Ends 1-0, most exciting thing to happen was a shot hitting both posts &the crossbar and not crossing the line.
following a great save from the keeper
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet
Victory stirring the pot
Melbourne Victory Football Club wishes to express its disappointment at the unacceptable and inappropriate behaviour of some travelling Western Sydney Wanderers FC fans at AAMI Park on Saturday night.
With no incidents in the 11 rounds prior, Melbourne Victory has now implored Football Federation Australia (FFA) to take the strongest possible action, after flares and detonators were let off in the away supporter bay throughout Saturday night’s A-League fixture. Given the pending return of Western Sydney Wanderers on January 14, we believe significant sanctions and extensive planning are required to ensure there is no repeat of this behaviour.
Melbourne Victory’s absolute priority is, and always has been, to ensure football fans experience the safest and most enjoyable environment possible.
The club continues to support Victoria Police with its investigations and awaits a swift response from FFA.
They pretty much said what everyone else was thinking. That'll inflame it.
Grumpy old bastard alert
Maybe victory should worry less about other fans and sort out there own problems with NT.

While appreciating the difficulties that the Melbourne Victory Football Club are currently experiencing with its active supporter group remaining on strike because of irreconcilable differences, the Western Sydney Wanderers will not shy away from its full responsibility for the behaviour of any fan that can be directly linked to the club. We have every confidence that Melbourne Victory share these same views.
As evidence of its commitment to fan security and safety, the Western Sydney Wanderers had five senior staff travel to the match on Saturday to lend support to Melbourne Victory in any way possible with match day operations including fan behaviour.
The club reaffirms its full support of its 16,700 members who continue to set a new benchmark for fan support in any sporting code in the country and will not let the actions of an absolute minority stand in the way of this recognition. The 1,500 Wanderers fans in attendance at Saturday’s match who demonstrated exemplary behaviour is a greater reflection of the Club’s values and culture than the five or six individuals who chose to demonstrate completely unacceptable behaviour.
The club also further notes that it has a virtually unblemished record of fan behaviour at its matches this year and will be seeking to establish a co-operative and collaborative approach with the Melbourne Victory Football Club to better understand and identify what may have been the catalysts for the events of Saturday and in so doing identify the necessary preventive strategies to ensure that such events do not occur in the future.

Another opportunity to condemn the behaviour missed.
By blaming each other they've also given the idiot fans fuel for their fire. A united front against the behaviour would've been much better.
Really gonna miss watching Wee Mac in the A-League. He looking good again tonight. CCM up 1-0 atm.
CCM should be comfortably up here but are not. Wee Mac keeps breaking forward on the counter and finding himself the only CCM player forward.
First game for CCM without Flores and they are looking back to their normal selves.
Seip with the yellow card for coming on too early. Really harsh, he got done by the 4th official being incompetent.

Seip probably needs to keep his nose dry for the last 5.
Perth are relatively ordinary.

Burns had no business getting involved. Fuck he is a right knob head.

You think? I think he allows Wee Mac to roam more.
Grumpy old bastard alert
Burns got fucked on the 2nd one. That's a bullshit yellow and subsequent send off. That's two weeks.
Miss a pen on Wee Mac and then it's him for that???? Get the big decisions ref
Grumpy old bastard alert
Wow. Perth got shafted by the officials. They didn't deserve to win but they did not deserve to have the refs decide it for them.
