You left out help from Chen Hong (or actually from Li YB via CH). Totally agree with the earlier comments regarding slow motion replay. On another note, how can a national Open be unpired by umpired from the same country??
BCL played a good match today...congratz!!!erm...say 'jia you' 2 LCW for his next tournament(Hong Kong Open)...and hope badminton association of Hong Kong can employ those trained line judges...please...do not be unfair!
Stupid umpire and linesmans I really want to support china, if they can really show they have the abilities to win, but not win bcoz of all those stupid bad calls. The bad calls obviously showed on the replays, and even the commentators of china were speechless. Now the whole world had seen everything. I hope Badminton Associations will do something about it.
I am sure Bao is struggling inside… should I celebrate? Should I not? China is torturing Bao not LCW! LCW know very well he is being set up so no guilty feeling inside him.
this kind of bad calls will always happend,it becomes hot issue cos it happends in china,just wait N see in the next tournaments it happends again.theres a time the bad calls favors china players N theres a time it will favors other non-china players too
I agree here. Bao Chun Lai played better today and Lee Chong Wei was overcome by his own emotion. I salute Wong Mew Choo for her fighting spirit and calmness, although there were calls made against her yesterday in the match against Zhang Ning, she continued fighting till the end and eventually won the match.
yup faked...............BCL didnt cheat but those calls affected LCW's game more than 50%............guess it was right for the koreans to walk against CHN bad line calls. LCW should have done that too to protest.
What a crap linesmen....!!! Surely, they must be a rule that the host should not be an umpire and linesman...to avoid such controvesy...!!! Ruined the whole game....waste of time...!!
Yes, Bao played well. But linesmen and the umpire are even better, they have done a "good job" making China winning the MS title. No issue on Bao, but the judges.
I think the final bad call (BCL earned his 15th point in G02 through that) was so obvious even being observed on the TV screen. It was clearly an "out" albeit being ruled otherwise. When the RTM commenter learned about the call, he said, in an unbelieving tone, something like, "I would rather not to talk about it ..."
I agree with you totally.I am LCW fans and hoping for LCW win in the match but i have to admit that Bao played better today with or without the bad lines call.Well,we shouldn't attack on BCL like what he don't deserve the champion or some other words.But the facts is,the umpire or linesman from china really disgrace their own nation good name.If this game is fairer,i think BCL will be more happy.
I must say BCL played extremely well today. Smashes were very steep and with great accuracy. All his shos were with precision. To add to that WTH?! The stupid line calls were the stupidest thing I've ever seen!!! LCW didn't even unleash his skill during today's game. These bad line calls hindered LCW's performance. In conclusion, FIRE THOSE line judges.
the reason why i like LCW better than TH now is because i think he is more gentle than TH. Even though he got cheated but at least he still fight with proud.
congrats to BCL!! im glad he finally won something.. congrats to LCW & WMC (who won!) for entering the finals! first time msia represented in both finals!! unfortuantely, all of us here stopped watching half way tru the MS 1st set.. hehe... its such a disgrace for international badminton though... haiz...
