Still acting like a spoilt brat.

Dobio je nogom u dupe heh

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.

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

fail

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!!!!
-
@doubledotter agree. stroke
-
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.

@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.

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.
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!

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