i have been mainly talking about wrestling in these op's so i thought i would write about something else which is dear to m heart MILLWALL i hope you like it PLEASE NOTE THERE ARE SOME STRONG THINGS IN HERE NO SWEARING BUT STRONG NONE THE LESS

HOOLIGANS

When I tell people that I surpport Millwall fc I am always told the same thing"oh you lot are hooligans and you are racist", and then I sigh and say to myself here we go again as I attempt to put Millwalls point accross only for it to fall on deaf ears.
I have had some good debates with a certain reading fan( I will not name him to save him any embarrassment) about the hooligan problem at millwall.
I have been going to see millwall religously since 1996 and I have surpported millwall since I was 7 (1985) and I can say hand on heart that I have seen 2 pieces of trouble at the den.
1/ MILLWALL VS MAN CITY
There was a tense atmosphere at this game you could cut it with a knife and it takes some thing small to kick off the trouble and it came in the shape of the ref he was appaling and that made both sets of fans pissed off, I was with my little brother and my little cousin and I felt perfectly safe with the children there, there was trouble on the pitch between the players (someone pushed shawsy in the face so shawsy slapped him)there was no fighting in the ground but there was fighting(that is if you can believe what the papers say)outside the ground becouse the police started attacking everyone with batons.
2/MILLWALL VS CARDIFF
I dont know why but this was not as intense as the city game and again there was no fighting in the ground(in both games there was a number of fans from millwall,cardiff and city who were arrested for being drunk) there was some fighting out side the ground.
The thing is all the hooligans know our reputation and they plan to come and cause trouble for us(at the Man city gam
e one of the blokes trying to start a fight was wearing a Arsenal shirt for god sake.
They now that if they go to a high tenson match at Millwall and start fighting then they will get trouble .well we dont want them here ,we never have and we never will if you want to come to Millwall and cheer on the lads then fine come on down but if you come down to cause trouble then sod off because I and every other true millwall fan does not want you there.
Sorry to be so blunt but I have become sick and tired of the nazi scum(that is what they are ).
If you look in a paper when there is any trouble about football hooliganism it is always Millwall that are mentioned
When Steven Lawrence was murdered the people accused of killing him lived next to Charlton Athletic but what team was connected with the case? yep you guessed it Millwall there was no reason for it , it was just lazy cheap journalism and they were wrong Millwall had nothing to do with that case but the papers still brought us up anyway.
When the news on BBC Southeast talk about hooliganism the footage they show the most was the game in 1985 when we had a fight in lutons shed(you cant call kennelworth road a ground)I mean come on that footage is nearly 16 years old.
Now I know that millwall had a reputation from the 1960 to 1990 but that is what the real fans are trying to forget we dont need people getting cheap digs in all the time .
We have kick raceism out of football days alot and they are a great success, you come down the den and you wont see 10,000 meat heads(but there are some weird people) waiting for a fight ,you will see 10,000 mums and dads with their kids and black people and foriegn people we even have some bloody good footballers who are black and foriegn(a part from bowry).
We went on a tour of Germany and the English hooligans from the world cup turned up and started rioting for no reason they had nothing to do with Millwall, they di
d not have any tickets, they just wanted to cause trouble, they were in a different town but Millwall got thrown out and we got the blame.
What we need is people like that to keep way , I am not saying that this rock around our clubs neck will go away, it may even be there long after I die, but the piont is that we did something to start the ball rolling by admitting that we have a problem now we have to deal with that problem.
We need people behind us ,we need the papers to stop taking cheap shots at us (yeah,like that is gonna happen),we need the police to get involved more,we need the public to show support.
It may take along time but in the end the true millwall fans will win.

Were you at a Millwall away match?did the "fans" cause trouble?(was it all of them?) or were they well behaved? write in and let me know
