A win or draw from Auckland and they are premiers. Highly likely as they are at home against Perth.
MC can still mathematically be premiers if they win their next two and Auckland lose their next two and are able to close the GD gap.

HAHAHAAH I think old mate handled that pretty well to be honest....

oh wow

That's why Australia will never be a football country. The eggball mindset of pay your money, sit down, shut up, drink and eat corporate swill and then fuck off is ingrained in this nanny state of a country.

 

[Frankly Speaking]

This literally one of the most absurd things I have ever seen. I felt so sorry for the guy who had to make the approach to Richard Roar. He looked like he wanted to crawl under a rock.
You know what - Zadkovic is all over this. If he did not prompt this, then he needs to front up and state exactly that.

Given that none of abusive language, hate speech, or slander were involved, this "silencing" may also have been illegal, given the protections to freedom of speech.

On the other hand, maybe this is part of a conspiracy to destroy the pitiful remnants of Brisbane Roar by public humiliation.

 

[RIMB]

I would suggest that someone sitting nearby probably got tired of hearing "Zadkovich has got to go" (or whatever it was) being chanted over and over and complained on the anti-social behaviour number. They did not feel 'safe' telling him to STFU directly so they reported his behaviour. Just my guess but it is the only thing that makes sense of someone having to come and talk to him about it.

The stadium staff member did a fantastic job - total credit to him I agree Mono.

In terms of illegality - at no point did the stadium staff member actually tell him to stop - he made sure to be clear that he was asking him to. It was only when pressed at the end of the clip that he mentioned security having to come if he didn't stop. Nothing in that is actually illegal in my eyes - Richard Roar could have continued if he chose and then maybe the illegality would come into play. Again just a guess, but he was probably annoying the shit out of the people sitting near him.

Nothing to see here - move along. Sick of the individual having the 'right' to spoil it for the many in society so I'm OK with it this time.

On Zadkovich, the article that talked about how our youth exposure and sales is the shining light for us this season confirms a damning suspicion about our club's purpose. It talked about how we have had a few players in the shop window this season and how they might make us money.

To me it confirms that the owners are more interested in exposing and on-selling players for profit than they are at us winning football games. It may not be too much of Zadkovich's fault how we have gone this season when it comes down to it.

Richard Roar can chant "Owners have to go" next game if he chooses and no doubt the same bloke will come for the same chat.

How stupid is it for MacArthur to have the anzac game!! It's a important day have it somewhere you get a half decent crowd (over 10k)

It's more prevalent around the world than you think.

I expect the No POLitiKs Inn FUTBalL!$% brigade to be all over social media for this anzac day

yeah they should be like the AFL and have the same two teams play in a themed round every year, regardless of position on the table (no fear of either franchise being relegated EVER so there is that going for it)

Could ask the MCG trust if they could host it right after the AFL match for maximum attendances?

maybe for other sports, not so much football though?

It is in the UK.

 

[Monoethnic Social Club]

It is in the UK.

Maybe in the Prem but the terraces look pretty raucous in the lower leagues? Anyway, despite your imperialistic views my friend, there are another 200 odd countries outside the UK that also enjoy the fitba...

I've been around. It's not.

of course. But fans in the UK and a lot of other countries feel as though they are just treated as customers and not supporters.

Yeah that's true I suppose...

Teague scored a cracking goal after a nice build up, however the Bulls could have scored an even better goal with Brattan’s clip to Hollman who unluckily hit the bar.

After that Victory score to make it 2-0, if there is a story that reflects a clubs season it will be this for the Bulls, they offer promise but they don’t quite have what it takes to make the top 6 this season.

Meanwhile Melb Victory are looking good, playing some good football as well.
