Melbourne Derby abandoned

TELTEL
in Charlton International
Game just abandoned due to a pitch invasion. 
City's goalkeeper clobbered by a bucket, ref punched. 

Sounds worse than it looked but the keeper needed stitches so it couldn't really have gone on.

    There is footage on Twitter. Tv pundits made it sound like Millwall at Luton all those years ago but it was all over in a few minutes.

    Probably a sand bucket grabbed from the side of the pitch or something?  Seems weird otherwise, I agree.

    It was a fire bucket for flares. The keeper lobbed a flare back towards the crowd that landed close to him. Then it went off.

    the rivalry between Melbourne and Sydney over anything is close to if not quite as bitter as the Celtic/Rangers divide .. this 'riot' was a protest over big games being switched from Melbourne to Sydney .. not a g'day mate

    Pretty sure it was a bucket of sand that the stewards were using to douse flares.

    Not on the same level, more Liverpool and Manchester. Having the grand final at Sydney each season is a piss take though.

    Rivalry? Nah it's all fabricated... it's a damp squib really. I've been to a lot of games over here, it's very sterile.

    The piss take is having a grand final at all.

    Having seen the full footage the flashpoint was the goal keeper throwing a flare back into the stands landing amongst the fans who then went onto the pitch. Whilst it's being widely condemned about the injuries to the keeper, a cameraman who was bowled over and the referee being shoved, there's no mention of the keeper throwing a flare into a congested area full of fans. He's equally to blame but I bet he gets away Scott fee, such is the way of football.
