I was BB, my Dad went to the match, in private box/room, he was only Lion's
supporter amongst the Gills peeps he was with... have to say he predicted
beforehand that we'd lose 4-0 so we didn't do too sad, lol. However, Pops
said it was a shambles... now that's saying something when we're playing
Gills!!! <hangs head in shame>

Its a sad day for a Millwall fan when you can predict losing a game with
such a big goal difference. Oh well, there is always the return match!

"Metaphorically speaking, I was hiding under the bed duvet, following the
defeat of my family's favourite football team, Millwall, by local rivals,
Gillingham Football Club. My father attended the football match in
comparative luxury of a centrally located hospitality box rather than be in
an open air stand at the far end of the pitch. His companions, in the
hospitality accommodation, were Gills (Gillingham FC) supporters, whereas he
was the only Lion's (Millwall) supporter. One has to say, in modest defence
of such a devastating final score of Gillingham 3: Millwall 0, that his
saving grace was his pre match prediction of a 4 - 0 defeat. So some self
esteem was savaged and the prediction also numbed the effect of
disappointment. Such logic is a fortitude tempered with natural good
humour.

However, my father - who I speak of with some affection - made an
observation that the Millwall's performance was a condition of complete
disorder or ruin; a great clutter or jumble; a total mess; a place or scene
of bloodshed or carnage; and a scene or condition of great devastation. An
honest admission from a loyal Millwall supporter taking into account the
balance and weight of both teams, which leaves Gillingham light on football
skills and tactics and the inferior team. Such a premise leaves me to bow
my head in a shameful manner to demonstrate the disgust of my favourite
football team losing to the only Kent Football team in the Football League."

I hope this helps, although I doubt it. :-(

Obviously better things to do on a Saturday afternoon than to take an
interest in the nation's favourite sport, played throughout the world and
started in England.

Have not most people better things to do on a Saturday afternoon?

I think you will find that Angling is the most popular sport. Football may
be the nation's favourite couch potato sport. I think it is like religion,
encouraged by the powers that be to distract poor people from their
miserable existence in the 20s and 30s. The fact that it has survived to
this day, still largely watched by the poorest members of society, is a
testament to man's gullibility. While outraged by bankers and estate agents
etc supporters are quite happy for a brain dead yob to be paid half a
million a week. But then the pull of "religion" is very strong, once your
team is "believed in" (supported) it is an act of faith that cannot be
denied easily. If you notice even the players themselves behave like gods.
After scoring a goal they run round the field like a demented wasp with
their arms outstretched in the sign of the cross, finally kneeling down in
front of their adoring believers for them to pay homage.

How many runs did they lose by then? Or was it those wicket things?

I think you'll find as a Millwall supporter I don't take it too seriously,
it's a family thing.... I was brought up to support 'em. However, we're a
crap team and we know we are! lol. I don't waste my Saturday afternoons
watching football. I hate the same sort of thing... one goal and they think
they're god, although I have to say this is usually the Premier League type
of thing... when a Millwall player scores, they drop to their knees in shock
usually! lol.

I'd much rather be on a brisk walk, enjoying the countryside and then a
glass of wine on a Saturday afternoon, which is what I tend to do. Work??
On a Saturday....never had the need or desire to. In fact, I'd go as far to
say I'd rather go watch Gills play.... (and that's saying something!) ;-)

He writes posts on uk.local.kent, some of which are good ones but there is
also the odd bullshit like the one he has posted in this thread.

Reading this one again BB made me smile, I smiled even moreso when Millwall
drew with Charlton the weekend.... it was a tense afternoon in our
household, with my partner being a Charlton supporter (and his family).
Wind up texts were bounced back and forth between goals and fake
commiserations given after each one. I was dreading this match and so happy
to see a good match with lots of goals and a good result for Millwall.

The smile however faded somewhat when I saw the Gills result...... lol, just
kidding! ;-)

Well done, Charlton, whoops, I mean Millwall !

The Gills won at home due to hundreds of fans clearing the pitch of snow
before the match. I was there in spirit as I was clearing my drive.
