Does Gerwyn Price Believe He Deserves Being Hated?

[@HappyHourPodcast]

What's your opinion on Gezzy? Has it changed after hearing his side of the story? 🇳🇺

[@danwalker6630]

As someone whos met him numerous times.. I can not stress enough how nice the bloke is.. in Minehead like the UK Open now.. he'll always stop and chat etc

[@thomas1677]

Always known he's a top bloke

[@MattWilliams482]

Always liked him, like him even more after this podcast. Was a brilliant one boys.

He deserves all the abuse he gets

[@benjefferson2557]

Definitely. 100% converted. Never hated him and admired his talent but he’s got a new fan. Nice one, lads!

Gerwyn Price is exactly what Darts needed to bring it up into the modern days. He's an elite player and has taken the sport from strength to strength. Good on him

Nobody should be hating on this man. He's great for the game of Darts and an unbelieveable player, yes he's had bust ups in the past but who cares it shows his true commitment and passion for the game!

What an absolute gentleman, I really enjoyed this one and I could honestly sat listening to another hour or two, the chemistry between you all in this one was spot on, all sounded like you was enjoying yourselves too! And Price, what an absolute legend. Class

His performance in Belfast in premier league was amazing to say the least,beat MVG who was playing awesome as well,threw 2 nine darters,had to play great again in final against Wade to win.He’s won me over

[@osauria98]

He's hated less than he thinks, there's always a few arseholes at the darts and the mob mentality takes over I think he says some really wanky things when he loses sometimes but he's passionate and amazing to watch

[@gallo8851]

The thing is with this though is that he says and does these things but it makes people talk about him more. Being in the spotlight= $$$

I never had an issue with him I liked the fact he was quite health conscious and into training as well as darts and not just succumb to the usual jabba the hut body type like a lot of darts players

[@andrewmay1299]

There’s a happy medium though. He still looks like Jabba the Hut, despite the fact that it’s muscle rather than fat. The meathead, cubic body shape isn’t a good look either.

[@Upsurging93]

Absolute minefield of a crowd when everyone is 15 pints in before the main event and Gerwyn playing the pantomime villan and being a Welsh man in a mostly an English crowd the guy deserves the title of "THE ICE MAN".

[@danum442]

As an Englishman that lives in Wales, I am with Gezzy every day! The Welsh are proud, strong and wonderfully friendly folk. x

[@Jamspoon6]

Absolutely love Gerwyn Price. Been into darts for a while now and just love seeing him play and erupt instantaneously when he does something mad haha

[@chriscossey1]

Easily my favourite darts player, what a man !! Gwarn pricey, legend. Brings a bit of passion to the sport very refreshing.

[@danstevens5296]

Met price at the greyhound derby final at towcester last year was happy to take a photo and had a good chat lovely bloke

[@willatno2]

Fantastic character and a true gladiator. When you compete you have to give it your all . If you worry what people think of you then your not concentrating on who you are !

[@smudgersmith92]

Met gerwyn on a stag do in Benidorm and he was absolutely sound 👌🏼 always rooted for him ever since 💪🏼

[@bradleyst7539]

Will always be my favourite player, and I’m English so there’s no country bias or anything like that, he’s just a top bloke and class darts player.

[@alexhurst4529]

He’s just passionate about his game and sometimes, very occasionally, he goes a little step overboard. Watched a lot of interviews with the guy and he’s more humble than you’d think

[@danielthompsonX007]

Gezzy has been my favourite player since I really took a liking to darts in late ‘18 and now I just like him even more. He’s such a wonderful guy and hopefully the crowds tone down the booing because it’s beyond ridiculous now. Happy birthday to Gezzy too 🥳😇🙌🏻

[@ianchristopherson1973]

He's a great player and a great character, I felt sorry for him at the World Champs, biggest game of the year and the crowd gave him a terrible time.

[@robbietomkins6977]

Didn't like gerwyn until hearing this pod but my mind has happily been changed on the man! What a guy! Get Peter Wright on the pod!!!

[@brandonm8901]

I need to see more Jaackmaate content on the PDC channel again!

[@harryellisrules]

Tbh, he came across a decent guy in this. I can understand the boos sometimes when he’s been unsportsmanlike in defeat.

[@ashwilliams4959]

He comes across as decent but can't ignore how he doesn't understand why he's not liked. Anyone who isn't an egotistical tw** can see his attitude on stage is embarrassing

[@andrewmay1299]

For me, it’s more the fact that he’s unsportsmanlike in victory. I don’t usually judge people too much on their behaviour when they’ve lost, as that’s a difficult situation. His celebrations and reactions on stage are over the top and disrespectful.

[@JAM8OC]

Really enjoyed this! Has really changed my opinion on price! I think a big point in this was the fact that when he spoke about his bust up with Anderson, the host said, he’s a bit fiesty as well isn’t he? It would have been easy and safer for price to just say yeh he is, but he actually defended Gary Anderson and said no, he’s not, he’s actually very chilled and not fiesty at all. I’ll also say, he mentioned that Gary started that by pushing him up the oche, but price made contact with Gary, that’s why Gary pushed him. I’m Scottish and have a Welsh wife and have lived in wales now for 17 years, and in price and Clayton, wales has two cracking players to be proud of!

[@aaronwhite4368]

Get James Wade on lads.

[@joshx0468]

Love the fact the Welshman🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 are popping up on KZbin or in the media in general, honestly thought no one really knew about wales that much

[@MrHoss-dq9zh]

[@ahoyitsmeduckling3737]

Me personally I think he's a brilliant dart player, and I for one was happy to see him win the world championship despite me not liking him I used to boo him but I've gotta be honest it's getting boring now he's a top guy honest and most of all does his talking on the, the booing is petty now because all dart players have a reaction, fair play gezzy good luck for the rest of your career x

I'm English and I think he's great for the sport. He came across superb, well done guys.

[@Harvey-d3z]

Talk about not judging a book by its cover. Price seems like a top bloke and it was a great episode, completely different to his on stage persona

[@TheJohnCooperShow]

It wasn’t just the Gary Anderson final. Gezzy was over celebrating all the time and refused to shake hands with opponents when he lost. He brought it on himself

[@B0BBYFL4SH]

Pantomime Villain Is our Gerwyn, it’s great for darts. Darts needs showbiz and personalities, as long as he doesn’t get any grief while being out and about, best about.

[@angus5427]

got snakebite for that

[@TheDevilsOwl505]

Gezzy for me is great for the sport, bit of needle, bit of pomp, gives it large when he needs to, I do think he gets carried away at times, but considering the game is getting more and more like that and it seems only certain players get booed for it, it's ridiculous the amount of hate The Iceman gets

[@salj8610]

Never thought I’d see price on the channel, fucking love it!

[@brianmcsherry1338]

What a guy, when people have a few drinks in them they will boo him because it’s the easy thing to do there plenty worse like Adrian Lewis who gets nothing like Price gets!

[@reecetomm]

People only “hate” Gerwyn in the context of the darts world, because he’s not someone who embraces the ridiculous crowds like Peter Wright, because he screams every time he hits a 180 it comes across as very ‘jock-like’ which people don’t like in darts. People go to darts for the fun time, seeing people take it very seriously like Gerwyn kinda bums them out, but I don’t think many people actually hate him for it. It’s perfectly understandable that for him to be at the top of his game that’s what he needs to do, and I think people respect that outside of darts and see him as a gentleman outside of it, but within the world of darts they want the out there over the top characters and Gerwyn just isn’t that.

[@camborocks]

I love watching this man play! Aggressive and entertaining, just what the game of darts needs.

[@neotheone477]

Any fan of darts has to any1 that makes the sport more known and has people constantly talking about it regardless if its bad or good great player and VERY ENTERTAINING to watch

[@georgelancaster5089]

I think its near impossible to be a top level sportsman without having some showmanship and arrogance, unfortunately for Gerwyn due to his sheer ability to take the jeers from the crowd on the chin, he's received more than most. But hes clearly a lovely genuine bloke and you simply have to respect him if you're any sort of darts fan regardless of loyalties.

[@jakesullivan8339]

[@HarvBolt]

How can I watch the full episodes of these please? I can’t keep concentration just by listening on Spotify.

[@l7767]

Top player, and I think he's matured alot. I think the Anderson incident, liking a fb comment mocking Durrants bell palsy and the tendency to not shake hands when he gets beaten has stuck in people's minds. However I think his performances are bringing people round and the boos won't last forever. Can't be as he's Welsh as Clayton doesn't get any stick really, as he's such a gentleman
