They were bottom of the age let's see if this season they have girls that are the same age for DC to play against.

Why would you "feel the need" to criticize the club? Shouldn't you just take your win and move on with your life?

Is this the sentiment that Metro parents or coaches feel about criticism? This criticism seems fair even though poorly communicated by PP. It doesn't mean there ins't a valid reason for what PP saw, just means PP saw what he saw.

and parents trashing certain players is just pathetic - the lowest...

I think it is more of why do you even care enough to comment. It honestly never, ever occurred to me to go on a website and criticize another club after a game. I honestly just don’t get it. There have been lots of games where opposing parents were terrible, or a coach but I never felt compelled to post about it.

It is a game, kids play, some teams/clubs are better than others and that’s the end of it. And, frankly, if my kids team won any criticism of the other team seems at best unsportsmanlike and at worst punching down.

And then on top of it, the piling on of a new club and the fact that a new club in higher level leagues struggles is also baffling. I’m not exactly sure what Metro has done to garner so much animosity.

"and parents trashing certain players is just pathetic - the lowest..." You must be going back to something not recent. I haven't seen any "trashing" of a certain player in this post. You must be very sensitive to that player. Take a deep breath!

And of course you are willing to share your kids team since trashing the team isn’t a big deal and to complain about that would just be being to sensitive.

EVERY TEAM GETS TRASHED! Sometimes it's earned, sounds like in your case it might be.

Why does it all end in "name your team!" ?

No, not really, but you are unwilling to share your team so that people can share their opinion and I get that.

Just don’t tell people they are being so sensitive when you went out of your way to criticize them and admit your DDs team was an opponent but won’t share the team your DD is on.

That is the point. You feel justified in criticizing the play of 13 year old kids while hiding behind your own anonymity. You hide behind anonymity and call other people overly sensitive.

Maybe by you. You make it personal. What happen with you and MU? My DD is at a big club top team. I hope MU does well. It gives more options and keeps girls playing. These teams on the big clubs in the “elite” leagues are not a meritocracy. I see girls come into our practice and they could easily replace many starters. It does not happen for many reason but not soccer reasons.

You have me confused with others, I’m not poster of big and small comment. You may not like the critique... and?

If a person is going to criticize 13 year old kids anonymously they should not say someone is being to sensitive by it. If you think they are being to sensitive then say the team and game and stand up and own the criticism. Anything less is just cheap pot shot by a coward.

You brought up a certain player when none was mentioned. What triggered your need to post about that certain player? That is the definition of sensitivity.

DP—I’m lost. Who is the certain player? It looks to me like the argument was about the relentless trolling against this club for no reason. That argument has legs bigger than a world class cyclist.

Going after a team anonymously is going after the players.

If a person is not willing to name the team they are from that gave them such insight to criticize then perhaps it is best to keep it to oneself.

The ability to criticize does not mean one needs to do so, particularly when ultimately you are talking about kids.

Exactly what is the objective in running down a team anyways?

First mention is by a poster that can’t use quotes right.

AGAIN, I am not that poster. You may not like their delivery, that’s OK.

Criticizing a team is not trashing a certain player, just because you say so, but now I am intrigued. Who is this certain player?

If you are not the poster, feel free to ignore the comments then.

Nowhere was it said that "certain players" were trashed. That is not the point at all.

The point is there is no need to criticize a team of 13 year old's period. THEY WERE ALL CRITICIZED COLLECTIVELY. If you win a game, be an adult and move on. Criticizing a team of kids who lost a soccer game is punching down. Please tell me the necessity of criticizing a youth soccer team at all, under any circumstance much less anonymously.

And then on top of it hiding behind anonymity while accusing people of being "overly sensitive" about it all.

But first things first.

Exactly what makes criticizing a youth soccer team online a necessity?
