Mathias Boe & Carsten Mogensen

[**KZ**]

I have seen BoMo play, and i agree they are very frustrating to watch. They do a lot of dirty tricks.

I think many of the Danes do those tricks. In the women's doubles SF, Pederson was holding her serve for like 7 seconds before serving.

I didn't see Bo's comment though, what was his comment to the umpire?

i wouldn't say most danes use these dirty tactics...actually i think Boe's the more obnoxious of the two...Mogensen usually keeps his calm...he's more quiet...a lot of players do the staring at opponents thing...but I wouldn't say christina pedersen employs these dirty tactics as well, there is really no rule stating that you can't hold your serve

[Jagdpanther]

"Dirty tactic" is still "tactic", no matter how "dirty" it is.

yes...I would say the chinese dirty tactics of conceding walkovers dirtier than delaying serve

He said "Am I not playing fast enough for you"

Ah yes but does this mean you have to use these types of tactics? Players have a choice on how they play.

He said "Am I not playing fast enough for you"

That was insolent Terrible attitude I must say
He was really lucky to get away without a yellow card.

I really don't like this pair especially Boe and his attitude on court. I hope that when the other pairs get over their injury problems they can come back and kick their butts!

[zhuangcorp]

I had a lot of respect for Bo/Mo seeing their dramatic run into the finals of the Olympics. But since then...I have grown very irritated by their frequent antics on the court. Actually, Moe is very quiet and polite on the court. Its really Boe that is annoying.

I dont like how long he takes to serve. If he's not ready to serve, he shouldn't put his racket into the serving position. But he makes the serving position as if he's about to serve, then waits 7 seconds to actually hit the shuttle. It really throws off the competition, and i think BWF should shut down this tactic.

His comment to the umpire is very obnoxious, and sometimes the way he passes the shuttle back to the opponent is very rude.

[phili]

Did no one of you hear Boe shouting "shut up" towards Hong Wei/Shen Ye after they tried to influence the line judge by shouting? It was kind of right to tell them to stop with this but not really his job. Seems like the umpires are getting rather passive in these days.

Bo/ Mo excluded from danish national training center??? (source: badzine germany)

[MonkeyMadness]

Why is this pair so hard to like? As a european i should want them to win but i find myself wanting them to lose. I used to like the old danish pairs and i like the new ones - there is just something about them.

Yes the first sign of it was from their facebook post:

"Mathias Boe and Carsten Mogensen

March 1
Last practice before All England, and maybe last practice ever at the national center, is done. ..."

But it is not just them it now has been revealed. Also Fischer, Pedersen and Juhl. They have been offered to play in the Indian badminton league, for good money I'm sure, but it is being held before the World Championships and conflicts with the carefully designed training program the federation have set up for that period in preparation for the WC. As possible consequence of playing anyway the federation have "mentioned" leaving them out of the Sudirman Cup squad and individual World Championship ...

Imho they are sore losers and grating winners.

Sure, it's understandable that they're intense on-court, and understandable they feel like being be outnumbered by all the Asians at the top of their field... but that still doesn't excuse them from having that attitude.

[ein_roboter]

I can be short: I completely agree with visor and MonkeyMadness. They used to be one of my favorite doubles players to watch, but now I can't even be bothered. Their behaviour is absolutely appalling.

[**KZ**]

actually i've never seen mogensen showing any form of like aggression towards opponents...but boe...i have to agree he is sometimes a bit rude...

[MonkeyMadness]

I think mogensen does show aggression mainly after winning a point he tends to stare and generally try to unnerve his opponents. Its just next to boe it looks fairly tame.
