That result with the first XI selected is a fucking disgrace. Blaming disruptions etc in the lead up is a joke. FFS Brisbane's chance of making the a league finals is touch and go; to get done at home against an opponet whose players would predominantly struggle to an a league game (even if we were to assume Philippines players were "domestic" players for the a league) shows the Roar are a complete shambles at present.

jw1739 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 I think there's a wider issue here - wider than just Brisbane. I'm not convinced that Australia takes the AFC Champions League seriously enough. Let's face it, we joined the AFC hoping to get an easier path to World Cup finals football, but need to be convinced that outside of that we have any real interest in Asian football at a club level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm dunno, depends on the club i think. I reckon the Sydney and Melbourne clubs are highly motivated in respect to it, but the others perhaps see it as a distraction as they find the A League difficult enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the larger sporting public doesn't take it as seriously as we ought to but WSW winning the AFC was a big publicity boost, sadly squandered. However, the interest is harder to share because it does happen during the middle of the a-league season, the distances travelled is enormous and mid-week sports are difficult to attend.

Shahanga Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Roar has sold Taggart to Korea. This provides yet another example of what’s wrong with the A League. Perth should have been able to demand a transfer fee for him to go to Brisbane, rather than just releasing him because he was agitating for a move (which is my recollection of events), which presumably could have included a trailing fee on future transfers.

mus-28 Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I'd always thought the Tards had the dumbest fans, but reading the comments on the Roar facebook post announcing Corey Brown I may have to change my opinion. There are a lot of people happy and relatively few that are upset that they've signed a bloke that's clearly proven he's no longer up to A-League standard.

Shahanga Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Fowler and his assistant have won their case of unfair dismissal. It’s important clubs are held to their side of the contract, not just employees. Now as to whether they actually pay, I guess that’s another matter.
