Millwall fans have garnered themselves quite a poor reputation in recent years, and yesterday’s events did nothing to change that

The scenes in Wembley at the FA Cup semi-final were marred by violence from the Millwall fans in the stands as their team lost 2-0 to Wigan.
Fighting broke out amongst the fans themselves, which then turned into a fight between them and the police. Here’s just some of the action, including a guy at the end stealing a policeman’s hat and having a laugh about the whole situation.
These scenes have been roundly condemned by both clubs and ten arrests have been made.
Millwall manager Kenny Jacket said “We’ve worked very hard to do everything we possibly can to try to be trouble-free but if crowd trouble is going to be continuously brought up with Millwall, that will hold us back”, while Wigan manager Roberto Martinez said it “leaves a bad taste for the huge majority they had here – with their impeccable behaviour.”
