I went to Peckham Manor School in the late 60's and early 70's and many of the lads in my years were Millwall supporters, most were decent lads. A few, who shall remain nameless and couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag, decided to adopt the herd mentality and go to the games and pretend to be hard men by hiding in amongst the other cave men. Most of these guys were pussys at school and were frightened of their own shadows. These are probably the same pr**ks that caused the ugly scenes at Wembley. So very brave. Yet again you have lived up to all we've come to expect from you. Tossers.

And this is based on what exactly?


20-30 violent so-called Millwall fans out of 32,000.


So 31,970 behaved themselves.


A regular gate of 8,000 that sees no trouble at all.


Just a small minority of people out to cause trouble are not true fans anyway.


But lets all jump on the bandwagon & slag off the team & their supporters because everybody loves to hate Millwall.


If the fighting had been between Wigan fans, it would hardly have got a mention.

Quids as I believe you are to friends, my point was that there was a vacancy in Kent. Vicanna, I am totally lost. Please explain your hostile response.


Now I have had a good think. 30 odd thousand there, more than twice the core suport, and a 5.30 start. Oh what a surprise. But to put it into perspective this was nowt like the scrapping that went on in the terraces we saw when the London clubs came up the midlands from the mid 70s onwards - most of it for pose value rather than the more nasty stuff.


My first recollection of big trouble was the red army in 75 when there was 100 odd arrests outside the ground and a similar number when 20,000 Geordies (now there was an away support) turned up.


More bother in Streatham, or Bromley on a Friday night that at Wembley on Sat.


I could have saved myself two mins by simply agreeing with Aquarius. I blame the ghost of Thatcher for all this over-reaction. I doubt whether it was well stewarded or policed. Most grounds try to do without cops due to the expense (they came free in the old days). Hence stewards (my faves for paramilitary are at Spurs) are well ready for a bit of aggro. Not Wembley by the sound of things.


PS I hate the new Wembley even more than the old. It is shte for semis, although the Manc C vs Chels sort of proved me wrong on that.

Millwall have had a history of this going back to the 30's I believe so it's hardly a new thing. As for tarring all with same brush, not all, some are decent people, but it's the tossers that grab the headlines. And just to show some balance here, I'd like to know hwo decided the cameras should be pointed at these arseholes, normally the commentators just tell the watching millions that there's some trouble going on in the crowd but the cameras are never pointed in that direction. Conspiracy theorists will now run amok no doubt.

I love how Barry Hearn attempted to blame the FA for the late kick off and the police for not intervening quickly enough. Absolute tool.


Where is the personal responsibility?


Did you need to spend 6 hours before kick-off getting sh*t-faced and then decide to take it out on other fans? Anyone force you to do that? And why does this behaviour not happen at other clubs who seemingly manage to play football in the early evening without kick seven shades of shite out of each other?

Aquarius moon is absolutely right.

Our normal gate is around 9,000 - 10,000 including our Visitors.


Millwall has approx 6,000 Season ticket holders.


I doubt if the trouble makers were S.T Holders.


These are the same people that turn up at peaceful Demos and cause trouble.

The same people that riot and loot shops.


We had a problem at Millwall a few seasons ago with a Birmingham game..

The Trouble makers were a group of Brokers (well respected) ?? from Kent.


With respect to the late Kick Off.. Wembley kept the Bar Open throughout the first half

and did not stop people taking alcohol into the seating area.

How very civilised of them. That's how it should be. Can't blame them if the punters are idiots.

Likewise Twickenham.


They call it the British disease, yet it happens at football matches world wide. In the preceeding 72 hours there was violence in Germany where Bayern Munich fans fought those of Nuremberg with 60 arrested and 16 police injured whilst in Brazil two were shot dead at a venue of next year's World Cup.


Perhaps it is just a football disease?


I cannot think of another high-profile sport that witnesses such levels of anti-social and violent behaviour from fans?

Unfortunately I know several Millwall 'fans' and they're mostly beer bellied bald headed tatooed uneducated drug taking yobs. But I'm generalising, some are thin. I've also been to the Den a few times and think the football at Dulwich Hamlet is more skilful and entertaining.

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
