Texas Premier FC?

What was your experience playing Texas Premier this season during league or tournament play.

Well, let's see.

Four years ago, AL diluted CL and made PL almost irrelevant. Now, Pre-AL comes along and waters CL down again, and some teams that absolutely do not deserve to a) be in D1, and b) damn sure not be in PL, are in PL which is now completely irrelevant.

So... NTX PL is awful. OK PL isn't any better. I don't know about STX PL yet, but I would guess more of the same. PL should be completely shutdown. It's too expensive. And, there's no reason for it anymore.

How's that for the state of PL in NTX?

BS. Andro Pre AL did not impress anyone at the PLD this weekend. Don't even bother with the year younger excuse. They are 5 months younger on average and if they took all the CL talent then they should have run the U16 bracket. I doubt the 95s are any different.The NTX PL teams may not be as strong as in the past but other areas in PL have not drank as heavily of the AL Koolaid as NTX.

FB4, I think the reference is the team called Texas Premier FC and not the Premier league.

This is probably a back handed response because they won PLD silver bracket this weekend.

Well crap.. they should change their name from Texas Premier to "Super Galactic Elite Soccer Team" to avoid the confusion.

This weekend they received at least 4 Reds from the two games on Saturday.

They have some talented forwards. But they have been the dirtiest team in the 95's for some time now. Always seems to be the same repeat offenders. They go cleats up trying to take kids out. In Classic, they tend to just receive yellows, then they eventually sit out their game and they right back on the pitch.

Is this the Arsenal/Texas Premier team?

The Arsenal is the one that played this weekend from Div III. However, they're affliated with the DivII team.
From my understanding they had several players from Div II guest playing this weekend.

Personally, its sad that kids will play like this and that a coach/parents will put up with this type of behavior.

Never seen them play. At this age, I would be suprised if their wasn't quite a bit of retaliation. I know a number of D1 players who would ablige Very Happy

We played them this weekend and lost. I thought they were a bit chippy if that's the right word to use. My son got a backhand to the mouth, he survived with his braces intact. As a team they think outside the box and and translate that to their game. There was shirt pulling and kicking the ball away to waste time,but I've seen that all before,nothing new. Overall I thought regardless of their type of play,they were just a bit better than us. We played the Chivas/Texas premier team a week back and the boys beat them 3-1.Maybe the Arsenal team is in the wrong division.

If you played them a week back I heard that this was a pretty ugly game and they received a few RED's in that game. Is that true?

by norwich city 9/8/2011, 1:51 pm

No red cards were given just yellows on both sides, one on our side for shirt pulling and the other for a player wrapping his arm around another players waist.overall the ref.was average. When you have a tourney as big as this there are going to be good,bad and average referees.

by nearpost95 9/10/2011, 11:23 am

Yes, 2 weeks ago the game against Chivas had 3 red cards, 1 to Eagles for verbal, 2 to Chivas for serious foul play and fighting. Dirty team... definitely flows down from the parents. GK and defender from Chivas attempted to engage the ejected Eagle as he walked around the field to leave. Several Chivas parents walked out onto the field during the incident and, parents and ejected players started following Eagles' ejected player to the parking lot with threatening tones and gestures. What started all of this? Eagles were dominating and Chivas players started trying to injure opponents.

You are correct in this ,I was talking about the Plano Labor Day Tourney game.

where you at the game? Because the referee wrote the whole thing up backwards.... very frustrating
