Talk:Brisbane Roar FC

message: I heard the club is being renamed to Brisbane Roar because of the fact Gold Coast Galaxy and North Queensland Thunder will also be Queensland Teams. Probably to early to rename article. ronan.evans (talk) 12:43, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It has been announced today that it will happen, but it is still too early for the page move -   the A-League site says Queensland, the qldroar.com.au site says Queensland, wait until it actually happens before moving.

message: Does anyone have any details on the club's history pre-A-League, i.e. original formation, pre-NSL, NSL, Brisbane Premier League etc.? Football in this country did not magically appear with the creation of the A-League, so it would be nice to have some information from the "prehistoric times", before football was cool.

replies: text: Technically the club were founded in 1957, though they became owned by the QLD Lions and had their name changed for the purpose of the new league to not clash with the owning club. Once Oudendyk left, they became their separate club when they dropped all relations with the Lions. Protenpinner (talk) 14:47, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

text: I've made the page (Brisbane Roar FC records and statistics). I've left the other records bit on the page as I feel it should be left there. I've only moved the other bits over to the page like the head to head, awards and what not. As you can see via the Victory's page (Melbourne Victory & Melbourne Victory records and statistics), the edits I've made are pretty much identical. Please let me know of any changes. I'll be adding in the player records bit once I add up a bit on the info I have. Protenpinner (talk) 12:45, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

message: On the 2011-12 season page under fixtures i've noticed that there are country flags on each of the teams as opposed to the team coulours as used previously. I've just loaded the fixtures onto the Wellington Phoenix page but haven't included the flags as i'm not sure which ones to use. Can anybody clear this up? Thanks in advance Pereirab04 (talk) 01:49, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: With the A-League being comprised off teams from Australia and one from New Zealand, a lot of people prefer to use the flags of the country in which the team are based. Hope that helps. Protenpinner (talk) 08:21, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Flags

message: There is a clear need to define precisely what leagues and/or sports are included in the otherwise vague 35-match record for an unbeaten streak in "any Australian code". It is known (for example) that this record includes the VFL/AFL history, but excludes the SANFL, WAFL, etc., which have at times in their history been roughly equal in standard to the VFL; likewise the BRL as compared with the NSWRL/ARL/NRL. Are national soccer league predecessors to the A-League included? Is it just team sports? Aspirex (talk) 08:50, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The only source I have found which spells out this record in specific detail is the FFA page, which mentions only the VFL/AFL, NRL & predecessors, NSL/A-L and Super Rugby. I have not seen any source that specifically claims any sport outside of football, nor any other leagues included. As I said before, there is a clear need to define exactly which leagues are included in the record, and to make this explicit within the article, within a footnote like the one you removed; otherwise, it is a non-encyclopedically vague statement. Aspirex (talk) 07:02, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you able to post the link? I'm not sure where it is on the FFA site. Don't get me wrong though, I agree there should be something to define which leagues and clubs are taken into account in regards to the streak, I just feel it should be fully figured out before it is put up permanently.

thread_title:  Cross-code record for unbeaten streak 

message: Hello i was wandering if i could have the consent to adding Melbourne victory as a rival not only were melbourne the only team not to lose to roar while they were on there unbeaten streak they were also the only team to beat the roar in the 2010-11 season.Ange signing with MV will no doubt add to this and there will be big crowds for the games next season. I no as a personal fact the two sets of fans hate each other.
Something like this, Feel free to edit.
* Melbourne Victory - Melbourne Victory were the only team to beat Brisbane during the 2010-11 season, When Brisbane Roar were undefeated on there 36 game winning streak during the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons, The only team they had not defeated were the Victory most notably Victory had hanged on for 2-2 draw with nine men. On 17 April 2012 Former Brisbane Roar head coach Ange Postecoglou signed with Melbourne Victory. Aussie4ever4 (talk) 18:56, April 29, 2012‎ (UTC)
Although a good idea, there isn't much there to begin with. I can see where you're coming from but the being the only team to beat the Roar in the streak and 11/12 season doesn't make a rivalry, neither does one coach defecting from one club to the other. The fans can hate each other, and it's a known fact they do for a number of reasons, but that's really the only rivalry. A rivalry isn't created from the stands.

message: In this and several other articles Macktheknifeau has unilaterally changed the word "Socceroos" to "Australia national association football team". (Sometimes with the word "player" tacked on for sanity, but hardly for clarity and simplicity.) I see these changes as pointy, confrontational, and not in line with the agreed naming of Soccer in Australia There is a centralised discussion on this matter underway at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Football in Australia)#Macktheknifeau doing sweeping, pointy changes again.

message: Why is Jamie Young down as English in the squad section? He moved to England from Australia when he was 16/17, which makes him an Australian first, surely? Not sure why he's got "English football players" cat on his player page either to be honest - I suppose he might have citizenship. HornetMike (talk) 17:24, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't doubt that he does have Australian citizenship, too. It's because he played for the England Youth International teams that this is his nationality shown. Brazilian players who gain Spanish citizenship are still shown as Brazilian. I think until he plays for Australia, it's safe to call him English. - J man708 (talk) 03:03, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

message: I'm confused. Is this a Football Club or a Soccer Club? --Pete (talk) 17:47, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The text says Brisbane Roar FC is a professional soccer club but the part soccer is misleading. It should be football not soccer. They identify themselves as a FC obviously. It is even in their logo FC. QuackGuru (talk) 22:51, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: In North America we call the sport in which you kick a ball into a net 'soccer', but the rest of the world calls this sport 'football'. In North America we use the term 'football' to describe the 'grid-iron' sport where the ball is carried across a goal, but only North America plays it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.181.201.237 (talk) 03:43, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

text: It should be pointed out that although it has been discussed ad nauseum, the discussion recurs every few years.  In previous years the association football or football (soccer) wording has been the standard.  It all depends on which group of editors gives in soonest.  Personally I've grown tired of spending considerable time getting it corrected only for it to be reverted back later when I'm not paying as much attention to the project. -- Chuq (talk) 06:14, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

text: User:Nick Thorne, I have seen RfC closing many times where the closer ignores the comments made by other editors. The wording should be association football or possibly association football (soccer). QuackGuru (talk) 17:48, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The fact that there was a dispute - a very heated dispute, with editors being pulled out through one tactic or another, generally because they grew too heated - makes any technical solution problematic. We now have the most dogged defender of the deprecated (at least out in the real world of sweaty bodies and balls) term "soccer" publicly announcing that he has withdrawn from the fray, and I suggest that if we hold another RfC it will go a different way. --Pete (talk) 19:33, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

text: Given that the most bitter and acrimonious participant has apparently departed, I don't think we'll get to that point. We're reasonable people. We can take turns. --Pete (talk) 05:29, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

text: Full name = Brisbane Roar Football Club. Aren't they still a "football club"? QuackGuru (talk) 01:16, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Using that logic, then football must mean Aussie Rules. See Essendon Football Club and Collingwood Football Club. - Nick Thorne talk 02:38, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the text should be sourced according to WP:V. The previous RfC did not address unsourced text. Now the text is sourced. QuackGuru (talk) 02:48, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you seriously suggesting that every word needs to be from a source? I think not, that would be plagiarism. Of course as I said in my previous post using your own logic, with sources, that "football" means Aussie rules. Do you really want to go there? - Nick Thorne talk 03:57, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
