Brisbane a ‘Laughing stock of Asia’
Print Edition
Brisbane Roar was slammed as the “laughing stock of Asia” and “truly embarrassing” yesterday after a shocking loss to Philippine minnow Ceres Negros in an AFC Champions League qualifier.
Roar suffered more embarrassment when some players’ shirt numbers peeled off during the game. The club lost the game 3-2.
The game turned farcical in the second half when Roar was reduced to 10 men after Eric Bautheac had to wait on the sidelines for several minutes after his number, 22, peeled off the back of his shirt. Bautheac returned to the field with a No.77 shirt with tape to make it look like a No.22. Roar coach John Aloisi blamed his players for their attitudes. “I won’t walk away ... I don’t give up,” Aloisi said.
