How did you get on mate? 

 

We didn't turn up at all. Finished 4th in the group, won our play off and then found ourselves stuck against the level 2 side that dropped into the Europa league  

That's who we lost to in the final. Absolute chancer. One of my teams parents watched their last couple of games and he said they manufactured their way into our bracket. He went on to tell me there's some in his side he needs to cut. Would you believe they didn't see the final and played in the group games he didn't want to win 🙄.

 

We weren't really up to much. Played one good game out of 8. Some of mine couldn't be bothered being there yesterday. Got our tournament this afternoon in a tougher group, so at least I should be finished earlier 😂.

Sick of bloody Northamptonshire teams coming up to Leicester and playing in the wrong level tournaments. 

 

Level 4/5 one today and 11 of the 12 teams all local. 1 from Northamptonshire.... Guess which one won with only one goal conceded all day. Their players even acknowledged they played at the highest level. 🤣🤣🤣

 

Organisers didn't twig until later on and could tell they were disappointed. I think it really needs to be a case of you have to show the registration cards of the squad on arrival as my lads ground out some really gutsy performances all day to make the final only to then hardly make it into the opposition half. 

 

It's just cheating at the end of the day and feeding a coach's ego one again.

I hate tournaments for this reason. Pointless exercise when you get much higher level teams entering well below their level.
We lost our first match in a tournament recently, and they were much better standard than we were used to playing against (non local team) and I asked a lad what level they played at? He said he didn’t know?
The final was a division 3 team and a division 5 team (12 divisions), in a low level tournament

Trying to arrange friendly matches, but our current goalkeeper doesn’t like them or tournaments
