Say bye-bye-bye to Girls and Boys DA

I've been one of your biggest advocates on the Goats FC side, and try to focus on your root message in the midst of all the tangents you go on. You advocating for the consumer (player / parent) is a good message but these tangents you go on often make it very hard for anyone to take you seriously.

I'm sorry if someone has negatively commented on your DD, that is not cool. But please do not lump me into that, I only know your daughter as a player and have nothing to say about her, it's not my place.

Stay safe, best of luck to you and your DD.
BS. Lunch went faster than I thought Come clean bro with the soccer family. You just said earlier you knew very little of my goat and added "The List." That hurt you bro and hurt me too. This is not and has never been about anyone's kid but mine. I came here to share the sh*t she had to go through brah!!! There lies my problem with you. That BS List they floated around in 2017 has always been my point of contention. Read my posts. I keep talking until things change if you haven;t noticed. The club your at also benefited with that list. Just admit that tech. Do you understand me now? Do you get that? Why bring up Kicker and all that with "The List?" and all the one trick fast pink ponies who have just one trick ((speed)) that mine was always accused of when she played at Legends and Blues because she scored so many goals against your dd old teams. Please, don;t say you know very little about my dd. That was so weak dude it made me sad. Thanks Tech. No harm no foul and I get you more today than ever.

Wow, just wow. Against my own better judgement:

"The club your at also benefited with that list. Just admit that tech."
Sure, my kids aren't on the list, but if I gather correctly what you're saying, Legends benefited from being DA and has / had girls on the list because of that. No arguments there, I think most people can see that it gave them and others the spotlight to make the list, but that doesn't guarantee anything, still have to show up and prove you're a unicorn.

"Why bring up Kicker and all that with "The List?""
This was intentional to bring up that Kickers kid is on the list because of merit, and I'm highlighting how she is a player above most of the players at her position and a vote of confidence to him and his family for choosing to stay on the route they're on and bank on their kid's ability and proven track record, regardless of what platform she gets spotlighted on. Not a decision made lightly by his family but I would like to see his kid succeed, because I know their family and they're good people.

"Please, don;t say you know very little about my dd"
I know your DD as a player only, I know you only in passing from our brief time sharing the sidelines of Goats FC. You were, in my opinion, a much more mellow individual when our paths crossed in the past. Am I supposed to say that I know everything about your kid and satisfy some sort of ego checkbox for you?

Again you're barking up the wrong tree, but to each his own and feel free to continue.
 
I'm hoping living through Covid persuades a lot of girls (and boys) with thoughts of playing pro soccer to feel inspired to actually make a difference by becoming physicians and medical scientists.
Anyone that plays sports in order to become a professional is barking up the wrong tree. Anyone that plays sports to have fun, develop as a person, develop as a player, maybe create college opportunities that were not there, and to learn life lessons, is on the right path. You will never talk sense to someone who thinks their 7 year old will be the next messi/morgan.

I have no time to read this. I just got word of some breaking news that made my heart sink. I will wait until that is confirmed. Tech, Kicker and the rest, man you guys really want soccer and access. I'm 99.9% about to never come on here. That's just my emtion talking unless the PM was just messing with me. I pray he or she is but I don;t think someone like that would play a hurtful joke like that on a weak and foolish father :(
 
EOTL, you have always been an asshole and you continue to prove it by your posts. No one wants your advice. Going hard after someone's kid is just plain out of line.

Those who could most benefit from advice tend to be those least willing to accept it. Historically, the two of you have been among the most obvious examples. Certainly you were initially far more malicious and patronizing than ElleJustus with your arrogant bullying whenever anyone said something not fitting your narrow-minded point of view. Thankfully, you have been more considerate since a certain someone began using your own tactics to ride you hard right back.

ElleJustus is different in that he has never been malicious like you. Rather, he has taken what was a very useful place to obtain information and single-handedly buried it under a mountain of memes, gifs, and page upon page of self-indulgent self-pitying nonsense manifestos. And I suspect even you understand from his posts that he is one of those parents who constantly screws things up for his kid and lacks the self-awareness to understand it. And you’re the guy who ranted about how your daughter’s HS disrespected her by not letting her attend signing day only a few weeks after you repeatedly trashed her HS soccer team and entire athletic program for not being good enough for her.

Regardless, I’m not going after his kid; I have not said anything he hasn’t admitted himself. But fine, let’s call a truce. Once you go back to blocking me and ElleJustus checks himself into psycho soccer parent rehab, I promise to lay off.

What name will you be using the next time around?
 
Exactly. Was just going to say that.
Many 07’s as a whole will stay put. Galaxy Academy girls who used to play with my DD have been reaching out to the beach staff. I can imagine many in the other age groups as well just for the sake that they don’t want to commute for Slammers or Breakers.

The SB will be a huge monster with Beach. Can’t see ECNL not accepting us in the future especially if there is pro/rel
I totally agree that SB beach is going to be a monster and will get into ECNL. The issue is going to be dividing spots between SB and LB on the elite teams. The SB has so many more teams, players, coaches and $. LB will be step sister and I think SB will go own way and do great.

Tech & EOTL together. How sweet is that. Wow!!! Great post coach. Remember everyone, make sure to follow the coach and then the club. Sage advice for all!!!

Guess what, I read the PM wrong. My comprehension is horrible and I will admit that. I can;t read very well so cut me some slack guys. I do have one Avatar saved for my exit. My sickness in my tummy has now tuned to joy in my soul. Amazing how you read something wrong by one word and it kills you emotionally and it was just a wrong story that caused me to panic.

The question is why ECNL wants to have Beach and Legends slaughter the ECRL teams for a year or two. I mean, they can but what's the point?

Reminds me of the lower level Gold teams that go trophy hunting in copper tournaments. (Except, in this case, the club is innocent and the blame lies with Blues, Slammers, etc.)

I know that some LAFC Slammers coaches are in the SW board in ECNL confirmed by many on here... that could be the case.

Good pt., clearly somebody making decisions doesn't think those teams are going to stick together and go kick ass. Without the DA badge, it looks like ECNL is making a bet that those clubs will not stay as strong. Time will tell.

Hopefully it works out well in the long run for the players, I imagine the clubs / teams taking this bet on themselves in the ECRL will also be watching very closely how ECNL lays out the promotion / relegation system.

Whew. We were on the edge of our seats that the secret information in your possession about how a child’s sport was going to ruin your life forever - and probably that of others - turned out to be a false alarm. Life can be like that. Sometimes the entire course of a person’s life is subject to the whims of a single decision made by a youth soccer coach, DOC or league rep. The immense power they hold to alter the trajectory of an entire family’s life and potentially ruin them forever out of spite or even indifference is too much and needs to be stopped. This is just too important.

Or was this just needy “look at me” narcissism because people weren’t paying attention to your posts?
 
Tech: Wow, just wow. Against my own better judgement
EJ: I like honesty Tech and I appreciate you speaking up.

EJ: "The club your at also benefited with that list. Just admit that tech."
Tech: Sure, my kids aren't on the list, but if I gather correctly what you're saying, Legends benefited from being DA and has / had girls on the list because of that?
EJ: Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Did you see the haul Legends caught in 2017? Where were those players before that year?
Tech: No arguments there, I think most people can see that it gave them and others the spotlight to make the list ((join the club too and pay)), but that doesn't guarantee anything, still have to show up and prove you're a unicorn.
EJ: My dd wasnt trying to be a Unicorn Tech ever. At that time, she hated school like her old man did. Now, she loves school. Different environment saved my dd school life because of people just like you and Kicker in soccer dont think you can;t be successful without a college degree. You sure can;t play past HS if you don't go to college, which is what this is all about btw, not the list just so you know. You know and I know that but the parents of 10 year old don;t.

EJ: How did they get there Tech and would they have gone there without access to the LIST? A simple yes or no on this question is all I need? The year before 2017 Legends lost players to Blues and others just like they did every year.

EJ: "Why bring up Kicker and all that with "The List?""
Tech: This was intentional to bring up that Kickers kid is on the list because of merit, and I'm highlighting how she is a player above most of the players at her position and a vote of confidence to him and his family for choosing to stay on the route they're on and bank on their kid's ability and proven track record, regardless of what platform she gets spotlighted on.

EJ: all good with me

EJ: "Please, don;t say you know very little about my dd"
Tech: I know your DD as a player only, I know you only in passing from our brief time sharing the sidelines of Goats FC.
EJ: We had some cool phone calls too but those I see where in passing. I can see when my dd went to Blues why I was never invited to all the poker parties and fun events because we were chasing championships. It all makes since now and we were just in passing. Nice!!!
Tech: You were, in my opinion, a much more mellow individual when our paths crossed in the past.
EJ: Yes I was and I'm sorry I;m not that sucker anymore like Kicker always said I was. Plus he always said he was better than me and I just hate that kind of talk. I see the two of you are very close and I'm sorry for challenging your friend to questions I;ve had.
Tech: Am I supposed to say that I know everything about your kid and satisfy some sort of ego checkbox for you?
EJ: Not all Tech, not at all. No ego with this guy.
Tech: Again you're barking up the wrong tree, but to each his own and feel free to continue.
EJ: Woof woof woof bow wow. I guess I was a puppy to everyone trying to make friends because I didn;t have any because I couldn't talk to make friends when I was young, so I just talked to God in my mind all the time. Oh well, lonely life on the planet now days. No friends, kickers life is so much better than my life plus now his social is even better. Plus he has friend like you Tech in a time of need and that's what friends are for. I have no friends on FB now or on this planet right now. I'm doing a reboot and will see where my new friends come from.

I don’t know you but you are exactly right especially about Simi and have a great memory about his whinny ass about high school. ElleJ was getting better and now that he can have his cake and eat it too, while many DA players are left without knowing what is happening to their team, I would have thought that he would be a little gracious. I guess I was wrong.

I am sure ECNL parents are gloating that they will be in the top league but the question is whether their kiddo will be bumped by some Carlsbad and Albion players. And this is if there is even a season at all this year which makes me sad for the 03s and 04s that where looking to commit this year. I suspect many won’t play soccer again if there is no fall season. My nieces are having more fun playing basketball which lends itself better to small numbers of people at home.

And while I hated the divide between ECNL and DA at least it gave players more options to play closer to home and at their higher level. Just because someone plays local as opposed to traveling hours to play on a higher level team should not categorize a player as not good enough or not committed enough to make the top level. There are many reasons for this besides playing for the best coach including finances, parent work schedule, parent unwillingness, other responsibilities to the family including care for special needs family members, school demands etc.

Now Beach and Legends will have to play weaker comp to prove themselves (if they stay together) or spend hours commuting. The same with people living in North SD and San Diego where are least while Albion was not great, it filled a distance void. I also noticed some Albion DA players came from Rebels territory which should make for an interesting tryouts. I suspect Carlsbad players played their to be closer to home or where blackballed from Surf. The question is whether they will stick together or bump Sharks players, which I bet all their starters can do easily. it will be an interesting year once soccer starts and sad as well.
