Aren't we forgetting our club has made a complete mess of this as well Mighty, why didn't the club react quicker as I got the impression it was due to racial verbals by this 13 year old kid as well ,and Millwall let it linger while the press and sky sports couldn't wait to stick the knife in, where was the trust between club and supporters over this issue and the fan on the board broke rank to tell us? Millwall bottled it in my opinion and pandered to the powers that be ,I stand here one let down supporter, get your hym books out and start singing abide with me lads as the way it's going the working class supporter will be as extinct as a doe doe !!
Roar i agree with you m8 Millwall Football Club should have handled it much better no one should have know about the boy until all the facts were there. and releasing it to the press the way they did was dreadful it missled everybody myself included. If the club the police and Bolton saw this lad doing something that they deemed wrong and found it as a reason to ban him then fine ban him.but we (the public) should have been told the exact reason for the ban. The lad probibly not quite understanding what was really happening wrote a letter to the player and apologised for the abuse he gave but said he did not use racial abuse we will probably never know if he did or not but it appears there is no proof to show he did therefore for racial abuse he is not guilty. apparently cctv footage shows that sordell responded by giving the kid abuse back. whats going to happen to him.? because he was the one that made the claims doesnt mean he is not guilty of abuse. i feel and apparently someone is pushing for the player to apologise to the kid,,if he does then end of story and put it to bed... But Millwall,the police,Bolton,or whoever should state the exact reason for banning the kid or lift the ban if theres no racial abuse i really find it difficult to understand what a 13 yr old did to warrent it
If it turns out he was banned for waving fists,or giving ****er signs beware you're all going to get banned Sunday
Damage is done now if it wasn't racial there will be no 'breaking news on sky sports Millwall fan banned for racial abuse was actually just swearing and hurt Sordell's feelings' Feel sorry for that ref, Chelsea and the player made no complaint to the police and there appears to be no evidence so looking likely that nothing actually happened yet he goes at least 3 weeks with no match and will have this hanging over him for ever. Hope he boycotts Chelsea games in future.
Im sure i explained this was the case weeks ago! i fell for the young kid! yeah probably a bit of an idiot to lean over and give him the five knuckle shuffle sign followed by the word itself but Sordell did respond to his face by calling him a Fat **** (4 letters across, sordid/discusting word in relation to Female genitals) so for the racist element to be thrown in and no one actually come forward to say what actually happened is bad! The boys been labelled as a racist and at no point has anyone (even the club) has come out and said (actually he just used bad lanuage!) he doesnt need a bloody Racial and Equality course he needs a ducking swear Jar! (dont we all!) haha
I felt for the kid to Neil i remember being 13 and walking 5 miles to get to the den and 5 miles back again on many occasions and doing a paper round all week to get the dosh,,,, PLEASE DONT TAKE MY MILLWALL AWAY
Mighty Not sure 'our Millwall' was ever really there - it's probably that we didn't know the half of it back then. Can't believe Reg Burr (among others) and others got it 'right' very often. It is what it it is - no one likes us .... Leaving that all to one side, I want to concentrate on some great football on Sunday and see Millwall win. (There again if I get into a rumble, this post may change when I get out on Monday! ) COYFL - we want 10
Too late! Noted by the Savile police Neil. Bang goes your New Years Honours gong! (Maybe 'bang' is not the best word either.....)
