Just strikes me as odd that there's nothing about it on the City website. These matches were once the talk of the town.

I don't think that this is the case at all. The last I read on this subject was that the match will be continued "in April." My guess is that it will be the final match of the season, and it wouldn't surprise me that if nothing hangs on the result then it won't take place at all. As I expected, the whole sorry episode has receded into the background, and there has been no further information on sanctions applied to individuals or any further actions being taken by MV (or any other club) on control of their "fans." The "blackest day in Australian football" has disappeared into a black hole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "blackest day in Australian football" has disappeared into a black hole. This is of course, part 2 of our home derby, whereas this weekend is an away derby. They are, as you say, two completely separate events. Fwiw I reckon part 2 will go ahead, though by then will likely be a dead rubber except for bragging rights.

Le Hack Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Curtis Good back, so will he partner Lam or Reis? Or will Reis go back to RB or will they give it back to Talbot? I'd prefer to see Talbot Lam Good Bos but I can see the attraction in letting Bos off the leash and Reis playing more defensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neio Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 I know it's a derby and the old anything can happen etc. But I think we could absolutely belt them. They are really really average. Start fast and out one on the board early, their fairweather fans will start to leave and we put them to the sword and completely put an end to their faint finals chances 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a squad of considerable strength, our back four is, comparatively, our weakest link. This is of course relative, only Western Sydney have conceded fewer goals this season. But nevertheless, for a team which is streets ahead of the opposition (enjoy it, even the best don't last forever) we've conceded some howlers. So I suspect he's trying out some different combinations, as well as resting players in the midst of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityWildcat Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Laughable coverage from ''reporters'' logging in to FB. I cannot be arsed attending, frankly. Despite loving what our team are doing this season. Don't want to pay MVFC 10yrs Active member, but don't want to stand in a far corner of our ground with a bunch of kids who think it is cool to hurl flares. Disgusted that OSM are still firing up same old same old ........despite big words from their club after the December disgrace Appalled at the ''yes sir, thank you sir'' statement of humiliation from the City Terrace kids after their ''meeting'' with the APL Not too impressed with the Financial Fair Play shenanigans at Manchester City FC, who I have zero regard for and even less interest in. See you in front of the TV. Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted February 18 Author Report Share Posted February 18 IMO the present cloud of malaise hanging over the A-League has its root cause back in December. Instead of building on the national team's best-ever World Cup performance, APL managed to strike at one of the fundamental basics of the game here and sell the hosting of the Grand Final to Sydney, and for a relative pittance at that. What followed at the Derby was unacceptable, but IMO again the response from the administrators was inadequate, as IMO it was from the two clubs as well. What actually has been put in place to ensure that it does not happen again? I have never been to an "away" Derby, so I cannot say that I am deterred from going tonight by present circumstances. But I fully understand why some people, indeed many people, would make the decision to stay away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think any of my crowd are going. The fine friend who dragged me to my first away derby earlier this season has cashed in his membership (this a bloke who travelled away and edited a fanzine) and the events in December have put all the others offside to some degree or another. I was troubled by the adolescent wannabe hoolies up our corner in that first away derby and I don't want to share space or air with them again.

I can only assume they have a partnership with each other (the stadium and ticketek) across the board with all their events and thus we are merely along for the ride.
