Well, your sources are very outdated and nonsense then. In this neutral's opinion.

I think he's just messed up in his mind by all that's happened to him recently. If you ask me, that's a good sign.
Also, wouldn't be surprised if XXF has something to do with this: like maybe giving him a bit of straight talking on things like character and integrity.
Of course, I could be wrong as well....

Rory played in KL immediately after his melt-down at the Masters and he gave no excuses for not winning. He said it was good for character-building.
Someone has just been knocked out in day 3 of the Indonesian Open and I hope that he would not say it was the lingering effect of his recent 'illness'.

Lin Dan said after the match that he still feels upset stomach he suffered in last week's Singapore Open SS.

Lin pleaded not perform optimally because he still feels upset stomach he suffered in last week's Singapore Open Superseries. He denied intentionally gave victory to Sasaki or told by coach to budge. "I did not look up," said Lin Dan.

"I did not look up," said Lin Dan.

What exactly is that supposed to mean?

**eaglehelang** · 06-23-2011, 12:28 PM

"Saya memang tidak tampil maksimal," kata Lin Dan.
I did not show/give maximum performance

***cobalt*** · 06-23-2011, 12:31 PM

Ah! Thanks for the clarification, Helang!

True. Your statement is very sensible looking by the fact that China players need to participate in SEA's SS to merely gain points for OG2012.

So what you had just stated built a solid basis that last week's walkover was indeed staged and LD's lost to KT was another planned agenda so that they can help certain players to gain point and qualify!

You have proven the conspiracy theory by some forumers right.

Thank you.

..notice the word "team" in there?..that's the difference between say Tiger Woods and LD and the CHN team..Individual vs. "team" sport..
Further, we all know that this is an 2012 OG qualifying period and just like in the recent article posted after his S'pore Open WO, LD mentioned something to the effect of "he's prioritizing his team/country"..Whatever he meant by that we probably know LYB would want to secure at least 3 of his MS players in the top 4 ranking by the end of April next yr.
So, if we get that & that's really what's going on, i'm surprised i still see people making the same old comments and blame LD for what's going on??..

If Lin dance is not the one to be blame, then who should we blame?

Li Yong bo?

CBA ?

China government?

China citizen ?

Or Chinese ?

**Yoppy** · 06-23-2011, 09:31 PM

Today Sho Sasaki will meet CJ in the QF, that explains about why LD played like my neighbour yesterday. The whole thing is just to avoid LD having to call WO (second in a row) againts the same opponent which will draw too much spot light.

I dont know if we will ever get the truth out of LD's mouth after he retired, cos I really want to know how he feels about the this team order. Maybe he's alright with it, but maybe he's as much upset as the rest of us and could not do a thing about it.

If I have to point to a single thing, that would be LYB who I assume is the brain behind the murder

Hauge has reported several times over the last couple of years that the players don't like the team order/walkover thingie but have to toe the corporation line. I'm sure deep inside LD must be fuming.

What is this guy, LD, trying to say? To defame my country and perpetuate Singapore as a food poisoning capital?
