My millwall mate summed it up yesterday when i saw him at the kids football yesterday. He said i'm just gonna have to take it (the banter, as he gave us loads last couple of years) as there is nothing i can do, its down to the team. I asked him if he went and he said no, kids didn't want to so he didn't. Point is, the only thing he and any of us football supporters can do is turn up, pay our money and support, in good times and bad. They suffer more than most from the fairweather factor and always have done.
I know, funny though. They are all parodies of some sort of illusion that they think 'real wall' is. It's how seriously they take themselves and how snobby they are about what you can and can't do, wear, sing etc etc at the game. No wonder they have such sh*t crowds, you have to behave in an identikit way to avoid ridicule. They are like the Hyacinth Bouquet of the football world. Keyboard tarts.
How long before we are pleased to welcome SparrowsLaneAddick ?
He'd love to be a Charlton fan rather than Millwall. It was like a choice between being the most popular person at school or the most feared bully. Now it's just like the difference between being the most popular and the smallest kid in the school. Either way, i know which i'd prefer.
I know we have some off-topic subjects (most of which amuse me, including the one about the woman with 2 vaginas), but why would you discuss that online with football fans? Almost as weird as Palace fans!

Yes, not very nice at all. My "woman with 2 vaginas thread" was definitely more intellectual :-)
"There was a spirit there yesterday amongst the players and the crowd saw that and responded, I do not think they will go down."
Yes, the crowd responded in their usual manner - throwing things at the linesman, who had to be protected for the last 30 mins. It's only banter of course.
Watched the highlights of this last night, the first sending off was off camera but I thought the second was very, very harsh, he barely seemed to catch him.
The worst thing for me was seeing that scumbag Marlon King gloating away.

Ormiston: you don't need to catch the opponent. Fact was Dunne made a typically cowardly lunge, which could have smashed the opposing players leg. It was only the fact that Dunne was so chicken-hearted & conscious of his own self-preservation, that prevented a worse outcome.

Oddly enough I dont feel gloating is appropriate with Millwall....Ok, I dont like them, but seeing them lose 0-6 doesnt mean much......but if it was the stripey bastards I could fully understand it.

They obviously want another Steve Claridge, Colin Lee, David Tuttle or Willie Donachie again.

Definitely recommended viewing.
My Millwall mate texted me at the start of the 2nd half telling me it was all going off & that there was trouble in both the East & West stands.
Brum "shit it" afterwards & Millwall were heading to London Bridge to wait for Leeds on their way back from Palace.
I know that's normal activity for Millwall, but as you're not Millwall, you wouldn't know.
