The Australian term of walkabout (go wandering into the bush) best describes KKK-TBH. For sometime now (and Pemuda has been singing their downfall and rightfully - forcing me to eat humble pie here), the pair has done nothing but given false hopes to the fans (although I have never been their greatest). Yesteday's match showed how little knowledge they have accumulated and as a result, they paid the price and were awesomely destroyed by the INA pair (and congratulation on a powerful display). Pemuda is a genius (and I take my words back on your RMIT degree). He had been frustrated by Malaysians' efforts in the past (probably more than me) and yesterday may have aggravated his dislike of Malaysian sportsmen and their capabilities (I hope not) even more. KKK-TBH are miles away from anyone's dream of heroes - I think they will be struggling for a while unless their brains pick up. There were glimpses of their capabilities but these are nothing more than just glimpses. Glimpses don't win tournaments unfortunately. There are many things wrong here but I would like not to comment further except that it is hard to see any more big wins for them. Pemuda, although I ate humble pie, I would like to think that LCW boleh today and you would soon go bald (no hard feelings). Truly devastated but life goes on.
You, X Ball, have my respects for crafting this post, instead of disappearing into the woodwork. These glimpses of talents from Malaysia does give hope that the talent pool is there, but the implementation is still lacking. We still hope. -dave
Yesterday when I went to bed it hadn't really sunk it, but today when I woke up I felt depressed... I think most Malaysian fans are disillusioned and even the more optimistic ones (X Ball definitely one of them) can't help but feel dissapointed. Although, our hope remains at 11.30am Beijing time/1:30 Brisbane time. Hopefully he will pull through to tomorrow to find himself playing at 6:30pm Beijing time 8:30pm Brisbane time.
Yeah..X ball.Pemuda is in all threads.Getting overwhelming by his 'true prediction' on kkk/tbh maybe. i've never lose my hope on kkk/tbh.Not even now.
Seriously? Oh my. Do people have to be so mean towards their own countrymen? If you are a fan, you should support them irregardless of their result. At least they are playing and representing Malaysia in an Olympic Game. Something that can't be said about most of us here.
You need to try to pull yourself up! We still have to go on to support LCW! Yesterday one of my friend sms me " my heart is broken!" I sms back " my heart is broken too!" .But we still have hope. Looking at LCW perfomance recently, I can' t find fault in him. Even RS that lost to him gave him all the praise and think LCW will go all the way to claim the gold medal. So don' t get depressed will you?
X-ball...is just like any other day for Malaysian fans... today realli no mood... but i know we will be back and support them again very soon...thats us....
You have my greatest respect and a true badminton fan. KKK-TBH should be grateful to have fans like you.
It is not mean Felix, we are not going to wipe them out (I am not going to attack their characters). It is just facing reality that they are not good enough anymore and that if we go on thinking they are, we will all be disappointed further. Telling it like it is and it hurts.
You're right! Lee Chong Wei is still IN THE GAME!!! X Ball don't despair! Lee Chong Wei will save the day! YEAH!
It is pretty sad to hear this from u.It'll never be easy. But i think /tbh felt something worse than what we have here.Much worse.I consider they have lost a defender.im not ready to be in that club.
It's NOT difficult to see how our MD pairs lost and go home without a medal. I was very mad when BAM chose uncles over the Fuzzy when the Fuzzy were on fire by winning two SS consecutively... uncles are simply OLD... period KKK/TBH pair is still young and ignorant (aka arrogant). Give them 4 more yrs, they will do well in London 2012. I expect Fuzzy pair to maintain top 2 in Msia.
For kkk/tbh,It has been quite sometimes we use 'young and immatured' excuse.it sound irrelevant by now. At least,we see the improvement.But its not enough.all they have to do is to keep themselves on this track.The lost is tragic,if i can say that.Lost when they themselves have high expectations. The impact is,they lost one ultra loyal fan,that is x ball.
Yes... I think Fuzzy pair is much more dangerous to other pairs. Personally I feel "scared" if they have to meet Ina players....They are young, fast and furious...more explosive...like Rick and Rexy
absolutely agree... i kinda like their attitudes on court... i watched them playing INA pairs in the INA Open and was impressed. But BAM still chose the uncles over the Fuzzy i was devastated...!!! Lets hope kido/markis will beat the Danish pair and tame Fu/Chai for the GOLD... perhaps SILVER is a good achievement for INA...
