    I was at the game (as a Newcastle fan). Allen was miles offside and I
    didn't like the way he celebrated. That was your only decent shot on
    target in the second half, but it was a fairly professional job done on
    us.

    eeh bah gum. I remember Millwall before they sold all of their
    half-decent players and became a pile of crap. 
    
    Coo-ee they've spent the money well haven't they.
    
    Tony

    I wasn't critisising Millwall. EVERYONE knows they sold all the players
    that took them to the top of Division one. The question is, where's all
    the money gone??

Gary,

I'm getting awfully confused. Which team do you support?

  1/ They may be "the joke of South London", but they are London's second
     highest team.

  2/ I only inquired because you kept going on about Portsmouth.   


  3/ Who cares who you support.

    re .last 
    
    Had a good chuckle at that when I saw it in WSC. Whilst on
    the subject of Millwall's past(?) reputation does anyone
    remember the BBC documentary from 1978-ish which followed the
    fortunes of some of the club's more "enthusiastic" supporters?
    The "F" Troop, Halfway Line, The Surgeons(?) amongst others and 
    profiles on individuals who'd be working in community care jobs 
    one minute, and bashing lumps out of rival fans the next. If I 
    remember rightly at the time these Millwall fans talked excitedly 
    of how they were going to "do" the Spurs, who'd been relegated to 
    Division Two, the previous season. That kept us talking at school
    for ages.   
    
    

    
    I remember the documentary about Millwall - F Troop, Harry the dog (the
    social worker.....). etc etc
    
    My favourite bit was when they followed Millwall to Bristol Rovers and
    'Harry the dog launched a one man attack on the Bristol Rovers end' -
    2000 against 1 wasn't very good odds and poor old Harry got a severe
    kick-in....
    
    On a similar subject, there was a documentary about 'The cockney reds',
    it followed Man Utd's London supporters on an away trip to Norwich.
    The presence of the TV cameras 'encouraged' them to riot in the ground,
    some moron was filmed walking on the roof above the terraces, then
    falling through straight onto a crash barrier - I think he broke his
    back in the fall.
    
    Paul

    re .Harry the Dog.
    
    Dear oh dear. They certainly knew how to name them back then. Delving
    back into Hooligan Lore I recall the rather colourfully named 
    "One Armed Babs". Whether this chap existed or not is debatable but
    legend has it that he was a Chelsea fan with, you've guessed it, one
    arm. Apparently rival fans were known to launch into a chorus of:
    
    "Babsy gives us a clap,
     Babsy, Babsy give us a clap."
    
    "Arrivederci Millwall" was pretty poor. I think it was directed by
    a novice stright from Film school who walked off with an award for
    it (a pair of tickets for the Den would have been fitting). Better, but
    only slightly, was another film, the title escapes me, but featuring the
    rather good Gary Oldman. The film landed the producers in trouble with
    Ron Noades because of scenes filmed inside Selhurst. The ending 
    with the shotgun-in-the-pub-scene was way over the top and left you
    wondering whether Pacino or De Niro might sneak an appearence as the
    credits rolled.
    
    barry. (norman)
     
    

    Do they print a list of the famous battles that Millwall have been in
    in the millwall programs like other clubs print their list of honours.
    
    I can remember a cup tie at Goodison when some Millwall fans got in the
    St End - made the front page of the sunday papers.
    
    Nige

    >list of famous battles...in the millwall programs like other clubs
    >print their list of honours
    
    The mind boggles at other oppurtunities. Can you imagine an "action
    from last weeks game" photo spread. 
    
    "3. Harry the Dog and his deadly "Blackburn" DMs make it 15-0 to the 
     Lions"
    
    
    
    Apologies in advance,
    
    barry.  

    
    Re-1
    
      I was there......Flowered Up did want it,I laughed my socks off.
    
        Flowered Up did New Cross a couple of Weeks ago,and there were
      loads of Millwall there again,and its like a Ex Football thug reunion
      at Flowered Up.

    re. 26 "The Cockney Reds"
    
    I was at the game when Man. United's "fans" demolished the Barclay End
    stand.  It was quite frightening, especially as I was only about 9 at
    the time.  I seem to remember the bloke who fell through the roof was
    not badly injured.  As he was being taken away on a stretcher, a group
    of thugs chased after him, so he got up off the stretcher and legged it!

  ***	VIOLENCE THAT OVERSHADOWED THE GAME   ***
	The violence that overshadowed the game was @ first blamed on
	our boys by the tabloid press, not the fact that with just over
	10 mins to go before kick off untold fans were stuck outside 
	the ground trying to get in. The OLD BILL using their wisdom to
	the full decided to push the fans from the back of the terrace
	towards the front. In doing so this led to an overspill onto the 
	pitch and hence labeled " a pitch invasion". The boys in blue then
	decided to push the fans back onto the already packed terrace, only
	to find the fans resisting, hence truncheons started to fly.
	I would like to know why ARSENAL did not make the game all ticket
	and hence avoid all the agro that went on.

ROLL ON THE START OF THE FOOTY SEASON ,CAN'T WAIT.
FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON AWAY TO WATFORD SHOULD BE A GOOD TURN OUT.
HOWEVER, SINCE I NO LONGER LIVE IN SOUTH LONDON THE SLP IS NOT EASY TO GET
HOLD OF, THUS I'VE MISSED OUT ON ANY TRANSFER NEWS OR GOSSIP CONCERNING
THE CLUB. 
I NEED SOME INFO TO KEEP ME GOING.
DREW.

CHECKED MY STANDBY ROTA, ALL O.K. FOR WATFORD.
I JUST HOPE THAT WATFORD DO NOT CHANGE THEIR MINDS AND MAKE THE GAME ALL
TICKET.

    I am quite sure WFC will NOT make the game all ticket. I expect 
    Millwall standing supporters will be given the "freedom" of 
    the Rookery end 
        
    Martin

After watching Millwall play attractive football that seemed to confuse
the Arsenal, I have come to the conclusion that if the standard of 
Premier league footy is just kick and rush, then maybe gaining promotion
shouldn't be such a high priority.
  Of course I don't mean it, although watching a pile of crap like 
Arsenal makes you wonder.

    Millwal 1 Newcastle 2
    
    I saw the game on Saturday, afterwards, I couldn't help thinking that 
    Newcastle will struggle in the Premier league next season. Millwall
    were all over them in the first half (hit the woodwork twice), even
    though we were not playing at our best, and what a soft goal
    Newcastles' second was. Newcastle will have to change 1 or 2 players in
    all sections of their team (i.e. Defence, Midfield and Attack), If they
    are to survive in the 'dizzy heights' of the Premier league.
    
    Millwall have been bloody unlucky this season!

  >   and what a soft goal Newcastles' second was.
    
    Pure skill from Cole more like.
    
  >  Newcastle will have to change 1 or 2 players in
  >      all sections of their team (i.e. Defence, Midfield and Attack)
    
    Your team is one of the best home teams in the league. For Newcastle to
    inflict your 2nd home defeat of the season at such a critical time for both
    teams, shows that Newcastle are a resilient team. You were the better
    team in the first half, but it appears (by all accounts) that we had
    much the better the second half. 
    We were not at full strength and had �4M worth of talent injured for the 
    match, (Howey at centre half, O'Brien in midfield and Peacock in 
    midfield/up front). We could do with maybe another defender or midfielder. 
    Watch Keegan move in on Roy Keane if Forest get relegated.
    
    Tim            

    Richard Cadette of Falkirk FC will be playing for Millwall on
    Saturday as he is on loan and may end up signing with the Club.
    Could someone let me know how he got on if anyone is going to the
    game on Saturday.
    
    
    Steve.
    

    
    Richard Cadette has now scored 3 goals in 3 games for Millwall, 
    I think he will be a good buy for the club as he did a Great 
    Job for Falkirk ....
    
    
    

    In the news last night it said that  Cadette wasgoing to be signed for 
    #150,000. I think it would probably be best for both clubs and the
    player.
     Just think,Jim Jefferies could probably  get 1 and a half John Clarkes
    for that money.

    I would have said he was worth more than 150,000 but there must have
    agreed on this sum when he went on loan, Cadettes wife did'nt like
    it up here and this was an Ideal move for him..
    
                                                    

    I THINK WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK TO 178 STEVE.I FEEL THAT THERE
    ARE NO MILLWALL FANS OUT THERE....
    

	Please don't SHOUT.

    It looks like Jimmy Nicholl (ex ManU, Rangers and currently managing
    Raith Rovers), will be replacing McCarthy at Millwall....
