Official Koreans Abroad Thread Part IX [R]

This isn't affection, this is stupidity. Gay is not an insult.

 

Australian humour. You just go with it. It's used without harm or intent. Doesn't get used much around lately so don't jump on the PC bandwagon just yet.

 

I don't know if using "gay" as a way to diminish someone's skill is done without "harm" or "intent" mate. Nothing against you but that's just terrible.

 

I personally don't use that phrase but around pubs during the A-League season it's thrown around by alot of rugby league fans (probably since they got to stick with watching football on the plasma screens since the season finishes when the A-League is in full flight). I was just casually mentioning a small part of Australian soccer culture to BSK members that might have found it interesting as a miscellaneous fact.

It's immature really. But old habit die hard and most football fans just see it as being part of the Australian soccer culture whether it's PC or not. But seriously even a couple years ago the league (not so much these days); domestic football here was really painful to watch. Teams couldn't even string passes together and even the die-hardest of fans were hesitant in getting season tickets. I blame the salary cap which prevents foreign talent joining clubs here. Australian football needs to learn from Asian leagues especially Korea and Japan in the technical department.

 

going to play in the A-League is a decent opportunity and better to play professional than in a semi pro university league.

 

Relentless Roar overrun Glory​

Second-half strikes from George Lambadaridis and Do Dong-Hyun secured a comeback 2-1 win for Brisbane Roar in Saturday's National Youth League season-opener against Perth Glory.​

A bizarre own goal from the otherwise impressive James Donachie gifted Glory an early lead at Inglewood's Intiga Stadium, before Roar deservedly levelled through Lambadaridis' deflected free-kick and Do's fine individual effort duly sealed the points seven minutes from time.​

Donachie's moment of madness came in the 10th minute when he attempted what should have been a regulation back-pass to goalkeeper Nicholas Tubbs, but got his angles all wrong and ended up rolling the ball into the far corner of the net.​

To their credit, however, the Queenslanders responded well to the early blow and carved out the better chances as the first half wore on.​

Keen to move the ball out wide to Korean import Do and the lively Kwame Yeboah, Roar asked plenty of questions of the Glory backline and kept home goalkeeper Devon Spence on his toes.​

Spence foiled Yeboah with his legs on 16 minutes and then stood his ground well just before the break when Yeboah carved out the best opportunity of the opening period. Cutting in from the right, he teed up Kenneth Dougall whose initial shot struck the foot of the post before Spence parried his follow-up effort at the expense of a corner.​

Despite the hot conditions and bumpy surface, both sides continued to try and get the ball down and play and as the game became more stretched after the break, the chances began to flow at either end.​

Firstly Glory's Moses Kalau saw his fierce shot kept out by Tubbs, then moments later Borbor Sam wasted a great opportunity to double the home side's advantage when he was sent clean through on goal by Brandon O'Neill only to fire wastefully wide from just inside the box.​

Having survived those early scares, Roar lifted their game and both Ross Archibald and Anthony Proia went close to finding the net before Lambadaridis finally restored parity with just under 20 minutes to go.​

The midfielder's 25-metre free-kick clipped the top of the wall and the deflection was enough to deceive Spence who went one way while the ball cannoned into the opposite corner.​

Spence then produced two fine saves to deny Lambadaridis and Do in quick succession as the visitors finished the stronger, but he was helpless seven minutes from time when the impressive Korean weaved his way past several defenders on his way into the box and calmly found the bottom corner.​

Do Dong-Hyun @ Brisbane Roar 2012-2013




Brisbane Roar NYL: 0 - Melbourne Victory NYL: 1
At Goodwin Park, Yeronga - October 28, 2012.


Do Dong-Hyun played a full 90 minutes for the Brisbane Roar Youth team in their first home game of the National Youth League season against Melbourne Victory, and it was a case of history repeating as they also had a 1-0 loss and played in similar vein to their senior counter parts in the A-League last night. Do started the game on the left and after 35 mins, switched flanks with Fitzgerald.

According to the Roar Review:
Dong-Hyun. I have to say, I think Do is still trying to adapt to the more physical nature of Australian Football. That was evident in the Round 1 game in Perth, and it was on show once again today. He continually tried to fake the fullback out wide and cut back inside, and every time he tried it the defender read it. He was also pushed off the ball far too easily for mine.

 

These are always interesting. I would make KBK's a bit more sunny and KSY's even sunnier

Fulltilt, for BR, wrote: Do played possibly the best game he has played all season - i think the biggest challenge seems to be in him adjusting his style of play to our possession style of football and I am not sure that it will happen overnight for him . I am sure it is exacerbated by the language issue. That aside he showed he can be very dangerous if we can pick him out accurately with a diagonal switched ball from midfield that he can pick up on the edge of the box. We did it at least 4 times and he showed great skill in collecting and running at the defender into the box, with the ball at his feet - he caused them some grief. The Roar goal was just that. Maybe we should take advantage of his skill rather force a spossible round peg into a square hole.

Interesting observation was that MH seemed to have more of focus on getting goal side than shutting us down when we had posession in our own half. They seemed content to let us play it out when we had the ball at the back and in our own half, rather than shut us down in our defensive third. Only when we crossed the half way did they show some urgency in shutting down the man with the ball. maybe we should taken advantage of that time on the ball and exploited Do on the edge of the box by drawing the defence across and switching the ball to him on the edge of the box. wehn we did it we looked dangerous and Do seemed to know to stay wide to collect and attack from just outside the box.

Do, who had been effective on his left, cut inside on his right in the 36th minute, but Abbott did well to block his shot
Omnisport, for Football Australia, wrote: ...After going ahead in the opening minute thanks to a Zac Walker strike, the Heart were made to pay for some wasteful finishing when Do Dong-Hyun levelled the scores in the 22nd minute...
Despite the early set-back, Brisbane were slowly able to work themselves back into the game with winger Do looking particularly dangerous. And it was the South Korean who levelled the scores in the 22nd minute following a long pass out of defence by Yuji Takahashi. Do was able to control the ball before shrugging off Jeremy Walker and scoring past Alastair Bray from a tight angle...
The goal gave the away side momentum and they began to dominate the game, with a brilliant double save from Bray in the 40th minute, to first deny Do and then Anthony Proia, keeping the scores level at half-time...
...the ever-present Do forged another chance for his side after cutting in from the left before playing a brilliant reverse ball to Jordan Lambi but he couldn't find a way past Bray who saved well. Do soon had a chance to score himself after another brilliant run left him with only Bray to beat from a tight angle but his shot was turned away for a corner.

 

Do Dong-Hyun @ Brisbane Roar 2012-2013
Do played a full match for the (Reserves) Youth team - he must be close to a call-up for the Senior team, after their embarrassing loss to Melbourne Heart; in the process dropping from second last, to bottom.

National Youth League: Roar beat spirited AIS 4-2
Omnisport for FFA - Saturday, 10 November 2012

A waterlogged pitch may have delayed kick-off by 30 minutes at Goodwin Park but the rainy conditions couldn't dampen the spectacle for fans as the Brisbane Roar Youth overcame a spirited AIS team 4-2 in their National Youth League clash.
Early goals from Benjamin Liftin and Do Dong-Hyun for the Roar were cancelled out by efforts from the Institute's Alexander Gersbach and Scott Galloway, but Brisbane took the advantage into the break as Anthony Proia scored in the shadows of half-time before Kenneth Dougall sealed an entertaining match in the second half.
In the early stages, the Roar seemed to be coping better with the super slow pitch while the AIS lost possession on several occasions due to the ball simply stopping dead as the home side kept their passing simple.
... Brisbane were back in front as lively South Korean left back Do Dong-Hyun curled in what was probably meant to be a cross from way out on the left. Amazingly, the ball ended up in the back of the AIS net after Thurtell let it slip through his fingers.
...The action never stopped in a frantic half of football. After 33 minutes, Dong-Hyun continued to torment the AIS goalkeeper by dancing past defenders in the danger area, but this time Thurtell managed to push his effort away.
...The goalkeepers at either end were both called into action before the Roar took the lead for the third time. Do caught Thurtell in two minds and as he advanced the 'keeper was easily rounded by the South Korean, who crossed to Proia for a simple finish.
