Video of Millwall fans fighting each other resurfaces and instantly goes viral

A video of Millwall fans fighting each other at a match resurfaces and instantly goes viral again, getting over 5 million views on Twitter.

Two supporters engaged in a rather pathetic altercation, said to be from the last home Championship fixture for Millwall, when they beat Plymouth 1-0, ad fans invaded the pitch.

One lad in a pink jacket seemed to provoke another individual into a confrontation and as the young supporter retreated, he unexpectedly received a punch to the face from an older male.

This incident escalated into a larger brawl, with numerous Millwall fans exchanging blows until security and stewards arrived to restore order.

The number of arrests related to football in England and Wales has increased for the third consecutive year during the 2023-24 season. West Ham supporters recorded the highest number of banning orders, totaling 93, while fans of Manchester United and Millwall ranked second and third, respectively.

In total, 825 new banning orders were issued across the country during the 2023-24 season, marking a 21 percent rise and representing the highest figure for a single season since 2010-11.

A significant majority of the banning orders were directed at males aged 18 to 34, with 99.4 percent of the 2,172 orders in effect as of August 2024 being issued to males, and 68.1 percent specifically targeting supporters within that age group.

The National Police Chiefs’ Council’s Lead for Football Policing, Chief Constable Mark Roberts, said: “While the total number of incidents is still above pre-pandemic levels, it’s encouraging to see them stabilising and going in the right direction, with a 12 per cent fall in the number of matches where football-related incidents were reported.

“That correlates with the proactive approach we have seen from police forces across the country.

“It is important that these figures are put into context. Last season around 47 million people attended men’s domestic and international matches, the highest number we have on record, and the vast majority of football fans are law-abiding citizens who want to support their team.

“However, there are a small number of fans who commit offences, and we will continue to work closely with the CPS and our other partners to ensure that those responsible are held accountable.”

The predominant cause of arrests was attributed to public disorder offences, accounting for 43 percent, followed by violent disorder offences at 19 percent, and possession of Class A drugs at 13 percent.

All 281 arrests associated with international tournaments occurred during Euro 2024, while there were 344 arrests for Class A drug possession at football matches in England and Wales.

These figures contributed to the overall increase in arrests.

Throughout the season, there were 423 documented incidents of online hate crime related to football, a significant rise from 234 in the previous season of 2022-23.

The report indicated that this increase was likely a result of enhanced reporting practices and the implementation of more standardised recording methods, rather than a genuine rise in the number of online hate crime incidents.
