Agreed. Also worth adding the context that the Millwall team we've scraped past today are expected to struggle this season. Happy to come away with 3 points after a very dramatic game though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes 100%, I seen a replay and the Millwall comms even said that hit his chest. His hand was out though but no way the ref could have seen it hit his hand because it didn't, he reacted to the Millwall appeals. The worst thing about it is Tanner didn't even complain about it whatsoever from what I seen, he should have went mental. Then it seemed our heads dropped even more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
