From the goal keepers position , having all of the play unfolding in front of him he is in the best position to take charge of that situation / that passage of play, he needs to either yell at the player with the ball that he dosent want it, and tell the ball player what to do with it, i.e upfield, out for a throw or , or..... if the ball is played back to him anyway ( despite the call) he is the only one that can decide what to do with it, if he is under pressure that includes lumping it upfield -

He must have decided he had time to play it & came unstuck or got caught in 2 minds & came unstuck -

At that point he is the only one that can save himself -if a defender gets in between & saves it or the attacker misses, well that's really a bit of divine intervention.

Absolutely correct , Butland even got the first bit right by making a little move to get one of the strikers to move to cover the pass out to Mitchell which gave Butland a simple straight ball to Anderson that he didn’t do for whatever reason, Anderson did exactly the right thing in holding his position in plenty of space to receive the ball.

I really don't understand why in a day and age when almost every team has black players that idiot supporters dish out racist abuse.

Millwall supporters are especially stupid seeing as one of their best players on the day was black

If a keeper fcuks up like that there is no excuse. If the back pass is poor and no one is moving for him he should just smash it upfield. Same with a defender putting it into row Z.

We all want to play nice football but their number one job is to stop goals. There is a time and place for everything.

It's as simple as that.

Amazingly, they have some black fans too.

However I suspect this is in relation to Millwall fans chanting Chelsea Rentboy at Conor and Take it up the Arse at Palace fans in general both of which were apparently quite loud on TV. There is plenty of video footage out there (most from the Millwall end) so fans will be easy to identify.

I didn't find either of the chants to be particularly offensive. There was far worse being shouted at us.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Defenders certainly shouldn't be tracking a man to our own 6 yard box when we have the ball.

Andersen did exactly the right thing in pulling wider to create a passing option for Butland - it's not his fault Butland messed it up.

Well done Lads and overall job Well done. Overcame a 'keeper howler, so credit where it's due.

Seems we weren't at the office in the first half, and looked somewhat jaded - largely keeping them at arms length.

whatever Viera said @ halftime worked a Treat. for the first 15-20 mins we played some great stuff, Olise, obviously, but Eze can into his own on the other flank. We lost something when he was replaced by Eduoard, and seemed to sit back a lot more.
On that performance, Eze and Olise should start a lot more together. Mateta didn't impress me too much; but plenty of players are anonymous before scoring a goal, "all it takes is a moment".
Still, I'd prefer Tekkers, Eduoard or Zaha as the striker over him .

"It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

Why wouldn’t we have black fans?? You really think Millwall games are like one big KKK meeting?

Just because the knee gets booed (I don’t boo, for the record) doesn’t mean that everyone booing is a racist. A lot of people just don’t like BLM and the fact that they smashed up and defaced THEIR city a couple of summers ago. They find them divisive, and feel they cause more problems than they solve. That’s their opinion and they’ve a right to it. Doesn’t make them all racist.

We’ve got plenty of black fans and we, us snarling racists, have voted black players as our player of the season on numerous occasions. There are lots black people who are seen as Millwall legends, both on and off the pitch, down The Den and held in very high regard down there.

“Amazingly they have some black fans too” 😂 …. Clown

This clean up of football banter is all about the protecting the global brand. I don't particularly enjoy seeing grown men act like children, but my worry is where it will all end. You keep moving the goalposts of behaviour and we eventually become robots.

I’m not saying there aren’t individuals who support Millwall who are racist. Of course there is. Show me a club in the country that doesn’t have any racist fans. But the way some are going on on here, surprised that we have black fans and black players, my life. And you just know it’s because of the booing of the knee. Booing of the knee, must be racist. Ha

I don’t know what you heard on the train but in the past 20 years I’ve barely heard anything racist at Millwall, a couple of individual comments that’s it.
