millwall do have a larger following of hooligan types though? that isnt a myth, acting up in a derby isn't unusual happens all over the country, getting into the playoffs and running immediatly to the away end to give it to a team that have about 300 fans and are in 17th position. is strange.
It is all gesturing though. Act tough behind a gate or a line of coppers. Look at what happened away to Bury. Millwall fans all giving it behind a gate and all they had to do was walk around it via the pitch if they really wanted to. Bury fans were just the same I add. Then giving it to Oldham fans who were in the top tier and had no real chance of getting to. All for show.
Exactly, and it goes on at grounds up and down the country. Including Charlton. The people who want a genuine tear up wouldn't dream of starting something in the ground these days. Throwing flares, making 'attempts' to get at oppo fans in an adjoining stand, taking a swing at the oppositions mascot! It's all nonsense. And as SLL said, usually just kids being kids.

Anyway, back to the subject, Wimbledon losing on aggregate now. Hope they can pull it back. Would love to see them promoted and in the same league as McDons next season.

Sadly would love both Accrington and Wimbledon in League One next season yet wont happen so had mixed emotions when they scored their second (magnificent) goal
Any team that invades the pitch after winning a semi-final deserves to be put straight into League One where such small-time behaviour probably belongs
could be worse you could invade the pitch and give it berty big bollocks to the away for just getting in to the playoffs - step forward millwall.
Show me any club who's fans don't give it 'berty big bollocks' at any given opportunity? Seen your lot do it from the safety of the away end on plenty of occasions. It's what footballs about these days, all posturing and verbals. Better than years gone by when people were getting srriously hurt over a game of football.
charlton have never run on a pitch and gone straight to the away end, to celebrate going into the playoffs, its football banter chanting from an away end, but not running on the pitch in a load of snide stone island and putting middle fingers up to 300 oldham fans.
Maybe not, but they've ripped out and thrown seats, thrown flares on the pitch and charged towards the home stands at the den (only to be stopped by half a dozen stewards) to celebrate a nil nil draw. As I said, all noise and bravado, and whatever form it comes in, it's pretty standard for football in this day and age.
I think you'll find it was West Ham fans throwing the seats. They do love an infiltration.
Everyone talking like they've never been involved in a game with floodlight failure. Holloway must've experienced it. All those years he's been in football

Holloway experienced total failure - with the Spanners
