    also, Coll! speak up yourself when you step on to your opponent's foot and he's only asking for a 'let' - especially with a player like Ali, who forwards you all the basic courtesies on a regular basis

    8:16 best thing to see in professional squash, Ali got 100% taxied and instead of being annoyed/embarrassed he fully commends his opponent, who returns him with a grateful tap on the back in reply as thanks

    Farag had to win that game 5 times over, I’m glad he did in the end but that ref and video ref need to be audited by PSA and retrained. Farag showed incredible composure and was an absolute gentleman throughout. The ref seemed to have forgotten yes let is always an option. Of course context is important, but if you see how good Farag moves and reads the plays, you should at least err on a let rather than straight out no let. This bad refereeing only promotes bad sneaky fishing dangerous play.

    Poor reffing. This outcome could have been different.
    Regarding Coll at 18:00. Is there an understanding in squash that one must move away (in the direction of the T) after you've hit a shot? Him standing still is what's putting him in the line of the run to the ball.

    for God's sake, get your refereeing right - this is not a club match, these guys are making a living based off of these results, and with such close games, ridiculously bad decisions by the ref, especially upon video reviews, are just inexcusable - this is NOT professional in any aspect - just abysmal 😕😕😕

  • @Orbituation
    @Orbituation Рік тому +2

    I don't understand Joey's comment about the "naughty movement" at 18:21. Coll literally didn't even move from his spot, he wasn't trying to block Farag's line.
    I think it should have been a let since the drop wasn't a winner, but the ref might have seen that he had already cleared the interference but chose not to play it.

    • @TobyMurrayA
      @TobyMurrayA Рік тому +1

      I think he's referring to Coll's left leg. Usually when a player goes in with a lunge their next step is either pushing back out of the lunge or matching their feet. In this case, Coll stepped slightly back and to the left - exactly where Farag needs to go. When done maliciously that's exactly what blocking is, though this just looks like he was not totally balanced to me.

    • @Vinnizzz
      @Vinnizzz Рік тому

      Completely true, but it seems unintentional. It the same move that Asal uses as part of his game upsetting his opponent by giving minimal interference instead of clearing properly.

  • @FinancialFreebo
    @FinancialFreebo Рік тому +1

    The STROKE decision at 10:05 should have been a YES LET... Farag had straight in and the right corner...

    • @georgekrumm1857
      @georgekrumm1857 Рік тому +2

      I think you mean the left corner (right from the front wall camera). Even though the angle appears to be there for basically everything besides a very acute cross drop, the refs probably felt there was no safe way for him to play a hard cross court there. The 2:28 decision is similar. The angles to the front appear to be available ultimately, but it would be very dangerous to make an attempt at that ball, so you couldn't really say their swing was free from obstruction.

  • @MrJoel3498
    @MrJoel3498 Рік тому +1

    the no let at 16-16 seemed like the right choice to me. the shot was pretty bad since it popped out, but farag went the wrong way towards it. he was going tighter to the wall and didn't even show that he knew where the ball was going after it popped out. he also was asking for a decision before even stepping in.

    • @Prospaekt
      @Prospaekt Місяць тому

      This is the only explanation that makes sense to. On the earlier no-let, I think the reasoning of the refs was the same. So I'm not outraged as some are but I must also agree with a lot of the comments that Coll was clearing poorly in both cases. Based on the reviews I would probably have opted for a let in both cases.

  • @abidfarooqui-sla3301
