Player of the tour - Nutmeg, outstanding commitment to the cause!!!!!!!!
Without doubt the most fun Ive had on an away trip after the game.
First venue was slow then outstanding, Casino was well, Im sure some people won money but it wasnt me.
Great time had by all

After room service, come out square with what I won at the casino (maybe you need to stay there to win  ), well what can be said great start, then it all goes pear shapes from two deflections to Vidmar ~sigh~ Great work by Danny especially in blocking the three shots on goal in quick succession, looked a bit suspect in defencew at times down the centre and this was found out. Great signing at the pub before the game, all in all not a bad trip despite the result. |

a pretty dispiriting match really, the midfield had their arses handed to them, and i'm sure that the players and the boss know how to work onward and upward from there.
our support was excellent in patches too, but we succumbed to the lethargy of the performance i think and petered out for much of the second term.
ally and i were basically starving and exhausted by the end of the match, went back to the hotel and ate, had a nightcap and slept. not at all in the party mood, sadly. those c**tface queenslanders at the top of the bay at full time didn't help at all - i'm less likely to go and drink and party when i feel like jobbing people.

Hmmm didn't have any problems with the snore supporters, caught the bus back into the city and no comments were made.
As for the qld supporters in the "away" supporters bay, prehaps the Lang Park security nazis need to police that, rather than offensive christmas signs.

also what was with the supporter group with no colour on i had no idea who they were supporting at first welcome to football the way it is all over the world Not all over the world, just in certain places where people feel the need to be well 'ard and think that wearing pink polo shirts with the collar up helps them give the impression that they are. The logic behind it originally was that it was easier for hooligans to evade detection by the police and other authorities when they didn’t wear colours, they didn’t travel in groups and they would arrange to meet other teams’ groups somewhere away from the ground and other ‘general’ supporters to have a biff. This contrasts with the continental European ultras style of doing things where people often wear at least a club colours scarf (long bar scarves are particularly popular), march from place to place (i.e. station to stadium) in their groups with banners and all – aiming to be seen rather than evade detection. In Australia, there is little if any hoolie or ultras culture and whatever is there is a sort of tacked together amalgam of the two European based styles. In South America it’s different again, with the torcida style and whatnot – if you go to a superclassico in Buenos Aires you’ll see the home fans in colours and all singing and jumping and chanting for their teams. In Asia we’ve seen the amazing displays of the Red Diamonds fans recently – they’re in colours, as are most other clubs’ groups in different countries. Personally I find the Urawa fans the most amazing and inspiring fans to watch and hear, they’re just terrific in their noise and their organisation. I think they’d wallop any Euro teams for noise up to and including Milan, Dortmund, Liverpool and Besiktas fans. |

As a child of the 80's attending games throughout the UK, it wasnt about not being detected it was about not getting a kicking.
No one wore away colours because travelling across London's underground system or attending a game outside the capital could be fraught with danger.
Watching a 92/3 EPL game between Manure and Sheff Weds on Sat night (on Fox) was interesting to see the away fans and there were almost no scarves, colours etc.

Whether for these guys it was a deliberate tactic or not, it seems to hold true that they were out to start a blue, target someone in away colours, and it definitely takes police attention away from them.
Perhaps the cops and security aren't experienced enough yet with these kind of anomolies that are unique cultures to the world of football.
From what I saw, anyone in club colours for either side was trying to set a good example, and there were no actual incidents involving these people.
There are recurring stories in the media about using CCTV to identify and eliminate trouble-makers, so hopfully in time the correct people will be identified no matter what colour shirts they wear.

There was one unfortunate incident where one of ours threw a full beer at a Roar supporter. He was duly chasten by those around him and even pointed out to security, luckily for him the incident ended there. |

Those blokes to our right in no colors have been at the last 2 games up there. Didnt start trouble, just obviously like to support their club in other ways, like throw no money back into the club via merchandise. Good for them.

As a QLD follower (not supporter), you guys were the best supporters we have had up here this season. Good numbers with a half decent football game.
One special moment was the young lad and his old man having a sing - a - long at karoke on the sunday night. Well in lads.
