Following the dreadful violence and vandalism perpetrated by rioting Millwall fans last Saturday at Hull's KC Stadium, questions will need to be asked.Why did the police not act against the rioters? Why did they just stand to one side and watch them? Why no baton charge as would have happened in possibly every other country in the world? [Ah. Human Rights, eh? - Our sick interpretation.]
What will now be Millwall's punishment? I am fully aware that there is a massive distinction between the very decent people who run the Millwall club and a tiny minority of verminous supporters.
Suggestions:
1] Millwall are pushing for promotion. They should have points deducted - I would suggest six.
2] Alternatively, they could be barred from next season's FA Cup - but not perhaps the best solution as the punishment is too distant from the crime.
3] A further possibility would be to ban the sale of away tickets to all Millwall fans until the end of the season. This would necessarily have Millwall reimbursing the home clubs concerned for loss of revenue.
4] Naturally, any perpetrators identified on camera must receive a life ban.
A fine to the club does little to help.
Genuine travelling supporters must learn that they must alienate and ostracise these worthless low lifes or their club's future success will be derailed.
