Football of any code is often associated with men. Men play it, men watch it, men breathe it. While this may be true for some, the amount of women that saturated Queensland Roar’s Saturday night game against Perth Glory speaks volumes for women’s role in football…the soccer variety that is.
Women with their partners, mothers with their children and even large groups of young women, from teens to twenties without a male counterpart, were in attendance.
One group of girls, with an average age I assume of 15, talk non-stop behind me about crosses, formations, ball control and of course they take a few moments to heckle the opposition bench. So what do they think of the male-bias stereotype?
“It’s stupid. Anyone can look around and see that girls enjoy the game as much as guys. And we’re not all here just to check out the players, we want to watch good football and see some good skill,” 15-year-old Ashley from Toombul tells me, throwing me slightly with her maturity. I leave them to enjoy the game, watching them bite their fingernails as the clock ticks on.
Not too far away, Lauren from Bardon, a blonde, model-type, probably the furthest away from most people’s stereotype of a female football fan, and her boyfriend David are regulars at Queensland Roar games.
However, Lauren says that despite most people’s first impressions, she is the crazy fan and her boyfriend hasn’t a clue when it comes to the world game.
“David doesn’t really watch soccer so I’m the one who drags him to the games. It’s funny because sometimes people will give us funny looks when I’m the one up screaming and David is the one asking me to explain the offside rule,” she laughs.
So it’s all about the football?
“Of course I enjoy admiring the players other talents, some of them are pretty nice to look at,” she laughs.
“The fact that they are skilled players just adds to that and if I wasn’t interested in the game itself I wouldn’t come.”
Co-founder of well known supporters club Roar Rejects, Richie Armstrong, says that while women are a minority at football matches, they are more than welcome.
“We have almost 30 women who are members of the Roar Rejects and about 10 families on top of that. They get into it as much as the boys do and we definitely encourage any females that are interested in the games to join the Rejects and enjoy the atmosphere we bring.”
One of the many female members of the Roar Rejects, 19-year-old Bec, says that it’s the atmosphere that keeps her coming back.
“The games have got a great atmosphere and it’s also a good place to hang out with your mates who are there for the same reasons; to support the Roar and have a good time.”
Once again however, Bec is not the stereotypical female football fan.
“I also like to dance, like ballet and stuff, and I like to shop…a lot.”
Queensland Roar draw a diverse and broad range of fans to the matches and for the most part all co-exist in harmony. Men don’t seem to have a problem with women’s growing interest in football both as competitor and spectator, more often than not, encouraging the change.
However I suspect that even if the welcome mat was not rolled out, women, teenagers and families would flock to the games en mass anyway.

Roar gambles on da Costa
By Bernie Pramberg and wires
December 14, 2005
BRAZIL striker Reinaldo Elias da Costa will start training with Queensland Roar early next week and is likely to play in an intraclub practice match on December 22.
Reinaldo, 21, is scheduled to arrive in Brisbane on Sunday and is likely to be rushed into the side to play A-League leader Adelaide United on New Year's Day.
The new signing is an unknown quantity and coach Miron Bleiberg concedes an element of "gamble" surrounds the 192cm forward.
Roar resumed training yesterday after a 10-day break with key defender Josh McCloughan confident of returning for the away game against Adelaide.
McCloughan, 30, has been sidelined with a groin injury since November 4.
He was consistently rated among Roar's best performers before he was injured during a 1-0 away win over Melbourne Victory.
"When I did the damage, Tony Ganter (team physiotherapist) planned to have me back on the field for the Adelaide game," he said.
"It looks like we're well on track and I'd say I'm about 90 per cent at the moment. By the middle of next week I'll start to run at 100 per cent and don't expect any problems."
Bleiberg said the break was welcomed by the squad which had been training together for almost 40 weeks.
"One thing I can guarantee is that we will be giving it everything in our last six games and all our opponents will know they've been playing a good team," he said.
"If we don't make it to the finals ourselves, we will certainly have a say in who does.
"We don't want to play our remaining games thinking about finals. It's important that the team tries to play without that type of pressure and relaxes enough to produce our best football. I just want our players to focus on their own performances and play to the best of their ability."
Roar's opening two matches of 2006 are away to Adelaide and Perth Glory, but it will play three of its last four games at Suncorp Stadium, starting against Melbourne on January 15.
Melbourne is not expected to appeal against skipper Kevin Muscat's three-game ban for violent conduct despite expressing disappointment at the severity of the penalty.
Muscat became the first A-League player to appear before a Football Federation Australia disciplinary hearing on Monday night.
He received a two-game ban for violent conduct during Melbourne's round-15 loss to Sydney and a one-match suspension for accumulating four yellow cards.
A gutted Muscat, solicitor Chris Nikou and Victory officials Gary Cole and Darren Gosling refused to comment as they left FFA headquarters in Sydney on Monday night.
It is the second time this season Muscat has been banned.
He served a one-match suspension against Newcastle in round 12 after getting a red card against Roar the previous week.

Roar sign 'best young striker'
SBS
The Queensland Roar have acquired the services of a player Socceroos technical manager Ron Smith describes as "Australia's best young striker", David Williams, for the remainder of the A-League season.
The 17-year-old Brisbane product, who has represented Australia at both under-17 and under-20 levels, has been brought into the Roar squad as a replacement for injured striker Reece Tollenaere, who has suffered complications with his injured cheekbone.
Roar coach Miron Bleiberg revealed his excitement at signing Williams, who he describes as one of Australia's best prospects "since Harry Kewell".
"David is probably one of the best prospects we have had in Australia since Harry Kewell and credit should go to all the people that have been involved in his development so far," Bleiberg said.
"As the club representing Queensland we are very happy to have this state’s most promising talent on board."
He added: "It is flattering for us to get a player who has recently spent time with Anderlecht in Belgium and with Liverpool, who are the current European Champions."
"At the end of the day he liked what he saw here at Queensland Roar and has chosen to come to us. I would like to think that he will have a role to play in our pursuit of a place in the finals."
Williams himself declared his commitment to the Roar's push towards the finals.
"As a Brisbane-born player I'm very happy to have this chance to play for Queensland Roar," he said.
"I hope I can make the most of the opportunity and help the team make it to the finals."
good to see aussie clubs signing australian youngsters from the u/23's and so on
Yes I hope he helps us into the top 4.
His kinda young, i dont really see him taking over your first XI strikers.
F*** (not sure if you can swear on SP) 1 - 0 loss from Melb Vic ! AAARGHH, so many wasted opportunities, we need to start attacking faster and alot more agressively. By the time we got near the 18 yard it was already clogged up with 5 or 6 melb players (good defence by melb but still). And when Richter and the other winger do make those great runs, there needs to be more consistancy with the crosses both at the recieving end and the kick itself. What happened to those great "1,2's" and cool looking plays in the centre Queensland were using in the beginning. They definately have some work to do to get into the finals.
I'm now attemting to achieve the un-achievable, predicting the A-league results 
. For us (Qld roar) to get to the finals Central coast would have to lose and draw twice at the most (meaning Qld winning 3 times) or Central coast doing even worse like losing all three matches.
Either way we have to win twice and draw once at the least, and we'd be really lucky to scrape away with a result of 28 pts. I didn't take Perth and Melb into to account too much because I predicted them getting another 4 pts (games against NZ are much easier to predict) as a mediocre total and I'm pretty sure Newcastle will come 3rd.
Its going to be tough getting into the finals.
*Sorry if I didn't take proper recognition of other teams, its written from a Qld supporter's perspective.

It does look like its going to be very tough though and that Melbourne match was Bull****.

Bleiberg decision must wait
AAP
Embattled A-League coach Miron Bleiberg was dealt another blow on Tuesday when Queensland Roar chief executive Lawrence Oudendyk failed to guarantee his future at the club.
Oudendyk refused to quash speculation linking former Socceroos boss Frank Farina and Australian staff coach Johan Neeskens to the role currently occupied by Bleiberg.
Bleiberg has another year remaining on his contract but Queensland's poor season - that has them on the verge of missing the finals - could see his tenure cut short.
He urged club management earlier this week to end speculation over his job ahead of the Roar's vital away clash against Newcastle on Australia Day.
What he got instead was a side-stepping Oudendyk dodging the contentious issue.
"A decision on the future of the coach and the players will be made at the end of the season," Oudendyk said.
"That's all I'm prepared to say."
"There's still two more games left this season."
Oudendyk would not confirm whether reports the Roar met with Farina and Neeskens last week were accurate.
The sixth-placed Roar (24 points) needs to win their final two games and rely on other results to be any chance of progressing past the season's preliminary rounds.
Queensland's final opponents - Newcastle (31) and Central Coast (28) - currently sit above them on the ladder with only the Mariners capable of being hauled in by them.
Central Coast, who play Melbourne on Friday, lie in fourth spot ahead of Perth (26), the Roar and Melbourne (23).

Bleiberg is a dumbass who's always complaining when his team doesn't win. Just like Wenger.
I agree that he's made SOME bad decisions, but I don't think they should get rid of him. Queensland has played some of the best attacking football out of all of the teams this season, they've just had some trouble with finishing. We also have to remember that this is the FIRST season of the A league, there is always going to be some inconsistencies in a new team. It would be stupid if all the teams that didn't make the finals got rid of their coach.
what about the teams who were on course for the finals but still felt the need to get rid of their coach?? (Perth...)
Nick Theo.... would do a better job than bleiberg imo. Bleiberg should concentrate more on his team than other coaches comments or other external things that he whinges about.
Bleiberg shouldnt of been appointed in the first place, i mean like where the f**k did he come from and what is his reputation compared to the likes of Nick Theo....
Was Bleiberg in charge of the Lions when they were in the QLD state league?

nope i didnt - im not a fan of miron, he annoys the shit out of me, What did he say?
Miron is a dickhead..
he's like.. "fact 1..." says some shit, all the way up to "fact 5"
Among those "facts" were 'Miron Bleiberg is a good coach, he put together a good team with a shoestring budget.' - I bullshit you not. He referred to himself in the 3rd person. F-cking arrogant loser. He's been waiting a long time for a big win to get some shit off his chest.

lol yeah it did seem that way didnt it, he was just waiting for a win so he could let all that out, a bit late isn't it miron.
Was funny though and he reminded me alot of Mourinho, and I had a good laugh, not the first time that he's been labelled as the aussie mourinho either.
Qld were quite good throughout the whole match, with the help of newcastle being shit, syd fc just have to finish second over those wanks, newcastle are shite. I rate qld much better than them, not just because of tonight but over the whole season, qld just play better football and i like their players more.
But yeah the game was pretty good, qld really desereved that and finished well every time they went foward.
Miron will stay coach for next season i reckon.

I think he has an Israeli background.
He is so arrogant. I really have no time for him after the Kosmina incident. He comes out and slags Rech and then when Kossie gives him some back he has a moan.
And yeah...his fact 5 was praising himself in the third person like tifoso said. I will cap it tomorrow and upload it so you can see. I couldn't believe it.

Great win by Queensland. Brosque is your driving force at the moment. I'm looking forward to seeing Reinaldo too.
A very poor result for Newcastle in front of a big crowd there, 10,800. That is close to their best crowd this season isn't it? And they got thumped

Farina blasts Roar rumours
By John Taylor
January 29, 2006
FORMER Socceroos coach Frank Farina yesterday denied he had met with Queensland chairman John Ribot about taking over from Miron Bleiberg at Queensland Roar.
Speculation is rife that Bleiberg will become another A-League casualty and won't see out the second year of a two-year deal and that the Roar has Farina earmarked to take over.
"It's the silly season approaching for coaches and players," the former Australia coach said yesterday. "My name has been linked with just about every club.
"I wouldn't rule out a return to coaching - it's in my blood. But I am in no rush. I am enjoying myself now (away from coaching) and I am looking at other interests outside of football."
Farina admitted he had heard there was unrest at the Queensland club.
"Miron's his own man but I suppose where there's smoke there's fire. Something is going on - there are obviously issues," he said.
"However, I haven't had any official approach from the club. If something came up, of course, I'd listen."
Farina is a hero in Queensland, having coached the Brisbane Strikers to their sole national league grand final victory against Sydney United in front of 40,446 at Suncorp Stadium in 1997.
He said he was on the same flight to Brisbane with Sydney FC last Friday.
"People try to put two and two together but I was simply going up there (Queensland) to see a friend about other things," Farina said.
"As for meeting with John Ribot, it certainly didn't happen. The last time I had contact with John was during a pre-season Cup match in Cairns.
"My name has also been linked with Sydney. Can you imagine how I felt when I saw Pierre Littbarski (Sydney coach) and Ian Crook (assistant coach) at the same hotel where I was staying in Brisbane? I had no idea Sydney were staying there.
"The Socceroos used to stay at this place - that's the only reason I was there."
There remains uncertainty about Littbarski's future at Sydney because of finances, while there could be a changing of the guard at Queensland (Bleiberg), Melbourne (Ernie Merrick) and Perth, where Alan Vest took over after Steve McMahon's sacking. There are even grumblings at Newcastle Jets with manager Richard Money.

FORMER Socceroos coach Frank Farina yesterday denied he had met with Queensland chairman John Ribot about taking over from Miron Bleiberg at Queensland Roar.
Speculation is rife that Bleiberg will become another A-League casualty and won't see out the second year of a two-year deal and that the Roar has Farina earmarked to take over.
"It's the silly season approaching for coaches and players," the former Australia coach said yesterday. "My name has been linked with just about every club.
"I wouldn't rule out a return to coaching - it's in my blood. But I am in no rush. I am enjoying myself now (away from coaching) and I am looking at other interests outside of football."
Farina admitted he had heard there was unrest at the Queensland club.
"Miron's his own man but I suppose where there's smoke there's fire. Something is going on - there are obviously issues," he said.
"However, I haven't had any official approach from the club. If something came up, of course, I'd listen."
Farina is a hero in Queensland, having coached the Brisbane Strikers to their sole national league grand final victory against Sydney United in front of 40,446 at Suncorp Stadium in 1997.
He said he was on the same flight to Brisbane with Sydney FC last Friday.
"People try to put two and two together but I was simply going up there (Queensland) to see a friend about other things," Farina said.
"As for meeting with John Ribot, it certainly didn't happen. The last time I had contact with John was during a pre-season Cup match in Cairns.
"My name has also been linked with Sydney. Can you imagine how I felt when I saw Pierre Littbarski (Sydney coach) and Ian Crook (assistant coach) at the same hotel where I was staying in Brisbane? I had no idea Sydney were staying there.
"The Socceroos used to stay at this place - that's the only reason I was there."
There remains uncertainty about Littbarski's future at Sydney because of finances, while there could be a changing of the guard at Queensland (Bleiberg), Melbourne (Ernie Merrick) and Perth, where Alan Vest took over after Steve McMahon's sacking. There are even grumblings at Newcastle Jets with manager Richard Money.

I just don't think he's THAT bad, and I also think its worth keeping him for another season just to see what pans out. Like I've said before, it's the first season and a nearly new team for Queensland Roar.
