This story is the only reason I am travelling to Canberra on Saturday, against my better financial judgement, and it's going to fucking suck if they get eliminated and there's no clear plan in place for new owners. A foundation team of the fucking league is now 90 minutes away from not existing.
I got one yellow card in my entire playing "career".
The ball was going out off their player, I let it go out for that reason. The linesman called it as my throw. I took the throw in only for the ref to blow up and show it the other way.
"You've got a linesman, use him".
๐จ.
No regrets.
That dag motors WH Centenary kit was my first ever kit.
I have it and the away shirt. They're peak 90s and I love them.
How many youngsters did we bring in to this series? And surely that should have been the point?
It was 2021 the last time a #BrisbaneRoar team reached the #A-League finals, and now the wait is over..
Roar Ladies will play Adelaide in Brisbane on 25 April in a one-off elimination final.
My latest for RoundBallAustralia tells how they did it.

Don't believe my eyes at some of the comments on the Brisbane Roar's Facebook page.
People's are upset they've missed out on W's finals tickets. If only there were a slightly bigger, more modern venue right next to a train line they could play at? ๐ค

This is great news for #BrisbaneRoar ahead of their #ALW ladies taking on Adelaide in a home elimination final.
Theyโve sold out the game in 24 hours!
Watch out for my latest article - including exclusive quotes with Roar coach Alex Smith - in the coming days.. ๐

Please do get started :p
Apparently Kayo and its extra 7000 seats isn't hard to get to though? ๐ค
I can kinda understand if they move to Perry for a grand final or the next leg, but for this match Spencer is perfect.
Just saw the comments on the roar Facebook post. Ridiculous! Where have they been all season?
Without the fightback id have been disappointed and angry. Once we hit the shootout, I actually got quite zen. We gave it a great shot, sad at the result, but we showed we can stay up.

Don't worry. They'll just fine then ยฃ10 and say good try!
Seriously though, they should have had points deductions through the nose and there should be serious consequences for this.
They should have had 3 goals in the final 7 minutes. Would have made our game less scary.
Big congrats to #BrisbaneRoar women, who secured a first finals appearance in 5 years with a 2-1 away win at Canberra just now.
After finishing the regular season with 3 straight wins, Alex Smithโs side have now earned a home elimination final with Adelaide on w/e 24-26 April..
#ALW #BRFC
Home elimination!!!!!!
I have never, ever, said anything bad about Chloe Lincoln and her goalkeeping... Ever.
What a save and what a time to do it!
Let's get everyone fit and firing for finals.
It'll be appealed, surely

OPINION: Whose legacy is It anyway? How the Matildas' hype is funding rival codes
While rival codes happily ride the coattails of the Matildas' hype, football remains one of the poorest funded sports per participant in the country.
