Millwall slam fans after violent scenes mar League One play-off final against Barnsley at Wembley

BY TYRONE MARSHALL

Monday 30th May 2016

Millwall fans stormed through a police barrier to attack Barnsley supporters in the final seconds of the Tykes' League One play-off final victory


Police and stewards try and hold back Millwall fans at Wembley

The League One play-off final ended with violent scenes in the stands as Millwall supporters broke through a police cordon to try and attack Barnsley fans.

The Tykes were 3-1 up at Wembley with seconds to go when a group of Millwall fans in the top tier of the national stadium tried to force their way past the police to get at rival supporters.

A large number of Barnsley supporters were forced to flee the area to avoid trouble as Millwall fans threw punches as they tried to get through the line of police and stewards.

Millwall have since condemned the actions of their supporters and have promised to issue a life ban to anyone found guilty of being involved in the trouble.



A statement read: "Millwall Football Club deplores the actions of a small minority of its fans during the second-half of Sunday's League One Play-Off Final.

"Such behaviour is unacceptable and anyone found guilty of disorder will face life bans from the football club."

The Football Association have also said they will be working closely with both clubs and the police to try and identify the trouble makers.


"The FA condemns the disorder caused by a small number of fans at yesterday’s League One Play Off final between Barnsley and Millwall," they said in a statement.

"We will work closely with the clubs, the Football League and the Met Police to identify those involved and take appropriate action.

"We would like to take this opportunity to praise the actions of our stewards and the police, who responded responsibly under provocation."

SUNDERLAND EYE SUBOTIC

Sunderland are weighing up a move for Borussia Dortmund defender Neven Subotic, according to the Sunderland Echo.

The paper reports that Sam Allardyce is hoping to increase the competition in his defence next season, and is also interested in QPR centre-back Steven Caulker.

MAN UTD IN FOR OXFORD

West Ham have prepared themselves to receive an offer from Manchester United for teenager Reece Oxford, reports the Daily Mail.

The Hammers believe a bid for the young defender could arrive this week. The 17-year-old made 12 appearances for West Ham last season.

EVERTON FLASH CASH AT KOEMAN

Everton have offered to make Ronald Koeman one of the best-paid managers in the Premier League, according to the Mirror.

The paper reports that Southampton have offered Koeman a £2.5m-a-year two-year contract, but Everton are prepared to offer him £6million annually.

SAINTS KEEN ON LONG STAY

Southampton are considering offering Shane Long a new improved contract to deter Liverpool and Spurs making a bid for the Irish international, says the Daily Mirror.

Long struck 10 times for the Saints last season, form which is believed to have put him on the wanted list of Jurgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino.

The Spurs boss was in Dublin on Friday to see Long score for the Republic against the Netherlands, but Southampton are desperate to keep hold of the 29-year-old.

Long still has two years left on his current deal and could be set for a significant pay rise on the south coast by agreeing new terms.

GERMANS WANT CHELSEA DEFENDER

Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen might be about to make his loan move to Borussia Monchengladbach permanent in a £15.2million deal, claims Bild.

The 20-year-old is current halfway through a two-year loan deal with the German side, who are eager to have the Dane on board full-time.

However, Chelsea see Christensen as a potential long-term replacement for John Terry and are only likely to entertain a transfer bid from Monchengladbach if it contains a buyback clause.

MATA LINKED WITH BARCA

Juan Mata could be on his way from Manchester United to Barcelona in a £26million summer move, according to reports in Spain.

The unveiling of Jose Mourinho in the Old Trafford hotseat has placed a huge question mark over Mata's long-term prospects, having been sold to the Red Devils by the then Chelsea boss in 2014.

And Mundo Deportivo claims the 28-year-old was in Barcelona last week and would be keen on a return to his native Spain.

AGENT DAMPENS CELTIC TALK

Joe Allen's agent has downplayed suggestions Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen is about to be reunited once again with Brendan Rodgers at Celtic.

The pair also worked together at Swansea City, prompting speculation north of the border the new Parkhead boss would make Allen a top target.

But the Welshman's representative isn't convinced the Scottish Premiership champions could afford the 26-year-old.

Glenn Corcoran explained to the Daily Record: "If Liverpool were willing to sell – and that is a big ‘if’ because I’ve not had that conversation with the club – they would ask for too much money for him.

“I don’t know if Celtic at this moment would be willing to spend that sort of money and the wages would also be a massive issue.”

RASHFORD AGREES NEW UNITED DEAL

Marcus Rashford has signed a new contract which ties him to Manchester United until 2020.

The deal will see a big pay rise for the 18-year-old, who burst into the first team last season under Louis van Gaal and has already forced himself into the England squad.

Fellow youngster Cameron Borthwick-Jackson has also penned a new Old Trafford contract until 2020.

Manchester United have an option to extend both deals for another year.

PELLEGRINI HINTS AT RETIREMENT

Former Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has told the Guardian he might quit the game if an "interesting" job offer doesn't materialise.

The Chilean is on the market for a new role after being replaced at the Etihad by Pep Guardiola and is one of the leading candidates for the current Everton vacancy.

But should the 62-year-old miss out on the Toffees post, it could spell the end of his managerial career.

Pellegrini said: "If I don’t have a really interesting option I will stop until I find one. If I have to stop (completely), I will stop.

"It can be now, (until) December, one year or for ever. Of course, I would miss it. The challenge keeps me alive.”
