A knee injury of the worst kind for Hosine Bility
48 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Brisbane Roar lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Point won or two lost for Brisbane Roar?
Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Macarthur FC? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.
