    Seen posts from people at the match saying that Milwall thugs were trying to get through the fencing at the Saints fans

    Must have been relatively serious as has been mentioned by BBC reporter Tony Husband on BBC. I thought Millwall had a bad reputation, but maybe it is a bit like Leeds that when the clubs are in low divisions the idiots stay away but when they are doing well they suddenly reappear and besmirch the name of their fans.

    To be fair, saints fans have been far from angels the last few seasons.

    I am not saying that any set of fans are perfect, I remember going to see Saints at Arsenal and a couple of people in the Saints end spent their whole time abusing the stewards and home fans instead of watching the game before finally being chucked out. What I meant was, that I thought Millwall were still suffering for a reputation they no longer deserved, but I do not really know. It is a bit like English football that cannot shake off the branding of hooligans whereas we are genteel compared with Italy, Greece, Turkey, Ukraine, Russia and Serbia.

    Glad we made it to half time 1-0, sounds like Millwall were coming back into it, time for Saints to regroup and come out strong at the start of the 2nd half!

    Yep I think you are right, it is easy to say "typical Millwall" but that is not fair on the 99.5%. I'm not there but I don't think this is anything that the police/stewards can't handle.

    Following the match on ESPN and their shot chart shows Dan Harding shooting from the edge of Saints! penalty area. Can't be right but shows confidence.

    Just noticed that Tony Husband is watching the match for BBC Final Score. I hate it whenever he's connected, in any way, with a Saints match. He's always a doom merchant.

    I think it was a free kick curled into the box actually!

    Saints hanging on a bit at the moment :s.

    Millwall seems to be spending an awful lot of time in our half. This is getting a bit worrisome.

    Adkins has made three subs to freshen things up and switched to a 4-5-1. Adkins may get some stick if Saints do not win, however the game is in the balance.

    It does seem to have quietened Millwall down a bit, meanwhile, freekick Lambo :)

    I don't see why. Support is all about rough and smooth. Sometimes people just get things wrong, and sometimes, in football, even the apparently right decisions go awry.

    Just turned the radio back on after having to be away from it, and within 2 seconds I heard Whispering Dave say... What Saints don't want to do is... ;)

    Yeah, I wonder how he got two yellow cards so quickly in succession. It means that they are unable to appeal though!
