Interesting that the Millwall fans reckon Sky have got it in for their team, I suppose we all feel that we don't get the right treatment.

Interesting also that Cahill's still playing. I remember a Millwall fan I worked with over 15 years ago talking about him so he must be getting on.

At first glance it looks bad by Mitro but, looking at it properly, it was just a dismissive contemptuous swing that didn't make contact. Still a bit silly though.

I don't think mitro made contact and that is why he wasn't banned

Looks bad by Mitro at 2nd, 3rd and 4th glance too!.  Lined him up to take him out and also kicked out at him!  VERY lucky if he does escape.

That's the first time I've seen or heard of Mitrovic retaliation. That was almost a cracking left hook & the fact he got away with it, even better

my initial reaction was the same but then i thought, that was about 10 min from the end of the match when we were 2-0 up. had mitro got sent off it could have put the result in jeopardy and him being suspended would seriously diminish our chances of beating sunderland and brum. i expect jokanovic will actually be saying to him, you were bloody lucky there mate, don't do that again

In choice, concise Serbo-Croat.

Makes a change for us to get the rub of the green.

Got to say we've been getting that for a good while now. It's scary. Maybe the whole 'you make your own luck' adage is true.

Yeah, I get that, potentially very costly but he got away with it this time, which was nice because Cahill deserved a good kicking for that challenge.

Cahill wasn't so tough laying on the floor when Mitro wanted a piece of him.

Also, (and I know there are better ways to show it), but shows Mitro's commitment to the team by looking out for his teammate.
