I won't have my player play against this team again if that player is on field. My player is strong and tough but too bad. This was second contest we have seen this thug is action and first outing was almost as bad. maybe that is rewarding thugs but I don't care as potential injury is not worth making point.

Just venting. I film the player so I have evidence if needed. Uggg. What. Ant players looking for violent physical confrontation take up boxing or ice hockey or something?

Based upon the first comment, you sound like a coach. But the next comment , you said you’re just venting. A true coach would file a complaint with the league against the player and his coach to prevent/stop this behavior. If you’re a parent, did you talk to your coach about this?

Just happened. Clearly the violent players coach has a hand in the style of play. Obnoxious loud mouth the entire game,. Berating and belittling the players and eventually getting a card. So the player was dangerous but it seems she was encouraged to be so.

My current thinking is to let my teen age player handle it with the caveat that she may not play again against this defender as a forward. My player will have to accept any consequence doled out because of my rule. Oh well. She will have to blame it on me.

When she no longer a minor and is financing her own soccer (and medical expenses), she can decide what to do without any inteference. (Or guidance as I like to call it)

Of course, if she had played at FCV she would have gone straight to the pros/national team.

Exactly. The older FCV girls are absolutly thugs. The problem is - it's entertainment and it works. If that's how you get to the national team - that's exactly what you do. I think they call it "scrappy"! If you are a talented, game impacting player who makes a difference every single game but you stay on your feet - oh well... that's not what the coaches are looking for.

So you’re saying next time this happens Dad will run out and assault the player like at VABeach?

I’d worry more about potential concussions.

There's an old saying, with a lot of truth in it: “Football is a gentleman's game played by hooligans."

Always the gold standard of thuggery. Thanks for introducing real data to this thread.

You mean OP? Yes, I agree. She's absurd.

Exactly. Not quality play and it looks like it accomplished little as they lost the game.

But that said...going out on the field with that player is stupid and not worth it IMO.

You are trying too hard and it is not working.

OP is a nasty drama queen who refers to children as garbage, so I imagine her poor daughter suffers more from her than any opposing player.

Suit yourself. My player will not be tangling with the thug in this post again. She can play soccer - not tackle football. Enjoy!

You missed the quote. Don’t care if your player tangles or not, that’s your prerogative. Don’t know what it does for you to come on this forum to tell us.

Ummmm...this is a soccer forum.
