Another double standard

If that had been Millwall supporters fighting with police, invading the pitch and firing flares at the opposition fans, there would have been demands to have the ground closed, points deductions, fines, statements in parliament and the involvement of the UN and almost certainly the Equality and Human Rights Commission. But it wasn’t, it was Birmingham City supporters and the most stringent action taken so far is that the club has announced it will have a quick look at the problem and see if anything needs doing. Premier League clubs get away with it all the time.

Just wait until we play them in the FA Cup………………..
