Fans blame each other for violence at the Den

MILLWALL and Liverpool fans have blamed each other for the violence which marred the Carling Cup third-round tie at The New Den.

Lions supporters have denied that chants about the Hillsborough disaster sparked the violence which led to seats being ripped out in the visitors’ section and four supporters - three from Liverpool and one from Millwall - being ejected from the ground.

Millwall’s official supporters group insisted yesterday Liverpool fans must shoulder the blame for the trouble, which the FA said they will officially investigate.
