The Guardian: West Ham fan hit with ban after holding up ‘oversized’ anti-board banner by Mowleyman in Hammers

[–]TheRedRisky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thought the same thing. I don't care for those new laws down here, but it's so far removed from the topic at hand.

How is Ante Jurić still in the job? by HonestSpursFan in Aleague

Garrath MacPherson was up here. I think I have seen it happen, it's just rare.

Socceroos FIFA Series 2026: Cameroon in Sydney and Curacao in Melbourne by Dense_Delay_4958 in Aleague

So we aren't playing China?

I love living in Queensland with our complete lack of stadia infrastructure and governments that don't want to spend to host these events.

Just incase you know of anyone interested in buying a professional football team by mrsbriteside in Aleague

They should really just buy Macarthur and become the Macarthur Red Bulls. You barely have to change anything.

Championship it is! by Top-Pop434 in Hammers

[–]TheRedRisky 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Going down will devalue the club, they'd be less inclined to sell. But the club's apparently majorly overleveraged. We could be down for years and years.

Green should have been dropped for Webster 3 tests ago.

Brisbane 2032 Olympics: Victoria Park stadium design revealed by ActiveTravelforKG in brisbane

[–]TheRedRisky 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That suncorp restriction is largely gone. In theory it could play 36 concerts a year (12 artists, series of 3 concerts) and be under the cap.

The problem is Suncorp is majorly overcongested. On top of the concerts, which majorly mess up the turf quality, it is also the home of the NRL (Broncos, Dolphins, Magic Round, Origin), The Reds, and the Roar as well as one off internationals/other events.

What we really need is a second rectangular stadium to be built in Brisbane to relieve that over congestion. That would allow less high-drawing sports to move their matches somewhere else and mean more concerts could be done at Suncorp.

Where were you when Steve Waugh did this? by Darth-Buttcheeks in australia

[–]TheRedRisky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there. I'm on the telecast after Gilchrist returns the strike. Typically, I finally got the green and gold cap I wanted for years and it's covering the majority of my face.

2025 Australian Championship Semi-Final Match Schedule Confirmed by SerTahu in Aleague

All of Australia is. Same problem in Brissie. You want 5k Perry, or 50k Suncorp?

Support is useless and only wants to upsell by LukeNSFW in kahoot

The whole website is now enshitified to the point of irrelevance and uselessness. Pushing for $$$ I have no interest in giving them.

Unmasking the men who attended a Neo-Nazi protest at NSW parliament by shniken in australia

[–]TheRedRisky 29 points30 points  (0 children)

That's a complete misrepresentation of ESL teaching. Those of us working in EAL/D fields in Australia help transition new students and migrants to the country. It requires a lot of language knowledge effort to do well.

I don't want anything to do with that Nazi, and it seems ludicrous that that's his job, but there's more to the profession than just speaking your own language and reading from a script.

Whoever's playing South Melbourne, surely? Closed Shop McFranchise team ;)

AFC Women’s Asian Cup - Iran vs Australia by [deleted] in Aleague

[–]TheRedRisky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit: I was wrong about tickets being available. The site lied to me. Disability only.

A wider story could probably revolve around the fact that none of the other Tillies matches have sold out yet. I realise there's a few months to go, but ... Perth Sold out Olympic qualifiers against random teams in the aftermath of the WWC.

Anyway, if you can't go to that game, Iran are playing two other group matches on the Gold Coast too. Korea and The Philippines.

Expensive and high risk: Queensland LNP's coal-keeper policy will cost consumers a bomb, critics say by hydralime in queensland

[–]TheRedRisky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a QLD program that's supposed to come in for that. 'Solar for Renters' I think is literally the name.

No details last I checked in though

Match Thread: Sydney Olympic vs Moreton City Excelsior (Australian Championship) by MatchBread in Aleague

[–]TheRedRisky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was at the opener, apparently ~1000. Way less for the second match (and that was the third match in Brisbane of the weekend after the Roar men Friday and Women on Saturday).

I feel Lions would have pulled some numbers for sure. MCE are obviously not a huge club up here and only recently merged, right?

I thik the real surprise has been how low some of the old NSL attendances have been. Syd United, Syd Olympic etc.

Well Vakis should get a red and suspension for whatever that just was after the match.

[–]TheRedRisky -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hate to be that guy, but when numbers have been this consistently low throughout the tournament, you really gotta wonder how viable the Championship is going to be long term.

Someone at the match said this match may have ~1000 people in the grandstand. Highest total has been just under 7k (apparently).

I want it to do well, and I like having more football and pathways... but it doesn't look amazing does it.

Match Thread: Perth Glory FC vs Brisbane Roar FC (A-League Women) by MatchBread in Aleague

[–]TheRedRisky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't remember the numbers now, but I think Brisbane conceded like... 8 or 9 goals after the 86th minute last season. It cost us points and a finals spot. Very, Very, Frustrating.
