Letter from a fan?

The official Liverpool website have published a letter from a Millwall fan, so they say. Un-named, of course. Real? Doubt it. Probably written by a Liverpool fan. Shouldn't they apologise to that disabled fan they trampled over last night?

For what it's worth here's the almost certainly bogus letter appearing on the Liverpool official site from a "Millwall" fan - yeah right!

"I would just like to apologise to the Liverpool supporters for the disgraceful Hillsborough taunts at last night's game. I've been a Millwall fan all my life and have witnessed many low points in the club's recent history, from being a schoolboy at Luton in the quarter finals, to the near end of the club after the riot after the Birmingham play-offs.

"There were many thousands of other fans in the ground who feel the same as myself, that tragedies like Hillsborough should not be used for baiting away support, and I hope that the majority of Liverpool fans can understand that.

"There will always be an element of the crowd willing to use such taunts, and as the years pass I can only hope they become fewer and fewer. I've no problem with banter between fans as this adds to the atmosphere but there are some things that should be left alone.

"So on behalf of the majority of Millwall football fans I wish you all the very best in the next round of the competition and for the rest of the season.

God Bless & Good Luck"

This is getting beyond a joke. Some Wall fans claim the Liverpool fans taunted us about Hungary, but like the supposed Hillsborough chants none were heard by me nor anyone I know.
