Well, it’s finally here. Roar Blog‘s (not so) grand opening! I had been playing with the idea of starting up a blog about the Queensland Roar for some time now, but most of my energy of late has gone into my other blog; Arsenal FC Blog. You’ll notice it’s a little bit more professional looking than this one is at this point in time, and for this reason I did think about delaying the opening of this blog until it was polished up to a similar level.
But then I thought, stuff that, that is not what Roar Blog is about. The point of this site is to give the Australian (and International – if they really feel like it) community the chance to say what they want about the Queensland Roar, when they want. There are literally thousands of blogs about football clubs overseas, as an Arsenal fan and fellow blogger I am a subscriber to at least four just about Arsenal! Yet there are virtually none about local football. You have to wonder why – Australians love sport, and there are enough people in this country with enough knowledge about their football to make a blog like this work.
My point is simple – enjoy Roar Blog. It’s for you guys, the fans of Queensland’s football team, to discuss whatever it is you want to discuss. It’s also for me, using what football intelligence I have, to let you know about the latest goings on at the club and let you know what I think of Farina’s latest transfer target (Aloisi anyone?) or his latest tactical bungle.
I make just one promise to you, the loyal reader: check back here every day and you will see something new. I ask for one thing in return: your participation. Get in there, say what you want, and help make football in Australia and Queensland a success. The other codes say we lack tradition, strong club spirit and loyal fans – so let’s prove them wrong.
