Edmund Posted 25 January 2009 Posted 25 January 2009 f'kin hate millwall Unfortunately that's the problem with Millwall. A small handfull of there so called fans try and live on there old reputation from the eighties. I feel sorry the majority of Millwall fans who genuinely support there club and have to deal with a minority of thugs and also get labelled everywhere they go as thugs.
ASH17LCFC Posted 25 January 2009 Posted 25 January 2009 Sorry for sticking up for Millwall but Hull are no angels. They had a huge rep in the 80's and 90's for kicking off. Most of the Hull fans who went today only went because it was Millwall and thought it would be abit messy and might kick off and it did. I bet the Hull fans giving it the big-un ran off when Millwall appeared. They where asking for it and Millwall were ready to give it them and now Hull are playing the ALL Millwall fault card.

That was then. This is now. Millwall "fans", unlike those who were targeted in the Family Stand at Hull, still insist on that kind of behaviour at football matches nowadays and were quite clearly to blame for the disturbances today.

Yeah i agree alot of Millwall fans are complete and utter planks but you got to admit like no Hull fans set out yesterday without wanting to have ago at the mighty Millwall. I bet every chav in Hull turned out and got the shock of their lives.
purpleronnie Posted 25 January 2009 Posted 25 January 2009 I have no problem with hostile atmosphere's unfortunately they are pretty non existant in england thesedays. But hostile is one thing violent is another. When I first going in the mid 80's there was often intense and hostile atmospheres and it was part of the buzz especially going to away games. Nowadays every ground looks the same, its 99% families who wouldnt dream of standing up and singing, atmosphere is dead apart from the odd big game. So I'm all for hostile atmosphere inside the stadiums but throwing coins and seats is just stupid. Although having watched the scenes, it was hardly a riot.
SystonFox Posted 25 January 2009 Posted 25 January 2009 dock them some points, simple or kick them out next seasons f.a cup. a tad extreme so maybe just ban there fans from all away games for the rest of the season.
MC Prussian Posted 25 January 2009 Posted 25 January 2009 "I went to Millwall once and a game of football almost broke out." :laugh:
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 25 January 2009 Posted 25 January 2009 Question how do horse stop people encroaching on the field, last i knew horse can put on a good old fashion rugby tackle
dandannieldanok Posted 25 January 2009 Posted 25 January 2009 Not on the topic of the violence but concerning the game and Hull all season: Why don't referees give handball decisions against Hull during their free-kick routine? They scored from it yesterday and have scored from it in the past, the referee clearly blows his whistle and then one of the players picks up the ball. Can anyone clear it up for me as to why that isn't handball?

Can anyone clear it up for me as to why that isn't handball? the whistle is to say that the ref is ready for the free kick to be taken, it is not taken until the ball is kicked out of its dead ball position, hence you can pick up balls from corners and replace them when the referee has blown

I agree, obviously Millwall are bang out of order but no doubt this sort of thing will get compared to terrorism and even bigger atrocities. Hull fans singing "Who Are Ya". :laugh: No angels certainly, but nothing compared to Millwall.
Ashley Posted 25 January 2009 Posted 25 January 2009 Dosent suprise me, both have reputations for voilence. Millwall still living in the past

By the looks of it on that video that was Hulls L1, not the family stand.
Edmund Posted 25 January 2009 Posted 25 January 2009 I think this has been blown out of proportion. On ITV FA cup highlights there was hardly a mention of the trouble. Even both managers said the atmosphere was quality. I don't know wether there trying to avoid it or avoid fines but I think if it was such a big deal there would have been a lot more said about it.
Part Of The Crowd Posted 25 January 2009 Author Posted 25 January 2009 By the looks of it on that video that was Hulls L1, not the family stand. yes but in all reports it mentions the millwall also attempted to charge the family stand, i heard that there was trouble in the city well into the night
Ross-Kemp Posted 25 January 2009 Posted 25 January 2009 Maybe they're wrong for going towards the family stand, BUT, i'm sure, just like Leicester(N block), there are people who sit in this stand and goad them, i'm not saying what they did yesterday was right, but, surely Hull should take some of the blame, Hull aren't the nicest of people / places to go. But because it's Millwall, everyone jumps on the hate bandwagon.
Thracian Posted 25 January 2009 Posted 25 January 2009 Old Salts of the earth, the dockland boys. Big travellers they were, and among the first to visit Australia. In fact many Aussies can trace their ancestors back to Millwall!
Thracian Posted 25 January 2009 Posted 25 January 2009 Hull aren't the nicest of people / places to go. But because it's Millwall, everyone jumps on the hate bandwagon. Shame on you. Wait til Hullfox reads that. John Prescott, our esteemed former Deputy Prime Minister, one time merchant semen, sorry seaman and wannabee street fighter is from Hull.
Tevez Posted 25 January 2009 Posted 25 January 2009 Media will completely over do this just because its Milwall, someone mentioned it was Hull chucking coins which prompted the whole thing.These incidents arn't just one side, Hull should have alot to answer for. What this guy said. Hull City fans are tossers.
Simi Posted 25 January 2009 Posted 25 January 2009 yes but in all reports it mentions the millwall also attempted to charge the family stand, i heard that there was trouble in the city well into the night There were coins thrown from Hull fans prior to the trouble starting, that doesn't condem the actions though.
Floating Fox Posted 25 January 2009 Posted 25 January 2009 Travelling up the M1 on saturday morning could see they were Millwall fans in the mini-buses...No colours just trying to be "casual" - In other words looked like a bunch of chavs! Reading that article I expected it to be worse than it was. Just charged the enitial stewards line which isn't a first really. Riot police just stand there and the Hull fans don't really do themselves any favours. The guy writing that article makes them out to be angels. Leeds v Millwall saw much more trouble that than.
Hullfox Posted 25 January 2009 Posted 25 January 2009 Just spoken to a few sensible people who were actually at the game so sorry if I believe them more than posts on here that profess to know what has actually happened from a hundred miles away. It was apparent from the off that a section of Millwall fans were there to cause trouble. The section of Hull fans to the left of the away "support" are notorious nobheads but not in the same league as their guests and the usual goading between the two groups soon escalated into the stand off. Neither of these two sets have covered themselves in glory and although it will be impossible to say who threw the first missile, however, it will undoubtedly be Millwall who bear the brunt of the blame. They have ruined 50 seats and caused extensive damage to shuttering. The Hull fans are just out of pocket due to coin throwing. The attack on the Family Stand cannot be justified in anyway whatsoever. There was no provoction at all. The trouble continued outside the ground as many fans headed to the train station, smashing windows on their way.
