Have a good weekend everyone!

Brisbane Roar 2 – Perth Glory 1 Leave it to Brisbane to win a Grand Final in the 7th minute of injury time.  The team are the comeback kings of the competition and now they have become the first team to win back-to-back Grand Finals after a highly controversial night at Suncorp Stadium. The game was dubbed Orange Sunday II ...

 BRISBANE ROAR 3 CENTRAL COAST MARINERS 2 AGGREGATE BRISBANE ROAR 5 CENTRAL COAST MARINERS 2 BRISBANE ROAR ADVANCE TO THE GRAND FINALS Nearly two years ago, I started blogging about the Brisbane Roar in the twelfth round of the 2010/11 season when they were on a surprising run of eight undefeated games and were sitting second in the table.  That ...

Brisbane Roar played their home leg of the major semi final against Central Coast Mariners last weekend.  It was an opportunity for the side to regain a psychological edge after the Mariners pipped them to the post to win the Premiere’s Plate after nearly squandering a 14 point mid-season lead.  A strange thing about the Mariners is that despite their ...

BRISBANE ROAR 2 GOLD COAST UNITED 1 Brisbane Roar won their last game of the season against Gold Coast United who played what could possibly be their last game in the A-League.  But it wasn’t enough.  Earlier in the day Central Coast Mariners beat the Phoenix by the same scoreline to secure the Premiere’s Plate.  Well done to them. It’s ...

NEWCASTLE JETS 1 BRISBANE ROAR 2 And so it has come to this.  The Roar beat Newcastle in a topsy turvey 2-1 encounter in which the men in Orange missed one penalty, hit the post three times and threw away a lead before finally squeaking home with a win to ensure that the Premiere’s Plate for the A-League season of ...

But thats not important right now. Much more interesting is Roar striker Besart Berisha honouring his promise to ...

For a team that we made short work of last season, the Melbourne Heart have well and truly proven to be our jinx this season.  We were unable to beat them in three outings.  Let’s just hope we don’t meet them at any stage during Finals Football. It started promisingly enough.  The Roar continued their solid form that saw them ...

It is all happening, folks.  All happening at once. Brisbane Roar travelled away to play against an in-form Perth Glory who Fox Sports tipped to finish second in the table after the form they showed in their last few games.  Massimo Murdocca was a late addition to the Roar side.  His wife gave birth to their first child the night ...

The Brisbane Roar defeated Melbourne Victory 3-1 this week.  It was their third win in a row and saw the team cement second place in the table.  Besart Berisha scored a goal in 45 seconds and… …actually, this week, there’s other stuff to discuss.
