Worst part about it,Danny dyer will get another series out of it

danny dyers next series in the bag.

here comes pitch invasion number 2.

absolutely pathetic.
no doubt it will be on youtube tomorrow

It is, and it certainly puts the occasional reports of "trouble" at league games into perspective.

I feel sorry for the fans who just wanted to go and watch the game and got caught in it all though.

west ham v millwall
it wasn't going to be tiddlywinks was it,aside from the protaganists the police should have had this covered weeks ago.

In fairness to the police, the draw was only made two weeks ago. It must take a lot of time and effort to organise such high level of security needed for a rivalry like this. Bringing in extra men from other forces would not have been easy in the time frame.

yeah but as soon as it kicked off they had no problem in bringing the extra men in did they

arrest the sodding lot of em and put em on the front line at Afghanistan and lets see what men they are,

another brave soldier lost his life today

In that case the extra forces should have been there from the beginning, so the police presence is felt by the fans right from the moment they get to the ground.

Im A Huge Football Fan But That Is Shocking And Is not Wanted In Any Sport. A Game Thats All It Is End Of The Day

Really Shocking

to be honest this is the sort of thing i expected when i heard west ham were playing millwall

Not shocked really, it was always going to happen, they hate each other like Celtic and Rangers or Liverpool and Everton but the difference is they have not pplayed each other for 8 years.

It was clearly organised violence which the police cannot stop. What happened inside the ground was nothing short of disgusting.

Credit to the players of both clubs especially one of the west ham players who went over a shook the fans hand and told him to get off the pitch, although the west ham player celebrating infront of the opposition fans did not help but was quite comical.

This needs to be clamped down on now so this behavious does not creep into our sport. I hope both clubs are fined and all the supporters involved are delt with.

You would have to say that Milwall are the problem, West Ham fans havent done this before and have played other fierce London Rivals for years.

Kick both clubs out of all competitions for 12 months, I bet it would never happen again.

Watching the scenes on the news tonight you would have to say the West Ham fans caused a lot of the trouble outside the ground and deffo inside the stadium. You dont hear much of the " ICF " these days but they were out in force tonight!

That is rather harsh.

CAnt wait to see how Burnley and Blackburn get on this year.



Foz

No i dont think it is mate!!!!!!!Just seen footage on sky news this is grown men we are talking about here,running riot not a few chavs in town....

get em banned or get them to play a couple of games behind closed doors,
both clubs should be appauled at their said fans behaviour.

It was the Wire fans fault.

My Brother in Law is a Blackburn fan and has the same concerns, to the extent where he has said he won't be going to the games because he is so sure there will be some sort of trouble, but I doubt it will be on the scale of last night.

wonder what this will do to our world cup bid 2018, theyve got about half a brain cell between them all, s

THEY HAVE GOT F UCK ALL ON WIDNES V WIRE MATCHES...

oops is that weatherspoons window gone through

Well done.

Jeez what is he a man or a mouse



I wasn't aware that Blackburn and Burnley fans were major players in the world of football hooliganism



Tell him it wont be a patch on the full scale riot that occured after a midweek cup game versus everton and millwall a few years back.

And yes Millwall bring trouble to wherever they go, they should be closed down imo.

I think you are very much underestimating the rivalry between the two clubs tbh together with the fact this is there first Premiership Match against each other. I know there have been incidents following Preston v Burnley games (mainly in Burnley town centre) and there is certainly an element of the fanbase of both clubs that will cause problems unfortunately.
