Brisbane Roar Issues Statement on Comments from Central Coast Mariners

January 1, 2026
In a bold response to recent allegations made by the interim head coach of Central Coast Mariners, Brisbane Roar Football Club has addressed comments that implied serious misconduct on the part of the Club and its personnel following last night’s match. These assertions, according to Brisbane Roar, are not only inappropriate but also reckless, lacking any factual basis.
The Roar firmly states that at no point did the club, its officials, or coaching staff engage in actions that could be deemed disrespectful to the game. Any claims suggesting otherwise are completely dismissed.
Moreover, the mention of police involvement by the opposing coach has been described as misleading. It is important to clarify that law enforcement was already present at the venue as part of normal match-day procedures, and there was no need for police intervention regarding the conduct of Brisbane Roar or its team members.
It is vital for prominent figures in the sport to uphold a standard of accuracy and fairness in their public statements, ensuring that serious allegations are not made without proper evidence. Unfortunately, this standard was not upheld in this instance.
Due to the gravity of the insinuations presented and the potential damage to the club’s reputation, Brisbane Roar is currently seeking legal counsel to address the remarks made by the interim head coach of the Mariners and is evaluating all possible actions moving forward.
At this time, no additional comments will be provided.
