this site is slowing down too... :)

[andymcg]

I'm just looking at the time bit at the bottom of the scoring. I can't believe the match has been going on for nearly 4 hours already!

[Mag]

What do you mean "still frames"?

Are you watching an on-line broadcast? If so, what's the address?

[Manuel]

Where can you see the online scoring?

Is there anyone out there that has managed to video this match and might be willing to send me a copy? I thought I'd get my request in now!!!

[kwun]

ok all of you. get off CCTV-2. i want to watch the financial news. :D

[Ricky]

:( :( :(

[kwun]

anyway. it was a very exciting semi-final indeed. thanks all for coming.

i think LYB's gamble on the youngster failed him this time. Lin Dan was probably the correct choice, but Bao was nervous and fell apart at crucial moments. on the other side, Hafiz was well composed even when trailing, gained his composure and won back the game. i think the 2nd singles is the key, and Hafiz got his job done.

Zhang/Chen was very close to unseating Choong/Lee. i believe Park already guessed that China will be using the same strategy, weak 1st doubles, strong 2nd. so Park kept the original pairings and that came through. there were a couple of occasions when Zhang/Chen mis-coordinated. a result of the scratch pairing.

[Mag]

I just can't believe you kept CCTV-2 to yourself until the match was nearly over. It's not like it's password protected or anything... I've been sitting here cursing that #?%&* live-scoring site... and hitting the "reload" button to refresh this thread... and then there's a functioning live video stream! I got there just in time to see the last 3 rallies.

Isn't sharing information like this exactly what BC is about?!

I'm sorry, but I just can't pretend I'm not disappointed.

[andymcg]

I sat on the live scoring site, clicking on the reload button every 10 seconds as I kept losing my connection. I also kept my other browser window on the 'game 4' message thread and managed to miss the thread about the live streaming completely!! Arrggghhhh!
:rolleyes:

[Adel]

I hope I don't offend any Malaysian supporter but thank God Choong/Lee pulled thru this time. I mean, there have been instances of them screwing up at the crucial moment and I was wondering if they were gonna fumble again. Anyway, congrats to my neighbors up north... =)

Wah, all that staying up and blisters were worth it man!

Now time to finish up my essay - if I dun complete it, I'll juz skip class. =P

[kwun]

sorry Mag. my conscience and my selfishness was battling inside me for quite a while already. and whenl UKP asked, i just couldn't hold it anymore.

but yes, my bad. :(

the connection was bad though. even before you guys came in..

[Nic]

Chill out, mates. :)

[Mag]

Yes, of course Nic is right. I for one am going to chill and take a long break from this forum. I've been spending too much time here lately.

See you around.
