Re: RATE THE REF - Leigh Doughty v Millwall

Millwall's game plan was to kick Tella, the ref set his stall out by not booking their CH for going through the back of him early in 1st half. Poor first half for the ref for not taking control, 2nd half easy game to referee.

No worries, by look of it when we ordered Millwall tickets you don't have a choice. Hopefully should be straightforward enough, always wary though after a bad experience with easy jet at Liverpool Airport.
