Squash Great Dummy Spits3 - El Hindi vs Palmer

[gimmecola]

Still acting like a spoilt brat.

[didilamidi]

Dobio je nogom u dupe heh

[didilamidi]

Fair play is not el hindi's and Palmer's strong side and that is what happens when 2 of the same meet. Stroke 2 hindi is the right call but a let is not a disaster either. Also a stroke 2 palmer because of el hindis bla-blaing.

[dlamb3rt]

hindi let himself go down on purpose. looks like soccer to me.

[gerrard6092]

fail



[harshit98181]

an absolute stroke...no doubts about that...but then we do have referring errors happening al the time...players just need to swallow that and keep doing what they do best....BURN RUBBER!!!!

[mistletoe88]

such a bad call. maybe squash needs to consider video replays. some refs who officiate these tournaments are simply not the same class as the players they're refereeing.

[SquashReferee]

The referee correctly issued a conduct warning for time wasting. However, a conduct stroke should have been awarded when El Hindi continued to delay play. The referee is required to control the match and El Hindi is gaining unfair advantage by delaying play. Merely stating that no further discussions will be entered into is not sufficient; if, after a warning is given, a player defiantly continues to delay play, a stroke should be awarded - otherwise El Hindi would attempt to debate later calls.

[SquashReferee]

The correct decision is Stroke to El Hindi. Palmer accepted the interference and played on. He prevented El Hindi from striking the ball (clearly would have been a winning shot).

[khogilvy]

yeah clear cut stroke, but the refs only saw it once, hard to tell if your not exactly sure what happened. def a stroke though.

[faisalkfpm]

the players attitudes makes it difficult for Olympics to take Squash.

[Moose92411]

@faisalkfpm That's really the unfortunate truth of it, isn't it? There's so much room for argument. We need to take the "no arguing" approach that the NBA has put in place and implement it in squash. El Hindi should have definitely ended up down 5-3 after a conduct stroke. Personally, I think it was a let because El Hindi could have swung, and because it was a very awkward position (though I would have accepted 'stroke' as well), but the players really need to suck it up and keep playing.

[thetigerbenji]

let only good call

[legendroy123]

i've lost my respect for Palmer after this rally..it's quite obvious he could feel the bump after he dive. He talking rubbish thinking that he was right..

[fazalabbas]

Stroke

[retarded1256]

zzz stroke, hello ref get some glasses

[niceabbsguy2002]

definately a stroke

[SquashLeo05]

@niceabbsguy2002

agreed definetly a stroke

[zoom1177]

They did so much for tennis to eliminate things like that, cameras a players can challange the refs.

Would it kill them to give the ref a small TV and allow players certain amount of challangers each game?

[LibrasHP]

Clearly a stroke

[sherbiko]

obviously its a stroke

[jdcontrol]

In fact, David whilst diving, sort of kicked Wael on his arse! clearly seen at 2:08, then making him fall.

[kingoftrades]

Pallmer was mistaken, it may have felt like that, but it was obviously a stroke.

[sidelongglance]

El Hindi was hard done by here. Palmer might have believed that El Hindi was stepping on him, but really EH was just collapsing after Palmer took him down with that dive. Stroke!

[SquashLeo05]

@sidelongglance

exactly

[Monkey200728]

I agree!!!!

[jamboanddaley]

tht is easily a stroke it is obvious

[mll245]

stroke - obvious

[doubledotter]

what a blunder on the officiating! An obvious stroke to El Hindi who played a great shot and Palmer who left himself out to dry with a poorly placed shot back to himself. Terrible call!

[jgodbier]

@doubledotter agree. stroke

[Roosterhahn92]

thanks for sharing

[ArnthorJon]
