Victory 3-0

 

[Zidane98]

Original rivalry is the correct term for the MVFC / Adelaide games. It's the longest standing rivalry in the A-League. Not a derby with clubs from different states / cities.

Includes:

• Throat grabs
• Pissants
• Goals galore
• Big crowds
• Drama aplenty

Expect the narrative for Saturday night's latest iteration will be Fournaroli vs Irankunda. Both teams playing exciting stuff, anything could happen.


I reckon the crowd will be 20k +.



Can't wait!

 

[Colonial]

Let’s see how we can suck this week

As an Adelaidian, I can confirm that that pissant derby does not compare to the genuine hate teams that are 5,000km away hold.

Correct I’ve changed the thread title.

Andy Redmayne is cooked. Should have retired last year

 

[Munga]

City looking sharper already

Smurfs are pretty turgid though.

Suspect Bimbi is the next gaffer to get the chop.

 

[giggler99]

3 matches without a goal for Sydney FC how long can they keep this up before the fans and the Sydney football media mafia get really restless?

I was telling my son about Vidmar and Pissants the other day. Glad he got the city job

Hopefully this is the pin that pops the balloon

 

[Andonis1997]

That was fun I can't be too mad with the Mens and Women's teams being #1 at the same time for a few hours

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Cracking game so far in the Original Derby

 

[apollo_creed]

The Adelaide RB with the dreads is an a-grade spud. Deer in headlights with the ball and can’t defend.

Irankunda has been very poor today.

Adelaide were pretty crap away last season as well.

 

[SM]

Wooo!

 

[apollo_creed]

Blatant second yellow. Unlucky first yellow.
Very dumb though on a yellow and committing a challenge like that.

Had no chance of getting anywhere near the ball so no idea why he even tried to tackle.

Don't know why Victory supporters booed the decision or Irankunda when its totally there.

Tells you all you need to know.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Why are Vuck flogs constantly booing Irankunda ?
Pathetic and boorish behaviour

 

[Andonis1997]

Why are Vuck flogs constantly booing Irankunda ?
Pathetic and boorish behaviour

And they're dumb enough to not realise they just booed Toure instead of Irankunda

Ugh. Hope Reds can get up and win from here. And I don't have time much for Adelaide United at all
