Top 10 Most Controversial Umpire Calls 

Camera is everywhere and every angle is filmed. Line judges are kinda useless.

Just too painful to watch

I think BWF must make new rules. Let there be challenge whenever the player and judge don't agree each other. Like the last one, it's will be too painful for Ginting. Clearly he didn't foul. And also these umpires need to be penalised for their bad judgement, even players got penalised due to misbehaviour.

Even the umpire also got nervous when Lin Dan plays 🔥

It hurts to see that sometimes umpire could really wreck one's hard work

does the umpire even know how hard is to even score one point in badminton?.... umpires should be penalised heavily or even suspended so that they get very cautious atleast next time...

i'm really pissed why they all not look at replay to see umpire is wrong?

No.5 angers me the most. Japanese pair lost because of a bad umpire selection (from China) - even the commentator said it’s unfair bias.

The brice leverdez line call was legend!

What's worse to lose a game on the opponent's winning point by a bad call.

agreed when someone commenting too painful to watch... i couldnt finish the whole video😂

Some of the people in this video needs to be fired and never allowed to participate in judging. Makes my blood boil.

I don't know why, but I feel that this is heartbreaking 🥺

me trying not to get triggered at 2 am

the umpire who was not giving a challenge even the player still have a challenge in hand was smoking weed before he went to the court😂🤣😂🤣 ...stupid call

To these line judges : you have one job!

Especially the service judges. They should have a replay for every decision made. To foul a service is so debatable.

The Line judges need not to exist😒 And The umpire's nation should be different to both players👎Like Takahashi and Matsutomo, We must fight not only opponent-players.

Number 5 is very ridiculous how can the umpire said no challenge

The fact that the other team is so selfish and just seemed like its none of their business as its their point is so disappointing

5:58 because of Akhilesh Yadav..

That matsuma ine was so pissing off i would hv slapped that ump. Credit to them for showing such class

How to solve that controversy? Just let officials supervisor check it, any cheating attempt will be stopped right away. And also, extra 1 screen for video replay, just same like VAR (Video Assist Referee)

I feel like the indian umpire wanted the indian to win instead of the chinese

For me better i smash umpire than i continue play

The worst one I've seen is Lee Wan Wah and Choong Tan Fook Vs Martin Lungaard Hansen and Jens Eriksen 2004 All England back then no challenges and you couldn't overrule the line call. It affected the outcome/ result of the match in favour of the Danish combination.

I was watching that Matsutomo and Takahashi match when this happen and i felt very dissapoint as i was rooting for them to win the match

3:23 axelsen's racquet is over the net

Look at their friendship Lin Dan is explaining to Chong wei that it's out. Opponents dont do that you know.

Disappointed in the opponents who knew the truth but said nothing. Guess bad calls average out over time but still would like to see sporting behaviour.

this is so heartbreaking to watch.

Umpires be like :- Let's have some fun with Lin Dan🤣🤣😂

Dear Umpire, pls look at all this clips and be ashamed of yourself. To all referee, dont forget that being a referee is to make sure the game is fair for the patient. Everyone are there to watch a good and fair game; not there to watch you acting like a king and as if you are always right

If the line judge gets a basic salary then I can understand. But I'm sure the referee makes a handsome amount - there should be definite penalty for such poor performance.

There must be a second umpire in badminton as in the third umpire in cricket, sitting along with the commentators for a better view

Bwf should appoint very qualified umpire and line judge. They should know the rules before make a decision

8:54 horrible call smhhhhhh

I am ur 1000th sub (:

Umpires who spoil the player's mental like this should be suspended/banned too

This video could really make you angry...

The 6 is the worst

I want to know, is there any action that can be taken if the decision made by the referee is really wrong. ? Such as fines or any action that can make refree more sensitive and careful of their actions.?

Hi, I have subscribed to your channel 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏

when srikanth VS huang... we already know because its india...

Most umpires in this sport are underqualified for what they do.

That linesman for no 6 is sleeping thought it was doubles game😂

it took years to practice and this umpire just comes and sits there and like no no no no......

The video is in trending lol

When Referee's eat S**t for breakfast, lunch. Snacks and Dinner

In these situations, usually the one gets the point will 'net' the next serve or purposely drive the shuttle out to lose a point.

The bad refree will not use again. Priceless

What is the background music at the end of video, plz ?

I understand that umpires are human too and do make some small mistakes but that bald head umpire was literally sleeping.

4:56 that was barbaric. Same umpire in 2018 BWF tour final against Sameer Verma have given a pathetic decision in 2 game match point. Jorgenese vs Lin Dan match seems one of the most controversial match in history. 😂

Now that they have the Hawk-Eye technology, I don't think you need to have too much concern about Umpire mistakes

Few days before got the same out by the judge on tournament when it was 10 sm clear out. 2 times per game.

Nice videos

I wonder what would happen with the umpire after the controversial calls? Any sanctions from BWF? Anyone knows? The umpire of the game between Lin Dan VS Jorgensen made lots of mistakes in one game. BWF should take his license as an umpire.

With the advance technology and umpire seems to make genuine mistake, it's about time that the challenge should not be restricted to only a few. Let's every dispute be challenged if they are confident of it. Penalise them if the player got it wrong eg. two point awarded to the opponent.

Bangkelah yg terakhir diputar lagi..but, actually lee cheuk yiu got the same situation in toyota thailand open 2020 (happened in 2021) quarter final vs hans vittinghus

So painful to watch. Sometimes I wonder if these umpires or line or service judges even play badminton. Badminton rules are archaic and needs to be changed. Umpire calls cannot be over ruled even if video playback shows an obvious error. Like challenges, video playback should be allowed like 2 a game.

I hope there no more umpire like that

3:47 pls that was waaayyy out 😭 I feel so bad for him

Hopefully contents like this with the voice of commentator in the back will make the umpire and line judges have a better morality in a match that sometimes mean everything for the players. Shame on unfair umpire!

So when badminton will implement like var system like football or tennis.

The last fault for the foot invading the opponent’s court.

When umpires are vey high

Everyone : booooo, dumb refereeing! BPL football referees and VAR : hold my beer

Where are they watching in huang vs srikanth game ?

Athletes at the professional level have worked too hard for their game to be ruined by something as lame sauce as this What Bwf can do for super events is for a official to be sitting elsewhere,with a camera in the court,or simply put sensors everywhere or something lol

4:18 correct me if i am wrong but I'm pretty sure the hawkeye result came through after and it was actually in.

For the last minute of video, there is music, may i know the title is?

I don't understand why umpires are old. Referees and umpires should be young. With aging eyes it's difficult for old people to judge

good job

ayo that first one..

umpires should be penalize for their bad decision

Please explain 9th part

1:30 Why Jorgensen could not try the challenge? I can't hear what their talk.

The commentators know whats up

Aren't players allowed to beat the shit out of them🤣

Why is the umpire’s decision absolute? Is it not allowed to review the footage before making the final decision whenever a player challenge? The umpires are also human they can make mistakes they cannot see everything from every angle that is why there are cameras everywhere. It is not fair for the player who works hard by imposing one’s decision just because the umpire can. I think it is a form of bullying, don’t you think 🤔

No4 is totally a bias

Ref dont know that full swing near net will cause it to move a lot if there is contact?

3:33 stupid line judge thought they playing double

Legendary umpires salute to them..

they should review the footage before making a call or if the decision is uncertain

No.1 mistake you showed. Same happened with he bingjiao vs yamaguchi. More or less in same decisive moment of the game.

Mafia everywhere

This game needs VAR too.

the paul edwards umpire had an atrocious game for Lin v Jorgensson

It is either happen in Europe or when the home countrymen/women played which are more possible to happen

I call it fix match...lol

A Little mistake from kumar dharamsena in worldcup final costed NewZealand the worldcup and here the umpire are just sitting on the high chair and sleeping all through the match

Umpire think they are perfect and would never missed sight of anything!!!

💰💰

A good example of people being paid to do the job but having their eyes and minds away from the game, didn't see when they are suppose to see but stick to their 'assumed' decision, knowing that the umpire and line judges are final. The faces of these careless officials should be immediately viralled on the social medias and their licences should be suspended immediately. The ones in the Indian Open (Indian umpire and line judges) is the most obvious. Opponent players who knew that their shots are wide but called in by the line judge or the umpire should allow the point to their opponents as an act of fair play. Those who don't should be ashamed of themselves. If having a bad umpire and line judges calls is not bad enough it is made more shameful when the opponents takes the unworthy credit. Personally, I'm of the opinion that all umpires and line judges in this short videos deserve to be shamed in front of the world. They've been heartless and cold to justice. Had this not been a sport, they really deserved a shot in the heads.

3 is soo ridiculous and not only 3 all are ridiculous

This is a special video, but as a casual observer I would consider a badminton championship no more valid that a figure skating championship from Russian judges.

i dont understand why theres a problem with looking at a replay or anything at all when the shuttle is close to the net, as long as the players want to see it... its bs that theres a referee saying you cant challenge etc, it should be allowed to have as many challenges as possible because of what it makes of the match result

Lin Dan won the gold medal though
