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!!

COME ON YOU LIONS!!!!!!!

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!!
