D'Feeters Kicks Bringing the "Thug" Back to Soccer
Enough said.
At what point does LHGCL start looking at this nonsense and take action against teams?

There have been matches past and present that have accumulated more than that... several factors go into it as well, sometimes it's the referee that blows the whistle on everything, sometimes it's a single player that made a comment and pissed the referee off, sometimes it's the referee trying WAY too hard to control the game. However, there is no rule on how aggressive a team plays. There are a few teams out there that play nothing but aggressive and really have no ability to possess and then they win on that "thug" style of play. It's not just taught but it's how the teams are built - big aggressive fast players with "some" skill and no team skills. Pulling jerseys, grabbing arms, playing the body and not the ball, playing through players and jamming in the back - all the while swearing and being snots. Guess what? No rule saying how aggressive a team should be on the field. No rule saying a team can't get 4 yellow cards in a game. However, at some point, the accumulation rule may get them but until they've accumulated enough cards they continue to play the way they're taught to play.

Re: D'Feeters Kicks Bringing the "Thug" Back to Soccer
Right SOS that is exactly what I said. What is exactly is LH suppose to do? Show me a rule that says a team can only have so many yellows before the village people come to stone them. Remenber when you were on the playground and you got pushed down, then got back up and continued to play?SickofSilliness wrote:KC now condoning dangerous play . . . nice

That would be something I might report to the league.

It has been and also to their coaching staff who at least appeared to be pretty ticked but could have just been a show...

Hopefully, a report will be filed by the team. Maybe someone from the LHGCL Exec Board can go watch a game.
"If the LHGCL Executive Board receives word through the referee reports, written complaint by a team, or a commissioner that there is a team that is disruptive from the sidelines or out of control on the field, the manager, coach and/or team may be required to appear before the A&D Committee for investigation, regardless of the number of cards accumulated by the team."

I might start with a little note to the D'Feeters DOC. This sounds like a problem that needs to be reviewed at the club level first.

The village people sing gay happy songs...they don't stone anyone.

Re: D'Feeters Kicks Bringing the "Thug" Back to Soccer
I didnt say pushing and elbows was a great way to play. Just that once the cards were given the rules were satisfied. If you want it to stop then the reds have to start coming out. Accumulation has to kick in.SickofSilliness wrote:Actually, KC, there are rules in place.

And there are rules in place that allow LHGCL to step in, look at what is going on, and do more than just "allow the refs to handle it"
If your daughter and her team were repeatedly assaulted on the field, you would be satisfied if no cards were pulled and no other action taken? I mean, it is within the referee's discretion to pull a card, right? If a referee decides not to pull a card, the rules are still satisfied.
And if you re-read my post, I said punches, elbows, and tripping. Don't see why you feel a need to change my words to minimize what was going on.

Re: D'Feeters Kicks Bringing the "Thug" Back to Soccer
Look I feel you man, your kid is getting abused and you want some answers. You are not satisfied that cards were given you want someone to go and tell Feet that they better straighten up and quit playing so "rough" (ie punches, elbows and tripping). Not going to happen. You can lodge your complaint and they will look into it. Problem is everything about a foul is somewhat subjective. It should be objective, but it cant be. Everytime someone hits the dirt its not a foul. Refs make judgement calls and a ton of them mind you per game. My DD is a keeper and she has been run into and pushed down and stepped on. Hey it is a sport you know. Do some kids take it that step further? Absolutely they do. Is that right? No but it depends on who you ask. The game gets more and more aggressive the older the kids get. Now you have some very big and strong aggressive girls going aftet that ball. Both coaches told them to not lose it. Guess what? Someone is hitting the dirt. Not trying to minimize your argument, but come on man, at least have a good one.SickofSilliness wrote:KeeperCommander wrote:I didnt say pushing and elbows was a great way to play.

Re: D'Feeters Kicks Bringing the "Thug" Back to Soccer
The league tells the referees to let the kids play. Sometimes this is taken to extremes in no calls where unnecessary risk of injury is quite apparent. Until the league emphasizes with the referees that cards need to be pulled for dirty play, then it will continue.
As the skill levels of other teams have been raised over the years, and this team has tumbled down the rankings, I would expect their dirty play to become a greater problem over time. It is unfortunate that someone will experience an unnecessary significant injury from the actions of this team that lacks soccer skills and has unethical coaching. It will happen, it is a matter of time.

Re: D'Feeters Kicks Bringing the "Thug" Back to Soccer
Not sure why you are minimalizing the assaults - maybe your daughter carries on this behavior and you encourage it. Maybe you enjoy watching kids go at it MMA style.
If you go back and read the posts instead of making this into your own commentary of what is an appropriate level of aggression on the soccer field - no where did I ever reference someone "hitting the dirt", being "pushed down", a goalie being stepped on, or big strong girls going after the ball. So yes, you are minimizing it.
From the previous poster, we can also add offensive language. Unless you don't think calling an opponent the "n" word is offensive, a red card in that situation is not "objective" (as opposed to a "stern talking to").

In another tournament the parents were screaming at their players to punch the goalkeeper in the face.

In KC's world, he would not have had a problem if it happened against his daughter - it's all just "rough" play. If the ref saw no need to do anything, what's the complaint?

Re: D'Feeters Kicks Bringing the "Thug" Back to Soccer
Nope you just said yellow cards in your original post. No explanation just yellow cards. Can you believe it? What else could one expect to be given a yellow for? Bad thoughts?SickofSilliness wrote:Your categorization of throwing punches and intentional elbows to the head as "rough play" is seriously concerning.

There should be no opinion used to make that call I mean..
Also No I do not condone nor do I encourage such behavior in my DD. She gets pushed she knows the next time to be ready. She remembers players and she knows what to expect from them. She is a big girl and can take care of herself.

Re: D'Feeters Kicks Bringing the "Thug" Back to Soccer
Lots of teams like this from every club it seems. Not new to the world of soccer. Cant judge a sport off of a few bad apples though.WhatMyEyesSee wrote:Let's be clear, this Kicks team has always engaged in dirty play and the parents have always been what they are.
