Palace vs Millwall

Just reminiscing.....I remember the last Palace vs Millwall game I went to. I was crutches at the game and up popped Ben Watson with a last minute equaliser to make it 1-1.

I think celebrating that goal set me back a few weeks recovery 😅

I also remember the away fans were sitting beside the holmesdale and there was coin throwing and anything and everything else being thrown at each other 😅
Did we not play them recently enough and Olise scored a couple. When was it? Two seasons ago - or am I just making it up? Away, I thought - didn't hear of much trouble

Ah yes that was an away game under vierias season. I also remember listening to the radio when Jason puncheon scored a hatrick against us for millwall. Could have been George burleys last game for us?
 
I remember going to the old den in the cup and Jim Cannon scored a last minute equaliser, not a pleasant experience getting away from the ground after. Thanks Jim 😀 might as well not have bothered because we lost the replay at selhurst

Also in the 80’s we beat them at the den which helped put another nail in their relegation coffin. Of course outside the ground after they wanted to shake our hands and wish us all the best for the rest of the season
 
Welcome mate, agree about getting excited for the match. It's well known that your rivalry is with Wet Spam, suprised you think we are 2nd, thought it would be the clowns.

the biggest joke of all : Everybody is lukewarm toward Charlton.

Palace vs Brighton......a proper derby

Millwall vs west Ham ...........a proper derby

Leyton Orient vs Dagenham & Redbridge..........a proper derby

Charlton........ like Coco the Clown......crying and lonely.
 
They have Norwich as one of their rivals……strangely!!!

Even my Charlton fan says it’s very weird and can’t explain it.
To be fair we've had 5 minute rivalries with a few clubs over the years (Watford, Bristol City... sort of, even Southampton was a bit weird because of Ward Prowse)

Those were the days and funny enough I do miss the old Den . Proper football ground .

Great draw for all concerned that should make for a cracking tie . Our boys will have to be 'on it' thats for sure .
 
Is March 1st defo the date now? No chance of moving? I am in UK at the moment but will be away that weekend in Europe which is annoying

I can't say I miss it. Particularly that desolate sort of alley that ran up to the stand which was like something out of a post apocalyptic sci-fi film and was scattered with broken bricks, lumps of metal and other tools of the trade of their scampish fan base. Has a ground ever had a more appropriate address than Cold Blow Lane?
On a happier note Esse isn't cup tied so hopefully has a point to prove.

You have a poor memory. 3 seasons ago - Olise and JP scored. However, the Millwall fans covered themselves in glory, as usual, and afterwards the chairman had to put out a statement asking fans not to take coke in the bogs!

The TV schedule hasn't yet been released as far as I'm aware. The game could be any day over that weekend if it's chosen for TV (and given the rivalry between the two clubs I would be surprised if it's not chosen).

The last round's TV schedule stretched from the Friday to the Tuesday; whether this next round will remains to be seen.

"I was coked up" probably counts as a legal defence for committing mayhem.
