Dear Readers,
I appreciate the feedback. I am the A.C. Flora Girls Coach.
Last year when I played LR, I played with the minimum number of players on the field. I told the girls at half time to stop scoring and to possess the ball. LR could not get the ball off us, got extremely frustrated, started hacking at my girls, got a few yellow cards, then wanted to fight after the match. The LR parents literally chased my parents out of the stadium. This is not an exageration.
Because I did not want to go through that again, I let my team score goals this year. For the record, I played with a maximum of 8 on the field (the majority of the match we played with only 7) to their 11 and we shortened the 2nd half to 20 minutes.
I have more to say on this if folks are interested, but for now I will leave it at this:
I apologize to the public for appearing to act unsportsmanlike. I can assure you this was not the case. In the future, I will stop the scoring. Would someone like to provide me with a number of goals where I should stop?
Thanks,
Joe Kovaz
