  1. Great debate Just in from work and shopping, I’ll sign off with this and bring it back to the original post with a bit of a back story, this is not justification just how things unfolded for us.. Rumblings started about taking the knee soon after the new season got under way, by that I mean debate amongst the support. Come the game closest to 11th November Millwall do their standard remembrance day, this would generally involve some military and the last post before the game. Between the club and the ref they managed to get it wrong, the support had asked for the knee to be not taken
  2. The assertion that taking a knee is in no way an endorsement of BLM’s political objectives, but simply a gesture in support of racial equality doesn’t wash, the two are intertwined and cannot be separated. I don’t believe you can pick and choose. Interesting that Boro have said no to it, QPR had taken the same stance at the beginning of the season, Les Ferdinand their director football had led that. After agreeing to maintain this, they of course on Tuesday night with Sky and the worlds media watching, to a man took the knee, gamesmanship that is fair enough, the Millwall support appl
  3. Well, it was obvious that it was going to happen given what was happening in the background within the club and supporter base. I personally wouldn't have booed, I can however see why this was done, basically you have two schools of thought, kneeling is in support of anti racism and equality. Or, it is in support of a political group BLM that have a whole range of agenda's that are against what our democracy stands for, dismantle capitalism, defund the police and so on. The latter of these two is what the booing was about.
  4. Thought I would ask seeing as we have got you on Saturday. Obviously you are in tier 3, so an empty stadium meaning you don't have to even consider. Having supported Millwall for more than 50 years I'm used to the supporters being at loggerheads with the board or owners or managers, we have always had a very uneasy relationship with any or all of those. I cannot think of a time when there was such gulf between the support and the players, worrying. A very short article with excellent photos of being black and Millwall. https://www.invernodreaming.com/black-millwall
  5. Sorry to poke in. Do us a favour and take all the points, you know you want them. We could be 6th by Saturday afternoon, not that is of interest to you. Neil Harris still respected in our neck is tactically limited, certain Warnock can have one over them as he/you did to us. BTW we survived on 44 points last season, what's known as a**ehole lucky.
  6. Well done, apart from a few spells from us you deserved that. I didn't think it was a pen in the first half, I didn't think it was much of a foul for your first, it looked like Cooper slipped. That puts Charlton under a bit of pressure so a sort of silver lining. We aren't quite there yet, a mid table side that can punch above our weight. That's the thing about the championship, anybody can beat anybody, a small run of results and your in the hunt. F**k it's always a long journey up to your place, that's if we are ever allowed to watch football again.
  7. If you lot don't score in this half then it might come back our way in the second half. We need to change things up.
  8. We (Millwall) haven't taken to the no crowd games very well, our home support is important, maybe more so than some other clubs. I'm sure everyone thinks their own home crowd are the best. We lost our first game at home to Derby 2-3 after taking the lead, just stood off and watched Rooney play tippy tap, that wouldn't have happened with a full Den. We were poor in the next two draws at Barnsley and home to Swansea. Friday night game at Charlton we played well and should've run out two or three up instead of the 0-1 win. We have everything to play for this afternoon, however we are
  9. I couldn't get to the game yesterday due to work commitments. Watched the Quest highlights last night and spoke to mates that went. General consensus from those that were there is; happy with a point, disappointed not to have all three, based on the first half and the change of tactics after going behind. This was a huge game for us coming off the back of an absolute drubbing at Fulham, where we really made them look Man City-esque. We set a record of giving the opposition 84% possession. I get your frustration on the refereeing decisions, we have the same feeling from time to time
  10. That's us out then, we never pay 'the right price', everything on the cheap, which can actually work in the championship.
  11. Been reading stuff that Georgie Porgie isn't happy, even that his old man was kicking off with the directors at yesterdays game. I figure his move hasn't worked out yet, was wondering how the new management saw him? Or how you lot saw him for that matter. Fishing, as I would have him back with us.
  12. I think we will have a better view of Savile after the coming season to be honest given how Pulis managed the team. Interested to know how you reckon Savile would play as a left wingback? I ask as that's where Pulic played him a fair bit, he also played him as a holding midfielder earlier in the season. Never would have had Savile as a wing back, I see wing backs as progressive or athletic full backs with an attacking intent, bit like Kyle Walker. Or a converted wide midfielder that understands defense when required. I posted last season when the transfer went through that I saw hi
  13. than ours…. Excuse the intrusion it is close season. You surely couldn’t have had a worse season than us from an expectation perspective? I get that Pulis wasn't it, however we went from 8th with 72pts (17/18), to 21st 44pts. It was dire with flashes of proper football, legend Harris as manager had us playing the most negative hoof ball imaginable. I had a mild interest in you lot because of Savile-was he worth the dough- and Pulis I suppose as he has been around a bit. As a matter of interest who were the best team you played at home, and the best away? Regards LW
  14. You got your man then, along with how many others? That shows intent, ambition. We were pretty much resigned to losing Saville so the 8 million (as reported) is a huge sum for us, most are accepting of this. We replaced him with Ryan Leonard 1.2M from Sheffield Utd, a player we were after last season who they bought for 700k from Southend, and the money goes round. Good point for you at Leeds last night, they need reigning back in. I will watch with interest your results this season and see how much impact Saville has.
  15. Now talk of part-ex, do these make your first team Grant Leadbitter, Ashley Fletcher and Marvin Johnson? Are they surplus to requirements and would they be earning more than our top players, 12.5-15k per week? Quoting from here, could be the usual internet waffle. https://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-millwall-may-take-boro-stars-as-part-of-bid-for-lions-star
