Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSemantics acknowledged here, but overrated is a pejorative in this context. GHS is a grood team and a great program. The fault lies with CIAC’s ridiculously arcane seeding system. Glastonbury (and especially Suffield, Shelton, and Southington) were all over seeded thru no fault of their own.
at some point you are actually going to have too play a quality team- just depends how soon

Yes GK make mistakes and when it happens no one feels worse about it than they do. Pathetic that adults are going after her. Many may not realize the reason our state finals are shared in the event of a tie, rather than PKs, is because a number of years ago a GK committed suicide after losing in the final.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYou’re correct, the story about a goalie in CT committing suicide is not the reason for no PK’s in the final. The real reason is that an 81 year old referee with a beer belly and a limp (the norm for CT HS soccer) sadly had a heart attack chasing down an errant pk attempt. It put a real scare into the geriatric referee crowd, so the CIAC in all their great wisdom made the decision.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThat's a bunch of nonsense. The real reason for the change is the same reason so much else has changed in Youth Sports. Parents are unable to accept losing , and will do almost anything these days. Threats , physical violence, intimidation, lawsuits, on and on and on. It starts at the younger ages , it is a culture of absurdity.
