Koo Kean Keat & Tan Boon Heong - Going Downhill?

**davlee** · 11-26-2012, 01:48 AM

I think this is a never ending argument... It is very clear whether in this thread, this forum or other forums, there are basically two groups of ppl. One is those who think that KKK/TBH should have been better, should have been the world no.1 and did not performed to their best... another group is very supportive of them, satisfied with their recent semi finals/finals achievements..

So.. it is just not going to end... why not we just respect one another's opinion on them. Different ppl have different expectation, some higher, some lower. I for one thinks that they should have done better and not waste their chances. They already wasted few years after they first going downhill due to miscommunication between them. If you watch them play, you can see that they can play much better if they talk more on court, encourage each other more. But once they get slightly pissed with the poor performance of their partner, the game is gone case...

Maybe they can change their playground to lower ranked tournament, i.e. GP or even IC, see whether they can win or not.

If do not want people critise / demanding, dont become badminton player in Malaysia. Can choose other sports like Lawn Ball, Snooker, guli etc where less focus from people in Malaysia. Win or lost nobody will care and less stress also.

I have been so long didnt watch this pair play. Cannot tahan everytime have to throw my cup to my Samsung LED TV while watching their face and their so-called creative, entertaining and skillful type of play style.

They are very lucky. Born in Malaysia, play for Malaysia. As a Bolehland, we give chances and chances, especially for badminton shuttlers. And also not to forget, excuse and excuse.

Lets hope they can win another 1 or 2 SS titles before their retirement. This is more realistic.

This pair have more than enough chances being given to hope that they can rise again.

Oh, a cup of nescafe is much more cheaper than a remote control to be replaced.

Finally i realise that TV is much much expensive than the cup and the remote. So, i quit watching them play to save my money on replacing my cup, my nescafe and my TV.

I think what we will see is a pattern of semifinal/final and possibly SS wins short term as other pairings from other countries settle down and develop. Later, the other countries pairs will catch up an overtake TBH/KKK.

They already commit if cannot make it to WC2013 final will split. So give them chance make some more money before too old. Right now better look at what they can improve. I think you guys have a lot suggestions. I think they have courage enough to commit this unless WC2013 no top player playing.

Correct, Correct, esp if paper cup

**concretemad** · 11-26-2012, 07:29 AM

the best, fast and easiest way to get result is to ask bwf to score differently, a point for a save between the legs, 2 points for hitting from behind the body, 5 points for winning a rally from defense. and ya....15 points if making a over head cross court drop at the net.

You must be concrete mad

**Pakito** · 11-26-2012, 07:59 AM

The problem with KKK is he depends too much on fancy play. You can clearly see that after winning a point with a fancy stroke, he pumps up his fist, and then for the rest of game, he thinks that he has won it, just because of that fancy point. That is why it's win one point, lose a few more points, win one point, lose bloody few more.

**Pakito** · 11-26-2012, 08:13 AM

I reckoned that this kind of frustration outpouring from majority here is also because TBH's a freaking torpedo with his smashes and just because KKK wants to show off and be a hero, TBH is sacrificed. I mean, if you want to be a hero and be responsible for all your own consequences, go and play singles. When you play doubles, you have a responsibility and you owe it to your partner also, not only yourself. If you want to throw away the game, go play singles. And for those are easily contented this type of wasteful and unprofessional attitude, go to a kindergarten badminton forum. There's it's politically and ethically correct to give them a chance and a pat on the back even though their play is horrendous, because they're in kindergarten. Back over here, it's the SS. If I were LCW, I'd give his best man a kick in the butt. It's for his own good, believe me.

Furthermore, FHF/CY was not even at the 90% form, 80% to be lenient. And our boys couldn't manage to take a game off them. KKK has to kick off this habit of thinking winning a point with a fancy play and thinks that he has won the game! It's not a one point game!
