And even, helping someone not from MAS to condemn MAS players....I dont see this happen from INA's fans at all.....sigh
If I not mistaken, if give walkover/withdraw last minute before Round 1, still have pay the penalty, US$200 (?), even if injured or sick. So, if not very serious, sure will play, if not branded as 'coward' (pengecut), wasting tax payer $$$$, and get calls from Sports Minister.
hahaha Mr Loh, a bit contradictory. LD gave up in the 2nd set in the SWISS and hit the last point into the net (I saw that) - he was fatigued. Does that mean he is not prepared to become the next World Champ ? Actually, this is all so subjective. Really, at the end of the day, I think a champ is someone who can step up to win whether it is the AE, the SWISS, or something else. No one can win it all these days, not LD not LCW. Take a look at LCW who has beaten LD 6 times, can we say that is 6 times too little or 6 times too many ? When you work it out, even other players, e.g. Boonsak has beaten LD and LCW. So is he not a champion being able to do that ?
yes, precautions about food and water are necessities. But, u must know, professional players are humans too. they might made some mistakes just like in this case. well, as u know, the food stuff especially in India for me is speechless.. and do we actually know the truth that chong wei actually ate the food that gave him this problem in the plane?? in the local restaurant? ( as reporter in the star) or what?? there are so many press and newspapers reports/articles out there. 45% of those reports claiming are different i could see. there are reports coming from India and Malaysia in this case especially. so, its very hard to believe which one is true.
The highlighted line is one of the best I've read this year Well said, X_Ball. (PS: The rest of the argument is couched more in Boleh than in essentials )
It reveals envy.It indicates the person's a failed athlete and have to vent his frustrations and criticise to feel superior.Athletes who have really 'arrived' and achieve 'greatness' are usually reticent about their compatriots failures but happy for their successes because they know how gruelling and long the journey must have been.The chap couldn't even get past the coach.But why are MAS fans so bothered?As if you are dealing with a mother-in-law.Ignore the mother-in-law and the nagging will die for lack of attention. Anyway, jasonmarc, pls do a favour.Pls translate LM's interview.Just the gist of it.(NO need sentence by sentence.)
Dr Loh, he might have felt that he had recovered enough to play even after 5 toilet visits but at the end the same energy level deserted him. Now it would be terrible to call it quits in the middle of the 2nd set or 3rd set - coz then tongues would wag. But then in restrospect, he shouldn't care about wagging tongues anyway because they are wagging now.
Look at the bright side, his lost gave anti MAS fan 5 minute of happiness to create topic such as this. So it's not all disaster.
Why don't you ask LD to play in every tournament to get back his WR1?(Remember he used to play many tournaments before SS?) He has a blog. Ask him and if he can't say yes to your request , ask him why.Do you know how much preparations LD needs to get ready for a tournament? How much LCW needs? Do you know why there's such a big difference between them in terms of preparation efforts? Are you aware that LD cannot play a tournament without his teammates being ready as well?(OK, except Thai Open)Does LCW have to wait for his teammates? What does that tell you?
what to do? this is their golden chance as stated by jason in other threads earlier. they already have 14 days of sadness. Let them blast all out then
I hope so, he need to less talking after a game. He really need to. Losing is not fun, when he's unable to control the upset feelings, give him another option, stay silent, dear. You do know we'll stay faith, no matter what.
Take it easy George. Creating such threads makes it more interesting than just keeping mum. They help push our adrenalin higher but try not to mount personal attacks and let's enjoy the debate or discussion. Treat it as entertainment!
OK, I try my best. as pjswift requested...............LM said :... LCW mental weakness is greatly due to inadequate technique level in his play Technique level decide ones mental strenght LM said, if a player have advantages in technique level over his opponent, he will have a lot of resources, know what to do with his opponents and more stable mentally. Hope You can understand...!
Agree, Uncle Loh. Take it easy and enjoy. Bc should be fun, so let's live it up! No hard feelings yea.
well....to be fair enough...he should just play in mas ss...mas gp gold...ina ss...ina gp gold...sg ss...sg gp gold(if have)....THAILAND OPEN...brunei gp gold(hope have one)....ae....wc...and one team event......ten tournament a year...SAVE TAXPAYER MONEY by sending him just to nearby country......those hk ss,korea ss,japan ss....too expensive already....we need to use those money to help many poor family in malaysia...
when you just a normal player....u will have no fear because u dont know how strong ur opponent is... the nearer u are(level of skill and everything)...the more u fear...because u start to realise how strong ur opponent is... when the fear reach the peak....thats the time u are as strong as ur opponent...
Many thanks, jasonmarc and limsy. So LM's saying LCW has lots to grow in terms of tactics.PG and TH are gonna help him develop that.When was this interview?
