    When you step into the millwall ground you go through a space time portal that transports you back to 1987. It is truly a marvel

    Is it bad I laughed at this? Serious question. It was just the absurdity of it.

    Is there a chart for what chant topics are allowed and not? I know of racist and homophobic not being allowed. But this one?

    Tbf I had a Millwall season ticket for 5 yeaes and never heard anything of this sort. Of course there are a minority of bad eggs but many Millwall fans are descended.from.zirish migrants.

    Disdain for religion. Disdain for terrorism. What exactly is the problem

      McClean isn’t involved in either, directed at him it is meant as abuse. Seeing opposition to it is like lads who can’t see the problem with “all lives matter!”.

        Because they aren’t saying them for any other reason than bigotry and hating Irish catholics.

        Like I’m not religious and don’t go to mass but I was born catholic and a certain segment of the population only cares about that last part.

        And saying fuck the IRA is a wee bit hypocritical when most people who say it are flag shaggers who worship the army.
