I've said it for years. Instead of starting a "New League", where new teams have to be formed & sponsors found with deep pockets, it would have made more sense to take the top league in BC, where the better teams are already established & slowly make changes to make the league "More...

I've said it many times before, instead of creating a "New League", just enhance the league that is already in place. Whether it be the PCSL, or the VMSL. Add conditions each year to make the league "more professional". The best players will play in the league, as they will always want to play...

MDS might have came in with high standards, as any new coach would. The question that needs to be asked, is "Does he still, if he ever has had, the players respect"? If he's tell in them how to play, they're certainly not following his instructions. It appears that they just go out & play as...

Yallop, Miller, Forrest, Easton, They went on to play at the top level. There are many more who played at what I call pro. Whitecaps USL, NASL etc. If you look at the squad that played in Mexico World Cup Finals in 1988, I believe 16 of the 22 were from BC. Now, on any National Team, we are...

MDS lost the plot? Did he have a plot in the first place? I've never seen such a shambles of a team at that level & I'm a Newcastle supporter ffs. There is no method, or system in place to create scoring chances. The players are lazy & walk around most of the game. It's tip-tap around their own...

Maybe Canada never won a World Cup, but Germany,France,Italy have & you don't see them parading around drunk. I've no doubt that all World Cup Winners on the Men's side celebrate & get absolutely hammered, but their organizations would not allow them to be seen in such a sorry state. They're...

I think it's unprofessional for the staff to allow players to be seen drunk whilst boarding a plane. There's a time & place for celebrations. When we played England in 1986, before going to the World Cup in Mexico. Bobby Robson wouldn't allow the players, or staff to have any alcohol at the...

To all of the soccer people who are frustrated & disappointed in the sad state of the game, here in Canada. That's "Whom".

You've got to admit, we've had some beauties, haven't we? the CSA board have a lot to answer for? They've made some shocking decisions over the years.

Herdman's post game interview.

Woman's football is changing drastically. North America was always the leader, with USA & Canada being at the forefront. They were the only Countries taking it seriously & spending money on their programs to develop the game. Europe now, have started to take the game seriously & with most of the...

I was on that Committee. I stepped down, when I realized that the direction they were headed, was doomed for failure. Investors will not risk their hard earned money to start "new leagues". It sounds like a great idea, but when it gets down to who will actually pays for it, everyone takes a step...

Why do they have to start a "New League"? Wouldn't it make more sense to improve gradually a league that already exists? The VMSL is a well established league, with good teams already competing at a decent level. Or, having each BCPL club having a Senior team to give youth players a place to...

The decline has been steady for the past 15 years.

That must have been a long time ago & the players then were a lot better than the players of today. Just look no further than the representation of BC players in the National Team Program now. compared to those days.
