So many empty seats. 

Not like our opening game at Western Sydney Stadium 

[Paul01]

Freke beaten at the near post.

Then couldn't stop the headed goal

[BoyFromTheWest]

Would suggest that Mileusnic, Free, Hinget, O'Shae, and Neville, at least should now be confirmed. Austin is confirmed striker.

Majok is a trialist

And the Roar sponsor is a crypto-currency mob!

[Sithslayer1991]

Well looks like the Roar issues to score still present. Should have equalised on the chances created in that 2nd half

[MathyouWSW]

So, these are the players that were on trial with Roar tonight:

Joe Knowles - (26) - Currently at Oakleigh Cannons. The striker is originally from Perth and played for Perth Glory from 2014 to 2018. He Joined Largs Thistle which is a 5th division Scottish club for one season before coming back to play for Australia and play for ECU Joondalup mid-season. He's been at Oakleigh Cannons since 2019. Looks like he could be getting a contract to Roar after his performance tonight.
Tommy Jarrard - (23) - Currently at Lions FC. The defender has spent his whole career at Lions FC 
Abraham Majok (23) - The ex-Wanderers striker recently departed South African club AmaZulu. Only playing 4 games for them. 
Henry Cliff (19) - Cliff previously played for Brisbane City before joining Spanish club Merida AD at the age of 16.. He got released at the end of this season.
Ryo Matsumura (28) - Currently signed at Thai Division 1 club BG Pathum United. The Japanese winger spent last season on loan with Police Taro which is also a Thai division 1 club. He spent a large portion of his career signed to Japanese club Vissel Kobe but was loaned out to a few J2 League clubs. 
Jacson Riley (22) - Based in Queensland, Riley is a goalkeeper that started his career in Cairns FC before joining Lions FC for one season and then signed for Brisbane Roar into their NPL squad. He's left Brisbane Roar and joined Gold Coast United FC last season.

5th Division ? I thought it was all regional non-league after the top 4 divisions.

West of Scotland League Premier Division,  so 5th tier.

Isn't that 6th tier? Basically pub football on steroids 

Edited July 15, 2022 by MartinTyler

[MathyouWSW]

I think they were 5th tier when he played for them. Now, they are in 6th tier. 

Either way, it's basically a Scottish Sunday League.

Corey Brown gone 

Very brief club statement 

[Paul01]

Update. PFA now involved. Looks ugly 

https://pfa.net.au/statement/pfa-statement-10/

[mack]

Rumour is he triggered a contract extension but now wants to go back to Melbourne. Bit weird though.

Melb Victory looking bit thin at tge back. Perhaps Popa looking. 

[Davo]

PFA going in two footed there.

”the club continues to operate well below the expected standards of a professional football club”

SECOND CLUB STATEMENT REGARDING COREY BROWN

Club hits back at PFA. Greatest league in the world.

Oh dear.

https://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/brisbane-roar-under-siege-amid-pfa-feud-over-player-s-alleged-drug-use-20220819-p5bb6m.html

A feud has erupted between Brisbane Roar and the A-League players’ union over an attempt to sack defender Corey Brown over alleged drug use - one of a number of serious legal battles the club is fighting that could force action against their Indonesian owner.

Brown, a long-time club stalwart who has never failed a drug test, is fighting against the termination of his three-year contract and denies all allegations made against him by the Roar, who are also under investigation for an alleged JobKeeper rort and are at risk of being thrown out of Queensland’s NPL competitions due to unpaid debts with the state governing body.

...

Brown did not take part in Brisbane’s recent friendlies against English Premier League sides Leeds United and Aston Villa due to a club-imposed suspension, after the Roar made allegations against him in April regarding recreational drug use during the off-season, nor has he featured in the Australia Cup, where the club has reached the quarter-finals after a penalty shootout win over Avondale FC on Wednesday. Since April, he has been blocked from training with the team and has been forced to train alone at his own cost, despite cooperating with an investigation into his alleged conduct.

...

Meanwhile, the Fair Work Ombudsman has confirmed it is investigating the Roar after receiving complaints that players from the club’s youth team were being underpaid. Sources say the Roar’s youth team, who are on amateur contracts, were asked to sacrifice $500 per week during the first COVID shutdown in 2020 to pay for medical and fitness services. When players were then placed on the JobKeeper wage subsidy program, money received from the government was withheld by the club.

....

Football Queensland is also threatening to kick out the Roar’s academy teams from the NPL system unless it repays an unpaid debt of over $100,000, which other sources say has been outstanding for several years. The Roar’s licence to play in the NPL expires at the end of the year and won’t be renewed unless that debt is paid, according to sources. FQ was contacted for comment.

[Davo]

I looked up the non-visa player in their squad to see who we can raid when they go under.

Other than Mileusnic, meh.

Their striker is pretty decent might be worth poaching if we have another piovaccari visa fail this season.

Why wouldn't we have another visa fail, it's become our trademark.

What the hell did I just read? How have the FA and now APL allowed the Bakries to get away with so much?

It's like the dark days of the NSL where the ethnic clubs were hiding cash and avoiding payments and close to being wind up.
