QPR old boy Peter Skapetis has popped up with my hometown club in the Aussie A-League - Brisbane Roar. Didn’t Sparky take him to Stoke with him a few years ago? Can see why we let him go. Runs around like a headless chicken. |  |

He was one of those where his release was greeted with pitch fork protests and flaming torches - Ricky Sappleton, Josh Laurent etc.
Saw him play for the youth team a few times when he was here and he was one of those lads who'd developed quicker, physically, than the others. He had big legs and a big arse and a bit of physicality about him. Always a bit wary of those players, because what happens when everybody catches them up?
To be fair to him one of his knees exploded and then just as he was coming back from that the other one did the same so it was always going to be tough for him from that point on. |  | | |

I saw Laurent play a few weeks ago for Bury.
For a big lad, he was incredibly weak on the ball. A poor man's Mikele Leigertwood if that's possible. |  | | |

I really liked him from what I saw of him here. Still got half a chance I think. Did very well in a poor Hartlepool team in a physical league. | | | |

Is this thread going to be allowed to proceed and no one pick up on the obvious?
Which doppy Aussie dag(s) thought up the name: Brisbane Roar? Total guess, but I bet they employ some bellend to generate some atmos by urging the greatest footy fans in the world, to make some noise, while the tannoy booms out the sound of a pride of lions on heat.
Brisbane f.....g Roar, I sh1t ‘em!! |  |

It's a bit more complicated than that. The club was formed from another called Brisbane Lions which had started life as Brisbane Hollandia, hence Orange kit and the Lion badge a la Dutch National team. When the Aussie federation tried to de-ethnicise the clubs to broaden their appeal this club somehow got away with retaining their heritage.
So, Orange kit and what does a Lion do? - Roars. A bit of a clever d!ck way for them to hang on to the past. All bit corny if you ask me but they play good football and they are the local club so I support them. I always get a few "U Rs" when I wear the hoops to their home games. Much prettier than Orange.  | |

Are you saying the Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi FA, were practicing ethnic cleansing in Queensland, and while exterminating lions?
WTF? How come it’s only just come to light? Utter disgrace passing the Dutchies to the left hand side!
Surely we at the new socially aware and enlightened QPR should do something. Roar, I’m farkin’ livid son!! [Post edited 8 Oct 2017 3:51]

I was there around the time of the Cronulla Beach riots. Anyway, it’s all kicking off and some schmuk with a ‘We Grew Here, You Flew Here’ placard was interviewed. Moaning about ‘foreigners’ and his name was something like, Marko Visic!
Apologies to any Marko Visics out there who understand irony and/or aren’t pricks!! [Post edited 8 Oct 2017 4:04]

Worse...Perth Glory, and the happily defunct Melbourne Heart and North Queensland Fury. Fury hardly the right description for their "marquee" signing, a fat and apathetic Robbie Fowler. It would have been funny if some of the merchandise came out as North Queensland Furry. |  | | |
