The Roarcast

We welcome Scott Owen to the Roarcast Fan Files this week. Scott tells us about being part of the River City Crew, starting an unofficial news page about the Roar and how it's exploded in popularity to the point of now covering the Roar and the local NPL competitions.

More fun than putting David Ball in a headlock, or having to swim back up to Sydney to get a return flight like Dave, it's the Roarcast Episode 11!

We speak to Cate Lindsay, former Den member who had a large organisational role behind the scenes. We chat about how she got involved in the Den, the highs of putting together large scale tifos and the lows of being a target of some people vitriol online. We also discuss Cate's favourite away days and full pubs with the Mighty Seamen.

It is another big show as we review all the highlights, lowlights and floglights from the A-League, while wondering is watching the game in fast motion better or worse for you? Big time moment Em Gielnik steps up again, keeping us in with a faint chance of winning the league with a timely hat trick, as Hecher scores when she was most certainly definitely unrefutably onside. We also have a stop into the wonderful NPL and relive a couple of great highlights from the match on the weekend. Round it off with a bit of fun and some tipping and that is your lot for the week. Get around it!

We meet Patrick Lindsay, a member of the Den from it's very origins.  We discuss the early days of the Den and how an online message board he started became a central hub for Roar fans, building an active supporter base for a new club, the innovations that pushed the Den to it's highest of heights and finally why he decided to walk away from it all.

The A-League team’s form line is reading like Melbourne Victory’s, ouch. That’s okay we’ll look to the W-League team to continue their strong form…. Oh…. That’s okay because the NPL is back and we kicked it off in style! Yeah, get around them. We analyse the big clash against Sydney in the AL, wonder if anyone thought about where the away fans were located at Dolphins, look at what seemed to go wrong against Canberra in the Dub and have some fun with back by popular demand Pricey quick game! Get around it.

This week we meet More Than A Game co-host Colby List. Colby is a Central Queensland born Brisbane fan that lives in Melbourne.  We chat with Colby about his 2011 grand final experience, how some randoms at the pub ended up becoming his Roar mates and trying to stay impartial when discussing football on a podcast.

A slightly quieter show this week as the W-League freshen up with a week off. So, it was left to the A-League team in Perth to provide the entertainment. We discuss how we ended our barren run of goals, but still wasted chances, the big penalty call, kick Dan off the show for agreeing with Robbie Slater and hope for a change in fortune for FuckSydneyWeek. We also run through some news and have a little fun. Just a nice simple normal Roarcast.

This week we meet Melbourne based Roar fan Dirga Ong. We discuss his efforts trialling with a Singapore Premier League side, the unusual reason he missed the 2011 grand final, the creation of Roar Fans in Melbourne and how he went from trying to be funny in the A-League Memes comments section to trying to write funny jokes for Simon Hill.

It is a big return for Larissa Crummer, Em Gielnik remains on fire and we eventually remember to discuss the goal of the week. Really just another standard game for our W-League team as they chase top position. Fuck Sydney week gets rounded out with a bit of drawball for a second week in a row, but what subs should be made when? We discuss our travel plans to Nepal and Newcastle, break some news, see if Pricey can actually win a Dave’s game and round it out with some tipping. Get around another episode of the Roarcast!
