If that were the case they would have been DQ'd but it wasn't.

For the record, Duggan has in other occasions approached coaches to "agree" on a match result, to help them get thru or keep their entitlement. IMO, Duggan should be banned from youth soccer. This is a first hand fact.

First hand? Does that mean he approached you directly?

My daughter as a forward in the past has been instructed to not press the defenders in a game. This is usually when we were way outclassed, had not subs, or the current score holding would be good to the team. Even on those cases our forwards would step up and prevent such a joke of passes.
