Smith down 4-3 despite been 10 180s ahead

"One hundred and Gerwyn you require 74"

The pace these lads are throwing at, a tough gig as the caller tonight.

Smith had the only really stinker of a leg of the match there at the worst possible time.

Smith is finding a way to lose this match.

Threw that set away from 2-1 up.

He should be off into the sunset by now.

Price is granite, the Mark Selby of the darts world.

I wouldn't want to be the one upsetting Price

Especially if he looses

PsychoPete · 02-01-2022 12:15AM

Price and Smith are putting on a excellent show. With how good both of them are it's a shame this isn't a final

Why?? like all pathetic bullies he’s a coward underneath.

PsychoPete · 02-01-2022 12:18AM

Hold your throw bully!

Smith wins it, but Price will feel like he has thrown it away.

Another cracking match.

Joeseph Balls · 02-01-2022 12:21AM

Some game of darts!!

Officer999 · 02-01-2022 12:21AM

Wow thought Price had mentally broken Smith.

Great bottle to come back there

PsychoPete · 02-01-2022 12:21AM

Two fantastic games tonight and more of the same tomorrow hopefully

Deeper Blue · 02-01-2022 12:21AM

Smith was brilliant, great effort by Price in fairness

ctrl-alt-delete · 02-01-2022 12:22AM

I'm always amazed at how the players can recall how the legs went.

irishgeo · 02-01-2022 12:23AM

Hope Smith wins it now.

eagle eye · 02-01-2022 12:23AM

Delighted for Michael Smith. It's wide open, a totally calm and relaxed James Wade is dangerous, Gary Anderson has grown into the tournament and Wright looks class too.

AdrianG08 · 02-01-2022 12:23AM

I wanna see an interview with Price I'd say he will have alot to say

He's probably waiting outside for your man

mdwexford · 02-01-2022 12:25AM

18 sets of top quality tungsten tonight.

Fantastic effort from all four players.

His twitter could be interesting. The ref should be controlling the crowd. It's the stupid brexit mentality.

Despite losing the match, I think Price improved his esteem with most people

The personification of Lttle Englander knobheads.

LowOdour · 02-01-2022 12:34AM

Sky glossed over the crowd issue, unsurprisingly.

Ive been back in to the darts big time since xmas 2021, last time i was so interested was the Taylor/Priestley era

Regarding the crowd...I don't remember the whole 'fancy dress bantz' being a huge thing years ago. Is that kind of piss-up overtaking things at these tournaments?

boomdocker · 02-01-2022 12:35AM

That was brilliant

Gezzy's head was wrecked from missing the two match darts, but fair play to bully boy, he kept his nerve and clsoed it out in true style

Price has lost nothing in defeat , has done a great job at defending his title and is world no.1 by a country mile atm, deservedly

I really hope Smith doesn't get tripped up against Wade - he'll be the hot favourite, not only for the SF but to win it out - and hopefully he goes on to beat who ever comes out of the other semi

A wade v Anderson/Wright final would be a huge aniticlimax

Gotta love the darts! watched a lot of darts over the last few years and that's the first 9-darter i've seen live

Really? My instinct would be to write Wade off but Smithy has only got to the last 4 once before so I guess it's uncharted territory...

They did mention it in fairness, Part, Mardle and Woods discussed it and called it out for what it was.

Smith seems to have said in his interview that it was someone calling out his name, which was putting himself and Price off.

The fancy dress thing has been there for years now, just a big piss up for many there.

He has been to the Final before. In his interview when asked about Wade he said he had nothing going through his head. However he then went on to say it is in the back of his mind that he can achieve his dream this year.

He knows this is his best chance and that he has probably just come through the toughest match if he can keep his cool. We all know that isn't as easy as it should be though.

Cosmo Kramer · 02-01-2022 12:46AM

Were the crowd turned down by Sky in that final set - because I was expecting them to be all over Price at that stage, but they didn't sound near as bad as they have been for other matches? Or were the idiots just so drunk and coked up that they had stopped following it at that stage?

orecir · 02-01-2022 12:47AM

Need to proper police the crowd.

Enough is enough. Crowd are vile this year.

Pussyhands · 02-01-2022 12:48AM

What a great night of darts.

Really feel for Rydz. Thought he was superb.

I both like and dislike Price. Absolutely brilliant player but his antics on stage are way over the top. Doesn't show respect to his opponent with his roars when he wins a leg or if he throws a disappointing dart he'll sometime slow it down with a wry smile and look to the left.
