Sky Sports apologizes after Price makes gesture construed as potentially offensive during De Sousa win at PDC World Darts Championship
PDC
Gerwyn Price sealed victory over Jose de Sousa to reach the Quarter-Finals of the PDC World Darts Championship but social media was full of comments about an incident which was apologized for by Sky Sports.
Price reacted to missing out on a 180 by pulling a face which could be construed as offensive to disabled people which was commented on during the Josh Rock and Jonny Clayton game with an apology issued by the broadcaster.
Videos and images soon emerged of this after being missed at the time with many condemning Price for this calling it 'deeply inappropriate' and 'disgusting behavior'.
Like other recent incidents such as Scott Williams' middle finger and Nathan Aspinall's gesture during the Jermaine Wattimena match, it could also see 'The Iceman' face a fine from the DRA.
Should have made HIM come out and apologise, although I thought he was impersonating Van Gurning

- I agree. There needs to be a points system and preferably just a rolling one year. World Championship should earn the most points though it can be argued that the current qualification system does see a fair few players qualify from regional country qualifiers who would struggle to hold down a place on the Pro Tour. If prize money won is going to remain as the determining factor for ranking then the World Championship should just consist of the 128 Tour Card Holders. Another option would be to take the World Championship out of the rankings and have it as the stand alone pinnacle that you qualify for by winning certain tournaments or your ranking position, sort of like a GSOD+.Mysstree05-04-2025
- The Premier league has literally become a pantomime with a hero and villain, all thats needed is an older dart player in drag to play the joke old woman / queen and a younger woman to play the male hero. Barry is probably working on it now.Mysstree04-04-2025

- The next prodigy (prodigies) are just round the corner. Wonder if it gets to the stage of 180 after 180 being hit leg after leg whether there will be a modification to the equipment such as reduced doubles and trebles, reduce the size of the board or length of the oche?Mysstree25-03-2025
- obviously littler has the potential to surpass everybody simply because nobody has been this good at this age before, but people who think he would be any kind of favourite right now against prime taylor in a big final have short memories. it's obvious that prime taylor wouldn't win as many world titles if he was playing today, but there's also good reason to believe he'd be winning more than anybody else. hell, his statistical profile still stands alone in darts history and he might statistically be even better if he was playing today with better equipment, larger beds, more competition therefore more motivation, etc.colt24-03-2025
- Bad idea. Every other Major ranking title prize funds added together do not come to £1 million. Add £500k to the prize pot and spread it out evenly over the draw.Mysstree24-03-2025

- The Premier League is a glorified promotional tool for piss heads to attend and shout abuse at dart players so averages are not the way to pick the best line up. Throw Peter Manley, Eric Bristow and Jocky Wilson into the mix for some real fireworks.Mysstree22-03-2025
