Hollywood is applying AI and CGI to "regenerate" the classics without actually having to exercise imagination. To me, the acting that made the classics great cannot be replaced by flashy effects. Maybe the younger generations, who did not grow up with the originals, will like them. I suspect...

"A left-back with a very interesting skillset" Seems we are quite heavily leaning into youth development - but doing it through the first team rather than developing and refining them in a lower league/level then bringing them into a stable and effective senior team as they evolve. I have no...

Roar Email: Queenslander Archie Mitchell earns long-term Brisbane Roar deal Brisbane Roar is pleased to announce the signing of Roar 'B' team product Archie Mitchell on a four-year scholarship contract ahead of the 2026/27 Isuzu UTE A-League season. The 17-year-old left-back regularly...

So you did bring the suitcase back then...?

I do recall that was the deal The day the football died.

I seem to recall that happening from a documentary I heard once. When the players tried to take the field the marching band refused to yield.

I was interested (spelt the same way as pissed off but much more polite) to see the Norwegian goal disallowed because of a two handed shirt front push. VAR studied it, got the ref to check, and they decided a 2 handed shirt front push was somehow illegal. I totally agree it was a foul in the...

Where can you go to discuss it? Great for people looking for an outlet and some genuine discussion.

They called it the Game of Throws when the same people did it on the blanket making forum. Yeah alright. Tenuous link I admit.

It is a real challenge for Herrington because he reads the play and identifies emerging threats - so he reacts to shut it down. In lower level football that is a huge asset for the team because the danger is often limited to the one significant threat and if he shuts that off problem solved...

Google is flogging us too. But how is Peppa Pig rating?

Is your name a spin on the great Ari Cule? If so - love it.

Whether he actually played him onside or not - he set up the possibility of it by being that step back behind the rest of our line.

Turkey was the one game where we applied pressure upfield. They came at us when they had their chances, but it was a team working to create something on the fly as opposed to a team putting all their pieces in place then executing. When we went forward, we did not need to be doing it from 9...

My read of the comments on here is not that we should be outplaying teams through our individual ball skills and brilliance. I don't think many posters consider our players good enough to individually beat several world class opponents consistently and score every game. The beef with...

I can see where the confusion has come from. Mono is talking about proper football rebfem. <running footsteps> <door closing>

I am thinking there is no one looking over your shoulder as you bravely write that. But she will see it sometime you know...

The right of a coach to question officials and decisions is 100% necessary and appropriate - and as LFC says it is especially important when we are talking money and careers. How they do that ranges from too bloody quiet to entitled, rude tosser. Always important to insert a Roar reference in...

I would suggest that coaching in the aleague men's or women's can be seen as a development league just as much as it is for players. Or to refine it better, it is an opportunity to establish a name and the better players and coaches will always be looking to a step up - or at least to be paid...
