From my limited observations, kids' teams always seem to be either the kind that wins every game by a ridicules margin or loses every game by a ridicules margin. There seems to be little middle ground.

Well obviously there is middle ground unless you have a 2 team league But yes, youth football only takes 1 or 2 classy players to carry a team in local leagues. My eldest played in some National finals the other week, the standard was exceptional, especially considering no academy players were allowed.
They won their local league p16 lost 1 won 15... got to these finals and got played off the park in all 4 games

Goals against would be fewer than 20, of course.

I can tell you to fúck off.

I have told the club that the day a small plane flies over South Dublin with the message “FÚCK OFF SW” is the day I walk away.
