Brisbane Roar vs Western Sydney Wanderers 25/3/2015 7:00PM

two observations....

 

Juric is too injury prone... could be a career killer.

 

Is Popa too nice, humble, respectful, reasonable and logical to be a top level manager? The best usually have a bit more mongrel in them... bordering on the (or completely) nasty, arrogant, disrespectful, unreasonable and irrational.

Have to disagree. Not only has he won more in his first three years than most managers win in a lifetime, he's rightly regarded as a hard taskmaster who doesn't take any sh-t from players, staff or anyone else.

Too nice? I've seen the bloke smile twice in his career. I'd be scared but happy to work for him had I been a player.

Yeah look from regular first hand experience I can say that Popa is the scariest **** you'll ever meet. When he arrives at training EVERYONE switches on and if he says jump, you say how high.

In today's world (and probably even yesterday's) being a top manager isn't just about what goes on behind closed doors. The best are also constantly "playing" the outside world... the media, the public, the opposition, football authorities... via the media. Refer to the masters of that particular art.... Ferguson, Mourinho, Clough, Shankly, Stein.

So because he's not: nasty, arrogant, disrespectful, unreasonable and irrational, as you said, he needs to change? The humility that Popa has while still being able to command respect from all who work under him is what has made he and this club so successful. I really don't think that Popa becoming an ass hole is the answer to our problems...

Anywhere I can watch this and Perth game in Fiji?!

no nowhere, I was there last year bro, no fox its just up to your eye balls rugby. I flew back in on the day of the derby what a coincidence.

You only need look at the last few derbies and the absolute parasite that is Graham Arnold with all his ridiculously stupid comments, dribbling constantly - and compare that to how Popa remained completely calm.

GAME DAY =D

Can't wait !!!!! I hear there's some big Barras in Suncorp......

WHAT IS GAME DAY

WHAT IS GAME DAY

 

its the day of the week where a bunch of football players make you grow 30 years older in about 90 minutes

 

Devante Clut - from Western Sydney.

 

Brisbane trying to be the new Mariners..

He trialled/trained with us first and we didn't pick him up.

 

Our loss...

 

He missed out being in a squad that won the ACL.

 

His loss..

So what's the feeling on how we are going to lose this one?

 

I 'll take a punt on a misplaced back pass to the keeper that gets stuck in the mud and slammed home by the Roar.

Roar are fielding a youth team just like we did on the weekend.

 

Could be interesting...

We will lose 3 nil to a less tired and more experienced side and one Jerome Polenz will give us a lesson on why he should still be wearing red and black.

Haha....our youths are more experienced ...we got this

Henrique is out, Broich is out.

 

Petratos and Brattan seem to be useless according to the roar fans, they both look to be playing tonight.

 

nek minnit 0-3

You mean 3-0? Roar are at home

Ruka gets the ball to feet , just over halfway. Easily beats his defender on the outside for speed before nutmegging the next guy , cutting infield , afterburners on full bore , sets his sight on the goal. Lines up the shot on his preferred left , big back swing BAM!!!!

sweetest shot his ever struck........straight into his right heel , cos the ball was stuck inbetween his feet , it shoots off in the opposite direction skimming off the wet surface past Covic , goal. 1-0 see ya later!!!!!

I'm excited about tonight's game.

**** know's why. I just am.

Even though we're **** at the moment, I just can't get enough Wanderers.

 

I'm gonna hate seasons end.

At some point we'll have an attack ruined when the ball hits a pelican. Also Castelen won't play because the water level will be too high for him.

I'm excited about tonight's game.

**** know's why. I just am.

I'm gonna hate seasons end.

^^^ This, I wish all supporters of our club felt this. I know most all that are left here do. 

Our 100th game!! 900 days of existence!! Not including friendlies, no wonder we are tired

I may be a newbie but this is how I feel! This is what its about!

There is no useless player against us this year. Everybody somehow come into Balon D'or contention after they play us

Roar Lineup: Polenz, Stefanutto , Sarota, Lustica, Kaluderovic, Clut, Brattan, Hingert, Young (gk), Petratos, Borrello

 

That ain't really a youth team at all. Just a couple of younger guys

Our Lineup: Covic (gk), Tanaka, Topor-Stanley, Golec, Haliti, Takahagi, Rukavytsya, Bulut, Castalen, La Rocca, Aspropotamitis

 

So

Covic

Tanaka-Aspro-Topor-Golec

La Rocca-Takahagi

Castelan-Haliti-Ruka

Bulut

 

Castelan might play CAM with Haliti on the wing instead, though.

About as good a lineup as can be expected.

The bench

So much for throwing the youngsters back into the frey after Saturday!
