Holy fcuking shit Dude.
Nothing like creating a power fcuking keg debate on a Monday morning eh?
I will touch on it briefly as you mentioned me in your post.
It will be brief because you do not even fcuking want to get me started on how I feel about youth soccer and the Indo Canadian community.
I've seen absolute bullshit in three situations.
Coaching my oldest kid's team and the league he played in.
My youngest kid's team (With mini-Dude as you mentioned).
And being on the Executive of SYSA.
Fcuking tragic and inexplicable really.
Now, this is about men's soccer and I'm unsure if your comments regarding 'domination' are really fair Dude.
I don't give a fcuk who you are, there are too many talented players out there from various ethnic backgrounds to say one community should be dominating.
It's a global game and all backgrounds are good at it.
One year you could be tops, the next year you could be last.
The problem as I see it though in any ethnic side is politics and nepotism.
That's why I feel a lot of times it doesn't work.
On any regular side, the type of bullshit T talks about simply would not be tolerated.
Teams would rather be demoted and not get any silverware than to deal with politics, nepotism and prima donnas.
You don't make a match without showing respect and calling?
You are fcuking done.
Have a fcuking seat, sit your ass on the pine for two matches, and we might,
might, consider getting you in on the third game.
You don't want to train and let down your 6 mates who fcuked their evening up and showed up for a useless tit practice?
Again, fcuk off, and you can now prove why we should even consider playing you this Sunday.
But, because your Dad happens to be President of the Croatian Cultural Centre, or your Uncle is the owner of the Greek restaurant that sponsors you, or because whatever, you still have your job for Friday night and the rest of the year.
It simply is not tolerated on non-ethnic teams.
I apologize for this actually not being brief
and especially to the Indo lads here on
TTP who I certainly don't want to pick on or alienate for that matter but yes, you need to get your house in order first.
And, as long as your priorities are winning your own community tounaments, where you do not invite other sides to compete, you are only going to measure up against yourselves which at the end of the day, again sorry to say, means fcuk all.
I hear you Kokanee about the school bit, but where are your 24-34 year olds then?
I don't get it.
It then goes back to Dude's arguement on poor management then on player selection.
My two bits,
