though i'm big fan of taufik, i'm very dissappointed with what taufik's achievement in the 2 tournaments, it seems taufik didn't prepare well for those tournmaments . i know he did many private parties during worldcup 2006.PBSi should send sony and simon, don't send 'not well prepared' taufik :rolleyes:.

it's time to give a punishment to taufik, it's for taufik's sake , and also for a justice to other ina players :rolleyes:

Win or lose is very common for a player. No one is perfect or unbeatable. I think this is a good opportunities for TH and his fan to accept the fact that other players are also as good as himself, if not better than him.

Maybe his play pattern is not suitable for 21 pts system? Could that be the case?

Though I have to agree that Sony and Simon ought to be exposed more to quality tournaments. PBSI did not show good judgement on this issue.

taufik just doesn't have much energy to play 3 sets in 21 pts system, he seems not practising well :rolleyes:

i don't envy PBSI at all - we had a player in our club who was just the same. if he wanted to win he would go all out - and usually win... if he didn't care - he was just average. so hard to know whether to play him or not, and which team.... :( PBSI should send sony / simon more often. but perhaps invest in a shrink for taufik :)

Do not punish anyone, PBSI!!! If you punish TH, while Sony and Simon are still not good yet, it will be a big disaster for INDONESIA...hope PBSI will be wiser to TH and other players.
I think TH is not suitable to the new system.

There's no such thing as disaster. Nothing comes above the country and discipline, definitely not any single player.

Why Taufik's performance fluctuate so much? Is it the power of doping? I knew Sigit, another INA player, was used to it.

nah, i don't think it's doping at all.
i think it's all just in his head, he just doesn't seem very motivated at the moment.
i suspect it's because of the lack of competition in the indonesian MS, somehow sony and simon and the others just aren't challenging him enough.
back when indonesian had ardy, joko, alan, heryanto and the rest together, they were the best because they pushed each other very hard to get into the indonesian team.
i think that's lacking at the moment.

I think we must also give credit to KJ... thou he's not no 1 in the world but definitely he has the capability to beat any players in the world.
If anyone of you saw him played againts CH in SO 2006 semifinal, you guys will surely agree with my opinion. He was so good during that match.

the same same same opinion like you .... :p

Aya! No live score so most of us have disappeared from the forum..... How is my favourite son Lee Chong Wei doing now???? Has he beaten Bao CL yet???Ya lor..why i feel like everyone don't care about the Macao Open like MO or CTO....And why no live score and live broadcasting?Seem like nobody is online...Hey guys...come back,where you all gone..Please tell me the MS result...:)

Went to the Macau Open website a short while ago but no further results yet. Surely there must be at least one Macau badminton fan lurking somewhere ..... please update us!!!

waooooo ... no chinese women in semi final ....


SM Prediction :
Lindan beat Hyun Il
Chongwei beat Chen Hong

My favourite player Chen Jin is lost .... :crying:

We should stop finding excuses for Taufik, if LHI beat him then Lee is just better than him on that day. We all admire the talent of Taufik but there are so many capable MS players around that need to be recognized, they may not be as "colorful" as Taufik but very solid WC title contender. I didn't realize Lin Dan have won 11 titles this year until the commentator mentioned it in MVP 2006, what an achievement and should still be world number 1 in my book(I love Lee Chong Wei but I don't think LCW can beat Lin Dan in neutral ground).
Of course, anything can happen if you advance far into the round that's why BAM is sending LCW to most of the remaining tournaments.
Can't wait to see LCW vs Lin Dan again in Macau Final.

Errr...this is surely a mistake. Lin Dan has won only the All England and Chinese Taipei Open this year! He could have won 11 titles so far in his career...but definitely not this year! Even Lee Chong Wei has won 4 titles this year (if you include the Commonwealth Individual Event Gold).

Taufik not feeling well. Thats why he lost.

Hopefully next world championship Lee Chong wei will meet Lindan again ...

Taufik is not feeling well ... he is just not focus ... have some family problem ...

good news,

the son problem has solved :)

good news,

the son problem has solved :)

So, what's the story and verdict.

So, what's the story and verdict.

fanny, the woman who has accused taufik, has withdrawn from the claim

i think it's becos of the power of father in law , money may involve there :rolleyes:

yes.

now taufik can focus for upcoming tournaments :)

Taufik not feeling well. Thats why he lost.

very odd...when everytime TH lost his game, that's so many "EXCUSES" like he is injured, not feeling well, not well prepare, give victory to opponent, personal problem etc.... In this badminton arena, there is still many good players why just like to 'colorful' TH until he is like a 'superman' in the world of badminton?

hahahhahaa...old story, cliche.

Still not confirmed he could focus on playing, cause he's still thinking of his new ferarri.

LOL.. yeah, I find it very funny too. Everytime Taufik loses, there will be excuses. :D

question is who give the excuses when TH lost? Taufik himself or his 'loyal' fans?

Taufik is a great player, he always admits when he loses...

It is his supporters like myself who make excuses:D .
yeah...it is common lah...:)

Still not confirmed he could focus on playing, cause he's still thinking of his new ferarri.

Which one ? The red one or the black hair one ?:D

he need a new reason to win the next big tournament since now he got the car, land, money, wife, etc :D

TH is maradona of badminton :D

when TH will be SUPERMAN RETURNED........:crying:

Actually the gym was quite difficult to play in i was told by many players at Macau Open. Its not hard to believe, after all a lot of top ranked players lost out to those who they really would not lose to. Just about being lucky this time since it could really go either way.

Actually they can't blame it on the draft even the draft condition at the MVP cup venue is terrible. Even at Macau Open, i was told as well the draft condition there is kinda bad as well. Does that mean that the lower ranked player has better control over the draft?

it's difficult 4 him to win the world champion .... no stamina n no motivation ...

Its not that lower ranked players control better under less than perfect conditions, its that the top players are essentially expected to perform under any circumstance.

Mentally these players like Taufik, Lin Dan, Bao, Zhang Ning etc. can be affected by these types of conditions especially when playing against someone who they would normally beat without any real threat. Im sure each player can say that the draft affected their play but really its all in the mind. There is no real reason for top players to go three games or lose against a less skilled/physically fit player but when things don't go their way, their minds play a big roll in their mistakes.

Mentally these players like Taufik, Lin Dan, Bao, Zhang Ning etc. can be affected by these types of conditions especially when playing against someone who they would normally beat without any real threat.

So mentally the lower ranked players are better?

The top ranked players always have to deal with the Pressure of beating someone they are expected too, whether hall is drafty or not. Likewise Lower ranked players have the pressure of playing against a star player. They will of course be more motivated to play against better players, but they are better players, so should win.

Draft should be no excuse. Upsets happen at every tournament, good draft, bad draft, good lighting or bad lighting.

everytime when taufik lost , its because of sickness , injuries, lost of concentration, etc.....oh i am getting really sick of the excuses...cant it be coz the opponets are really better than him on that day...please taufik is nt unbeatable...
