Didnt a Gillingham fan kill a Fulham fan? |
Yeah, that happened. Horrible. The context is the Fulham fan in question (a known hooligan) approached a Gills fan after the game, and I don't think he wanted to congratulate them on the win (2-0 iirc - I was at that game). Cullen punched the hooligan and his ring caused a fatal injury. Completely horrible and I can see why you brought it up. Also, I've heard a few racist comments at Gillingham matches, and I think a fan got done a few years ago for racially abusing a player. Completely embarrassing.
The thing is, I never said I never see any trouble with other clubs. But there's something about Millwall that a section of fans just love to pretend that this is Football Factory and they are proper hard men and seriously, you're delusional if you think otherwise. I was on a train coming into London Bridge and a bunch of Millwall fans (I'd say 30-50 years old) started a fight. Some kid got completed battered by them. The oldest shouted "STAND UP FOR YOUR MATES" as he was just desperate for other people to join in so he could carry on fighting. This sort of rubbish does happen with other clubs, but IME it happens a hell of a lot with that South London hell hole. |
Every time i've been to Gillingham
4-5 times some very badly dressed locals have tried kicking off with the early stragglers..
i used to have a friend in Gillingham so when Millwall played there i'd stay there and the locals are not friendly
Can you explain why your fans sing no one likes us? As i'd hazard a guess that no one really knows them. |
"No-one knows us
no-one cares

RR&R obviously too drunk to be allowed into the stadium  |
Maybe that explains why he thought Ben Smith was still at Crawley? |

Gillingham is an absolute dive, only marginally better than Luton in fairness. Lots of chavs, but I'd rather be around chavs than wannabe football factory men spoiling for a fight.
Re: the song, like 95% of club fans, we've nicked a song from another club. Yours. I agree, it's proper cringeworthy and I don't think many other fans care about Gills - in fact, I think Gillingham were one of about four or five PL/FL clubs not to be mentioned as a rival by any other team. So agree, it's a cringe song to choose to nick.
Anyway, I never tried to pretend that Millwall were the only club with problems, or that my first team don't have an element of support which are lamentable. But IME Millwall are easily the worst set of supporters I've encountered, and I've tried to not listen to their reputation. Am just going on experiences. It's natural that you want to stick up for them. Even if elements of your support do still love a fight. |

The FF was only made in 2002 ish and FV has been prevalent for a lot longer than that
the regulars i have seen at Millwall are not interested in fighting wannabes or fans in colours it doesnt do much for their reputation seeing as most are well known faces
Unfortunately when FF was made the Stone Island wannabes appeared everywhere and Millwall with its reputation were always going to get the most
i remember Stone Island being worn early to mid 90s and a lot of the older Millwall lot actually have in fights with rival factions of Millwall fans for attacking scarfers and not being there when it really counts..The youngsters now admiteddly are not up to the mark of their elders so attack all and sundry
nowadays the older fellas that know the score just want a drink a laugh maybe go watch a punk/oi band after...FV is dead. |

| Quote: | | This year, only two arrests were made at the family-orientated club, Mr Darler added. Before the game on Saturday he said he would have been amazed if it was used more than 10 times. In fact, in a crowd of 7,109 only seven people were asked "and none of them were refused entry", he said. |

Just one restaurant, ...in Cambridge.
Maybe it's something about Cambridge folk? |

Now that I can understand as you must be smashed out of your skull to want to eat that junk.
If you're not drunk they'll give you some special brew so it tastes okay. |
