A vocal section of Millwall fans have been branded an "absolute disgrace" for booing as players took the knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Millwall's match with Derby on Saturday was the first time their supporters were able to watch from the stands since the coronavirus pandemic halted games in March.

About 2,000 fans attended the game at The Den but it was overshadowed as loud booing could be heard when players from both teams took the knee before kick off, with at least one supporter heard shouting "get up!".

You are so right. Some dolt said that BLM is an anti-racist group. No, it’s a Marxist, anti-American, anti-police group. I hope the crowds keep booing.

All lives matter, and if you disagree, you are not only a disgrace, you are a racist as well.

During the 70s & 80s Millwall had some of the toughest fans in England they were called the Millwall Bushwackers.

For those who don’t know Milwall and their fans, you don’t do that kneeling crap there.

I believe their slogan was “Nobody likes us and we don’t care”. Don’t sound like the type of people who would be impressed with attempts by privilaged elitist to shame them into virtue signalling.

Maybe they are non-racists who don't appreciate being targeted as racists by a hate group.

As I recall a terrorist attack was stopped by proud Millwall fan. They don’t take crap. I seriously doubt their being branded an “absolute disgrace” will bother them at all.

Traitorous opponents of those fans have been branded as an absolute disgrace by civic nationalists in many free countries. Good work, U.K. sports fans. We in the U.S.A. are admiring your courage. Consider taking another step by boycotting sports there, as we are doing here.

And many in BLM are racists, there’s nothing anti-racist about them when all they see, everywhere, is racism.

Per Morgan Freeman, the only way to stop racism is to stop talking about it. Constantly making it an issue in the USA in 2020 is just a temper tantrum, grow up. Of course the left will never let that happen.

This is the new fascism - the fascism of forced narrative. The Premier League openly goes on about fighting racism and wishes to purge all homophobic, islamophobic, and transphobic people.

Agree with their message or you’re a ‘bad person’. Right now they have rainbow shoe laces and corner flags. Jamie Vardy (Leicester City FC) scored a goal and ran over to a corner flag and slid right through it, braking it into pieces...of course it gets cut from replays and he gets attacked on social media - yet many of the actual fans feel exactly the same - stop with the narrative fascism.
