We went through this exact situation about 10 years ago where the league wanted derbies in rd 1 and they constantly disappointed with 0-0 draws and poor performances.

And yet here we are again, not learning from past mistakes

My favourite part of the night was the new tv graphics/scoreboard ahah

The old one was so stale and had no color + had been there for like 6 years.

This new one is clean and colourful

Last night upon entry cops took RBB capos mega phones and all but 1 RBB drum and the reason being due to flares being lit on the march

Flares have always been lit on the march in to the ground and they’ve never taken anything

On the way in the ground saw 3 cops manhandling an underage kid (not sure of the scenario or what happened) but no there’s no need to man handle anyone let alone a kid at a football game ..

Also forgetting to add polair circling Moore park all night

Just wondering was anything on the cove end ?
