BRISBANE Roar coach John Aloisi says the club’s embarrassing AFC Champions League loss won’t be the catalyst for his resignation.

Aloisi’s men were upset 3-2 by unfancied Filipino champions Ceres-Negros, who are just two weeks into pre-season training, in Brisbane on Tuesday night.

But the real red-face moment came when Eric Bautheac was stranded on the sideline for more than five minutes without a shirt to wear after the No. 22 fell off his jersey.

It left Brisbane with just 10 men on the park in comical scenes that quickly spread around the world on social media.

Denied when attempting to return in the No. 30, the Frenchman was finally allowed back on the field wearing a strategically taped-up No. 77.

Socceroos great and Fox Sports pundit Mark Bosnich tore strips off the Roar in his post-match assessment of the situation.

“First and foremost we have to say congratulations to Ceres-Negros, I thought they deserved their win,” Bosnich said on Fox Sports.

“They played really good football and you saw just how much it meant to them right at the end and we have to say congratulations to them.

“As for Brisbane Roar and what went on tonight, the only thing I can say is to anyone that was watching this is to say on behalf of Australian football I’d like to apologise because that was truly embarrassing.

“I just said then, congratulations to Ceres-Negros, we saw how much it meant to them to win this game. Well we saw how much that meant to Brisbane with that farcical episode about the jerseys.

“If you don’t want to be in the competition for whatever reason, just pull out of the competition rather than have to put us through that — that was just absolutely embarrassing.”

“I really am speechless other than to say … just pull out of the competition because I’ve never seen that before in my footballing life,” Bosnich added.

“Not even when I was a junior playing under 10s here in Sydney. That was just absolutely ridiculous.

“Something’s gotta give after that … it just shows how much it means to them and how much it means to us to have that thing go on right there in the Asian premier competition.”

Former Socceroo Robbie Slater also voiced his disgust on Twitter.

The Roar sit eighth with four wins and four draws from 17 starts in the A-League season, with under-pressure coach Aloisi blasting his players post-game for what he viewed as a complacent and unprofessional performance.

Aloisi has promised changes ahead of Saturday’s A-League trip to Central Coast, which may also include the person in charge of uniforms after the coach embarrassingly shifted the blame on the Bautheac slip-up post game.

“There’s always pressure on a coach ... but I won’t walk away, I don’t give up,” he said.

“If the people up above want something different and don’t think I’m the man to take them forward then they’ll make the call but I won’t walk.”

Aloisi shrugged when asked why there wasn’t a spare, correctly-numbered shirt on hand. “I don’t know, I don’t do the jerseys ... what, do you want me to do everything?” he asked.

Change has already begun within the club after the surprise resignation of football director Craig Moore last week.

Aloisi says others could follow him if they don’t improve against the Mariners. “They’ve got an opportunity now to turn it around with 10 remaining games, and we’ve still got finals to play for,” he said.

“It’s up to them if they want to be a Brisbane Roar player or they don’t ... tonight was unacceptable, that’s not a Brisbane Roar player.”

Corey Brown, who was last week linked with a move to Melbourne Victory, is expected to return after missing Tuesday’s clash with a tight hamstring.
