There are in the europa league this year btw.

There is a hilarious irony in not starting the season until midway through October to have “clean air” (whatever that means in today’s sporting landscape), only to then have to postpone a Round 1 game because our actual sport doesn’t allow us to have the clean air anyway. Brisbane being annoyed...

He was battling hamstring injuries during his last year or so at Brisbane, which explains the physical drop-off we saw during that period. He seems to have gotten over those issues during his time in India, given his availability and performance levels from all reports. There’s no reason he...

Pacific first win in 385 days. Poor bloke has done a lot of losing since leaving City.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Scottish football. The toxic nature of it is probably the number one reason it has failed to keep pace with similarly sized leagues this century.

BPL back then. Couple of corrections, they never competed in the lower division. They had sides in the junior comps but never in the “premier” division for their top and ressies during this period. They came back via division 1 which was somewhat controversial given sides had left to go to the...

Lions won the license and were required to change name due to Brisbane lions and the AFL. Thus the name roar. The roar trained at lions for the first two seasons but any connection between the two clubs was gone by the end of the second season. As a Roar supporter, i hope they do well in the...

I did have a laugh when deciding to add aleague club in my example for a south fan.

NPL Qld games are generally pretty poorly attended — a couple of hundred people at most, really. There just isn't the same fan culture that you see down in Melbourne, particularly around clubs like South, Knights, Preston, Heidelberg etc. Outside of maybe Olympic and City which is usually older...

Can only speak for Brisbane. They stay out taking photos/signing stuff for 20 minutes after the game is done. If they have won they will go do a brisbane chant with the den then start walking around while a timer is up on the big screen. If not they will just go down and start doing it after...

You make some valid points about how the club is seen and I actually don’t disagree with at lot of them. The reality is that the only way to solve that long term is be competently run whether that’s new or old which I think we both agree is not what the roar is currently. IMO I rather not lose...

Yep, 100% agree. That's why Rangers fans and pundits are unhappy with the signing. They all think he's too safe on the ball for a side like Rangers, who will play against a low block 9/10 times domestically and even in some of these early qualifiers. Probably explains why he hasn't really had...

Obviously, he’ll be suspended for a couple of games in Europe and, assuming Rangers get through the next leg, he’ll serve the second in Round 1 of the Conference League group stage. Don’t think Delvin’s time at Rangers so far has done anything to resolve their reservations about signing him...

Got to completely disagree with this one. The stadium issue has been discussed at length throughout Australian football circles, and I reckon you'd find it's the main issue for any potential new club or ownership group looking at the Roar. It's the reason you don't see any serious second bids...

The more time Devlin gets the more this celtic fan is very happy.

Slight correction. Came off the bench at 68 and was sent in the 73. So only played 5 minutes. Did have 100% passing accuracy tbf.

TBF that 2,400 Seats is for the replacement for the eastern stand currently closed due to it no longer being considered safe for use. Adding the 2,400 seats to the 3,100 already for the stand that works etm plus the 1,500 odd standing on the hill and you will have a decent 8,000 capacity...

I am not a women's football fan so thanks for giving me context. Understandable why the men needed a massive rebuild but ladies does seem odd. Do you think with a new coach they have taken advantages of that to build a squad in his style and maybe weren't full fans of the direction under the...

Not sure the 3.liga would get you a decent pay day compared to staying the in aleague tbh. Average wage is about $180k AUD from a quick google (not sure how true) and a current socceroo in the league would be comfortably able to demand that and more here. However does give him a look into...

Isn't a heavily changed womens side somewhat the norm in ALW?
