Saturday night was a big homecoming for the Brisbane Roar. It was the first home game back at Suncorp Stadium since the Queensland Floods six weeks ago.  It was also the final game of the regular season, an M1 Derby against the Gold Coast, and the night in which they would be presented with the Premiere’s Plate for finishing top ...

I didn’t actually get to see this game because I was down in Sydney for the Conference.  The game was supposed to be played at Dairy Farmer Stadium but because of Cyclone Yasi, it had to be moved to Skilled Park.  This game attracted a record low attendance which is probably what you get when the top team plays the ...

This might be a good time to talk about my new job. I alluded to having a new job earlier in the year but haven’t really had a chance to write about it.  Partly because on my second day in the new role, the Queensland Floods happened and I didn’t go to work for nearly two weeks, so there wasn’t ...

Glee – Season 2 I only just found time to finish watching the two most recent episodes of Glee (Sectionals & Christmas) but now that I have a bit of downtime because I’m on Flood Break I’ve been able to catch up.

The Brisbane Roar visited Blue Tongue Stadium in Gosford for a clash against the third placed Central Coast Mariners for Round 26 but more on that in a second. The flooding in Queensland in the past two days has had a disasterous impact on the whole of Brisbane and Suncorp Stadium has been no different.  The pitch is shoulder deep ...

“Never have I seen such horrible weather.  Here’s to 2011 being an improvement.  I can’t see how it could be any worse.” – Me, when I blogged 11 days ago. These are some pictures from Queensland in the past 24 hours which has been hit with severe flooding across 75% of its populated areas.  The whole city came to a ...
