BRISBANE ROAR 0 WELLINGTON PHOENIX 2 Three weeks ago we were: “26 game undefeated streak baby!” Now we’re this guy: “Three straight losses, don’t care, chill out and rub icecream in my face” On Saturday we play a top of the table clash against the Central Coast Mariners who are on equal points and have won six out of seven ...

Okay…so we lost 2-0 away to Sydney.  It was an away game.  So what?  It doesn’t mean anything.  The streak was nice but its not that important.  We’re still top of the league and we won 36 games in a row.  Now we’ve got a home game against Melbourne Heart who’ve never beaten us.  Let’s see what happens then.  Lets ...

Since Brisbane Roar embarked on this unbeaten streak they have really begun to raise the profile of the A-League, particularly as they surpassed the all-time Australian unbeaten sporting record.  The streak has become one of those talking points for any Australian who has even a passing interest in sports.  It’s making fans of rival sporting codes sit up and take ...

On a damp Saturday night at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane Roar destroyed Perth Glory 4-0 to outright claim the all-time longest football undefeated streak of any code, besting the mightiest efforts in the entire history of the NRL, AFL, Super Rugby and NSL.  The win came from a comprehensive first half performance that saw two goals from Issey Nakajim Farran who ...

The Chopping Block After Melbourne Victory somehow blew a two goal lead against Perth Glory in a game where the referee did everything to tip the scales in the Victory’s favour (red card, penalty etc.), time might be running out for coach Mehmet Durakovic who’s high profile team have won just one game this season.  Inexplicably for a side that ...

It was top of the table versus bottom of the table when the red card prone and injury-ravaged Wellington Phoenix visited Brisbane on Sunday.  Few punters gave the Nix a chance.  After all, the Roar would be angry and in the mood for goals after being held to a 2-2 draw against a nine man Melbourne Victory the previous week. ...

Back Where It All Began The Brisbane Roar travelled to Etihad Stadium for a big Saturday night clash against Harry Kewell and the Melbourne Victory in front of 24,000 fans.  This away game would be the largest crowd that the Roar have played in front of this season.  Melbourne were the last team to beat Brisbane back in September of ...

In which things begin to settle It’s round four of the A-League and after the dust settled this weekend, we finally started getting some semblance of balance to the competition.  Melbourne Victory, Gold Coast United and Central Coast Mariners all secured their first wins of the season and Perth Glory finally lost their first game.  The new players are starting ...

The Rivalry Round There was a themed ‘Rivalry Round’ for the Hyundai A-League this week that saw all the league’s local derby sides pitted against one another. THE QUEENSLAND/PEOPLE WHO FEAR DAYLIGHT SAVINGS DERBY – Brisbane Roar vs Gold Coast United THE TARD DERBY – Melbourne Victory vs Melbourne Heart THE F3 DERBY  – Central Coast Mariners vs Newcastle Jets ...

The Kewell And Emerton Show What if you promoted an entire football league with two high profile Socceroos players and their respective glamour clubs and they didn’t score any goals or win any games?  That’s the position the A-League finds itself in at the moment as both Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory lost their games in Round Two and both ...
