so how are they gambling? are they gambling on their own games, that they can profit from their win or loss?
After reading these news, my questions are: -Why did it take that long for coaches to opened up about players' discipline What specifically are they hiding / or trying to protect before? -Is it only the pair - KKK/TBH - that have this serious problem? Not trying to be naive here, other players are not that innocent, but I just couldn't come up with other pairs / players that have the luxury to 'gamble' away their money based on their ranking, performance, win ratio or whatnot which influence their tournaments' monetary gain and salary from BAM. Unless my fellow Malaysians know about other elite players that have the same problem?
i'd guess there has always been this problem since this pair let their fame get to their heads since their incredible debut in 2007... things gradually slid from there, but it wasn't bad enough yet so this problem was overlooked even though it was known in certain circles but now, with this nastily poor performance and the team failing to make the sudirman qf's, heads will need to roll
I have respect for Ng chin chai... Very few Malaysian leader has the balls to admit own failures... Ng might has fail in badminton but he succeed as a man
1) Rexy knew, brought it up with BAM. Rexy wanted to take action to discipline them. BAM didnt do anything concrete 2) There were others, but as far as I know those 'others' already left BAM. Those remaining, like you said, dont have that kind of $$$ to go clubbing or gambling on regular basis
BAM have only themselves to blame - Park Joo Bong gone, Morton Frost gone, Rexy gone, the late Indra gone - these great coaches all had to leave. <shrug shoulders> the common factor is that they worked in BAM.
Doubt BAM can do anything during the players free time unless they can hire a private eye. Its all happening in every sports everywhere only a question of how far they go. Guess this time for ah koo and ah tan its just too bad too far and there goes my hope seeing them crowned a wc champion
WHAT just happened? Nothing right? Look at our chief coach, rashid sidek's reaction in the video below [video=youtube;_cEMTxlXAV8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cEMTxlXAV8[/video]
Thanks for those who answered my questions So I guess it took a humiliating group exit to make BAM address this serious, ongoing 'hush-hush' problem. IF MAS team did reach Sudirman Cup QF or SF (SF was BAM's target, yes?) this indiscipline would be ignored like before huh? What a shame. Whatever step that BAM going to take next, I hope they would be sincere enough about it to tackle the problem. I look forward to Thai GPG next month and I hope for the best for MAS second tier players.
Bam just do not have the guts to field young pairs/ players and expose more of them in international tournament. Why still rely on koo/tan in the 1st match against taiwan? Gotta agree with Rajes Paul's recent comment at thestar. What will happen if malaysia field chong wei feng or liew darren? Will we be able to get a point from singles? Just look at Indonesia for example, in yesterday's crucial tie, they DARE to field their young pair angga and rian to play against OLYMPIC champion, cai and fu..imo, this is a good decision by INA and not do they settle a point for indonesia, they also gain a good experience for them.. I'm sure BAM knows the players attitude and lifestyle which is against an athlete's schedule. But why are they still not taking action and still giving them chance? Is BAM scare of the players??? What's next for BAM? I'm sure they will be relying HEAVILY on LCW's shoulders after this for the WC to cover up their a**. KoO/TAN for final?? Forget about it. IMO, i don't really know whether they can even clear the 1st or 2nd round hurdle.. BAM needs a major transformation! Let ONE person oversee the whole coaching system. CHINA- LI YONG BO INDONESIA - REXY MAINAKY MALAYSIA- Who's next? or still remain the same person?
Yup, Coach Rashid was smiling during the interview, but it was a sheepish, embarrassed, 'this is humiliating, we just lost, oh man...' kind of smile Well, in a way, I for one, sad but glad that our team lost because BAM certainly need a good, solid kick in the butt to take real, drastic action.
In Msia, management team is above coaching team. That's why so many good coaches left. The management want to implement things that not what the coaches think the players need. Real kick in the butt? I think politics play a role too...
You are certainly near to perfect100% correct! Remember the MS case? So called sports science people who knew practically nothing about baddy keeps asking for reports whenever players lost in tournament including LCW This will give you an idea of what's going on inside
well,poor result is unpreventable,no? this is how when those who dont know badminton(laywer,businessman) take control of sport. they always talk about greater revenue(nadzmi) and healthier account(ng chin cai) hello,this is sport,we talk about how many major titles and others achievement. if u want to talk about financial,go and lead a business company or join real politic dont play in bam. let see what will khairy do.
It's a shame politicking would always be in sports... What happened to that MAS badminton need for Supremo? Shelved for good huh?
I think somebody will put somebody in nazmi seat this july i dont even know his name but fat chance anything much is going to change. NCC maybe a gentleman at the end of the day to vacant his seat in the coaching and training committee. at least he still say when i left, CW was still world no.1 This new president i doubt will be a baddy guy but i dream he can do a total clean up starting the state level where most of the president and committee are covered with spider webs sitting too long doing too little but still talking a lot... These are expired people that needs to go ... Next, i dream he can wrestle with the ministry of education to forego their involvement with sports. Their so called fukit jalil sports training school and their nation wide talents scouting program are real joke. Training donkeys to run while those horses are left running around. And some of this has been blown up in nst recently whereby a dato son from down under was enrolled in fukit jalil ss also, another one of this ministry prestasi tinggi ... something program, wasting tax payers money getting teachers with majority of them non badminton player taking up coaching course and hijack good and talented players all over the state into this program. Naturally it was a big big flop ... there goes my money Not forget to mention the isn involvement so called sports science people science my head This clean up even in my dreams are so long to write and i am running out of battery so i will just keep on dreaming
