Gerwyn Price lost out in the Quarter-Finals of the 2021/22 PDC World Darts Championship to Michael Smith with one of the main talking points again being the crowd.
Price threw his first two darts at 4-3 (1-1) up and made a gesture to a member of the crowd who was seemingly trying to put him off.
He then went to tell George Noble and pointed out the individual with Price visibly annoyed with this.
From there, Smith went onto win and 'Bully Boy' said post match they were cheering for him but that it was annoying even him.
Price was cheated as he had 2 match darts at his favourite double top and the crowd put him off. The crowd tried to put Wright off too with not as much aggression as was directed at Price and his young family. Smith played well but he was still lucky to win. The PDC has now to stamp this cheating by the crowd out and punish them, even if it means stopping ad delaying the match untill the culprits have been banned for life and ejected from the building. I feel that if the Dart player being constantly berated and slandered by some jerk in the crowd every time they went for a double, was a minority or a Female then the officials would do more to stop it and punish the offenders. With this going on I am personally done with watching the darts and I have cancelled my PDC subscription over this, because I want to see the best players in the finals and not those that the drunken thugs want there. I hope that Wright now goes on to win as he is easily the best of those that remain in it.
