FC Bucks 2006 ECNL - Girls

[Unregistered]

Im one of the players on this team. I’m not gonna say my name or number but I’m sure you figure out who I am or not. Lol. I wasn’t on either FC Bucks team when this started and my mom or dad wasn’t in the meeting people are talking about. I made this team fair and square and I’m tired of people talking crap like I didn’t deserve it. all the girls on this team are really good. We should have try outs so we can shut all these people saying crap up. I do wish we had more practices so we could get better and win more. I know people are saying lots of stuff about coach Brian too. He is really nice and his daughter is really goods. But sometimes it seems a little unfair. Especially when you don’t get to play as much as you want.

Tell your coach you think the team should practice more. Maybe he needs to hear it from you. And what exactly are you finding unfair? Glad you posted.

Um coach, I think it stinks that your daughter starts and plays the entire game, every time. Plus, she takes all of the corners and free kicks, dribbles all day long, and you never yell at her. Whenever one of us turns the ball over, we are taken off of the field. Why is your daughter encouraged to try anything with no negative consequences and you always kill us for it? Not to mention, I can run circles around her offensively and defensively and kill her every time in practice in the 1v1s (like everyone else does). It doesn't seem fair! OK, I will sit there on the other end of the bench.

Maybe he just needs to do his ****ing job. We pay his ****ing salary. We pay for him to show up 2-3 times a week. Where is my ****ing refund FC Bucks!!!!!

How many girls on this team are paying for extra training outside of the club? Is this just "putting in the extra work" as they say, or is it just making up for what isn't being provided by the club because of the dynamic duo of no-show coach and dad coach.

Looks like nothing has changed since the days of the cyclones. So glad we left this team and the club.

Because my daughter is better than yours! Go play at Delco if you don’t like it. BB

Wow! Newish to the thread but from what I’ve read this BB guy is a FREAKIN GENIUS!! Holy Sh**. This is mind blowing!

If I’m understanding correctly he managed to get a group of 11 kids parents together plus his own kid and her friend - he then formed an ECNL team and became the coach of that team. And he has no license or qualifications other than high school soccer?? But he never told the parents he would be the coach? And he’s on the board of the club! No wonder he now holds all the cards - he ensured the parents wouldn’t complain bc he was the one that put their kids on the team. And even if they want to complain there is no way he won’t find out. Now parents are realizing they made a deal with the devil and can’t get him off the sidelines. Wow! You play with fire you get burned. Good luck getting rid of him - you are going to need it.

Does he make his living as a con man?

That’s like saying that the orange moron Trump knows what he’s doing.

Maybe but BB is still on the sidelines, still coaching, still giving his daughter prime positions and play time, and still calling all the shots.

Sounds to me like he knows what he’s doing and knew all along what he was doing. You all were pawns in his game of chess.

He’s a Freakin Genius a manipulative genius but a genius none the less.

Hello everyone - let me introduce myself. My name is Brian Brossman. I have been following this thread for some time and its been quite sad for me to read. However, I have remained silent as a few of you have anonymously brought up my name and spread rumors about me, misrepresented my qualifications, and attacked my character - all of this I can take, it is what I signed up for when I agreed to volunteer hundreds of hours of my personal time for this group as the team manager, and as an Assistant Coach at the request of Coach Finneyfrock.

However I will no longer stay silent as one of you have decided that my daughter is now fair game for your childish banter. I will not even dignify your ridiculous assertions regarding her playing abilities with a response. Feel free to talk about ME all you want on the sidelines, in your text strings, on this forum, or better yet have the decency to speak to me in person, but keep my daughters name out of your mouth.

Let me set the record straight on a few things:

1) I have NO say in the personnel decisions of this team. Coach Rich decides who plays where, when, and for how long. He conveys that to me and asks me to tell the girls at times.
2) I do NOT make game time coaching decisions regarding formation, style of play, or tactical changes. Coach Rich will discuss these things with me and HE makes the final call. He will often tell me to communicate certain things to players on the field during the game. Anyone who knows Coach Finneyfrock can tell you - NO ONE influences Rich. He calls the shots. Period.
3) In August Rich has asked me to be on the sidelines for game and at practices as his Assistant. I reluctantly agreed - but am happy to do so to help him, and the girls. I handle all of the logistical aspects of the sideline for Rich (ex: dealing with referees, game day paperwork, passes at begin & end of halves, first aid kit, tending to injured players, etc.) so that Rich can focus on the game.
4) I was NOT an evaluator at the TRYOUTS. Rich Finneyfrock, John McGinley and several other Professional Coaches handled they TRYOUTS. I was at a table signing kids in and handing each player a t-shirt. I then handed the list of players to the coaches and began signing in the next group.
5) Contrary to one comment - I have my “F” and “E” coaching licenses. I am hoping to get my “D” license this year. I played soccer for 17 years before 3 knee surgeries sidelined my career early. I have also coached soccer for 15 years.
6) I have NEVER and WILL NEVER “put my thumb on the scale” for MY children or anyone else’s. Players earn their place on teams based on their own playing ability. Feel free to ask my two older sons who did not make their respective ECNL teams and are still playing for USYS level teams.

To the lovely parent who stated that people have to “Kiss the Ring” - you should be utterly ashamed of yourself for typing that. Please check yourself - you seem to be doing a lot of deflecting. Don’t put your labels on me without actually speaking to me its misguided and gutless.

I have had lovely conversations with every parent on this team - which saddens me further, because that means someone has smiled at me and been perfectly kind to my face - but has been smearing my name behind my back. Please know that I have never held the feelings, behavior, or comments of a parent against their player. Its not something I believe is fair to the player and is not something our club believes in either.

I encourage you to PLEASE raise your issues with me in person. I am a big-boy, I can handle tough feedback, but for goodness sakes - at least give me a chance to provide an answer to your questions or a counter-viewpoint to your accusations. Posting your beef in this forum is like yelling into a canyon. What is your end game? I hope you are finding no joy in tearing people down - thats too easy. Taking anonymous pot-shots online - too easy. Despite your negativity I will continue to try to rise above and build people up.

Please know, I am extremely proud of this team, this club, and this group of parents. I look forward to seeing this team play and improve and achieve at this level and beyond.

Have a great weekend!

Just give him a beat down and see if he keeps it up.

The fact that exchanges like these are even happening on a site like this shows how poorly managed FC Bucks are as a club. This is crazy, and should have been nipped by the DOC
or club leadership. It’s also nuts to see coaches responding to this nonsense. These posts don’t justify a response, especially by people that are supposed to be coaches in what’s considered one of the best leagues in the country. FC Bucks are arguably the worst run club in the ECNL. Players have lots of potential, but there is no leadership to be found from anyone at the club.

Another repost regarding the genius’s post.

If you take the one council rock girl too we will throw in a very special bonus. Hint . . . If Chris Edwards gets the flu 3x he can fill in as coach.
