Yes.....we will......By the way....China's WO is the most disrespectful , not only for BWF but for spectators as well as umpires too......
You guys are acting a bit childish, this thread should be closed because nothing constructive or on topic has been mentioned for the last 3 pages, just silly back and fourth bickering.
This is not the first time that he wanted to kill the thread.........I think we have him enough to put LD in all unnecessary threads....
Closing a thread won't put an end to this sort of one-on-one games The best course of action here is: Stick to the topic! 'Is Taufik Hidayat getting worse?'
Same old twisting of the words, same old "facts", same old same old, so predictable. Once again for the millionth time, you can't state facts and leave out a whole load of other facts that work against you. You can say things freely sure, but there are limits. If that post was a one off it might have been tolerable. But I've seen plenty more of it from cooler. Years worth... >_> Yeah I sure am, considering I don't bash him. And ONCE AGAIN, ignoring other important "facts" to your own convenience. Also, I don't think the original post said anything about backhand smashes winning matches? So where did that come from? It's a provocative comment. There's no two ways about it. How many "Why Taufik Lost" threads have you felt the need to "balance out" (make worse)? HAH, I was talking about Lin Dan buddy! Please read my posts more carefully . Can you please try to understand that I'm not trying to make excuses for Taufik Hidayat? What I'm doing is trying to make you see that it takes TWO (well... at least two) to make a problem. Just like right here. So I think I'll stop now (yes - after I had just one last say in the matter - but hey, I'm like that! I guess you could say I'm stubborn too ). Yes . And has been for the best part of the last 2 years!
I hope you don't mean it!! One uncool cooler is enuf. I am glad there is no LD in the MD department, phew. Go Markis/Hendra or CY/FHF or KKK/TBH.
Actually, this is the VERY TRUE ANSWER of this thread original question... So why all those bickering and bashing toward TH? Come on.. He's our hero. Our former hero, that is...
Come on, why the , Indonesia had a hero in MS in 2004. Sony or Simon shall be your next heros . Taufik remains an example to follow as the OG champ, WC Champ, AG champ, that not good enuf? 2008 OG you have heros in Kido/Setiawan, mighty mouse/mighty pole & mighties they are . And heroine in Maria, hehe.
The only thing I don't like from him is that his performance has been rapidly, and drastically, going down. Not something I'd expect from a hero. I have no problem with his celebrity-like life. As long as he plays well, go ahead. Reality? And his last (most likely) OG. Even if he lost, I wanted him to lose heroically (rubber set, 20-22 24-22 27-29). But, look at him! Lost in his 1st match?! Straight set?! Terrible score?! Come on! Borrowing BC's term: He's been Hafiz Hashim-ed... Well, I DO proud of them all. Especially Maria. Hopefully, they won't follow TH's trend...
Hafiz Hashim-ed doesnt rhyme, and it's giving HH too much credit, Taufik was 2004 OG champ, Hafiz only 2003 AE champ. Yoyo is yoyo king, up & down, Taufik in 2007 & 2008, aft he won AG 2006 gold, has been, hmmmm, consistently stagnant I suppose you mean Taufik losing to our uncle WCH straight sets is embarassing. Kido, Setiawan wouldnt go down that route - they were still very quiet aft their WC 2007 win. I remember this pair as the only ones who looks glum aft winning titles, like they lost, . Maria, looks like she still has the world to conquer.
HH receives way too much credit, what else has this guy done except win AE03? This is the tourney where Lin Dan has been in 5 consecutive finals.
