On a night when yet another racism storm went a-brewing, this time in Paris involving alleged racist comments from of all people, a fourth official, English second-tier club Millwall breathed a huge sigh of relief.
On Saturday during their home Championship meeting with Wayne Rooney’s Derby County, fans booed the players as they took the knee in football’s continued protest against racism.
The past weekend was supposed a good news story with fans being allowed into league grounds across England for the first time in nine long months. And The Den, Millwall’s stadium was one of 35 arenas permitted attendances of 2,000.
