Football Down Under and Beyond: Brisbane finally gets the Final

Football Down Under and Beyond. A blog about the love of Soccer from an Australian, Roarcentric perspective. Go Brisbane Roar! Sunday, March 06, 2011. Brisbane finally gets the Final. The last time I wrote about the A-League or the Brisbane Roar was April last year. The short of what I had to say then was, "the Brisbane Roar cannot repeat its original seduction of this consumer. This time they're going to have to realise a product that is worth it for me to seek out.". The Grand Final is anyone's game.

Football Down Under and Beyond. A blog about the love of Soccer from an Australian, Roarcentric perspective. Go Brisbane Roar! Wednesday, September 20, 2006. I've searched for an independent football blog with an Australian perspective. The best I've found is The Soccer Squirrel. Which claims to be exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately its contributors appear to have abandoned the project since the World Cup ended, which is a great shame. They're my humble qualifications. I'm a tragic though,...

Football Down Under and Beyond. A blog about the love of Soccer from an Australian, Roarcentric perspective. Go Brisbane Roar! Saturday, October 29, 2011. 7:1 win vs Adelaide last night. Oh yes oh yes oh yes. Ra ra ra. We actually are the best in the World and everyone else is, slowly but surely, learning to live with it. The question being repeated everywhere is, how come only eleven and a half thousand people saw one of the greatest football spectacles we might expect to see in club football? So now we...

Football Down Under and Beyond: Finding Africa

Football Down Under and Beyond. A blog about the love of Soccer from an Australian, Roarcentric perspective. Go Brisbane Roar! Thursday, July 15, 2010. This is as close as I got to the Grand Final. The photo was taken by Jacob actually, and we had split up a minibus ride ago, but Jacob had a ticket. I was wandering the periphery, a shag on a seething rock, practically illegal, knowing there was no fan zone anywhere. I ask a cop. Where do you catch a bus or cab to Newtown? Each of them have established ro...

Football Down Under and Beyond: Blatter Must Go
http://downunderfootball.blogspot.com/2011/06/blatter-must-go.html
Football Down Under and Beyond. A blog about the love of Soccer from an Australian, Roarcentric perspective. Go Brisbane Roar! Sunday, June 05, 2011. This blog is at heart about my love affair with soccer, an affair that is unwavering after five or six years. From very early on I became aware of the corruption that has been in our game and that is in our game at a high level. I was more properly informed about it after reading An drew Jennings' book, Foul! I wrote a review. Of the book in late 2006.

Football Down Under and Beyond. A blog about the love of Soccer from an Australian, Roarcentric perspective. Go Brisbane Roar! Wednesday, November 16, 2011. New Socceroos Coach Announced. Well I must say I was a little surprised when Ben Buckley called last night to offer me the job of Socceroos' Head Coach, starting immediately. Needless to say Ange Postecoglou and Ken Stead will be my constant consultants. I have bought into their philosophy and hope that I can, as the national team redevelops, con...

Football Down Under and Beyond. A blog about the love of Soccer from an Australian, Roarcentric perspective. Go Brisbane Roar! Tuesday, April 06, 2010. It was about three and a half years ago that I began this blog, on a high of enthusiasm for the new sport I have quickly grown to love. September 2006 was my first post. No mysteries about the timing. Some may think I'm being mean or spiteful. "Why dis Australia's League? Now I have trod a twisted path so far in this life, having been involved in religiou...
