[Jessica]

Yes...Gade also force Bao to rubber..

[abedeng]

Great fightback by Gade, LYB forced to cancel team orders and submit new order to Bao. Beat Gade at all costs, or else ......

[samuel882]

Oh Yes !
With My support, Gade will surely go all the way :)

[badMania]

Peter Gade forces a rubber-set as he saved 2 match points to take it 23-21.

Roger Feder is out....:D

The INA pair is refusing to give up!

[huangkwokhau]

Fight !! Vita/Butet 16-18

[Jessica]

Great fightback by Gade, LYB forced to cancel team orders and submit new order to Bao. Beat Gade at all costs, or else ......Or else..I will break your leg..:D:D:D

[abedeng]

Vita/Lilyana are getting close, but pts are getting critical now.

[apontoh]

GO Vita/Butet...16-18!!

[abedeng]

Only 1 pt gap left, now or never for INA WD. Take that chance!!!!

[badMania]

1 pt gap now....17-18.

[huangkwokhau]

YES!! 17-18..one more to even the game

[huangkwokhau]

YES!! 18 all..come on....come on...

[abedeng]

Scores are level, and they play for 3 points.

[badMania]

2 quick pts make it 19-18! Come on gals...2 more to go!

[apontoh]

[abedeng]

Very desperate now, 19-19.

[badMania]

Level now at 19-19. Very very crucial point now!

[abedeng]

Damn, CHN at matchpoint, 20-19.

[badMania]

The Chinese pair reaches match pt and they take it 21-19!

Sigh...similar story to last year's match against Gao Ling/Huang Sui....19-21 in the rubber-set.

[huangkwokhau]

SAD!! SAD!! INA WD....still great fighT!

[abedeng]

Aw, shucks!! INA lost at those crucial moments. Well next time they have to start with guns blazing .....

[badMania]

Aw, shucks!! INA lost at those crucial moments. Well next time they have to start with guns blazing .....

Indeed....Sony and Vita/Butet both lost at crucial times...when the scores were at 19-19 :o

[abedeng]

Got to go now, need to migrate several servers. Talk to u guys tomorrow.

[huangkwokhau]

Hope Gade has enough stamina to pace with Bao

[vching]

Gade Gade,
you are the master,
the defier,
as you uncover,
the many team orders,
by the teacher,
(or one can say) the cheater.

One might ask, who is this cheater?

He was once a player,
whom we used to admire
who became a dictator ,
then a destroyer.
of the sport we all desire
to ultimately master.

[badminto_expert]

Come on Peter Gade. Hope Peter can win


Hope Gade has enough stamina to pace with Bao

[d65up2]

So Happy Lee Chong Wei Lost!!!! hehehehe

[d65up2]

Hahahaha Just Kidding...everyone would throw bricks at me now

[vching]

So Happy Lee Chong Wei Lost!!!! hehehehe

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: :mad::mad:

I'll let the rest deal with you :mad::mad::mad:

[badMania]

So Happy Lee Chong Wei Lost!!!! hehehehe

Aren't u a bit late on this one? :cool::rolleyes:

[d65up2]

Anyway why did he lose?? He didn't even play the 3rd?? its 0-0

[d65up2]

Well Luluk-Alven tomorrow against the giants...is like David vs Goliath

[eaglehelang]

Anyway why did he lose?? He didn't even play the 3rd?? its 0-0
Thank you for announcing your arrival. It was all over Msian press - that's online too. LCW had high fever, had to withdraw. Sick also he could win 1st set.
CCM/CCE had to withdraw at 3rd set cos CCe had knee injury from 2nd set.

[badMania]

Still a thrilling match between Peter Gade and Bao Chunlai as they enter the last 6 pts of the rubber-set, still locked at 15-15.

[d65up2]

Thank you for announcing your arrival. It was all over Msian press - that's online too. LCW had high fever, had to withdraw. Sick also he could win 1st set.
CCM/CCE had to withdraw at 3rd set cos CCe had knee injury from 2nd set.


Cool.....well get well soon Chong Wei.....although I was supporting Lee Hyun Il.....But seriously I think majority of BCers are Malaysian and MAS fans...am I right??

[eaglehelang]

hmmm Bao Bao vs PG score line pretty much like the one with WCH yesterday, pt by pt. The veterans dont give up. Our younger players must learn fighting spirit from the oldies.

[d65up2]

Well I was supporting Bao yesterday

[eaglehelang]

Cool.....well get well soon Chong Wei.....although I was supporting Lee Hyun Il.....But seriously I think majority of BCers are Malaysian and MAS fans...am I right??

+ Indonesians & Sporeans

[badMania]

17-17 now...as we get into the crucial moments....

[d65up2]

Nah I still think there are more Malaysians.....Indonesian bcers are not that active...I haven't seen any Danish apart from Yannie

[badMania]

18-18.....as usual....the one with the calmer nerves will win.

[samuel882]

What a great battle !

[d65up2]

Come on Gade!!!

[samuel882]

Not Looking good :(

[badMania]

2 match pts for Bao Chunlai at 20-18.

[badMania]

1 saved! 20-19.

[badMania]

The second one saved as well...as we go yet to another deuce at 20-20.

[badMania]

Match point for Peter Gade....21-20!

[badMania]

Both players have had match points saved now...21-21.

[robin7]

Damn it, INA tomboys lost to the most vulnerable WD CHN pair. It was so close.

[badMania]

Second match pts for Peter Gade...22-21.

[d65up2]

Gade took it again...lol

[robin7]

Damn it, INA tomboys lost to the most vulnerable WD CHN pair despite leading 19-18 in the decider. It was so close.

[eaglehelang]

Wahhhh, Bao Bao lost. LYB now very dark, a Tsunami unavoidable.......

[badMania]

WHAT A MATCH!!!!

Peter Gade beat Bao Chunlai in three unbelievable sets (esp the last two) 17-21, 23-21, 23-21. He saved 2 match pts in the second set and another 2 match points in the rubber-set to set up an encounter with Lin Dan tomorrow!

[badMania]

Wahhhh, Bao Bao lost. LYB now very dark, a Tsunami unavoidable.......

I like this one here :D

Today's casualty for Team China:
Zhang Ning
Bao Chunlai
Chen Jin

[badminto_expert]

Happy Bao C L Lost.....

Hope Peter can beat Lin Dan Tomorrow........boring see china win...hhhaaa


WHAT A MATCH!!!!

[d65up2]

interesting...well I hope there would be upsets tomorrow like Luluk-Alven upseting the Danes

[leonardklh]

come on danes... did u realise badminton denmark keep on improving?

[eaglehelang]

Nah I still think there are more Malaysians.....Indonesian bcers are not that active...I haven't seen any Danish apart from Yannie

There are those like Uqpark, demolidor, xt666 (I think he's westerner) but most of them dont have countrymen who're badminton players, so not so active in forum. Active in the video sharing thread though - uploading & downloading.

[badMania]

In the last match which nobody pays attention to, the Chinese-Taipei pair Chen Hong-Ling/Chou Chia-Chi have taken the first set 21-17. They are on course to win this match as they lead 7-4 in the second set.

[d65up2]

So no more Malaysian reps rite?? well dunno wat to say...a part of me is happy cos of the INA-MAS relation now a days...a part of me well no one else can challenge China now

[huangkwokhau]

wow...amazing that Gade won...about 69 minutes..amazing

[badminto_expert]

Yes. I hope LYB will angry and angry.. The arrogant man...


I like this one here :D

Today's casualty for Team China:
Zhang Ning
Bao Chunlai
Chen Jin

[huangkwokhau]

At least there is a match between Gade vs LD...otherwise it may be another WO.....

[vching]

Gade,
You did it again,
You played with LYB's heart
Got lost in the game
oh Gade Gade,
Oops I think I'm in love
You're sent from above
And Yongbo is now after your head!

[badMania]

Chen/Chou are making their way into the SF as they lead 11-4 at the interval. Another Chinese-Taipei pair for Flandy/Vita? Tricky....

[badminto_expert]

I also support INA to win...


interesting...well I hope there would be upsets tomorrow like Luluk-Alven upseting the Danes

[eaglehelang]

I like this one here :D

Today's casualty for Team China:
Zhang Ning
Bao Chunlai
Chen Jin

A medium Tsunami wave reaching the shores of China baddy, sweeping away the World no 3,4...... Tomm if the World no 1 MS falls, a Tsunami of 9.5 will hit, causing all to run to the mountains (hills too low, cant hide).... Woe woe unto those who are in the way of LYB's Tsunami wave.....;):D

[apontoh]

I like this one here :D

Today's casualty for Team China:
Zhang Ning
Bao Chunlai
Chen Jin

I add two near casualities: :p
Lin Dan
Zhang/Wei

[badminto_expert]

If Peter beat LD tomorrow.... We will be happy..... and LYB will be kill himself..


At least there is a match between Gade vs LD...otherwise it may be another WO.....

[eaglehelang]

If you went thru the threads, it's ok with us BC Msia fans.
WCH fought very hard, like PG game with BCL tdy, pt by pt. Must have tired Bao Bao out.
Our young Julia took a set from ZN, injured her ankle along the way.
We could have got representative in MS & MD if not due to injury & sickness.
Plus, not so many players went this time. Top 2 MD didnt go, juniors also very few went to Korea.

Current World no 1, Indonesia MD Kido/Setiawan lost straight sets to Lars/Jonas. It's a good run for Denmark, they're used to the cold.

[badMania]

The Danes are fighting back now...winning 6 straight pts to level it at 16-16!

[extremenanopowe]

wah gade heng.. ah. beat BCL. well done..

[huangkwokhau]

Now..Will Gade have enough energy to beat the fast LD??? I think it is tough

[Louisa]

I am proud of Danes.....go Jen/Helle....for the sake of our PAWs....

[d65up2]

Well its up to INA to get one title here...I hope they can do it....well

[badMania]

Another exciting finish is in store now...with scores level at 18-18.

[Louisa]

If Peter beat LD tomorrow.... We will be happy..... and LYB will be kill himself..
Nope, nope, nope....he will kill the players.......

[d65up2]

Its INA vs Taipei tomorrow...AYO AYO AYO INDONESIA KAMU PASTI BISA

[eaglehelang]

If Peter beat LD tomorrow.... We will be happy..... and LYB will be kill himself..

Nahh, LYB just send his own Tsunami across China. but Badmania must be careful it doesnt hit HK.

[Louisa]

Jen/Helle, comon, force rubber set............

[huangkwokhau]

Denmark has a good day..2 MS in Semi and 2 MD in semi....what else?? INA has 1 MX and 1 MD.....hope both make it to final.........

[badMania]

The Chinese-Taipei pair Chen Hung-Ling/Chou Chia-Chi have beaten Jens Eriksen/Helle Nielsen 21-17, 21-18. They will face the 4th seed Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa tomorrow.

That's all folks...dinner time!

[badMania]

Denmark has a good ady..2 MS in Semi and 2 MD in semi....what else?? INA has 1 MX and 1 MD.....hope both make it to final.........

For XD....I think Flandy/Vita should qualify....as long as they are not complacent :o For Luluk/Alvent...40-60.

[d65up2]

Well it would be good if Luluk-Alven can take the title here lol...that would be funny

[Louisa]

sorry Uncle Sam, I should not urged u to paw the match............

[samuel882]

sorry Uncle Sam, I should not urged u to paw the match............
:crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

[eaglehelang]

sorry Uncle Sam, I should not urged u to paw the match............

Samuel is that old that you call him 'uncle'?. Fastdrop is uncle age but Samuel???

[Louisa]

:crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
:crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:, for all who picked Jen/Helle, except Kar_mun, who is the only winner of this paw....

[samuel882]

Seriously i don't think any one here can stop LD from winning the title
For Peter Gade to play with injured rib against the World No.1 , it will be good to at least get one game .

[Louisa]

Samuel is that old that you call him 'uncle'?. Fastdrop is uncle age but Samuel???
We used to call him uncle irrespective of age...it is like ppl call me CAT, tho I am 100% human........:D
Call me aunty CAT, if u want...;)

[vching]

We used to call him uncle irrespective of age...it is like ppl call me CAT, tho I am 100% human........:D
Call me aunty CAT, if u want...;)
auntyyy cat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Louisa]

auntyyy cat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, good boy....come, aunty give u fish cake:D:D:D

[samuel882]

Its really a SAD day for Korean Mens doubles, they got a one-two finish in podium last year.But can't even get into SF now :(

[vching]

Oiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, good boy....come, aunty give u fish cake:D:D:D


thank you auntyyy cat!

[huangkwokhau]

Sony and Vita/Butet came too close to win the match..........

[george@chongwei]

Its really a SAD day for Korean Mens doubles, they got a one-two finish in podium last year.But can't even get into SF now :(
got enough sad than malaysia??
at least korea had representative in the semi final!>
while malaysia have none in the semi final!:crying::crying::crying::mad::rolleyes:

[apontoh]

Sony and Vita/Butet came too close to win the match..........
it's just not team INA's day...but maybe later, at the Olympics :p

[robin7]

With the departure of their teammates, LD & LL are only CHN survivors left in MS & WS draw. That guarantees some exciting SF matches. CHN can lose all the titles except WD. Let's see.

[vching]

got enough sad than malaysia??
at least korea had representative in the semi final!>
while malaysia have none in the semi final!:crying::crying::crying::mad::rolleyes:

don't be too sad.... we didn't send our full strength there...

[eaglehelang]

Nvm, george, nvm, your hero sick mah, if not sure you can cheer for him

[Louisa]

then it will be a 12 rit earthquake.....:D

[Louisa]

Nvm, george, nvm, your hero sick mah, if not sure you can cheer for him
yalor, then they have more time for AE ma....sick wo, what to do?????

[vching]

then it will be a 12 rit earthquake.....:D

beware beware
all those who are foolish to declare
that they want Li Yongbo to despair
for he will lure you into his lair
and cook you till you're medium rare!

[Krisna]

Yeah, sorry about the almost total destruction of the MAS team yesterday... :o I guess the BC forum won't be as lively without any strong MAS lineup in the quarterfinals, let alone the semifinals and finals... :o

Understandably, most of the MAS fans will not follow the rest of Korea Open once the last MAS WD gets eliminated. They will spend time playing badminton on their own this weekend... :p [I usually do that too when the INA team got clobbered in a certain tournament]

I think it has been proven in past BC forum postings that when there are MAS players playing in the finals or semifinals, the forum will be flooded by MAS-fans posts... If there are no MAS players in these final rounds, then the forum will be more quiet and less lively... :p These are the facts. I just said I can understand if the enthusiasm drop after the particular badminton heroes are not playing. Very natural.

By the way, don't get me wrong, I actually enjoy MAS-fans... They're fun. :)


Kawan, u r wrong.....we MAS, being good neighbour of INA + THAI, surely will support INA n THAI players this time....

We being supporter of Danes, surely will support them, too......
(since when I become spoke lady for MAS fan????:D)

NOT LIKE U...WE R TRUE LOVER OF BADMINTON!!!!!;)

I believe you would do that. But will all MAS-fans do that...? :) I understand if some MAS-fans won't support INA or THAI or DEN players at all...


Then you are WRONG....VERY VERY WRONG :p

Thanks, badMania... :p


oooooo, then show me the correct way....hahahaha...i m talking to Krisna, my fren:p
let me guess, do u mean that we follow the match, not bcoz we r true lover of badminton, instead, true lover of PAW???????????;)

Ha ha ha... yeah I understand. There are many true lovers of badminton who follow the games regardless of who plays. I think I truly like badminton too but I think some matches have no significant entertainment value for me to follow. :p For instance, I don't like to follow CHN vs. CHN WD or a UKR vs. RUS XD. If that makes me not a true lover of badminton for you. I can accept that... ;)

I don't deny that I like INA badminton a lot more than non-INA matches... :D I'm heavily biased towards INA. That is the fact. :p Ha ha...

[morphy]

I may be M'sian supporter but I want to see an ALL DEN affair in MS and MD!

but got a feeling it'll be CHN vs DEN in MDF and CHN vs Kor for MS :S

[Krisna]

The matches involving INA squad:

Court no 1

last match: Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae [3] vs Luluk Hadiyanto/Alvent Yulianto [6] -- a tough match in store and I hope Luluk/Alvent can progress. The Korean has the edge.

Court no 3
3:00pm Flandy Limpele/Vita Marissa [4] vs Mohd Rijal/Greysia Polii -- no question abt it, Flandy/Vita to progress.

followed by Lin Dan [1] vs Sony Dwi Kuncoro [6] -- Sony fulfills his seeding and I don't see him winning against Lin Dan tomorrow.

last match: Wei Yili/Zhang Yawen [1] vs Vita Marissa/Liliyana Natsir [8] -- Vita/Butet can beat another Chinese pair here...but as always, Wei/Zhang have the edge.


I think Luluk-Alven can still progress... :D and yeah, Flandy-Vita too... ;)


badMania, aren't you glad that you're wrong in your Luluk-Alven prediction?!? ;) :D :D :D

[eaglehelang]

yalor, then they have more time for AE ma....sick wo, what to do?????

no, next assignment is Thomas & Uber Cup qualifiers in Feb aft CNY

[eaglehelang]

I may be M'sian by heritage but I want to see an ALL DEN affair in MS and MD!

but got a feeling it'll be CHN vs DEN in MDF :S

Yup, the 'rest of the world' vs China thingy

[george@chongwei]

but pls remember this 1>> MALAYSIA TEAM WILL BOUNCE BACK IN THE ALL ENGLAND BADMINTON CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

[morphy]

I don't deny that I like INA badminton a lot more than non-INA matches... :D I'm heavily biased towards INA. That is the fact. :p Ha ha...
Nothing wrong with being biased toward teams you support..I think every fan pretty much do that.

But if supporting one's team means having to bash another player/team because they're not from your country or whatever, that's unnecessary imo and I'm glad not much of that happens here at least not in my short time here ;).

[vching]

but pls remember this 1>> MALAYSIA TEAM WILL BOUNCE BACK IN THE ALL ENGLAND BADMINTON CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

thats right guys, Malaysia will own everyone at AE, SO and all the tournaments for the next 10 years.

[robin7]

U r right. I noticed that whenever MAS team is not doing well in a tournament, there are always the same bunch of outsiders who never fail to take this opportnity to "attack" MAS. I'm just wondering when will all these kids grow up.:rolleyes:

[morphy]

you hit the nail on the head..they have to be kids to be acting like that, hard to take them seriously and probabably excusable. But if adult wow they need help haha.

[eaglehelang]

U r right. I noticed that whenever MAS team is not doing well in a tournament, there are always the same bunch of outsiderswho never fail to take this opportnity to "attack" MAS. I'm just wondering when will all these kids grow up.:rolleyes:

And insiders too robin7. I argued on Msian fans being overly critical (to no avail),in which BCers from other countries think so too.

And how they say here & at the stadium (though not all)- along the lines of "go back to kampung, dont play badminton anymore", not very patriotic. All our top players in MS, WS, MD mention the home grd pressure.

They're not really kids anymore, teens & in early twenties.

[cute_cute]

If Wong/Chin attacking futher more,i think that they will give korean pair a good fight

[THEbaschti]

Wow great performance by the danish team! Great to see both Kenneth and Peter in semis! Also 2 danish MD playing tomorrow, that's amazing, hope to see 2 titles this time! Go Go Denmark!!

Then they're not exactly fans of MAS or fans of badminton for that matter.

[d65up2]

Its really a SAD day for Korean Mens doubles, they got a one-two finish in podium last year.But can't even get into SF now :(

I am a happy man

[d65up2]

but pls remember this 1>> MALAYSIA TEAM WILL BOUNCE BACK IN THE ALL ENGLAND BADMINTON CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

I hope not...I rather have the Chinese to be honest

[badMania]

badMania, aren't you glad that you're wrong in your Luluk-Alven prediction?!? ;) :D :D :D

Hehe....its up to them to prove me wrong again tomorrow (and on Sunday if they can progress all the way) :o

[vching]

I am a happy man

d65up2... you like to stir emotions here eh?

[eaglehelang]

Then they're not exactly fans of MAS or fans of badminton for that matter.

RLOL, you dont know the half of it, yet.

I agree. :) I'm glad so far the moderator does not think of our comments as "unnecessary roughness"... Usually the moderators throw out or ban the ruffians...

Really?!? I don't see much [if any] anti-MAS sentiment in BC... I see much more anti-CHN sentiments and a little bit of anti-INA... Well, this is my opinion lah... :) Denmark seems to be the only country that does not get critisized or receive "unnecessary roughness" at all... :D

[Jessica]

Tomorrow i will support Denmark team all the way..Of course our neighbour Indonesia too..

[samuel882]

Those claims many fans anti MAS, please do a count for urself how many post of ANTI CHN here. Think first before shoot ur fire :cool:

[eaglehelang]

Tomorrow i will support Denmark team all the way..Of course our neighbour Indonesia too..

Denmark vs INA how?:D

[Jessica]

Denmark vs INA how?:D
Aiyo..I didn't think of this..Then may the best player win..:D:p

[morphy]

RLOL, you dont know the half of it, yet.

Let me rephrase that: I don't consider them to be MAS fans or badminton fans ;).

On the flipside an argument could also be made that since they paid money to see the matches they're allowed to boo their hometeam. While I might go with that, its really counterproductive for the teams in question.

That said, the players if they're professionals, should be able to block it out and not let it affect their game.
Easier said than done...but that's what makes a champion..not just skills but mental toughness. Something I like to see more in our younger players...and I'm not gonna name names :cool:.

Ha ha, you've been reading the threads I see.

1) It would be better if they dont do that at all, that was my arguement, since (as far I know) most other countries dont , except maybe Indonesia. Others, they cheer their players even though their players trailing 10 pts behind, impossible to catch up.
The home crowd dont boo all players, but they still boo (female players are exempt though for some). I never liked such mentality in the fans, I still dont.

Like they dont want their country men to win, which is sthing many non Msian have asked me. The foreigners were cheering for our players till the end, then hear Msians......, they said "If your country dont want them to play for you, we want them for our country."

2) But since it's the Msian culture, yes, the players, young or experienced, have to program in their mind that the boos are for their opponents or sthing like that.:D.

I now remember that most comments that critisize MAS are from the BC members who reside in MAS themselves... :p A very peculiar habit unique to the MAS residents. I would never say any damaging things to INA players. If INA players loose, we just weep for a few minutes :crying: and then go on with life positively... :D :D

So your point is...? :confused: There are more anti-CHN than anti-MAS? :confused: Shoot fire where? :confused:

[Krisna]

Tomorrow i will support Denmark team all the way..Of course our neighbour Indonesia too..

I will surely support MAS if they play against CHN... ;) :D Yes, yes, I know... this is an insinuation that I am anti-CHN... Even though I'm of Chinese descent myself... :rolleyes: but hey, it is better for me to see ASEAN players win.... vested interest in my home-region...


Denmark vs INA how?:D

That's exactly the case in KO's MD SF: Lars-Jonas vs. Luluk-Alvent... :D


Aiyo..I didn't think of this..Then may the best player win..:D:p

Very diplomatic, Jess... ;) I won't know who to support if I watch MAS vs. DEN... :p

[Louisa]

I think it has been proven in past BC forum postings that when there are MAS players playing in the finals or semifinals, the forum will be flooded by MAS-fans posts... If there are no MAS players in these final rounds, then the forum will be more quiet and less lively... :p These are the facts. I just said I can understand if the enthusiasm drop after the particular badminton heroes are not playing. Very natural.
Well, u r right.......aren't u?:D


By the way, don't get me wrong, I actually enjoy MAS-fans... They're fun. :)
All bcers r fun:p


If that makes me not a true lover of badminton for you. I can accept that... ;)
U r a true INA badminton lover...;)



I don't deny that I like INA badminton a lot more than non-INA matches... :D I'm heavily biased towards INA. That is the fact. :p Ha ha...
no problem at all........;)

I don't mind anyone supports his/her favorite players against players from another country. That doesn't make him/her anti-another country. Bashing the player(s) from the country you don't support is what made you anti-Chn or anti-another country :eek:

Also I took up the issue with you early in the thread that you seemed enjoyed the fact that SSM and Sony had won medals at OG, while LD didn't. But, denying the facts that LD won many more times SS titles than those two combined since OG 04 is not going to help your weak favorite players and will only make me proud of LD for his achievements since OG 04 :cool:

So please face the facts and be honest with yourself in supporting your players, bashing others will not make your favorite players any stronger on court or in the eyes of other BCers, who prefer facts, reasoning, and civilized manner :rolleyes:

[Krisna]

... you seemed enjoyed the fact that SSM and Sony had won medals at OG, while LD didn't.

Are the facts not true? What's wrong with pointing out that fact?

C'mon I never deny that LD won many more SS titles than Sony and SSM. How can I deny such obvious facts. :eek: I'm very aware that Sony never won any of the SS in his life...:p let alone since the 2004 Olympic games... :p

I agree completely with what you said. Thus, I don't bash LD. But I just pointed out facts. If the particular facts happen to be unfavorable for LD [such as the fact that he never won any Olympic medals], you have to accept the facts, dude. Be honest with yourself that those are mere facts. That's not bashing. ;)

Somebody else, I forgot whom, said that LD won many SS medals. I then wrote that they don't fight to win medals in SS. Nobody counts gold medals, silver medals, bronze medals in SS tournaments. It's wierd to talk about medal collection in SS tournaments. :cool: Pro-badminton tournaments are similar in many ways with pro-tennis tournaments in the sense that nobody said that Roger Federer won the "Wimbledon gold-medal" It's absurd to say it.

Medals are important in Olympic Games, Asian Games, SEA Games, etc. mostly in multi-sport events... Anyway, I think that guy was just new to the badminton professional tour. Later on he will learn.

The facts you slept on was the history. Try not put your head in the sand since you have so much knowledge in badminton SS and whether it offers medals or titles. Pardon me for being a beginner playing and newbie in the forum. But that only shows how arrogant one can be :eek:

More importantly, you are anti-CHN as you said yourself. Next time support your favorite players and stop degrading others :cool:

Oh yes I prefer INA and ASEAN players to win rather than CHN. But I don't degrade others countries' players. ;) :cool: If they happen to loose or happen to not able to win something. Those are factual statements, not deragotary statements. What's wrong with saying things like: Lin Dan never won the Indonesian Open. So what's wrong with statements like that. ;) I also won't mind if somebody wrote that Maria Kristin never won the China Open. Fair enough. Because it is so so true.

I don't mind anyone supporting anyone, just don't like to see the negativity in the discussion. That's all, and thanks being understandable :rolleyes:

gentlemen.... stop fighting now...

[Krisna]

Ok, Kwun... I think Birdwood and I just had a little misunderstanding.

[cooler]

No, i see it this way.
gao ling is a veteran hunter hunting killer bunnies with her rookie hunter-in-training ting ting. If not careful, the smart killer bunnies can devise a plan (like circling back) to fool the rookie ting ting to shoot all over (like what dick cheny did to his hunting partner), endangering gao ling. If gao ling is injured, game over, killer bunnies win.it almost happened
