[edit] Away kit

Anyone know the colours of the away kit? I just had a stab at it, not sure if it's right. --Jimar 13:30, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

I think all A-league away strips are white shirts. Not sure about the shorts. AlbinoMonkey (Talk) 09:17, 13 August 2005 (UTC)


They are generally white but having seen a couple of them they all have a little colour in them. I think there may be two away designs shared by the club (4 & 4 is the split). They are in the shops now . --Tancred 00:01, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

Guys, we have them in blue at the moment, but I'm pretty sure they were in white at the weekend. Luther Blissett 05:45, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

All A-League teams away strip are white. The only thing that differentiates them are the club colours on the neck and arms of the shirt.

Due to an apparent mix-up (OK whose mum got it wrong?) Qld Roar played an Adelaide away game in white socks and their *home* tops on 20/1/08. Not sure if this is worth a mention in the main article. 1dragon (talk) 12:49, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Player positions

Stuart McLaren's position needs to be confirmed. Because he is Josh McCloughlan's replacement he may be a Center Back or Left Back. 144.140.31.5

Stu Mclaren's position is central back. Although he is about to leave the club due to work commitments very shortly.

Isn't Jordan Simpson a forward? I've only ever seen him play up front. 144.140.31.5 06:27, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

He was played up front, but his position is defensive midfielder. Another who will probably leave the club shortly.

[edit] Reinaldo Elias da Costa

Reinaldo Elias da Costa never played for Corinthians. Actually, he played for another team called Corinthians: Corinthians Alagoano, a club from Alagoas state. Read this link. The link has a brief biography of the player before his move to Queensland. It is Portuguese, unfortunately. I fixed the article. Regards, Carioca 20:30, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Restructuring

Hi all. I've restructured this article, according to the guidelines at Wikipedia:WikiProject Football. Please help expand the sections that are empty or lacking in content. Also, please discuss the proposal to merge the article on former players into the 'Noted players' section. Normally, this would only include players who have had a significant impact (e.g. played over 100 games), but with only one season under their belt, most/all former players can be included. Fedgin 20:36, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

hey... kinda like the way it is now but what about having a honour board kind of idea where lists exist for the 2005/6 season, the 2006/7 season etc. then the noted players section will grow and a record will be kept of all players. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Veed (talk • contribs) 00:54, 21 January 2007
Hi Veed, I like the additions you have made, but could you please provide references for many of the statements? (Even if you know it is true, people who read the article need to be able to easily verify statements made.)
Also, can someone verify the details about the supporters groups? I have only really heard of "The Den", which from reading the article appears to be the name of the supporters bay, not the group itself. Can someone clarify? -- Chuq 22:56, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Club History

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. Greekfire 11:21, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree, this article is stupid. Queensland roar has been around since 1957 under the names Hollandia, Brisbane Lions and Queensland Lions, why is there no history on the past of club. There is no other football club on wikipedia which has so little on its history. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.237.180.38 (talk) 11:11, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Crowd comparisons

Should we indicate how many home matches were played by each Brisbane team? For example, I’m sure the Queensland Reds didn’t play as many home games as Queensland Roar. --Executive.koala 11:59, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Official kits

Official kits for A-League 2007-08. Please do not revert The Frederick 15:48, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Updated with a reference --Squilibob 10:31, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nationalities

Stuart McLaren is Scottish and Hyuk Su-Seo is South Korean but both are shown in the players list with Australian flags alongside their names. Anyone know how to change this? Awotam 12:27, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

McLaren has Australian citizenship and Seo will be naturalised soon, making both players Australian in the eyes of the A-league, hence their Australian flags. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.165.153.194 (talk • contribs) 25 July 2007.
That is correct and besides, Queensland would be breaking the 4 foreign player rule otherwise. --Squilibob 10:31, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History

Is there a demand for a history of the club page as there is alot of history stuff, alot of figures, previous season positions, stats, etc. Think it is definitely worth looking into. Alexsanderson83 (talk) 06:48, 2 February 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Brisbane Roar

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)
