Re: Millwall
Bradford City boss Stuart McCall said he was "close to clocking" Millwall fans who invaded the pitch at the end of the League One play-off final.
McCall said he and some of his players were goaded by supporters following their 1-0 loss to the Lions at Wembley.
He questioned why stewards had not prevented the invasion.
"We're absolutely distraught, we wanted to clap our own fans, the last thing we need is people running around us and giving us verbals," said McCall.
"I think it's nonsense," he told BBC Radio Leeds. "Ten minutes later an army of stewards comes on when they should have been on straight after the final whistle and stood on the halfway line.
"I don't understand why people feel they need to come over to players, intimidate us and wind us up. I was close to clocking a couple.
"I'm not necessarily blaming the people who did it but where was the stewarding? Why march them out 10 minutes afterwards?
"They should have got to the halfway line straight away and stopped anyone from coming over."
Millwall boss Neil Harris encouraged his side's fans to leave the pitch to allow the team to enjoy their celebrations, while match-winner Steve Morison claimed they had "ruined" the moment.
"It's not ideal, it's not quite the place for a pitch invasion, I've got to be honest," Harris told BBC Radio London.
"I don't condone it whatsoever. I'm just hoping there was no disrespect towards Stuart and his team.
"For me, I wanted to get them off because I wanted to see my players enjoy it and I wanted to see my players take the admiration of the whole fan base, which happened in the end.
Not only bad losers, now they are Bad Winners too.
Where is Giae's condemnation of the Pitch Invasion?
He usually has a lot to say about it when other clubs do it.
By the way, congratulations to the Millwall players for being promoted. OM

This just makes my point, loads of pitch invasions happen but it's only Millwall they jump up and down against.

Re: Millwall
The one v one save in the first half by the Millwall keeper was a key moment in the match.
Well done to Millwall.
It was good that the Millwall coach and most of the their supporters were trying to get the supporters off the ground.

Bradford were the better side in the 1st half, Millwall better side in 2nd half.

Re: Millwall
It’s their way, we just have to accept it in this modern multicultural world unfortunately. They see a stretch of grass think it’s common land and immediately set up camp so no one else can use it. Next thing you know clothes begin to go missing from the washing lines, perfectly good driveways start getting ripped up, fights in the local pubs…..ozzie owl wrote:

Arsenal do play in a lovely area, it's not like King's Cross is a run down cabernet hole known for it's hookers.

Re: Millwall
One thing none of us can argue with is that the best team, the one that scored, regardless of any complaints, won the day.
As I said before, congratulations to the players.

Re: Millwall
What's the matter, can't I praise a team for having done well anymore, even though I don't like them as a rule?
After all, it's only Football.
