Millwall - why always us?

[catcherintherye]

If you say so. You sound like the undefeated

Lol. What do you think happened then?

It doesnt really matter how I sound does it? It doesnt change what happened does it.

You are the expert apparently so I will leave you to it.

Leave me to what?

I assumed you must be writing a FV book. It's very de rigueur these days.

Absolutely 100% against racism. But we are Millwall and everything gets misconstrued. My knees are shot. 2 double arthroscopies in 2020. I would seriously expect a standing ovation if I could take the knee. Hands up. I went up to central London to protect Winston Churchill’s statue with a number of our patriotic fans but not to incite trouble just to defend our wartime hero’s statue from a hate mob. Personally I don’t see colour I just see right and wrong. Do we have a racist element? Yes probably we cannot deny that. But they shame us they don’t represent us. We really do a massive amount for local community and under privileged especially local girls football. But that don’t sell papers and we are the pantomime villain. My youngest son now 15 has had a real hard time because he is Millwall. He has been targeted in all his schools. But that’s who we are and I feel terrible for him and blame myself. But he is the most sensitive innocent soul you could ever meet. I am not. I was brought up on the other side of the tracks. Adopted, lower working class background and I have fought all my life trying to give my kids a better life and I couldn’t be more proud of them all. But I am Millwall it’s in my blood like Everton is in yours. I can only apologise so much for being affiliated to over exaggerated stereotypes of what the press paint us as. But we are, by a large majority very decent human beings with very working class backgrounds who will defend our honour and our club, sometimes misguidedly, against all comers. But the vast majority of us are not how we are portrayed. My best mate who lost his life to bone marrow disease a few years back was staunchly Everton and Millwall his second team. No idea why but he was. In his memory and in deference to his lovely family I have adopted Everton as my second team and I am very, very proud to have that cherished association with you.

Millwall will always be my first team but I care and feel deeply about Everton. I also do not feel ashamed about being a white heterosexual male which I don’t believe makes me racist or sexist or anything-ist. I am a proud Englander and Brit. I pay my taxes, I help as many children’s charities as I can and I love my family almost as much as I love Millwall. If I was Gareth Bale I would say youngest son, Millwall, rest of Family, Everton, Santa Claus, etc..

That's quite the impassioned post fella. I'm curious, why on an Everton forum?

Hang on a minute, you’re the one who jumped in on a poster who was talking about what happened at our cup match there the other year basically denying his version of events. Now you’re getting all shirty because someone who was actually there told you what did happen

I did like the bit about how Millwall fans can't be working class because they are all in the EDL.

I'm not trying to be horrible mate, but you had a pop at the Evertonian saying their account was wrong. Were you there?

From my experience of Millwall they come across as knife wielding EDL sh1tbags who set upon people with knives.

You dont need to be writing a football book to know that, or be aware of what happened in the cup game. But do tell us, what happened if you feel the version of events presented was wrong. You are obviously the expert.
