Not in this game, says Graham Arnold.The Sydney FC coach doesnt care what colour kit Brisbane wear - orange, white or Queenslands maroon.The third-placed Roar will attempt to end A-League leaders Sydney FCs perfect - 6-0 - season start in Saturdays home clash, a clash they are billing as a State vs State affair.They will run out in in a special maroon jersey for the first time when they face the sky blue of the visitors on Suncorp Stadium, also the home of Queenslands beloved State of Origin rugby league team, whove regularly dominated the NSW Blues.The colour switch is a big deal north of the Tweed River, with the jerseys presented to Roar players by Maroons Origin legend Billy Moore this week.It doesnt matter if its rugby league, football or marbles. When sky blue plays maroon, everyone north of the Tweed cares, Moore said.The significance, however, was lost on FC coach Arnold, who isnt buying into talk of a state rivalry in Australian soccer.Its not ruugby league, its football, Arnold told reporters on Thursday.dddddddddddd.It doesnt matter what colour jerseys theyre in. Theyre still the same human beings - same bodies, same talent, same quality.Well go up there with the intention of suffocating them.It could also bring bad luck. Theyve never worn maroon.Adding another element of spice was Roar defender Jade Norths recent description of the Sky Blues perfect start to the season as lucky, particularly in conceding a competition-best only two goals in 2016-17.Rather than lucky, Arnold believes it was their opposition who were fortunate not have succumbed to heavier defeats.All Ill say is last week, we had 47 entries into Perth Glorys penalty box ... and we only scored four goals, Arnold said.Were nowhere near the finished product. Were still operating at about 60-65 per cent of where well end up. ' ' '
