I don't think the PSA should be replaying this one, such a bad advert for squash as a professional sport

And final point was disgraceful. Coll obviously couldn't access the ball cos Asal was in the way. If not stroke, at least a let. And it was such a close match. Totally undeserved win.
How on earth did Paul Coll refrain from pushing him full force face first into the glass, unbelievable self control

Asal yelling before Coll even hits the shot is considered interference. Shameless.
I want to see Coll's post match interview.
6:54 - The ref should stop play here and give a conduct stroke against Asal. I'm not sure why refs are so tentative to act in situations this obvious. As Johnny says, "body work there from Asal." Stepping directly into his opponent's path with absolutely zero effort to clear.
Asal The Cheat. Disrespectful, dishonest and the worst winner the game has seen.

It seems to me that for some reason they couldn't use the video referee, and obviously the ref didn't see it. I also bet that Asal didn't see it himself as he didn't watch the ball hitting the front wall, looking at the replay. But I find it strange why the tin makes the exact same sound as the front wall on this court. On any squash court I've played on, the tin always gives a very loud clang when hit.

@@remcovandijk279 Yeah the tin makes the same noise as always, problem is the glass wall also makes a pretty loud clang when it's hit so it's very very hard to distinguish the two.

That was close. In many cases I saw refereeing that lacked a bit against both players but definitely against Asal's strange antics and distractions. Asal is talented and good but he is dirty and he needs to grow up
I honestly think the idiot was aiming at Paul Coll at 9:56 just so he could win... With a game / match point to win the whole thing and to try and pull of a shot like that ... it's a bit suspicious

He's just been given a 2 month suspension. I'm pretty sure this match had something to do with it though I'm not 100% sure.
Loved this mach
Double bounces, tin, blocking, time violation... Anyone can continue writing the list?
Why is this terrible match a throwback? Sort out the clear issues in player conduct rules and move on. Bad for the sport, this.
The last point should be a conduct stroke against Asal. He grabs Coll's shirt. Irrespective of whether Coll was going to reach the ball or not, that's a conduct penalty against Asal.
That last match point could have been stroke to Coll as it passed so close to Asal, but once Coll made the decision to play it, then Asal was out of the way. So the video referee had little choice (no let).
The title should be something like: "THE WORST SQUASH JUDGING EVER???"
Elite match
you can say whatever you like about Asal but ultimately the responsibility lies with the awful refereeing in this match, they aren't penalising Asal OR Coll for their movements
really amaze with coll. lots of biased ref decision and he still stood by himself until the end. some players will be early crash. no respect towards Asal.
💙
I really don't know if Assal is playing a phycological game or not? however, I also watch table tennis games and he reminds me with Harimoto who had a similar attitude. He should see how he ends up, the only difference here is in Japan they enforce discipline, will Assal's trainer be able to do the same?? Assal is a very talented player but also uses aggressive moves against his opponents, this will work for few more games but eventually be exposed to all referees. I hope he matures quickly and become a real champ 🙏

This has nothing to do with harimoto, a player who shows great sportsmanship as do pretty much all Japanese athletes. He only screams to keep himself motivated, and he doesn’t even scream at the opponents. Asal on the other hand purposely tries to block opponents and cheat to win. Clearly different.
3:13 , 6:55 typical examples of Asal's blocks.
Don't advertise this one please
I searched for a video about roaring lions and got this
It's definitely not cricket ...............
Asal the cheat...ball was so far down my granny saw it from across the street
sudently I'm liking the attitude of the Elshorbagy brothers or the French mens i didn't like so much before this O_o
That celebration at the end is the worst. Even if he would have won it clean, this celebration would have been abhorrent.
Awful reffing. "No we can't" you mean you can't check if the ball is down. Personally something I'd love to see change in PSA, if the ref doesn't know if it's up or down then go to the video ref, there's no shame in it John M.
Asal is blocking several times a rally. Ugly match to watch, shameful behavior
Man, if I was yelling like a weirdo after every point, I'd win every match too. Feel bad for Coll's ears....
Disgraceful Match ! Absolute Dishonesty on the part of Asal so many times ! Hats off to Coll for keeping his Cool ! Karma is a Bitch Asal, and you will realize sooner than Later
Everyone's so upset about how Asal celebrated. He's 20 years old and defeating all time legends, and you expect him to keep his cool? No. In an interview he says how it was just emotions and you can see how much the win means to him. He won that match, not you or I, it's not our place to judge his victory celebration. Oh my gosh this is not even hectic at all. How are all of you overreacting like this
Asal is a bloody cheat. He deliberatly body blocks, does not call his down or double bounced balls.He is a very talented player & doesn't need to do these things to win.!!!
Wow Asal is a total disgrace. You have to call your own tins there. And the audacity he had to ask the ref to check the cameras for his second tin after they refused to use the cams to check the first.
Coll shouldn't have played at that last shot, he was there and Asal was in the way most definitely, could have been a stroke to Coll...........who knows what the ref would have done.
How exciting game it is~~Assal!~amazing!!!
Throwing his shirt into the audience before the match is officially called is so cringe. And he's so full of himself that he will argue obvious tins as up. But damn he's a fun player to watch. The retrieval, racket skills, and determination all in such supply
Shame of squash Asal 😤
3:25 3:55
One of the worst COIB Finals I have ever seen. Playing in Cairo always hard. But this time the referee did not catch couple of shots that was totally off and he did not review either. Asal does not deserve his position. Hats off of Paul who behaved like gentlemen. If Asal gets more excited next time, perhaps the Egyptian fans will enjoy the smell of his underpants too!!
That is not squash!!
Asal's behavior in the court is utterly disgusting I think.
What Cole was complaining about in the final point, was that Asal grabbed him with his hand as he tried to get past him to get the trickle boast. Asal has done these dirtiest of moves before on huge points, he did it to Diego Elias but the refs caught it in that case. Reaching out with you hand and grabbing an opponent to impede them and hoping the refs don’t catch you is the definition of dirty player who needs to cheat to win. Every time I see Asal lose now, which he does quite often now that the refs know how he cheats and have largely stopped him from doing so, I get a warm fuzzy feeling. Asal deserves all the karma that’s coming to him. I mean what kind of player pretends repeatedly that his balls aren’t down, and grabs player as they try to get past him, never mind all the other dangerous play he’s exhibited. I can’t wait to see this this guy lose.
Whoever chose the image for the thumbnail needs to find a new job
Such incredibly poor form from Asal his ball was down by 6 inches! How could he seriously claim that it was up. Such a cheater, disgraceful.
Sadly this behaviour from Asal, if unchecked will lead to other players employing the same tactics to beat him, which will not be pleasant to watch, the match referee and video ref need to work closer together to stamp out this behaviour before it becomes a cancer in our beloved game
Players like Asal make it difficult to watch squash. No class at all. The only consolation watching this is that Paul Coll is currently world no 3 and just beat Faraq and this clown is only just inside the top 10.
coll is dull in comparison to this new superstar

I can dismiss some of the antics due to age, but not the Cheating. At 2:30 the ball hit the middle of the Tin, there was no question even if his eyes were closed he heard it. For him not to concede this shows a moral deficiency…this has nothing to do with age.
Asal is the most discusting, unsportive player in the PSA these days. His behaviour is worse than a 6 year old.
Asal needs to be pulled into line for his behaviour on court it's not a good advertisement for squash.
How on earth is Asal still playing squash till this very day with this such behavior?!!! He should be banned for life
I am exhausted just by watching these rallies !
Asal is the upcoming undisputed King of the squash world 🌎🌎 Amazing player
Asal needs to understand the beautiful nature of squash and not run the game with his dirty antics
Bad Circus
Glad we have a break from this narcissist
the guy needs immediate medical help !
Haha so many salty people. At least he gives a bit of life into the sport unlike all the boring players these days, it's the job of the referees to make him stop do it. He just does whatever he can do to win. If the ref doesn't punish him for it, how can you blame him from doing it again.

Exciting squash but the flip side of Asal is disappointing- every now and again an un sportsman, cringy player turns up on the PSA- feel embarrassed for him when the bratty side comes out...and as for his celebrations.🙄
TBH Asal has a pretty gross looking chest/upper body. No definition. I wouldn't been going shirtless to the beach if I were him
Asal is an absolute embarrassment to the sport. There is no way this behavior is acceptable.
Shame on squash TV from showing this ugly match as a showcase of the Egyptian tournament. Just show any female match... far more enjoyable and fair. Any match with Hanny comes to mind or in the man side any with Farag or Gawad
If they were all nice and respectful the sport would not be as interesting. Plus, the arrogant gloaters need someone to cheer for too you know!
This will do nothing for the advancement of squash on the world stage… what a poor example of sportsmanship Asal is…I would rather be Coll in this result, rather than win throwing tantrums like a spoilt child…
It's not "The Bull", more like the "BS" or "The Cheat"....Weak refereeing....

The obscure older sports that were grandfathered in wouldn’t make the cut today. Other sports like badminton are played by millions in China, India, Pakistan etc. The 3x3 basketball is an absolute joke. Skateboarding is definitely urban. My guess is the IOC thinks squash smacks too much of elitism, British colonialism, and in some countries (esp the US) private clubs & East coast universities. Which is too bad because it’s an amazing game played by phenomenal athletes and is crossing socio-economic borders & opening up all over the world.
