They do review for red cards. They showed the elbow on Gallagher again and that would have been a straight red! Edited by aashman12 (09 Jan 2022 12.11pm)

Whether for or against BLM and all the extended meanings associated with it, either applaud it or wait the 5 seconds until its over and shut the f**k up. Booing it in this day and age is pathetic - typical Millwall. As for targetting Connor as a Chelsea Rent Boy - he is from Epsom as I understand it, not Chelsea, he has not played a first team game for Chelsea, he is currently plying his trade at Palace, he has never as far as I aware applied himself as a Rent Boy. The chants are meaningless. They may be offensive, but that is the point. 'Sacked in the morning', '...f**king useless' etc etc are all offensive to the recipient, but essentially meaningless. It is a football match FFS, it that is offensive to anyone then go and watch rugby or cricket, with all the passionless, could-not-care-less-about-the-result attitude that goes with it. I am aware this view will not be appreciated by some, but I would rather my football experience is not like a tourist trip to the Premier League theme park that a day out at Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea and West Ham has become.

Well, I for one really appreciate it. Every point well made and I applaud you. Originally posted by Gribbo

You can't change the way things are but you can change the way you are with the way things are. |

Make your mind up, you start out appalled by Millwall fans and end up saying you don’t want the game sanitised...

There's been plenty of Wall fans trying to defend the booing saying it's because of taking the knee supporting BLM 'which is a Marxist organisation'. A few have then gone on to make the rather disingenuous statement that we should be clapping the NHS instead. That would be the same NHS that was founded by Aneurin Bevan. A Marxist. I find that quite an amusing irony. I don't agree with homophobic chanting, but the rent boy chant does seem to be getting more attention in the media than perhaps it should as it seems little more than a play on the fact Gallagher keeps getting loaned out. Having said that I do agree with the stance of clubs to condone it as if you don't it opens the door to worse chants. Personally I think any fan found guilty of racist or homophobic chants should be made to apologise to Vieira face to face. After they've cleaned their underwear I doubt they'll ever utter an offensive word again. It’s nothing to do with Gallagher being loaned out; it’s because Chelsea are commonly known as “the rent boys” by rival fans. Personally I hear far worse homophobic abuse from us aimed at Brighton, and I have no doubt our own particular brand of moron will be rolling out their usual pathetic ditties next Friday night...

I didn't know that. Is that because they loan a lot of players though? BTW I think, or I hope, I was clear that I don't condone this kind of chanting.

Aye, right enough I recall hearing racist chants coming from our lot right up until the time when Wright and Bright took it on and made our crowd change its ways Originally posted by Casual
I expect that Connor wouldn’t give a monkeys about being called a rent boy, would have gone home last night and slept with his 10/10 Mrs. The majority of football songs are nonsense. Everyone gets lumped into ‘your lot’ and ‘our lot’ The generation before mine were happy calling people ‘ black c*nts’ , my generation there’s a large percentage that would say ‘ don’t be a poof mate’ , in a generations time it will all be over, no will call people out for being fat or ginger, the worlds changing. And judging by what I saw yesterday so are millwall, they will be the last to go, probably with Pompey/Cardiff/Leeds etc.

It’s the way football is played now. In 5 years time it will just be the way the game is played universally with the modern footballer and youngsters playing this way. Amateur and youth teams play like this or are attempting to play this way currently. There are more players/defenders who are comfortable on the ball. It is but why? For sure Butland was trying to ‘be comfortable on the ball’ rather than hoof it straight up the pitch and that’s what led to their goal.

No, he had a mad moment, when you can see there were two players he could have comfortably played the ball to feet. It happens, but we (he) got out of jail so that's that.
