Derbies as far as the eyes can see this weekend.
Torrential rain forecast for NSW tomorrow, so the Sydney Derby might be touch and go. Warratahs play at Newcastle the night before the F3 derby, so who knows what the pitch is gonna look like for that.
A potential sellout Sydney derby on Saturday is in doubt, with around 100mm of rain expected tomorrow. A final decision will be made hours before the 5pm kick-off, after Jubilee Stadium's new drainage system struggling to cope with today's rainfall. [SMH]https://t.co/5UZilLybyj

City take an early lead, 1-0
Roux's got his head screwed on the wrong way tonight. Free header, should've scored there.
Victory can't find any space going forward
Hoogland has had a very poor game so far for MV.
....but that off the line header to keep it 1-0 almost makes up for it.
J-Mac!!, 2-0
That is just a class counter attack...
Backs to the wall and thought MV banging down the door were going to equalise, but that was slick.
Victory on the canvas this season already?
Glover oggie, that was a shocker. 2-1
Poor bastard. That is a horrible mistake from the young guy.
Kruse aint no Archie
Glover oggie, that was a shocker. 2-1
Rojas winning the foul in the build up too... Surely that is Toivonen's goal as well?
Absolutely crap keeping. Of all the free kicks Toivonen has taken during his time in Melbourne, he looked embarrassed that he scored off that!
Wtf is Basha doing? Marco's making a run out wide free as a bird and Basha ignores him and passes backwards - with 2 minutes to go!
edit: was Poulson not Basha.
Once Kruse went off it was all over.
Poor bastard. That is a horrible mistake from the young guy.

Some keepers take a long time to mature in the A League. Redmayne, Thomas and Izzo all had some horrendous games in their first few years. But I don't think this guy's going to make the grade. He's too lightweight and nervy. City are really the only team in the league without a decent keeper.

Ryan famously had a shocker or two in his first few games at CCM. Look at him now!

Sydney Derby this evening has been canned after torrential rain in Sydney the past 48 hours, with more downpours forecast throughout the day and later this evening. Match will be rescheduled at a later dater.
100mm in 36/48 hours? Isn't that a good day in Wellington?
Tomorrows F3 Derby is also under a cloud
Officials will conduct a pitch inspection at McDonald Jones Stadium at 10:30am tomorrow morning ahead of the #F3Derby. #CCMFC

The good news is that the rain might just deal to those bush fires.
Brisbane struggling against the reds
Brisbane have now woken up, game pretty even.
Be amazed if F3 derby is played today...
Pretty sure Blues played Waratahs in Super rugby, on that Newcastle pitch in some rain last night.
Another reason not to go ahead.
Amazed... 
Kanta hurt in the opening few minutes and Jets opt to put on an attacking mid instead of Ridenton, strange

Yeah I thought that was telling too. Mind you, I don't think Matty has been up to scratch in his appearances this season.
Pet Rat!! 1-0
Hyphen finds himself unmarked at a corner and taps it in, 2-0
Wheels falling off CCM. Wtf was Rowles doing on the back post there? Turned himself 360 degrees and fell on his arse.
One more goal to the Jets puts CCM last.

That was a deserved win with supurb goals from both sides. Please note - The referee had an excellent game despite the weather conditions. It really was a good game to watch as a neutral.
Tongyik pulls one back just before halftime, 2-1
That's the Jets for you. 2-0 up, should be 4-0 and they've been literally queuing up to score. Yet now there is only a goal in it at half time.
How good has the shape been on the crosses from Bobby Burns?
Clisby left alone from a free kick, 2-2
Oh my. Jets handing goals out like lollies at a church picnic.
Pet Rat restores the lead, 3-2
This game is great fun! Definitely not your usual dull F3 derby.
