The St James FC Virginia vs Richmond United Scrimmages

[Anonymous]

FCV are not talent developers. They are talent acqusitioners.

Their coaches range from good to par. I wouldn't classify any as very good. Richie Burke was probabley the best talent developer that they brought in. My opinion.

There are very few great coaches in the DMV that are true talent developers. Of the few, they are spread out. No club has a monopoly on this.

The FCV 05 team would be average if not for them acquiring the two best 05 teams at that time; Loudoun 05 and ODFC 05. (Talent Acquisition). Them beating Richmond is no surprise. It was expected.

The FCV 04 team has a lot of things going on with it that is impacting them in a negative way. Too much parental influence. I'm not surprised they got beat.

The FCV 03 team is a "new" team because DA split the 02/03 age group. The team was probabley top heavy with 02s last year which left the 03s weaker then normal this year.

FCV lost because they got beat. Lots of different factors. None of which had to do with trying out new things. It's the same thing that happened at playoffs.

What would you say about a coach who told kids they are an embarrassment to the DA during the game or afterwards?

people conflate acquisition & team development with talent development. There is overlap with team and individual but, let's not confuse the two.

Does what BP said really matter now? The club twitter feed is back up today. All that really matters.

Any word on comparative futsal prices since the Dt James acquisition?

Correct. Other coaches in the club have said that and worse. Part of #FCVCulture

Not the PP, but at FCV's senior day, the announcer read off each player's favorite quote from a coach and almost all of them were insulting (eg, "that's why you're going to WV, you can't count to 2" or "my grandmother runs faster than you and she's dead") It's an accepted part of the culture at FCV. And obviously there are many parents willing to subject their kids to that kind of abuse because they think the benefits of being part of a winning program are worth it.

Other coaches make comments on appearance. To pre-teen girls no less. 'Slower than grandma' is tame in comparison.

There are zero former ODFC players on the roster. This is someone that knows nothing and must not be part of the club. The 04 comment is shows the poster has an ax to bring against one person that won’t be named.

Did FCV recruit any players from Loudoun's Red 07 or did they stay with Loudoun?

They stayed at Loudoun.
