  1. World badminton ditches controversial women's skirts ruling ahead of #Olympics soc.li/mRlMWXC
  2. World Badminton's new logo bit.ly/K6p57y Nice retro font a la New York Cosmos with a comatosed Darth Vader on a stag do?
  3. World badminton finally shelve plans for women to wear skirts. "Dated and sexist" Imo Bankier told me. Surprised it took a year to sort.
  4. Such is British psyche, most probably wanted five-gamer. But we really can't bemoan Matthew for telling refs Ashour had no vid replays left.
  5. Nick Matthew quells Ramy Ashour's shot making with 3-0 win. Third British Open title for 'The English Machine'. Stunning.
  6. S/F report: How to stop brilliance of Egypt's Ramy Ashour? That's what stands in way of Nick Matthew and third title bit.ly/Kmvabo
  7. Two significant dates at 4pm today: #cfc trophy parade and Nick Matthew aiming for British Open history at the O2.
  8. @OlliePorritt he's done enough soul searching this week. Always raises game against the best.
  9. Ramy Ashour now one step away from becoming first Egyptian to win sport's oldest title since 1966. The irony. An Englishman awaits.
  10. "Pure genius" is James Willstrop's view of Ramy Ashour, who reaches final 3-1. Thousand strong crowd on its feet at the O2. A privilege.
  11. I feel confident @alexthomascnn will rid memories of Kerry Dixon scoring in front of Clock End and embrace Blue today.
  12. Are the grey coloured outfits worn by the torchbearing team from Star Trek?
  13. @osteopathwest good to meet, will be in touch
  14. @Mainser @D_F_Lyons sounds like a good plan
  15. @TinkerbellVicky all paths point to a successive all-British final. Ramy's head and Barker fatigue the factors, he says.
  16. British Open report: Willstrop, Matthew, Barker into semis and a match played like the Nile on heat soc.li/Q6VB7NF #bosquash
  17. An all-British final moves one step closer as Nick Matthew beats Dutchman LJ Anjema 3-1. A mid-match snarl behind LJ's back did the trick.
  18. So, @james_willstrop v @RamyAshour in British Open semi-final on Sat. Last time Willstrop failed to make a world tour s/f came 12 events ago
  19. Think the only reviews Willstrop takes in these days are book ones and not video replays. Leads 2-0 v Shorbagy.
