Do not write them off just yet. If Jung/Lee fails to win the London gold, this is the pair we should watch in the final. They are capable of winning big titles especially in Europe. Another obstacle for Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng
I agree that this is another pair that is able to match CY/FHF in London OG 2012, however their match would not be as attractive as CY/FHF vs LYD/JJS....
They are the dirtiest and foul pair on the planet; but they are capable and good enough to win. Gotta admit.
Haha, their game delay skills is an absolute cracker. However, i am still hoping that MB/CM will have to fight KSY/YYS for the Bronze & CY/FHF vs LYD/JJS for the Gold, since these two pair will soon be out of the scene...
Just watched the semis match against the Chinese pair and I have to say what bad sportsman Bo - Mo are. Deliberating laughing out loud when the Chinese pair made a mistake! What is their problem? Is this the only way they can win by trying to wind up the opposition. The umpire should stop this and Bo's comment to the umpire at the end of the match was not given a yellow card. This behaviour is disgraceful and tarnishing the game. One of the commentators said they were trying to get the psychological edge but their behaviour was not sporting at all. Mo standing glaring over the net at every winner was quite funny and something you would see in a school playground. Ridiculus. The game will be better when they go. It's a shame as they are good players and very tactically aware.
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
Ah yes but does this mean you have to use these types of tactics? Players have a choice on how they play.
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!
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.
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.

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.
