LD was having flu during KO (according to commentators during KO broadcasting, I cannot prove anyway

). If this is true, he must be suffering blocking noses during the matches. The umpire did not allow him to stop so frequently to wipe nicely during the competition. What should he do? Having nose blocking to loss if not death? Or WO? (therefore I agree what you said, it might be LD's germs caused LCW the match, LCW should consider to appeal on this basis...

)

I m sure his sponsors would also don't like see his nose-blowing in front of the camera, neither did LD himself as this would be undesirable to his commercial advertising image! LD must be losing money therefore...

Yes, Lin Dan had a cold and he was damn smart about it

I don't think the umpire would allow him too many time off for that

As a matter of fact the umpire didn't mind either,

those sticky yellowish slimery leftover by Lin Dan on the floor

What about some of his fans? I don't hear complain so I suppose they love it

Even certain well informed INA fans are not spared.

.

So surprised that BadmintonCentral is now known as BolehCentral.

Is this criticising BadmintonCentral or what?

between the 2 players, i think lin dan has got more grace and class than lcw. i always hate to see lcw going up to his opponent to shake their hands after he had won the game and trying to show some empathy - how hypocritical! this time when lin dan won, he simply shied away almost immediately without any grace and class - i guess he was in a state of shock and disbelief with himself and can't muster enough courage to congratulate lin dan properly after the game.

i strongly believe lcw really thought he can beat lin dan this time and was even cocky during some exchanges in the match but time and time again, lin dan has proven that lcw is still second best to him in the world. with this victory, even the most ardent lcw fan or lin dan hater would have to admit that lin dan is simply the greatest player ever to walk this earth.

Kindly refer to 3rd game 11 pts interval... LCW asked for a change of shuttle but LD refused, and right before LD serves, LD apologized. Isn't this more hypocritical? and btw LD changed shuttle after that point. Also, there is reason why LCW won't apologize to LD every time he got a lucky shot, because he is quite fed up with LD hypocritical behavior. LCW did apologize to other players when he got lucky. He is not cocky.

IMHO, both LD and LCW are not cocky. Only opposite fans of their idols are bashing each other here, at BadmintonCentral.

In the star 6th feb "I won the 100th edition of the All-England last year and it is ....."(LCW). the '100th'.(the mother of all All-Englands).

LCW has now changed his court behavior when playing against LD. He is trying to use more mind games to rattle and antagonize LD, as shown in the Asian Games and the Korean SS. This even extends outside the court as shown by the unfriendly comments from LCW, with some support from his good friend TH, about LD missing the Malaysian SS. This is perfectly acceptable. However, it is unfortunate it does not work against LD.
Perhaps, LCW may want to do something more unpredictable to give him an edge over LD. MS is a past master in this and he may want to come up with something that will really rattle LD the next time.

In this case, Li Mao is the best so far. I think LM alone can rattle both LD+LYB anytime.

Or could it be TH and LCW simply speak their minds out about the fact that LD w/o in certain tournaments and did not cunningly twist their words. It goes the same on LCW so called unfriendly comments. It could be you (us BCers) that read too much on it.

There are other players in the circuit who did not voice the LCW/TH 'orchestrated' comments about LD. Apparently, the fact that it was a Malaysian doctor who examined LD did not prevent comments from LCW/TH. Maybe, they jumped the gun with their comments before bothering to find out who gave LD the clearance to not play based on medical grounds.

it was so obvious dat super dan was having a flu.
a few times u can see him blowing his nose.
and juz bcos he is super dan doesn't mean he is superman.
sometimes he succumb to sickness and injuries too.

**taneepak** · 02-08-2011, 03:43 AM

It is one thing to employ 'mind' games during a match, which is part of the overall game plan of a game and therefore acceptable, but it is not nice to do it outside the court. Using the press to express their comments and then having the cheek to suggest to the BWF to investigate LD's withdrawal is hitting below the belt. It is tasteless.

on the same note, how many times you've seen LCW gave the aggressive/dirty looks after a netcord or a hard fought long rally? many many times as i remember, obviously tried to boost himself and intimidating his opponents at the same time. that obviuosly didnt work, LD seen through them as in one of his interviews on the other thread. i think that actually backfired as that signalling to the other guy that you're nervous/scare.

**maximR** · 02-08-2011, 05:36 AM

You know , taneepak is true , LCW changed after the 2008 OG . He was blown away by LD , and I can say it was a traumatizing event for him . On that day , all LD wanted was to win , after each point he shouts, to intimidate LCW . Even when he plays a net cord or hit's on LCW body , he doesn't apologize .

What do you think you'll do when you get rattled so many times : After the 0G , AE '09 , TC '10 . He is mentally intimidated when it comes to LD , you know .

Therefore , in one interview I saw , MS already asked LCW to change his style , to not respect your opponent . MS says LCW respected his opponents too much that lead to his downfall.

Alas , you can see how LCW reacts everytime he wins a long rally or drives the shuttle to LD's body .

The plot thickens. Now its assumed that 2 great players orchestrated their comments on LD! Why not on PG? Its because PG is well known for his sportsmanship.

You are right on this. In fact he blew his nose countless times at all tourney.

MS says LCW respected his opponents too much that lead to his downfall. This I agree.

During a match, it's fight, fight, fight. After the match, it should be peace, peace, peace.

Yeah, superdan was saying ," look, I can even take out the WR1 while fighting the flu as well". What a champion!
