I’ve maintained I wish my son’s ECNL team was able to play against AU. Not because his team is better, because they are not, but would provide a competitive game for AU and a great experience playing against the best team in town for us. If anything my beef is with ECNL for letting AU partially into ECNL. Plus we only get 18 ECNL games instead of 20, so cheapens it a bit.
I got away from “worrying about my own club” by pontificating why AU might not want teams in ECNL at u13 and u17. And I’ve brought it up a few times over the months in different ways, so of that I am guilty. It was coming from a place of wanting the most for my son, and by extension the most for my club.
The notion of needing to worry about only one’s own club crosses my mind every time you say something about another team’s style ever since you told me to go pound sand. Perhaps it’s friendly tactical advice in hopes a team’s coach will read it and make adjustments for the better, but it doesn’t come across that way. Hell, you seem to know your stuff and there’s a good chance what you’re saying is correct. There is just more disparaging of other specific teams than I care to see, from anyone for that matter.
I’ll start with no more shots from the peanut gallery, so apologies. I think we all need to swallow our pride, let more go, and get back to sharing information. Or talking about Covid. Or Trump.

How did the boys UFA vs GSA games go on sunday? Which age group? Most of the teams/clubs are now posting scores in a timely manner now that TGS seems to be working...for the most part. www.ecnlboys.com/conference-schedules/ |

UFA VS AU
15s 1-1
UFA was leading the entire game. Had a lot of great chances, Atlanta had possession most the game. UFA gave up a counter and got scored on around 60th minute. UFA should have won the game.
16s - didn’t watch. Heard they tied
19s - pretty equal game. Back n forth. Both teams played nicely. Was quiet crowd.
Not much crowd noise until UFA was awarded a pk and went up 1-0.
UFA was without a top player who the rumor is headed to Atlanta United.
Even game. Talent level was equal for sure.

And the AU 17s lost to Charlotte Start the excuses.... And don’t say Atlanta United doesn’t care about winning. They sure do embrace when they do win. Winning only matters when they win... UFAs 19s again were the better side. UFA 15s did what they needed and should have won, got the tie. |

But I’ve watched the game for close to 40 years. Lots of quality players at UFA. 19s and 15s for UFA are well coached teams. Obviously UFA doesn’t have the depth of AU. Just sick and tired of players not at AU not being recognized as quality players. Not all the best players are at Atlanta United nor are the best coaches. |

Why did Atlanta United send there 08s to play UFAs 07s today?
Where were their 07s? Out with COVID?

Any of the top 5-6 should be able to handle them easily even if two players got sent off. Would love to hear that story... Also if you are those kids do you even make the trip to Nashville or just return to Atlanta with your tail between your legs?? |

I’m aware of TN’s record - they have lost 5 of those games by 1 goal, including a road loss to CF Platinum 3-2. Anything can happen if CF Platinum is down 2 key players, so a draw on the road is not out of the realm of possibility. I am wondering about today’s CF Premier/TSC game largely because my friends at Premier won’t respond to my texts asking how they did. |

I’d like to hear that double red card story too (they also had 8 yellows!). Alabama refs have been discussed in previous threads - CF Premier gets them tomorrow and that team collects cards at a higher rate than Platinum, even in Atlanta! |

My 05 Platinum buddy says there was a challenge in the box late in their 2-3 loss that could have gone either way (foul/dive) and a couple of players really let the ref have it after the game/they lost...so they were post-game profanity reds. Which is no bueno if you are the coach or their parents. Also said there were only 2-3 yellows during the game, not 8. |

I heard GSA 08 and 07 teams have played SSA and LSA in the past week. Anybody know how those games went? Both LSA and SSA 08s have beaten AU 08s so I would imagine those were good match-ups. |

I don’t believe SSA beat AU (08’s) this year - they lost both games pretty bad.
I do believe LSA beat AU though. I’d be curious on how LSA did against GSA too.

We had a very bad experience last week in Alabama. Refs were one sided to the point their players apologized after the game! Just glad we got out of there without any severe injuries.

Administering RC's for using foul, abusive language are the easiest to administer (and hopefully are not being excused in this forum). If I hear any kind of abusive language, slur, etc, directed to any player, coaches, parents, I expect the referee to issue a RC. Administering a YC for Entering the field without permission is also another one that should not trigger any discussions. Likely the referee will want to give an early warning prior to issuing a YC as many players carelessly step on the field without permission. Avoiding these cards are simple - don't using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or gestures and don't enter (or leave) the field without referee's permission. During a substitution, it means to wait for the substituted player to come off the field. |

Avoiding these cards are simple - don't using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or gestures and don't enter (or leave) the field without referee's permission. During a substitution, it means to wait for the substituted player to come off the field. Most of the time the players run on the field at the same time that the others run off. Some refs make them wait and some don't. In the years I have watched the kids play I would say over 80% of the time they run on. If the ref asked them to wait then fine, but to issue a yellow without warning the player is ridiculous. These are kids, not pros. Heck I just watched the ACC championship earlier today and guess what...the line changes happened with the players all running on at once with their subs running off simultaneously. Abusive and foul language is an offense that can be red carded but most of the time is also not done without warning unless it is egregious. I think the point of the number of cards given for a youth game shows me that this ref was on a power play. Especially given the one sided nature |

I once saw a player get injured during a hard tackle. No foul called, player started crying. Ball had already moved to the other side of the field. Ref didn’t notice the injured player, who walked off field holding what turned out to be a broken arm. Ref finally noticed the blubbering player on the sideline walking to the bench, stopped play and ran over to give her a yellow. This was I think around u14 girls. Nice!
