CPFC v Millwall Match Thread

Football crowds are often like a creche where men regress to toddlers and we stamp our feet when we don't get our own way, blame everyone else and shout nasty things. The thing is, there are still rules that are so well advertised that if you breach them then you can't cry when you get punished. You might think it's ok to sing a song about someone being a rent boy, but the club and football in general have made it abundantly clear they don't agree and that you will be punished. Other chants like 'I hope he dies' are not clearly defined as banned, so whatever your moral standpoint, fans singing it can argue it's just 'light-hearted banter.' Fans singing that when a man is prone on the ground surrounded by medics is clearly – to any person of sound mind – disgusting, but then I heard Millwally fans were singing a racist song at a 6-year-old girl, so clearly within their base they have some vile elements. Mind you, it's not that surprising given they also famously voted in a BNP candidate in the 90s.

The keeper purposefully rushed out of his box. The keeper purposefully raised his foot to head height following a leap forward outside his box. The keeper knows the rules. The keeper did what he did. Difficult to prove a malicious intent to harm Mateta in a court of law because the keeper can make any story up.
Ironically in the split second Mateta had muscled the Millwall defender off the chase the keeper came flying in. The keeper could have just as well taken his own defender out on another day. I have to conclude it was purposeful foul play and the keeper needs a lengthy ban.

I’m not disagreeing at all with your wider commentary however I have long been opposed to any debate around whether there’s malicious intent with such a dangerous incident or whether it’s just a player being too stupid to avoid doing what their keeper did.

In either instance, a message has to be sent that challenges like that can’t just be palmed off as a minor issue. You’re not fit to be on a pitch doing that, whether it’s because you’re emotionally backwards or just thick as 5H!T.

The bottom line is , this offence has to be called out for being totally reckless and highly dangerous, whether the perpetrator was fully aware of the full possibilities of his actions is always open to debate. What should not happen here is to just accept this situation is a part of the game. It isn’t ,it was irresponsible at best, and illegal by the rules of the game, and goalkeepers in particular must have it impressed on them they can not be doing this without getting some very stringent serious come backs, including questioning of their personal morality.
 
I thought the Oliver Holt write up clearly articulated what the majority of football fans silently thought about Millwall and its supporters.

Never a game I circled except to avoid!!
