TC/UC 2008 - May 13 - Playoffs- Day 3

[shuzzack]

GO GO Canada~~~~

[mybdmworld]

No.. Don't ever dream about it.. Fielding a ROJAK line-up is 100% not an option by MAS team.

Oh ya, I do remember one term in Bahasa Indonesia, "GADO-GADO".

Of course I am sure, Yap Kim Hock will never think about this. It is not an option.

This is a prestigious tournament, don't do this for your country honour.

[AlanY]

This is interesting, we have just developed a new term in badminton. "Korean style" is an appropriate term we can use from now to describe such a situation mentioned above, i.e. mixing unsuitable players or throwing a match... very shameful in the world badminton.... not sportive at all....
dare i say that, the CJ/LD final in AE2008 (etc etc), the Chinese Style!

[eaglehelang]

you can if you mix the MAL MS & MD a bit, Korean style.

he he, from past record, when Msia field stratch pairs comprising of good players, they won cos opponent not familiar with their style -> KKK/TBH were stratch pair.
MS playing MD also no prob. Young Arif still plays MD, WCH played MD bf in 2006 (and won).

[mybdmworld]

The afternoon session is now started...

I will not be online for a couple of hour. Just wishing the best of luck for all Uber Cup team of Germany. They will easily move to make one of the QF matches tomorrow all European clash. Come on Germany.....

[shuzzack]

PSH is sailing away~

[samuel882]

Park SH playing Single for the 1st time ever in JKT... He shld be graceful cos finally get the chance to play in his pet event here hehe...

[robin7]

Did u guys see the Nigerian player playing on the other court? Negro is black outfit...haha...

[luyi80]

Since I don't have the Astro replay time, then I'll opt for TransTV which will show only the highlights. :):):)
Some time after 10pm or 11pm, after the match of CAN vs KOR.

[robin7]

Andrew Dabeka's playing style is quite similar to Kenneth Jonassen's.

[markchan]

ENG can afford to field "korean style" against NIGERIA...hehe. ASmith rested.

[sjoe]

Did u guys see the Nigerian player playing on the other court? Negro is black outfit...haha...

Dear Robin7,
May I ask you not to use N word. I notice you also use the word "Tomboy", may be you don't realize that those two words is offensive.
Also to other who call some name "Butet" is not very nice nick name.

[markchan]

Some time after 10pm or 11pm, after the match of CAN vs KOR.

At the way things are going , no need to wait so long, the overall match could be over in 2 hours. :o

[robin7]

IMHO,NEGRO is not offensive at all and neither is TOMBOY. (I didn't say BLACK, did I?)

Otherwise, how do u describe those who have black complexion that came from Nigeria? Nigerians are not necessarily negro, are they?

[luyi80]

At the way things are going , no need to wait so long, the overall match could be over in 2 hours. :o
Haha..........I know, but I hope they drag a bit long so that I'm on time to watch the replay. Still in the office now! :o

[luyi80]

Our fellow BCer, smashie54 is on court now........vs HK MKY, come on, let's cheer for her!!!

I didn't mean to insult or offend, Nigeria's flag reminds me of some kind of "kuih" (Malaysian cake). But I can't remember the name... :D

You do mean insult ! especially after you use that N word and now make fun of someone flag ! for the same country !

In USA, Negro = offensive racist term. Black is much more appropriate, or if you want to be Politically Correct, use "Africans".

:D I'd like to see you call someone "Negro" in East-LA or somewhere in the south of USA and report back whether it is offensive or not ;).

Other than that your sentence makes no sense "Negro is black outfit" :confused:

[Weily]

Also to other who call some name "Butet" is not very nice nick name.

Sjoe, "Butet" is the surname of a player. Tomboy is not considered offensive (and I'm female, I dont find it offensive), there more offensive words to describe it.

[samuel882]

Negro is certainly an offensive words

[Tjun Tjun]

Some time after 10pm or 11pm, after the match of CAN vs KOR.

Good man! Now I'm looking forward to see the matches....how our gals beat the Japanese.....is this the 1st time we beat the Japanese in a team event? :):):)

[robin7]

Thanks. Okay, Africans... :)

Typo error. I meant "Negro in black outfit". Oops, "African in black outfit".

[stork]

negro translated means just black :cool:

you mean "African in african outfit"? :D

[sjoe]

Sjoe, "Butet" is the surname of a player. Tomboy is not considered offensive (and I'm female, I dont find it offensive), there more offensive words to describe it.

Sorry the "Butet" in the case of the nick name of this player is surname and is not nice.
You are not offended if someone call you "Tomboy" ? I give you a example. You meet Robin7 and call him "hi Sissy" (or "Pondan"or "Banci") how do you thing that he will react ?

You already said it yourself that it is the nickname of said player. If she's fine with it, why should it be an issue?

[sophiaJ]

just stop it...
it's out of topic already lah..
chill...

[robin7]

Guys, let's get back to the matches again before our posts get deleted.

LYD/JJS are just playing their first match together as a pair in this TC.

Looks like they are not "warmed" up yet as the Canadians are giving them some problems.

[vching]

Negro is a term referring to people of Black African (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_African) ancestry. Prior to the shift in the lexicon of American and worldwide classification of race and ethnicity in the late 1960s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1960), the appellation was accepted as a normal neutral formal term both by those of African descent as well as non-African blacks. Now it is often considered an ethnic slur (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_slur)

Well, they're zooming way ahead in 2nd set, up 16-9.

[Jessica]

Hehe..I watch this match for the sake of LYD..

[sophiaJ]

ya...he's cute...XOXO
he + hong ji hoon = handsome MD team

what badadum saying is right...

sjoe...u can find it from the link...at 04.40...Lilyana Natsir explains why she called as Butet...and she`s fine with the name....

[vching]

Why I don't like Yong Dae:

Everytime I bring up badminton with my friends who are girls, they squeal and go YOOOOOOONG DAEEE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUUUUUTE!!!!!!!!! and subsequently do the anime faint. Hence, I always stay away from the topic of badminton ;)

[eaglehelang]

Tomboy is the least offensive, I've heard worst than that - and no, I'm not offended if someone called me tomboy = to some it means the girl is 'manly' enuf to be considered equal to a male.
It's definetely not considered as offensive as "sissy" or "pondon" cos it just means a girl who dress up/behaves like a guy. "Sissy" or "pondan" would imply the male is transexual or homosexual, tomboy doesnt denote the female is overly macho.

There are worse nick names, some call Zakry/Fairuz = the "dwarfs", CEH is nicknamed "fatty bum bum"

But I digress, since some would consider it offensive, I'll try to avoid 'tomboy'

[vching]

anyway, back to the games...

badminton can gain popularity thru it...
(maybe some disagree lah)
yong dae is not just good looking r....he can plays well too...

[luyi80]

Good man! Now I'm looking forward to see the matches....how our gals beat the Japanese.....is this the 1st time we beat the Japanese in a team event? :):):)
I think so........also can't wait to c the replay.....:D:D:D I'd get my junkfood and 'beer' ready!:cool:

[robin7]

Can anyone tell me the name of the Astro commentator? His English pronunciations suck and make me sick. He seems to have difficulty in pronouncing Dae, game, third, 13, 30 & etc....

[shyeling]

i never see him before..

[Jessica]

Wow..Nigeria manage to steal a set from England Ben Beckman,,

[vching]

Yes, I cannot deny that. Yong Dae is very good. He was a prodigy...

He has what I now call the 'Yong Dae factor', being able to raise the standard of the partnership significantly no matter who he is partnered with.

But it'll be good to discuss this once in a while with friends who are girls without them fainting at the mere mention of his name:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

[robin7]

He must have thought that "lad" is an abbreviation of "lady"... :o

Those who can't sleep at nite can listen to his commentary. zZZZZz

[vching]

Ha ha..:D:D.Very funny.We should not forget his talent in badminton beside his cuteness..:rolleyes::p

Yalah... His 'beauty', such as it is, sometimes distracts people from his badminton skills. He is one of the, if not the best doubles players in the world today.

[vching]

but still feel the chart is weird....haha...

Yaloh.... the chart is more like TOP 100 PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE MOST CRAZY FANS... Who would believe you if you said George Bush, who can destroy the world 12 times over in a 15 minute notice is less influential than Rain or Shigeru?

[vching]

Actually KKK not quite good looking but he is cool..Sometimes i tend to feel he face is very fierce,quite scary..:rolleyes::o

This reminds me of the who is 'more attractive': good boys, bad boys, pretty boys or cool boys thread in the Macau Open.

I had a good laugh remembering it! :D:D:D

[Shiryu]

Hehe. and pull their jersey over their heads, they won't stand a chance.

I say don't blame the players, blame the coaching staff for their tactics.


We Canadians can do all fans a big favour by beating up on the Koreans for you. I don't mean in badminton... they'll kill us. I mean a good old-fashioned NHL style beating. We'll try to beat some sportsmanship into them.:D:D:D;););) How about that.

[mmooww]

yeah~~ Msia women enter quarter...!!!! 3-0, what a nice job they hv done!!

[zqloy]

yeah~~ Msia women enter quarter...!!!! 3-0, what a nice job they hv done!!

Our girls shown some good fighting spirit, esp Julia clawed all the way to the win :)

[madbad]

Looks like the afternoon crowd was a little bored. Not much talk about the matches themselves. Sad, but not unexpected, to see Canada going down to KOR. No contest really. I hope the taste of this level of competition will trigger a move towards a better standard of badminton for our country.

[Phydhel]

"That....was....a.... excellent shot..... it.....surprised....me....& mew choo...." zzzzzzzzzzzzz :p


HAHAHAHAHA you remembered that too!! I was like, "Thats so corny!"

Limsy, Lydia Cheah is 176 cm NOT Julia Wong

sorry...i cant correct it again because yesterday my internet having problem...sorry...=="""

[limsy]

I know you like Julia but the last time I checked, I don't think you're allowed to field a player for 2 WS matches ;);)
PLUS, you can't have a lower ranked pair play WD1, so your plan cannot work

sorry madbad...and sorry for lydia...i mean lydia...i just manage to connect with server now...so yesterday after i post it...my network been disconnect...T.T...cant correct it...sorry...i think scratch pair doesnt needed to base on ranking right???...

lol...hmm...ok...:D

[badMania]

Denmark is quite brave to:
1. leave out Kenneth Jonassen and let Peter Gade plays as MS1 against Park Sung Hwan.
2. leave out Jens Eriksen/Martin Lundgaard Hansen and let Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen play as MD2 against Lee Jae Jin/Hwang Ji Man.
3. plays Jan O Jorgensen against Shon Sheung Mo.

I think Korea will win it 3-1 or 3-2.

[jason_tiger]

To have any chance to beat Korea, Peter must claim the 1st point. I personnally think Kenneth might be a better choice due to fitness of Pete. Also, by forming this line-up, most likely Den will loss 2nd & 3rd single.
Den 2nd double is fast and agrresive, might be a better choice though.
I think Denmark is putting their bet on 1st single & two doubles.
