CCTV5 was also taking part i guess. They didnt bother to show the shuttle when it was out. all angry ppl here, pls sign the petition...........disgusting scumbags.........
HK has yet to be 100% blended to China in all the aspects, including their culture, values and beliefs. It's unlikely that such a thing could happen there considering their historical background.
Li YongBo got skin as thick as elephant hide. He's not bother as long as CHN wins at whatever expense. His job is done.
If you remember, the two bad calls on first game is 12-10 BCL lead. If LCW get the point, LCW is actually lead by 12-10. I never see LCW so upset on the call. If the call can be in or out (very close) I am sure he will not act like this. The broadcast are afraid to rebroadcast the bad call, they only rebroadcast the one is not questionable. No wonder TH withdraw from the SS.
Bao is a good player so do Lee, I am sure the game would have been very tight if not for the LINESMEn… China is really killing their own image! What a pity! True winner is LCW because he fight 1 baoChuntoi + 1billion chinese + 1 corrupted umpire + 8 blind lineman.
Come on. Decisions go for and against you in any sport. Sportsmen should accept it professionally as part of the game and move on, rather than let their performance be affected and make an excuse of it. BCL played well and deserved to win. If he was the one who lost in the controversial circumstances, I don't think there would be so many "unfair" calls.
BCL played well today. He deserved to win. LCW had done well, too bad he lost, but i would guess its not easy for him to play in China too. Well done LCW. As for WMC...Hooray! History is made today! She overcome all the strong Chinese players including Pi Honyang to win the title!
and the true sportsman is LCW. who despite the whole umpire team going against him still kept his cool and played till the end. my hats off to LCW for that.
Huh?? out and OUT. Should be out and in depending which line call you're talking about. It obviously affected LCW's concentration and confidence. He was shaking his head. The RTM commentator at the 4th line call said "Saya tak berani komen" after watching line call. That means he saw it as out. Anyway, this China Open is marred by so many of such problems that people will remember and question Bao's win.
Come to think of it, Mew Cho was really lucky, imagine the same bad calls one here and there would have cost her title?
Shameful Open Bao Chunlai played exceptionally well against Lee Chong Wei... ...and it's undoubtedly a well-earned victory for BCL. However, it's shameful to see China blatantly using its umpires, linesmen and lineswomen to tilt the balance. The official that umpired the XD match yesterday between China and Thailand was back in (shameful) action today in the BCL-LCW final. This is inspite of the fact that he made an obviously wrong ruling yesterday... ...to put it plainly, the man's talents don't go beyond juvenile umpiring Just as biased line-judging has marred previous editions of the China Open (in particular, I remember a match in which Peter Gade was being murdered by the line-judges), the China Open 2007 has been nothing short of a brazen display of 'sponsored official cheating'. Isn't there such a thing as national pride? How can China allow this to happen? In hindsight, I guess Taufik's decision to stay away was a wise one. Else, he'd have been playing against not just an opponent on court, but also against a dozen opponents seated around it.
