    Post BOTN Censored Posts Here

    Wanted to start a thread to prove what a fraud LM is. He anonymously posts disparaging things about people and clubs that he can't shake down.

    When you post something there that you feel he may not approve simply cut and paste the text box and post here a few hours later when you are sure you've been censored.

    The more we expose this creep for who he is the better off everyone will be when they understand his motivations are to sully his advertisers competitors and destroy the reputation of honorable organizations and coaches.

    From DA thread:

    So, I just returned home from the LaLiga promises tournament as I brought my son to cheer on his friend who plays for NYCFC's team. The first game was against Barcelona and NYCFC played a great game only losing 1-0. There was a small group of kids and a few parents sitting next to us all wearing barcalona jersey's and a guy with them wearing a barcalona track suit cheering for the team from barcelona, but they were obviously american kids. I struck up a conversation with one of the guys and found out the the boys were all kids who had been selected for the new barca academy in ny and the guy in the track suit was the coach. What happened next is what I found interesting. So the game ends and one of the coaches from the la masia team comes and gets all the kids and parents in that little section and they get a escorted right past security to where the team is staged and it's hugs and high fives all around. I for one thought this barca ny thing was a joke, but after seeing this i'm not so sure. there was obviously some sort of connection here.
    Duh, this thread and others are full of lies about this new academy. This is run by FCB, not a franchise and not located on a toxic site. That's called obfuscation people designed to keep you away but they failed miserably as hundreds of kids were at tryouts. Look at their Facebook or Twitter pages for tryout pictures of you have doubts.

    This is fantastic for LI. soccer and will be a feeder into the MLS DA programs.

    BTW FCB has a Park Avenue office in NYC anyone can call if you have questions about their USA operations.

      I've had countless posts - none particularly disparaging or harsh but quite factual - not approved. I'm not on the site any longer because of it (other than a necessary look at the tryouts page which is helpful). His editorial power over posters and his own obvious biases have driven away readers. The content isn't even interesting any longer.

        I don't get it, honestly what's the point? Don't most people know by now that Botn is 1% useful info, 99% junk? I actually come to this site to have decent, civil convos about soccer, but it seems every thread has some nonsense about Larry Miller or his stupid site. Who gives a crap?

          Good point. Hasn't helped Surf with anything to talk about.

            I am looking forward to reading potentially censored posts from BNOT. I go here for news and opinions and very, very rarely go to the other place.

              To be honest, I do think LM helped Surf get some buzz in the beginning but obviously it came back to bite everyone in the arse. I thought about checking it out for a minute, when they said they were aligning with KK Atletico. But then that sort of fizzled real fast and Surf started posting on FB some of the players they had acquired. Suffice to say, their recruiting efforts were less than impressive.

              That's not to say that Surf didn't get some good, even great, players...because they did get a few, just not enough to build anything substantial.

                Larry refused to post my honest question about what people thought about new Red Bulls Regional RDS teams for 2007 and 2008 because he thought it was "pay to play". as if all teh clubs on his site aren't fee teams. i guess what he meant was Red Bulls refuse to pay him for ads. Ridiculous

                  Larry blocked my IP address a few times, too bad for him the Tor Browser blows right through that.

                      I remember a couple of years ago when LM was doing Gary's bidding by pee-ing on the WYSL and trying to rabble-rouse and get clubs to move to NYCSL.

                      Our team considered it and I remember working up the numbers and posting that NYCSL would be net $700 more expensive per team per year. Close to 60% more expensive. At the time, for U12 the WYSL charged $1100 for fall/spring and provided all organizing and 1 ref per game.

                      For $700 more you got the nycsl website, 3 refs per game and the double edged sword of being able to play on Sat or Sun at time of the host team's choosing.

                      Anyways, botn wouldn't post my write up because it would show that nycsl was more expensive ...even though I mentioned that the competition at the D1 levels was much stronger and that my team would be moving there for that.

                        The absurdity and delusional posts about NY Surf getting ECNL or GDA is beyond!!! I posted about parents taking a look at the ECNL website to see what type of records the clubs that are admitted have and it got censored. I guess my pointing out that Surf doesn't even have the age groups, let alone any record worthy of mentioning was frowned upon. But I can't with these people anymore, they need just a hint of a clue. They're embarrassing themselves now.

                          The biggest issue I have with BOTN - is Larry knocks some clubs and black list them from posting anything on his website. Take a look at this NY Forum - you see tryout list from HBC and I personally know Larry doesn't allow certain clubs to post tryouts on his forum. Why do we even entertain BOTN anymore!

                            He altered one of my posts once. It was a very short sentence, just a few words. So when it showed up as two sentences it was so obvious. Posted anonymously of course :). So not only does he outright censor but he edits other posts to his liking. Too funny

                              I don't know how this post lipped past LM in a continued effort to slam Barca

                              Barca is not paying for advertising on BOTN. Surf did I think. So this is not complicated why they are treated differently

                              :) :) :) :)
