Macau Open 2007, Semi Finals 06 October 2007

U should see the bench just now...all INA players and coaches + MAS team were rooting for CTF/LWW and Wong Choong Hann (too bad he lost :cool:)

Choong Hann must be the most likable player ever.....
 
I REITERATE: KKK/TBH were simply the better pair yesterday. Sigit Pamungkas also analyzed the match well when he said that the quality of serves and balls of the MAS pair were simply more superior! The INA pair simply had no answer to them :mad:

I was disappointed that Kido/Hendra DID NOT GIVE their true performance yesterday, but, that is badminton...u win some, u lose some. I did congratulate MAS fans as both their doubles pairs have done well, didn't I? I give credit when its due.

To contrast the match between Koo/Tan and Kido/Setiawan, I have not seen a more lopsided battle between two top pairs in a long time. I didn't see the Koo/Tan whitewash against Cai/Fu at the Sudirman Cup, they were probably playing just as badly then. :D

Previous top pairs in the past 40 years were almost always consistent, battles between two of top pairs were never as one-sided. OK, so I missed the good old days when battles were fought over almost 2 hours ......

Somehow the new scoring system, the breakneck speed of MD play, and participation in a number of tournaments back-to-back has impacted all current top pairs' consistency at one point or another. And this despite the average game taking only 20-40 minutes to complete.

Taking the INA coach's assesment, the quality of service is one coaching area that is under constant improvement. As they say, the rally is won mostly by the quality of the 1st 3 shots.
 
i think the best thing to do is revert the doubles game back to the old scoring system while leaving the singles at the new - games finish too quickly nowadays...
 
To all mAS fans....it is very good news that MAS MD got all Final.

Please do not overjoy as MAS TEAM said to me that MAS MD needs to prove to win major tournaments as MAS has more losing rate than winning rate.

Please do not bash our INA MDs...this is not respectful as we, INA fans cheer for MAS MD...there is always win and lose....I get annoyed to see some comments like thrashing Kido/Setiawan, etc as one day INA MD will do same thing also....

Even all MAS and INA players are getting along well.....

Again...do not celebrate like MAS MD has won major championships...CY/FHF as well as other INA MD will be back.....

The match quality of MDs is better in the old days. Most of the matches r finished under 30mins nowadays. Blame the new scoring system. :rolleyes:

Base on what you said then we should basically do nothing :D:D We are all human and have feeling of joy and sadness so expression after the defeat or celebration after the triumph is still within the norm. Sure we should not trash and disrespect players and use all those unnecessary "F" words but nothing wrong to express disappointment and frustration thru individual view.
Malaysian fan has always been accused of very critical to their players, I for one don't quite agree with that. I love Malaysia players so when they fail to deliver then I get frustrated and express my view about it, what is so wrong about that? If this chat room is going to limit to only positive feedback then it loses its charm.
We throw stones at one another during the tournament but always hug and love again after the storm, I prefer that kind of feeling, more natural than suppressive.
Well, as usual, only my thought and hope doesn't raise the temperature of this chat room again. Now, about that "kachang puteh" .... :D:D:D:D
Cool and peace !!

As I wrote earlier before anyone jumping to the conclusion that we INA fans didn't accept the loss. I REITERATE: KKK/TBH were simply the better pair yesterday. Sigit Pamungkas also analyzed the match well when he said that the quality of serves and balls of the MAS pair were simply more superior! The INA pair simply had no answer to them :mad:

I don't see any of the real INA fans not accepting the loss... True fans are loyal! :cool: [Note: kecuali kalau keterlaluan banget lho ya... :p]

I have to admit that even though this Macau Open is not even a Superseries. In the MD category it is no 'kacang putih' laaah.... The top 4 pairs were all there... :p

Oh yes, INA's MD will be back... [as usual]... ;)
 
For MS it may be kacang putih as LD and LCW are absent but not that kacang putih as Taufik is playing.However, I don't think it is kacang putih for the MD as the top pairs are participating.

In Malaysia, "Kachang Puteh" mean something insignificant and easy to obtain ... Anyway, I wrote it for the fun of it, not intended to dis-credit Gold Series, if Taufik get offended, please apologize for me.

Yup. Now I completely understand the term kacang putih.... Ha ha ha... :D

Simply amazing!!! I just love you guys/gurls... so passionate and so emotional. I just feel it's simply wonderful and lucky that all badminton players out there have you guys as their die-hard fans. All the best, keep it up, debates, views and discussions are healthy, as long as it is kept in check. CHEERS!
 
Agree with Hauge, shouldn't belittle the opposition for not doing too well now, 'cos we haven't been doing well ourselves recently.

Otherwise, Hauge will stop sending SMS results to the forum in events with no live score!!!! :eek::D

I guess nobody overjoyed.

Hau-ge, I was so touched to know that the whole INA camp was cheering for CTF/LWW against FHF/CY. Thanks for the support. I believe that the MAS camp would have done the same when INA is playing against CHN.

But, what I don't like is that some INA fans finding excuses for the loss even before the match and make some self-comforting talk by bringing out some history and downgrading others.

After their ungentleman behaviors being pointed out, then they started to "clarify". I call it "gali lobang tutup lobang".

Note: Thanks for the sms again.

I did not suggest that you should not do anything,..it is okay to cheer and say good things about your players when they win....but no one has a right to thrash the opponents, saying here and there....sometimes..certain players are off at that day...I do not think it is fair to say bad things about kido/handra....thats all...

Huang, who in the Msian team you talked to? Assistant coach Pang? KKK/TBH, CTF/LWW?

I'm not super overjoyed, just glad they broke the drought barrier so the critics will get off their backs(meaning leave whole MD team in peace ) for a while.
