Millwall move to BAN Sky Sports from screening home Championship clash with Watford as furore over their fans booing players taking the knee rumbles on following incorrect website article... with Lions prepared to forego £75k broadcast fee

Millwall have moved to ban Sky Sports from televising their home game against Watford on December 29 amid an ongoing dispute with the broadcaster over their coverage of last week's game with QPR.

The network showed live coverage of the Championship clash which took place last Tuesday amid furore stemming from the previous game against Derby at the Den which saw supporters boo the now customary gesture of taking the knee before kick off.

Sky Sports carried a story on their website in the lead up to the game against QPR, reporting that Millwall's players would still take a knee - despite a joint statement from both clubs that players would not perform the gesture but instead hold up an anti-discrimination banner.
