Back on the air after an unplanned week off.
Also, don't be fooled by the brevity of the notes, the various sections have a bit more heft than Paul's truncated notes here indicate.
Some discussion about Paul's appearance (along with Roy Hay), on John Didulica's Football Belongs podcast series - especially on Paul's closing remarks from the episode, about what if any legacy one could glean from the Slavia vs VFL match from 1964.
Praise for Greg Stock and his liberating of Canberran soccer materials from various libraries. A little bit of a digression on Melbourne's Sporting Globe newspaper during the 1960s, and the problems of the soccer coverage there - which could be good, but is often missing matches that took place on Sundays, and thus is missing coverage of the leading team of the mid-1960s - South Melbourne, which played predominantly on Sundays.
This week's guest is Simon Boegheim from the Queensland Football History Project, to discuss the launch of the Football Queensland History website. Within this discussion we cover Simon's football history; how he got started in football history; the long trajectory to build (and maintain) the historical group; the assistance that tangible support from Queensland's soccer body (in the form of space provided for archives, and the website), and local council (professional scanning equipment); the importance of using social media to engage and maintain the interest of those interested in Queensland's soccer history; the particular spread out nature of Queensland, requiring the willingness to embrace soccer as it exists throughout Queensland, as well across both men's and women's soccer.
Finally, 100 Years Ago Today where we start with Buderim and preparations for the new season, and the pending harvest of crops; plans for a new club in Rockhampton, Rockhampton Celtic; in the Darling Downs, a new club to set up in Oakey; discussion of the leasing of the Exhibition Ground in Brisbane.
