Melb City fans tifo denied authorisation for the derby because "We are Melbourne" is supposedly considered "offensive".


Feel for them here as they are trying to get a bit of fan culture going. Can't see any MVFC fans being too bothered about that TIFO tbh. They should have said it was something else and gone ahead with it anyway.

Good win by Adelaide after a poor couple of weeks, they really needed that to get back on track.

Very dominant display outside of a 15-20 mins spell in the second half. Could have had more at HT.

As a neutral supporter, its hard not to root for those plucky Welly Battlers, esp coming against villian teams and esp gaffers like Worstern Sydney and Stalker Rudan
