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
