i really think tat badminton need some equipment for a fair game!
juz like tennis, human isn't god..
they can lie,cheat becoz of money or eagerness..
they will make mistake also for sure..
so why dun use eagle eye's like tennis?
this will make the game more interesting...
maybe not every shot,but some controversial shots..

Fully agree. I also noticed when Bao went for the net, his leg actually crossed the line. But Lee CW did not noticed as he tried to retrieved the shuttle. If there is Eagle eye he should be able to challange that shot.
 
Let's face it, biased line calls have been part and parcel of Chinese tournaments as far as i can remember. It's not likely to be different in OG08 so I think players should just go into a game vs chinese players with a -3 point handicap in mind.

LCW sure didn't look 100% today but BCL was on form. Would have been a good match, shame.

Remember - Bao didn't cheat; if any infringement it's by the officials from China. So don't direct your anger at him.

Bao didnt cheat, but he didn't display much sportsmanship either. He was pointing the shuttle in to the umpire when it was definitely out............CCTV5 didnt show all the "paid" line calls.............:mad::mad::mad:
 
BaoCL won, all right. He played very well, ok.
No disputes there.

What can't be discounted is the psychological factor that the entire place is against you and that is already a disadvantage. Add to that the problem is biased line judgement and you get a major weight placed on your mind knowing that you now need to work twice as hard as the other guy to do it.

LCW is only human with feelings, don't abuse the word 'professional' for 'robotic'.
 
why bother playing this current match... since what matters is china wins:p shld skip to MD... WD can play whenever they like:)
 
this time, bcl and lyb had a plan to beat lcw. The tactics were quite revealing. Bad calls or not, lcw was pick on by bcl. There were 3 controversial line calls and 1 net call. Yes, cooler's eyes saw 1 incorrect line call against lcw at 14-10, 2nd set. There wasn't good replay on the other disputed line calls so i can't tell.

Also Bao is a friend of Chong Wei ... I would have walked off the court knowing that I have no chance to win under these biased condition, I think the audience would understand. Habing say that, thank god Chong Wei did not think like me, showing his true sportmanship and so proud of him.

Agreed! LCW did shown a true sportsmanship today! He smiled even after his defeat and applause to Bao!

too bad i wasn't sitting close to any of the lines to be able to tell if the calls are good or not. but certainly a bit too many and LCW was prepared for it and protested when appropriate.

to give BCL some credit, he did play very well today and as mentioned, could probably have beaten LCW without the help of the linesmen.

He may, but that I am afraid we will never know :-(

3 incorrect calls makes 15-15 18-12.. quite a huge difference I would say..

Bad line call happen everywhere but CHINA is the place it happen the most. I guess LCW isnt sending a message strong enough to IBF. This is typical Msian… Bolehlah! If he walks away like TH, the Message would be very strong!!!
 
No disrespect to Bao, he was the better player among the two today. And I am sure he could have won this on his own skill. But the officiating is a farce, and I salute LCW for holding on to sportsmanship despite the inevitable outcome. You can see that if when call was good, LCW did not object.

I hope Kido/Setiawan will not suffer the same fate. Unlike the women's game, the men's game require more precision in line officiating 'cos most winners are normally hit close or at the lines and at speed. Otherwise it is almost impossible to make a kill.

There's nothing for the Chinese fans to be proud of their player, Bao CL's win because they way the game was won was shameful.

Today CL seemed fired up to win, but nobody will accord him the praise because he was playing a start-stop-start-stop-start-stop opponent. Because the game was not played to its full capacity. At the end of the game, CW's mind was so pre-occupied with the linesmen and umpire that he had to watch every fall of the shuttle carefully and actually asked the umpire if he had faulted, if again, the second time.

Shame on the organizers!

Today the winner is LEE CHONG WEI for the great sportsmanship he displayed. Another player, for e.g. Lin Dan or Taufik, if they were faulted this way, would have already walked.

Can't imagine OG 08. Yikes !:o:eek:

Hahaha....I would have walked out straight away. No doubt about it. Anyway, credit to BCL he played well but the match would have been more interesting and tight if it were not of the bias/controversial line calls. I just don't understand why China BA need to do that. They have good players who can win fairly.
As for OG 08 BWF need to do something to avoid controversial/bad line calls again else badminton would be a shameful sport in OG 08
