Forget the game for 1 min our treatment after the game was diabolical, we were treated like the scum.
My mate has a season ticket in the East Stand, he said that a spanner stood up when they scored and he got a slap, and also outside afterwards the spanners were causing all sorts of trouble.
"silly", ffs the guy needs to forfeit a weeks wages for that. The prick knew he was off before the card came out. He cost us the three points as the spanners were doing nothing up until then.
Trying to get out of the ground kettled by the old bill,whose game was this. Home suppers treated as away fans
Disgraceful, were they letting the elderly and less able bodied go through Ransom Walk or up Floyd Road?
We were the better team with 11 men, the Spanners were heading for defeat. From our goal to the red card their fans sat in the Jimmy Seed stand like a bunch of waxworks. Trappist Monks regularly make more noise, even when they're 1-0 down.
I thought it was an extremely poor match played by two mediocre sides. That said, we were slightly less rubbish than them. The red card was utterly needless and gave them the impetus to draw level. Leaburn came on and looked 50% fit, which is worrying so early on in the season. I'd say only TC, Jones and Carey came away with positive performances. Apter was abject. The Millwall fan getting duffed up in the AC stand was mildly entertaining. All in all, dreadful.
I managed to get my stream 30 minutes in. My mate said I had not missed much. My take in no particular order. The spanners were poor. We huffed and puffed. I like Tyreece, he's another Kishishev who gives his all. Ramsay is a c*** for the foul, without this we'd have won. Kelman will be another Ajose. Their disallowed goal was harsh and lucky the ref was next to the incident. We'll not score many goals so hopefully the defense earns their dough. The security arrangements did not work. We'll go down.
One superb tackle by Jones stands out in my memory. Perhaps it's because I've been absent from the Valley for a couple of years prior to this season, but I found the match to be a bit less awful than @Ponders Revisited assesses it - though I do agree with most of that assessment. Their fans had a bit of a chant after they equalised - but they were relieved rather than triumphant, and it showed. They know they almost lost, and that they're not the force they were last season. Scraping a draw against 10 men, from a team five years in the 3rd tier and only just finding our feet again in the Championship.
As predicted, the game ended with them singing You'll Never Beat Millwall. I don't expect Millwall to be as poor as that in the return, that was our chance and we found a way to bottle it.
Chris Wilder to be reinstalled just three months after his sacking. I wonder who they are playing next...
