      The police blotter don't lie though.
      with the recent news though, it seems that town has much bigger issues with their pd than some overzealous coach/cop protecting his boozing star. Corruption top to bottom there.

        2. People who post about the virtues of athletic players think they have one.
        3. People who float theories about candidates for coaching jobs are the candidates.
        4. Everyone thinks they're Jurgen or better.
        5. Excuses for one club are violations of another.
        6. Close games are only telling when it's your kid's club.
        7. Everyone's kid can play D1 at the school of his/her choice.
        8. The crazies are limited to other clubs, not your kid's.
        9. Informational postings are free advertisements.
        10. Posters' kids are the best, game changers, superstars, but have been overlooked and under-appreciated.
        11. NT invites are useless if your kid didn't get one.
        12. Id opportunities go to undeserving kids.
        13. Listing of kids' initials is by a parent of one of them.
        14. Every club other than your kid's is unprofessional, violates league rules, and fails to develop great players.
        15. Winners of polls of clubs and schools correlate with the number of posters from those clubs and schools.
        16. Postings should be made to run clubs into the ground.
        17. Critical postings of clubs are from parents of kids who were cut or couldn't make the team or see rule 16.
        18. Everyone is an expert on other clubs.
        19. Losses are never because your kid's team was not as good.
        20. Goals for are spectacular; goals against are flukes.
        21. Be cruel and unprofessional at all times about kids of all ages because it is an anonymous board.

        And this is why no board should be anonymous.
        I read through some of the threads and thought it was worth reposting where this started. It is remarkable how one of the 40 plus rules can describe every posting. I didn't come up with a rule, but I congratulate those that did.

          This thread deserves to get bumped. I read it at the time and didn't buy into it, but the 40+ rules describe what Talking Soccer has become.
