Liverpool, Millwall in trouble with FA
Liverpool and Millwall have both been charged by the Football Association over the crowd trouble which broke out during the Carling Cup match on October 26, with the London club also charged over alleged racist abuse by fans.
Four supporters were arrested and 68 seats ripped up during the match which Liverpool won 3-0.
Liverpool’s Djimi Traore was racially abused and there were claims that Millwall fans chanted songs about the Hillsborough disaster and Kenneth Bigley, who had just been murdered in Iraq.
Millwall have been charged with two breaches of FA rules, for failing to ensure that fans refrained from racist and/or abusive behaviour and for failing to prevent spectators throwing missiles onto the pitch.
Liverpool have been charged with one breach for failing to prevent their fans conducting themselves in threatening and/or violent and/or provocative behaviour.
Both clubs have until December 23 to respond.
