Actually I was in my office working on a project on a Sunday morning and took a break to watch the game which I dl...just addicted to baddy that work or not gotta watch.
After reading.. ..the first 3-4 pages of this thread, i was rolling my eyes & going to post: "gud save this thread and save............BC"........but thank goodness, cooler heads prevail and the "storm" seems to die off....
I watched that match too, during the 1st set, lcw didnt smash much either, and the rally didnt go long in the 1st set because bcl had already put the shuttle into the net.......it was just bcl making too many unforced errors in the 1st set. all 3 sets, lcw had been playing rally game, not an attacking one. Even it is true about the injury, it is better to keep that to himself, dont you think? ok, let's assume that's its true, the reason he was telling the media all these is because he wants LCW to be spared. (it's ok for him to lose cos he was having an injury). it is not like LCW going to benefit anything from giving those info to the media.
It is nothing to do with excuses -- it is a valid point that we brought up only from knowing the fact from his coach ! If I did not know about it from reading the press, I would have not have commented. If saying what I believe after reading the fact is not an opinion I am entitled to and be simply called making excuses, then so be it. I have no qualms -- it will not make me retract what I now believe. Sorry guys, you don't win.
Misbun said it to let people know, not LCW. And I am grateful to Misbun for telling it because I want to know this sort of things.
X Ball, im not accusing you guys in believing it or not, or bringing up this matter here.........as a matter of fact, i dont give a damn whether it is true or not, ok? you believe in what you believe, it is non of my business. can't you see that im bashing the decision of misbun of telling the press about the injury. it will not do lcw any good except for covering lcw's arse for his loss to bcl. and this covering arse shite = excuses.
Understand your good intention Alfa-2. But if you ask the majority of fans here, they would be glad to hear from Misbun what went wrong. Misbun was not trying to make excuses -- he was pointing to what happened. And that is my point to EGGY too that we are entitled to say what we believe in -- why should we not be able to do that. The world is built on opinions. We all know we cannot change the win - it was a win and you did not hear me say give it back because he had a knee problem, did you?
Question was meant for OneTough Birdie, we don't have Astro in North America and wondered where he watch the 3th set. Anyway, I believe LCW wasn't at his best form losing tamely to the 2nd and 3th set. The knee injury wasn't that serious to call it quit but it did impaired his movement. So, let's hope the ice pack will do the job and move on to win the French Open. Go LCW !
let's call this a truce, alright? cos we both know that we want the best for lcw. is wch playing in FO? he can be of lcw's help there.......sometimes it's good to know that MAS not only has lcw fighting the wall of china.
LCW is a good player. I guess it's kinda hard to accept that he lost to player whom he has beaten so often since at the start of DO '07 he was reckoned to be in good form. Then again, I can't help but remember that the times he lost to BCL, there were comments made. In WO 06, Madrid, it was the 'leg-breaking' comments made by LYB which was in HKO; another time was with regards to Li Mao's departure and now this. Whew....... anyway there are 3 more SS to go plus one grand final. Never say die.
that's right, what others (non Malaysian, esp CHN, LYB, BCL.......) will think when they read about this in the newspaper? it made LCW looks bad.
yeah. let's summarize the excuses LCW normally use: 1. break my leg 2. too much pressure 3. knee injury 4. BCL is so attractive that I can't concentrate.
