[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the Indy attack, not sure if it was the so-called slasher, was throwing some reckless checks and got called for a slash to the head.  I didn't see anyone get thrown out. [/quote]

PP Langley parent here.
I can confirm this. Yes it was the same attack/ coach kid.
Yes he is too wild with the stick, nothing new.

Yes a slash, yes hit the helmet, overly dangerous- no. Seen this 1000x before yes- from many players that don’t know how to play D.

Penalty called and that would have been the extent of the rough play.[/quote]

Different Langley parent here.  According to my son, the Indy player was trash talking and skirmishing after game ended but before the handshake line, which resulted in the ref announcing that he is ejected from the NEXT game.  This happened at the scorers table which is why parents are not aware of it.  But from the parent sideline I could hear this player running his mouth the whole game.   For Yorktown's sake, I hope that VEL upholds the ref's decision, so they can have reasonably clean game without one kid trash talking and taking cheap shots all over the field. [/quote]

So gonna call a big BS! on this one.

I peeked in on the Yorktown/ Independence game to see if the kid was playing. I am 99.9% sure the kid was playing today (can anyone 100% confirm?), 
sooooo with the VEL email that went out midweek saying ejections would be enforced I gotta think this was all just BS.[/quote]

N
He played and swung wild on the ride.  Not a great look. [/quote]

Trash player, trash team.  [/quote]

They beat Yorktown[/quote]

the trash label is not referring to their 1-2  in a fall league.  It’s their dirty style of play.  Who slashes somebody in the back after a game is over?  And it’s not just one incident, it’s how this kid and team always plays.   Total trash.    [/quote]

You are entitled to your opinion and I fully support your right to have one.

However, my opinion is that it is “trashy” for someone to disparage a league (VEL), EB, the refs, 25+ other kids, a school, parents etc. on an anonymous message board, when I have seen with my own eyes that this team is no worse then their opponent yesterday. In my opinion Yorktown had more illegal hits, more trash talk and trying to start a fight after the game.

You gave us your opinion and it will not change, we get it. You don’t need to repeat it post after post.

Can we get back to VEL Black?

It seems like you ran off the OP and his analysis. With that gone I would like a productive conversation. [/quote]

I am not the poster calling the kid trash, and nobody is disparaging VEL, EB, or the refs, but you gotta admit this one player has a well earned reputation for dirty play.  do you think that his style of play is okay?  Be honest and for once, don’t deflect by complaining about someone else.  [/quote]

First, It is not your place to demand anything from me or tell me how to respond. Am I clear on that? Please be respectful.

Next, I disagree about your statements. There have been comments on this board saying that "if VEL does not suspend him" etc. Well EB was very clear in his email this past week that any suspensions will be upheld. The kid was NOT suspended, therefore the PPs in my book lied about the situation. This casts doubt and disparagement about VEL, EB , Refs etc. That is the way I see it and I do not appreciate it at all.

Further, comments have been toward one player and then expanded to include the whole team and then the parents. Other kids and parents are not responsible for one kids actions. No more then you are responsible for your siblings, coworkers, friends actions. To lump people together like that is a sign of a feeble mind.

More so, I saw part/ most of the Independence game this week. Yorktown WAS to dirtier team all around- hits, mouth and trying to pick a fight at then end of the game. It is a fact and I saw this with my own eyes.

Finally, since you asked> [b]"do you think that his style of play is okay?"> NO, I do not. In fact, when I saw the post game incident on video I was one of the first ones here to say that he should be suspended and of the opinion that it should have been for the rest of the season. I was hoping it would be several games (3-5) at the minimum[/b].

Now, your question was about one player and you have your answer about my opinion. I am saying to keep it to that. Calling into question the character and making disparaging statements of VEL, EB, refs, other players and parents crosses a line and I will say something about it.

dirtiest player in Northern Virginia, by far[/quote]

My question is.... how does his father (who is the head coach at Indy) allow the kid to act and play like that... First how do you allow it as a parent, second how do you allow it as a professional coach? [/quote]

because that is how dad plays? from what i hear
professional coach? I would not call ANY HS coach a professional coach!  Its the peter principal in action.[/quote]That's funny, because I was about to say I wouldn't call hs fans as having the competence to judge most high school coaches.  The Peter Principle (note the spelling, numnutz) for loudmouths, as it were.  [/quote]
