My theory is:

1) parents tired of not seeing their dd play a specific position.
While I do not agree with walking out on your team mid season much less mid tournmanet, I suspect overpromising and under delivering of coach wore thin.

2) parents tired of watching player misconduct of dd's teammates and MG not voluntarily removing players from games after such conduct and attitude towards officials.

So, with the mid fielder departure from Phoenix, how many 98 players are left on the FCD roster?

Barney, you just won't let go of this, will you?

It's not just the responsibility of the player's team manager to turn in the yellow/red card report, but also the responsibility of the opposing team's manager. So the only way the league would not have record of her card total would be if both team's managers failed to turn in the report. So I'd be fairly confident that the league is aware. Either that or there are a lot (based on your third hand info) of opposing team's managers who didn't want to bother with it.

Also, that third hand is usually the worst hand to be spouting off opinions from.

Nutmeg,

So you know the procedure for reporting yellow cards to the league, but it appears you do not know if the third hand comments that an additional card has been earned (by the FC Grubb player) but failed to be reported by both teams is accurate or not.

Can you or anyone shed light on the oringinal inquiry as to what action the leauge takes when a certain number of cards are given to the same player in 1 season? The more I think on it, do any of you knowledgeable folks know what disciplinary action Lake Highlands League and North Texas Soccer have in place for such type of player misconduct and how is it enforced?

3 yellows = 1 game suspension
5 yellows = 2 game suspension
7 yellows = hearing by A&D board
1 red = 1 game suspension
2 red = 2 game suspension
3 red = hearing
Totals are accumlated via the disciplinary reports turned in from each match in which a card was issued.

That may be true, but how is that relevent to this string of whining...since no one involved in this fits this description. MG is an Academy director, but that's it.
To put this all to rest, so we can all move on to (hopefully) start getting some games in tonight...
1) One player has been suspended for a single game for yellow accumulation. If anyone thinks that this will be the only time this ever happens with a '98 girl, please raise your hand.

2) At FCD 98G practice last night, all hands were on deck. So no one has quit.

3) As most on here know, I am not an FCD apologist, nor am I affiliated with MG in any way. However, I do think that a lot of the anonymous vitriol directed towards this one girl (as well as what gets directed towards a certain TFC 98G player) is pretty sad and seems to me to be a bunch of whiny parents losing sight of the fact that, irregardless of size or speed, these are still 12 year old girls you're talking about. If this were your daughter, would you want someone coming on here spouting of third hand information, or passing personal opinions off as fact, yet hiding behind the anonymity of their user name and their "unnamed" sources?
