Finally a ref stands up to Asal. Love to see it

[@andydonaldson1892]

Finally we see a ref strong enough and brave enough to deal with Asal and his drama queen antics. From the wider world of fair and respectful squash, I applaud you sir! 👏

[@ramyshaaban685]

Absolutely right ✅️

[@deejayquinnwaerea1597]

I've mentioned this before on another forum, and got crucified for it. Asal is very talented, bit needs too sharpen his tools if he wants to be a consistent world no.1

[@charlieramsey1452]

I agree

[@practicingparents]

Totally agree. Finally a ref that actually reffed the game.

[@michaelpham6379]

[@geoffsherwood933]

I think referees are getting wise to the blocking Asal is doing and are taking a harder line with him. Hopefully it will encourage him to play more cleanly.

[@ramyshaaban685]

Definitely 👍👍

[@amurtaza]

Good job by the referee.

[@alifdsfdskfjdksjklfd]

Well done to the referee for managing such a difficult game between Asal and Soliman- I felt the decisions given were fair and accurate

[@ramyshaaban685]

Strongly agree 👍

[@TheLastEpiscopalian]

No way. Asal can own as much of the court as he wants to play his sh, especially when he is hitting it from the T. Let alone 2 other giant facts; Asals ball went tightly along the wall, Solimon made the wrong path and Solimon only so much as pretended to try get it smashing against Asal. And then Asal gets a conduct game for hitting the ball at the T? What a joke. That ref just doesn’t like Asal.

[@gavincassidy7748]

[@ThePMantis]

That's one of the best referee performances I've seen.... totally nailed every decision... spot on giving conduct warnings for Asal blocking every time. He clearly moves back in to the line his opponent has to take to get to the ball. I feel for Solimen cos he had to deal with Asals foul play. Asal is talented but a brat who just cannot seem to get his head round the concept of fair play. All he needs to do is watch some of the other classy players like Farag, Gawad, Momen, Coll, Mohammed El Shorbagy.... all gentlemen, all talented, all want to win but are honest and they want to win in a fair way. Asal has so much talent but so little character. If he had both he would be unstoppable...its a shame for him that he cannot understand this.

[@fcpcb]

Like father, like son. The thing is Asal is talented enough that he absolutely doesn't need all those antics in his game. It's always stressful watching his game.

[@amurtaza]

Agreed.

[@abayoshinji]

There’s absolutely no denying Asal’s talent and skills, which is why it is absolutely infuriating to watch him pull off his usual shenanigans. At this point, no one in their right *mind* (edit) can buy the theory that he does what he does unintentionally. Not only is it very clearly intentional, but I’m sure he’s heard complaints and been given punishments and probably got into altercations with other players hundreds of times over the years. You don’t need that, Asal. Just play clean, bro. You’ll still win so many events, I guarantee.

[@AlexHarvey1980]

That is the sad thing, that he doesn't need to but he just can't stop blocking.

[@inqurious]

I hope the ref sees these comments because we (IMO rightly) are singing his praises for finally calling Asal on that

[@steverogers7473]

100% agree, well said

[@togume]

@@inqurious totally - the ref, the whole PSA, and also Asal + his dad. So much promise if he can fix those behaviors and mature. Great precedent being set here.

[@cookesam6]

I think it is somewhat subconscious, which would explain why he thinks he's innocent. I think the way he's been brought up and coached incorporated blocking as a valid tactic. Having said this I'm not defending him - it might be subconscious to do it mid-rally but it should be insanely obvious that it's bad when collisions and conduct games are made.

[@philipsandermatthiesen2311]

This was a huge step for squash. Finally a ref who did what was oww so needed. Has been painful watching his been acting on the squashcourt. Was afraid for a while that this was the new 'meta'. Definetely still one of the best. But i'm so satisfied ngl.

[@divyanshusharma7374]

Well done ref

[@theboxfitchannel4305]

I think the ref was spot on with asal. He is a bully on the court sometimes and fair play to soliman because he was not putting up with his constant standing or leaving a leg in the way or not clearing. Squash should be played with gentlemanly conduct. I think he is a little upset that he didn't get away with it today and thus spitting out his dummy and as for not playing again I doubt that. He is one of the best 5 players in the world and still young in squash terms so why quit. Live and learn son and see you in the next round.

[@jerkorulez]

Nice to see referees not falling for Asal's football like tactics. That blocking leg he loves to use against Ng, Declan, Tareq, Coll and now Soliman needed to be penalised. Squash does need more talents and characters the likes of Abouelghar, Gawad, Coll, etc.

[@steverogers7473]

Could not agree more - well said

[@FinancialFreebo]

Its amazing how Asal is a bully and a baby all wrapped up in one. Leaving the trail leg behind and tripping his opponent is dangerous and very intimidating. Imagine the next 10 rallies... it would be totally on your mind every time you have to go around him from the back side. There is no room for this and it has to be stopped in the best interest of player's health and the image of the game. Not to mention, if they don't take stronger action against him and he seriously injures an opponent there would clearly be issues of liability.

[@ROOSON1]

exactly, after he DID injure momen in Qatar the refs are watching that leg like a hawk. it can't continue

The ref's decisions are just and long overdue.

[@abidfarooqui-sla3301]

Asal really needs to get with a coach to straighten out his movements which really do put other players in danger. I am not sure if they are deliberate but assuming they are not, he needs to learn to move and step properly. He will hurt some player with his movements or get hurt himself and it would not be good. It almost happened here. I am not sure I agree with the second conduct stroke but Asal is painful to watch in general. Such unclear and blocking movements after the shots. He is so talented and accurate that he really doesn't need all this drama. He is a great player and shot maker and this is a hindrance not a positive to his game. I wish him the best and hope he will acknowledge this shortcoming and learn with a proper coach to overcome it. This is likely a bad habit he has developed over the years and its time for it to be unlearned.

[@benjisurya]

not his movement, his attitude

[@chriscrawford94]

Yeah thats what I was thinking. His left leg was free to take a step and try prevent his fall but he went for a dramatic straight leg fall and accidentally hit his head. So ridiculous the way he went down.

[@logant6490]

We've all played people who block and make it difficult to move around the court. They always end up with no one to play.

[@samosborne791]

Soliman doing his best to play through and avoid asking for lets. Better for game of squash if players look to make the effort to play through and avoid breaking the flow by asking for multiple lets. But it works both ways. Opponent needs to make an effort to clear. Asal doesn’t consistently make that effort to clear and ref was onto him. If he makes the effort to clear he has the skill to win fairly and respectfully. He’s great to watch but just needs to clean up that bit of his game for his own good; otherwise his reputation will precede him and refs will be less likely to give him his share of 50/50 decisions…

[@tascolino538]

There is more to being a sportsman than your abilities in whichever sport you play. There is also character, fairness and a lack of self centeredness. If Asal can't work on this off court parts of his personality I think he should just stop playing for now. It seems someone has just taught him winning is all that matters, whichever way you do it. Quite a pity to watch.

If he quit now, it would be better for the tour if I am honest

[@avalonavalentine51]

Even I hold my breath when I watch Asal play, I find him very intimidating and aggressive and his tactics OMW, if I played him I would be too afraid to come close to him because of his way of play e.g lazy left leg syndrome, not moving out of the way fast enough (blocking), his comments towards his opponents while playing everything about him reeks of a spoiled brat and his DAD has just shown that he supports his sons behavior (I could be wrong) but I don't want to talk to be in that house after this game. Soliman really was not going to put up with Asal and neither was the ref. I hope all the references take this stance with Asal and just maybe he will learn from it.

Feel bad for Asal in a way but let's get real, the movements he does after hitting is just plain cheating. Anyone who has played squash at amateur level knows that clearing after playing a shot is one of the most energy sapping aspects of the game, and everyone knows what it's like when you're playing against someone who isn't clearing properly after a shot. You end up doing twice as much work as them as you're not only making an effort to clear yourself, but you're having to work harder to get around them when they don't. This isn't amateur level though, it's the highest level and it's about time Asal was punished for this nasty habit. In his case his movements are worse than the amateur players; the amateur players merely don't move whereas he seems to actively move into the opponents line.

[@brianoconnor2623]

I thought the contact was unnecessary for both rallies, in the 1st Soliman had a path up the middle of the court but hung back and put himself in a bad position, he could have ran around and asked for a Let. In the 2nd the only opportunity to play the ball was in the front backhand not at the rear of the court, he was simply played out of position and the back of the court wasn't an option. You can't play a bad shot and be out of position then be saved by a Let.

LMAO Asal got banned for two months. Fantastic news.

Okay he doesn't have to bring the soccer culture into the sport. Be a man and hit like a hockey player or take a hit like a baseball player....
