Karl Bates BBCRadio 📻⚽️

Comfy win for #Millwall Del Boy & Neghli with couple of beauties, QPR never got into the game Must admit was surprised to see Derek start, NOT at all surprised to see standing ovation for him at the end. MOM for me 🦁all but assured top 6 finish, who knows what else? Cushty

@lmstepney1 @JackCallaghan05 @MillwallFC Glad he enjoyed it, couldn’t have picked a much better game

Thanks to all all the media team at @MillwallFC for @JackCallaghan05 's media experience today. Chatted to legends like Tonksy and @Karl_Bates . He said the noise at pitchside when we score is electrifying. 💙🦁

Remembering all those who lost their lives on the 37th anniversary of The Hillsborough tragedy. Thoughts, love & prayers to their families, friends and everybody affected by that tragic day in 1989. They shall never walk alone. #YoullNeverWalkAlone #Hillsborough #NeverForgotten

👀 what you did there 👏

@CharlieWyett @BirdakaMel So they shouldn’t cheer or get excited if their team score/win against league leaders? Apologise,look at the floor, promise not to smile until they get🏠? I had fans screaming in my face & yelling personal abuse at me, if anything away staff need a bit of protection from🏠fans

@BirdakaMel @Karl_Bates Whatever your view, the press box has always been somewhere where people work and don't behave like fans, though

A few issues at the end with Bournemouth's analysts annoying Arsenal fans by celebrating. This seems to be happening quite a lot with most teams. Away analysts need to be a bit more professional when they are next to home supporters thesun.co.uk/sport/38789773…

@SamSpencerr @SohamTownRanger Fingers crossed when the dates are released I can come along and support the greens

@Karl_Bates @SohamTownRanger You’re welcome, mate. Thank you for your support. Roll on the play offs! 👏🏻

Gotta love #nonleague ⚽️ @SohamTownRanger players as a thank you to the fans for their support throughout the season clubbed together & got them all a drinks token for a🍺 at the clubhouse after the last 🏠 league game 👏

Bigger picture needed #Millwall sit 2nd Best points record on the road in league Most clean sheets in be league Early part of the season started (regularly) with NO actual central midfielder Defeated likes of Hull, Wrexham, Boro on the road,superb win against Saints & thrashed Charlton Yes, going up automatically is unlikely but to be still in with a sniff is incredible considering the budget of the teams 🦁 up against Last night they looked shattered (no surprise considering 3 games in a week, but remember the crossbar denied BFS a winner & same at ITFC, very fine margins So overall, not bad eh

One of the very few perks of Sky inventing Friday night ⚽️ , is that I can watch the mighty greens one more time this season #COYGB

We have arrived #Millwall

@WG_RumblePants Jacques Kallis , best all rounder that ever played the game -priceless

I’ve been trying to think of 80s and 90s cricketers who missed out on the franchise revolution, but who may have been big money players (if they’d had the chance). So far I’ve got: Sir Viv Richards Sir Curtly Ambrose Courtney Walsh Sir Ian Botham Darren Gough Graham Gooch Robin Smith Kapil Dev Anil Kumble Mohammad Azharuddin Allan Donald Lance Klusener Javed Miandad Saeed Anwar Imran Khan Wasim Akram Waqar Younis Who have I missed out?

@JMO_96 10 first team players injured shows great squad depth Top side, next season should be right up there

@Karl_Bates In fairness that was the first game we've had any options off the bench in about 2 months. Still have 10 first team players out injured despite a couple returning in the last few games

Now dust has settled, little reality check for some of the keyboard warriors NCFC have won 11 of their last 15 games (including 7 of their last 9 on the road), they are in a seriously false position, with great squad depth (changed 1/2 outfield team from Good Friday) #Millwall have played Ipswich, Boro away and had to work so hard (especially in defence), is it any surprise Norwich were the better side with more energy? There will be plenty of twists and turns yet, the fact 🦁 are in the mix with clubs that have far bigger budgets etc is an incredible achievement. Let’s remember that Hawthorns here were come…..

You got me, rarely unprofessional, but there is always a time and a place for a Miiiiilll and that was it 💙 #Millwall 🦁

@Tomoneill84 @KaneP1111 32 shots 19 blocks, no way they are all pathetic attempts, Boro will seriously hammer teams at times (QPR, Saints etc) but Millwall have the best defence on the road, it’s not just Boro this side frustrate the life out of BTW - Get a positive result v Ipswich (draw ideally 😉)

@KaneP1111 @Karl_Bates Yeah there was mate. But if you watch them in isolation they’re pathetic attempts. Most of the players have already dived in. Just drop a should and slot it him or make the keeper work.

Just watched remaining minutes of the game after Coburn scored If you ever wanted to see a side dig in & throw bodies on the line with blocks, tackles, headers, take a look 👀 Boro threw the kitchen sink at #Millwall but every time ⚽️ came in the box a 🦁 was on hand Superb

Not a bad view of the goal #millwall 🦁
