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.

You are joking? Aren't you? They would be in the lower division of non-league. Even non-league standard in England is a much higher standard than any leagues over here. Some non-league teams own their own grounds & pay their players a decent wage. Many of the players playing there have been in...

The media here don't have much idea on football. They're mostly "Rah Rah".

Brek Shea wasn't on the bench for Sunday's game at BC Place. When asked why in the post game press conference, Robbo said "he's tired, with the new baby home". He's getting paid almost 1 Million dollars Canadian to play for the Whitecaps. Surely he can get his wife to see to the baby during the...

I would fine him & make him apologize to his teammates & make a public apology to the fans. Absolute disgrace.

I was at the game when Rangers came to Play Newcastle in the Fair I was at the game when Rangers came to play Newcastle in the Fairs Cup in 1969. We beat Rangers & went on to win the cup. I remember the Rangers fans coning down onto the pitch, looking to fight & get the game abandoned. Nobody...
