I'll pull out some pics...
 
 
 
These two and co vs...
 
Brisbane
 
EDIT: I can't get the f**king Roar logo in so I'll have to use words !
 
 
 
I'm gonna say Tiatto to break Millers leg in half. Hoping for an epic 3-3 draw. But think Gold Coast will pinch it 1-0.

*three to be omitted*

In: 18.James BROWN (promoted), 15.Tahj MINNIECON (promoted), 17.Matt OSMAN (promoted).

Out: Nil

Unavailable: 4.Daniel PIORKOWSKI (ankle injury � indefinite), 5.ROBSON (knee injury � 2 weeks), 8.JEFFERSON (knee injury � indefinite)

Brisbane Roar squad: 1. Matt HAM (gk), 2. Andrew PACKER, 3. Luke DEVERE, 4. Craig MOORE (c), 5. Josh McCLOUGHAN, 7. Michael ZULLO, 8. Massimo MURDOCCA, 9. Sergio VAN DIJK, 11. REINALDO, 12.Matthew MUNDY, 13. HENRIQUE, 14. Adam SAROTA, 15. Matt McKAY, 17. Mitch NICHOLS, 18. Danny TIATTO, 20. Griffin McMASTER (gk), 21. Tommy OAR, 22. Ivan FRANJIC, 23. Tim SMITS

Roar up 1-0. Matt McKay. Hopeless clearance from Culina.

Wow... The commentators really don't like Pantelidis...
 
Though it is his 10th yellow.

Pantylidis is a poor man's Feverish.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

am I wrong or Miller isn't really getting a proper 'treatment' like they Roar gave Kruse when he went back a few weeks ago?
The Roar fans are ripping into him, but I am yet to see any blood.

After going ahead and dominating the game as they did, Brisbane should have got a second goal but they didn't look sharp enough up front. First 30 minutes Gold Coast were playing real bad. Smeltz, Porter, Miller all making some terrible touches. Smeltz standing offside all day as he often does. Ah well, he'll beat the Italian offside trap soon enough.
 
I predicted a draw, so I'll hope for that. Gold Coast have the players to win goals up front, but a defence that can give away games.

11th I think, and his 3rd yellow card suspensiopn of the season.  What a knob

What offside trap? With Chiellini, Cannavaro and possibly Materazzi they'll be no need to beat the offside trap, just go around them and score another 3 goals!! :D

It's because Miller isn't a cock, unlike Kruse.

How's my driving? - Whine here

Smeltz makes it 5-1. Even Ferrante would have scored that.
