Are you saying that we should not point finger at LM along with LD? I think it's OK to blame other guilty parties, but not everyone shared equal amount of blame though. It will be up to BWF to sort out who gets what kind penalty depending on the role they played
What did Umpire say about the incident Let's hear what the umpire have to say about the incident. Here is the link. http://news.wenxuecity.com/messages/200801/news-gb2312-516590.html In summary, he admitted the shot was out. He understand Lin Dan. He was not happy about the those linesman calls.
He's taking some responsibility himself for what happened under his watch. Part of the interview tells what happened on the court and are the facts, like for the disputed call, he looked at the linesmen/lineswomen, who firmly confirm the shot was in, and the TV referee gave the same answer to him so he insisted to upheld the call. From the video, we did not know the umpire did all these things before he made the final decision for not correcting the call at the time, which turned out to be a wrong decision.
what umpire said that LD and Lm was so close to each other and had some agurement b4 lin dan threw the racquet . watch the tw clip LD went to the net talked to the umpire and LHI and walked back couple stepd then turn around threw the racquet LD and LM was no where near each other b4 LD threw the racquet
from what i know ..this newspaper is not any major newspaper, it is one of these kind paper make up all kinds stories .
from the video , the ref was never turn around his head after he made his call and b4 lin dan threw his racquet, he turned after LD threw the racquet away
Look at my post (#53) LD and LM was in a close range when LD went to talk to the umpire, at that time LM stood up, walked a couple of steps out, and shouted at the umpire and LD. That happened before LD walked away and turned around, then threw the racket.
he..he who has cut off the video frame that contains lindan throwing his racket ... i saw it in youtube
HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHAH AHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHH AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH post of the day anyone?
That's the problem with Lin Dan, he continues to make up stories as he goes along and now has reached no turning point. Just look at the way the threw the racket and don't tell me he meant no harm to the one that he threw at? Xie Xingfang should look at this video to make sure this is the guy she wants to stick with for the rest of her life, this is no kidding. One less idol in my book.
I already put in my pts in the other thread combined from the vids , which I think now is locked. From the official broadcast & Alphonse's vid, LM & LD werent standing near the umpire or close to each other when LD threw his racket. The Korea assistant coach was standing a distance away from the umpire when the 22-21 call was made. LM & assistant walked forward from their chairs, not backward when LD & coach went over to Korea side. Sorry, just read again, LM said he moved forward a bit bf racket throwing... unfortunately no vid on that...hmmmmmm
the biggest fault of the impire was to give only a yellow card for such a behaviour. "discussing" with fans remains me of a report i saw about a demonstration for Michael Jackson, where the "fans" argued like " ...he must be innocent because he makes such a good music and I can´t believe he did this"... and what makes me really wonder is there are obviously some leaders of this board trying to talk down Lin Dan´s assault by pointing at others and also wonder why kwun limited the penalty to a 2 SS-suspension...in football (what some call soccer) he would be out for a longer time...
Cut it mate. They choose to see what they want to see and believer in what they believe. From the denial of LD actually throws the racquet, choose not to see the video, till undeniably he actually did, then to him not actually throwing at LM direction, corrected at last, then to LM shouting at him "before" he throws, end up it was "after", then to LM severely insulted him with words, choose not to read LD's blog accounts in a thread call LD's blog... that his testimonial admited that LM didnt do verbal personal attack, then ignore it and still back to conclusion LM must have said something bad again, then it is far or near like this one. While they can pretty much get all the idea by just look back into the video.
But LD did say he heard some verbal attack from LM to him. LD said "i was far away from LM" when he threw the racket: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51838 (post #6).
Interested to hear what are the discussion or gist of it from the China fans. Any BC-forummers who can read and visited any of the Chinese badminton forum sites can give us a general feel?? Thanks.
