Full-Time

Tranmere Rovers 2 - 0 Millwall

After awarding the penalty to Tranmere in the first half when it should have been a yellow card for diving, the referee finished by denying Millwall 2 penalties in the late stages of the 2nd half, 1 for a blatant handball in the box, the other for a challenge that had Gary Alexander eating what is left of the turf at Tranmere, it was obvious that today's officials were determined not to allow Millwall to take anything at all from the game. The Tranmere stewards even joining in hampering David Forde when trying to collect the ball. It was absolutely shocking! How can the FA justify their respect the ref campaign when their officials behave like this. It was a deeply unfair game. The Lions soon realised they stood no chance when it came to the officials and heads dropped. The Lions should have put in a better performance, that said one can't be sure with the blatant bias of the officials, that a better performance would have produced a better result.
The only hope remaining to the Lions is the own goal that saw Charlton beat Leeds (MUGGGSSSS) 1- 0, hahahaha. It now goes down to the last game of the season!!!!!!

UNBELIEVABLE

The Tranmere Stewards are now hampering Millwall keeper David Forde from retrieving the ball and then showing him the "V"! This is unbelievable disrespect shown by Tranmere staff......one can only feel that Tranmere need to address this!

Goal!!

Half-Time

Tranmere Rovers 1 - 0 Millwall

A farcical penalty awarded on the stroke of half-time by the linesman, replays showing that the it was definitely not a penalty...the replay clearly showing no contact, it would appear that Millwall are playing 12 men, the referee appeared to be reaching for his cards to award Thomas-Moore a yellow, the linesman over-ruling him, awarding the Tranmere player a penalty instead of the card for diving. Millwall manager will be furious when he sees the replay. Tranmere are embarrassingly diving all over the place and the linesman reading it as he wants. Millwall should have had a penalty earlier in the game, the Tranmere players pushing and knocking the Millwall players all over the place in the box for a Millwall free kick.
Millwall are nervy when they get in the Tranmere box, they just need to calm their nerves and the game is theirs. Patience is the key for the Lions in the second half assuming that the linesman does his job fairly. At this stage of the season with everything that is riding on the match it is vital that the officials get the big decisions right. Shocking officiating! Lets hope they can get it right in the second half!

Goal!!

Full-Time from the Den!

MILLWALL 2 - 1 LEYTON ORIENT

Orient were more lively in the 2nd half however the Lions had control still early on and the substitution on the 61st which saw Gary Alexander come on for Chris Hackett helped lead towards the first goal, when the ball wasn't dealt with properly by the Orient defense and found its way to the Lions captain who gave his side the lead on the 69th minute!
Orient brought on some more attacking players who created some minor problems but the Lions just kept charging and when Scott Barron was brought down inside the box by Adam Chambers on the 80th minute, the Lions were awarded a penalty, which Steve Morison converted to bag his 20th goal of the season!
The game wasn't over yet though and Orient pressed hard in the last few minutes, a foul by Darren Ward in extra time led to a free kick for Orient and went out for a corner, which Orient took quickly and Ben Chorley shot it into the back of the net. The last minute was more nervy for the the Lions than it had to be but the Lions finished on top, taking a vital three points.
COME ON THE LIONS!!!!

Half - Time from the Den

MILLWALL 0 - 0 LEYTON ORIENT

Millwall have given the home fans a wonderful display in the first half of this London derby, the fans having plenty to cheer about even with that all important goal still just eluding the Lions. Millwall have controlled and dominated most of the first half, spending most of their time in the Orient half. Neil Harris having some really good chances but the ball slipping just wide or just over! It has been fairly comfortable for the boys and they really do deserve a goal out of their first half efforts. Some stunning link up between Hackett, Schofield and Harris has seen the Lions creating the better of the chances. Although Orient have had some chances to get forward, you never felt there was really any danger, the Millwall defence dealing with it comfortably.
Millwall have to collect the three points today to stay in the running for automatic promotion with Leeds 2-1 up at home to the MK Dons. The Lions are creating enough chances for themselves, they just need to keep doing what they're doing and there is little doubt they can take this one all the way.
COME ON YOU LIONS!!!!! MILLWALL MILLWALL MILLWAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!

Full - Time form Huish Park

Millwall snatched a last minute equaliser at Huish Park through Jonathan Obika on the 90th minute, the first longball into the box all night from the Lions resulting in the goal, displaying just part of the Lions' problems all night.
The promotion seeking Lions put in a lack lustre performance and it felt as is if the team barely showed up. Yeovil dominated much of the play, although Millwall seemed to be pushing their own self-destruct button making the most basic of errors and failing to keep hold of the ball for any real periods. Jackett made all 3 subs fairly early on, Scott Barron replacing Liam Trotter (46th), Obika replacing Harris (53rd) and Chris Hackett replacing Shaun Batt (68th). The Lions only started to create any real chances in the last 10-15minutes of the game, far too little, far too late. The Lions have been humbled tonight. Thoroughly shocking and utterly disappointing from the Millwall side.
Millwall defender Alan Dunne said afterwards that the boys didn't show what they were capable of tonight and that it was a waste of 3 points. He went on to say that there is no reason the boys can't grab the 3 at Huddersfield on Friday night, although Huddersfield haven't lost at home all season requiring the lads to be on top form and that it was vital they return to winning ways as soon as possible. He hopes to make a return to the squad for the Orient game.
