don't be a wet towel. this pair is our best hope of national glory. if even malaysians don't support them, and u expect them to win?
Err..playing in front of a full house Mas Boleh fans, I am not sure your serve will be <10% into the net and >90% over the net, or the other way around...one thing I think might happen to you is you might pee on the court
I watched the replay of them in the final of MA2014. They were provocating and had really no manner. I mean there are several professional players who shout out loud. Sometimes with the face and lifted fist in the direction of their enemys. But mostly without a bad / evil purpose. Sometimes the players were warned by the umpire. But this kind of yelling, shouting, provocating by this malaysian pair, is an absolute No-Go. How on earth didn't the umpire do something? That was clearly unsportsmanlike. I don't understand why some people here can defend their behavior on the court. It was provocating on purpose. I mean doing visual hand signals like "c'mon, smash more. Gimme more!" is just lame. While I think badminton doesn't need to be that quiet like tennis, I believe badminton matches should have class. It wasn't the first time I've seen their bad manner on the court, but well. Let's see if they grow up and learn to respect the enemys on the court...
Did lim really said that? Or was he misquoted?.....they haven't even achieve anything and they already talk like that??!! No humility! how to be great players? No chance no way..
u must read it before make the comments mr accordaz http://www.thestar.com.my/Lifestyle...n-doubles-heroes-Goh-V-Shem-and-Lim-Khim-Wah/
well, in that match, they did repetitively lob back to VShem to smash...that is a way of making a statement of " come at me "
From the article: At the Malaysian Open final, it was actually the guys from China (Chai Biao-Hong Wei) who started it. You won’t see it on TV, but on the court, they were taunting us. Every time they lifted the shuttle, they were looking at us as if to say, “go ahead, smash it if you can”. That's interesting. When Goh smashed, he still had time to look at the Chinese's face, and guessed what they were thinking, or Lim saw that and told Goh??? They must be good mind readers.
This pair is shameless, eagerly awaiting them being annihilated left right and center in the upcoming tournaments. Too bad they dont have any looks to back up their hobbies of fashion, they would probably get a great gig in the circus.
I dont know about you guys but when I am smashing and opponent repetitively lifting back to me some how means tht " you smash like a sissy.. come at me. I will take every shuttle you hit at me ". So I assume they had the same mindset too. Watching back the games when msia lost the first few points, CB/HW were shouting loud as well. And I do not remember they did the same thing in semi final against indonesia players. It was quite a normal games there. And for the hand waiving part during the end of 1st set. Please do know that it was Hong Wei started it first. He was the one provoking us in the stadium to cheer louder. This was not shown in TV broadcast. That's why when Malaysia won the 1st set they mimic Hong Wei's gesture. And also a sign for Msia'n fans to cheer louder to bring CB/HW fighting spirit down..
During that game, Goh's smashes were lethal and Hong/Choi had no answers to his smashes. But somehow they still kept lifting the shuttle to Goh. I doubt if they did that try to make Goh look sissy. I would say the Chinese MD used to play with their power and didn't know how to change their game. If Zhang Nan or Cai Yun was in that game, they would have played differently.
For some reason I highly doubt that that the BWF TV broadcast was done with the intention of making MAS MD look bad or something. We only saw the MAS MD pulling their stunts. But I'm sure that at this point in time they can make something up to justify what happened and the MAS fans will happily eat it up.
