Three Off as City Lose Heated Clash

FL Defeat

Despite finishing the game with 9-men, Millwall became the first-team to win a Football League Championship game at Ninian Park this 2005. Dennis Wise' side played backs against the wall after taking an early lead, but a late fracas which saw three red cards will capture the headlines.

With so many banning orders and the like in place, fighting at Ninian Park has thankfully been something of a rarity in recent seasons. Still, with Millwall in town the ground was covered in Police yet they'd have been better positioned on the pitch as a last minute mass brawl stole the headlines as three players saw red.

On the pitch, a first-half Danny Dichio penalty separated the two sides in a game that created few clear-cut chances. The penalty came from a foolish hand ball from 'Ginger Monster' James Collins who was later dismissed during the late fracas. A poor result for City and the relegation threat is back at Ninian Park.

More to follow.
