LH - Race to the Finish

Congrats to DTS.

2-4 seem wrapped up as they sit.

Sting West is lucky to have Revolution left on its schedule.

Otherwise, it might be lumped in with what looks like could end up being a 3-4 way tie for the coveted 9th spot. There's a real chance for a playoff game.

first off, thanks for starting a new thread.

I think you meant 1-4 wrapped up. Totally agree. LPE can't catch 1-2 and Fever can't catch LPE. 5pts separate Fever and 5th place. With 3 to play and Fever not playing anyone in the top ten, that's not guaranteed but pretty locked.

lmao ... "Sting West is lucky to have Revolution left on its schedule."
Though to be fair, Revolution has done better than #20's have in the recent past. I mean they've given up like 50 goals? I've seen Goals Against in the 70's and 80's. What are the chances Sting West ties Revolution??

I know that's pure trolling. I take it back. Wait - do I? Hmm - I guess I do. I take it back. I'm sure Sting West will soundly beat Revolution.

Sorry, Sting West parents, a 6 week losing streak sucks. (Let's be honest. A tie to Bean is a loss in your gut even if it isn't on paper especially since they are your 'B' team out West.) I've gone through those when I watched my kids play club soccer. It is no fun. Good news is that you have options. Think about them!

Great investigative reporting on other '05 post under Games of the Week (Mar. 4 & 5). Thank you SA2G. Thought would help you share the love.....hopefully this false "upselling" didn't sway anyone team shopping....

[quote="SoccerAdvice2Go"]“Though it does seem you have a disagreement with me about "the coach". But since my kid was with him for years many moons ago, I'll claim the better knowledge on that. =)”

Ok, Skiberdad, I need to call you out. For someone who always uses the allusive "purposeful" deflection of identify as “heard from a friend”, “mothers sisters cousins niece told me”, “my kid was with him for years many moons ago”, etc. you sure always know so much about Fever.

I have to ask skiberdad who are you really??? I did some investigative reporting and looked back at your post history. I have to challenge your credibility as a Fever stalker and proclaim your actual affinity to the team as a parent or coach of Fever. Just saying….

Let’s see, first, what age are your DDs really and are they/her on Fever – just saying? On you very first post, 7/20/16, you give us a distinguished view of your background. You were a previous soccer coach from the Pacific NW. You have an u12 daughter in Select, another daughter in Rec, and a son that is 15. Then on multiple different posts that seems to change…9/15/16 you post “my daughter left for ECNL years ago, but Kenneth Penn at Fever did this for my daughter for which I will be forever grateful”… WAIT I THOUGHT YOUR DAUGHTERS WERE U12 AND REC BUT NOW THEY ARE IN ECNL?????? 2/28/17 post, “If I'm a parent of a '05G, (Thank goodness I'm not. That was a preteen age I'd just as soon forget) I'd really look hard at giving Penn the chance to teach my kid. He did wonders for my '00.” WAIT ISN’T U12 05????? Again on 9/16/16, you posted on 05 games of the week blog you provided feedback on Club Fees, etc, you said “My daughter knows a girl so I chatted with her dad”…HMMM ASSUME IF YOUR DAUGHTER WAS ’05 IT WOULD MAKE SENSE SHE WOULD KNOW ’05 GIRLS. WAIT IS YOUR DAUGHTER ’05 or ECNL or ‘OO?????? On 9/26/16 post you stated, “my oldest daughter now in college...” SKIBERDAD, I AM SO CONFUSED????? On 9/26/16, you had another post and stated, “Standing with daughter waiting for game later in the day, the only game at UTD that afternoon, ironically was a ’00 LH game. But wait in your first post (less than one year ago) you had a U12 Daughter and a daughter in Rec. ARE THEY PLAYING UP FROM THEIR U12 TEAM OR REC TEAM. THAT IS AMAZING – BUT HA NOT REALLY HUH! On 8/30/05, you posted on 05 Blog regarding JDL/LH team participation, “our coach is not glad. We know their quality and it will be missed.” And just for icing on the cake, on 10/23/16, you posted to an ECNL discussion “…when my daughter went through years ago.” ALL VERY SUSPICIOUS CHANGING OF THE WHO I AM STORY. ARE YOU TRYING TO HIDE BEHIND THE SCREEN AND MISLEAD READERS JUST TO DEFLECT HOW OLD YOUR DDs REALLY ARE AND WHICH TEAM THEY ARE ON? HMMM DOES SHE PLAY ON FEVER? Just saying….

So are you a Fever Stalker or Parent or Coach??? Let’s see more than 60% of your 244 posts are on 05 blogs, 35% on general soccer discussions tied to ‘05. ONE COULD CONCLUDE STALKER, PARENT, OR COACH. 10/11/16 post “Man, I should spend less time at the soccer fields watching games that have nothing to do with my kids......” STALKER FOR SURE. On 3/20 post…”LMAO... no, I don't see many 05 games anymore.” But on 2/28 post, you reference watching part of two of Fever games (Redknapp and Sting West). YOU SURE DO LIKE TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK ACROSS THE BOARD ON TEAMS FOR PERSON WHO DOESN’T SEE MANY ’05 GAMES ANYMORE????? AND YOU SURE DO KNOW A LOT ABOUT FEVER. PARENT/ COACH. BUT MY GUESS IS FEVER ’05 PARENT.

I would refer everyone to my reply.

The amount of glee is a pretty sad display from a bunch of adults.

:shock:

Since I'm being smeared, I thought I'd post here as well.  My response -

lol wow.

I'm glad I have struck such a nerve.  My goodness, I was just agreeing with you in a post!

And the dogpile grows as well! If every has made up their minds, then I suppose there's no reason for me to say anything else, but... I'm a glutton for punishment so here goes.

I do suppose I could be called a "stalker". I don't see many games anymore but I do go see some. I am, by good fortune, a close to retirement executive so I do get a lot of free time - as evidenced by my presence on this board during the day. If I get a chance, I do go by to check in on past loyalties. I've been very open with the fact that I am a Penn fan so if I do go out and watch kids play, why wouldn't it be his? Why would I check in others except maybe a DTS v Selecao tilt? As to why 05, it's his only good team. Why would I go watch his 04 team? Do I pull for Fever? Sure. I've always been not only a fan of his but of the independents.

As for your investigative journaling, has it occurred to you that I could have multiple daughters who have/had multiple friends who aren't necessarily their age? Further, is it not possible that the aforementioned parents of daughters friends could ALSO have daughters of different ages? Personally, my children have an age spread of almost 15 years. So could have an '00 and a '15. I don't, I'm just pointing this out. I've also been unfortunately divorced twice. So I have daughters from multiple wives. I have children in the Pacific NW where I'm from originally. I have two who play here - boy and girl. Oh and by the way one in college and one already out. Clearly, I don't need to explain to anyone here what it's like to have mixed families? Even if you don't have one, you can probably imagine. Just as clearly, I also don't have to feel the need to share my complete life story in every post, right?

I suppose I am probably wasting my time with this, but I giant rant like that shows a real desperation. I'm not sure what drove that, but probably from my criticism of some 05 team. You'll notice that I conceded that Fever midfield could use upgrade based on your observations. If I'm a parent, do I acknowledge that in forum? I guess I could as long as it wasn't my daughter in the midfield, haha! But anyway, point remains that if I'm a Fever parent, I probably don't come on here acknowledging deficiencies. No matter what I said about a team, I've never attacked you so I'm not sure what drives you to attack me. Even if I was a Fever parent, did it really require that kind of rant?

Look - if you don't want to hear me talk about the 05 group, you could just disagree with things I say. Personal attack is probably not the best way to go about it.

For the rest of the folks, I suppose believe what you want. It is a free forum, after all. I don't expect apologies, but maybe just think about what you want to pile on before you do so.

LMAO to both comments.

Just to show that I don't just look at the 05 threads- all that stuff about Garland and lawsuits and whatever was very entertaining. Nevermind that I was so confused by it that I had no idea what it was even about. Still funny.

The biggest smear for all of us, is that we have actually been on this board. Probably should start a recovery group for board addicts.

Well, that may be true, but I'm getting paid at work and I'm surfing this forum so it's probably my boss that needs help.... lol shhhhhhhhhhh!

As an 05 Penn parent (and PROUD OF IT), our girls have been working their asses off to achieve what they have this year! Please don't lessen what they have done by your pissing contest and exorbitant amount of forum research.

While we would love folks to come and check us out, not like this. So skiberdad, thanks for the support but we don't want this kind of controversy.

Poobaby--

I completely respect your position so I will drop this. But I just want to point out I was the one attached.

That being said, out of respect for a Fever parent, I will drop this battle.

Thank you and thanks for all the love!

Sorry just not buying it skiberdad. Another attempt to deflect not working for me. I looked up one of your first posts as well….under If not LHGCL then?, 7/20/16, you state,

I coached select soccer in the Pacific NW. It's not North TX, but at least it's something.
I have a son who is in Developmental Academy right now. Pretty much the highest you can get for a 15yo boy...aside from the US team...hahaha
I have daughter who is U12 and played LHGCL for a year already.
I have a daughter who plays rec.

In the post you just sent defending yourself you seem to have forgotten about you U12 daughter who is playing LHGCL. In your defensive post, you state, “So I have daughters from multiple wives. I have children in the Pacific NW where I'm from originally. I have two who play here - boy and girl. Oh and by the way one in college and one already out.”

So your latest response is multiple children from multiple wives but you incriminate yourself again saying you have a daughter that plays here. Well back in your July post you did tell us you had a daughter U12 playing in LHGCL. Hmmmm – could it be U12 Fever Team. I guess the readers need to make their own guess. Just saying…I believe the issue/attack SA2G has is about the purposeful deception you are trying to provide to the forum readers to sway toward the Fever club. Shame you.

Hmmm. . . sounds like a riddle

The country really needs you to focus your investigative skills on this Russia/Election thing. If that's not possible, your employer would like the pay you received for the last three hours back.

An over-involved helicopter parent with under-developed social skills who lives vicariously through the achievements of his children to compensate for his own lack of athletic prowess and success (among other things)...

Oh, wait... I just described myself...

Maybe I'm really Skiberdad and am just having a Fight Club moment here...

Maybe he is just like everybody else and has like 3 handles he goes by.

I haven't seen this much piling on since 10sDad a few years back.

Those were the days. 10sdad meltdown, then a coach fighting with parents and telling them they were butt hurt.....good times.

Only 3, I know a few on here that have about 5 each. Yeah you know who I'm talking about.

I think Skiber and Rumble are the same person.  Just bored at work and fighting with himself.  I've heard there are only 5 people on this board and each has 20 alias'.

Not to start it all up again but my favorite was the Liverpool coach that was arrested and came on here to say he was found innocent. Who is also now suspended for those same charges right? Great thread.
