Professor Rogan Taylor, head of the Football Research Unit at the University of Liverpool, believes the trouble was undoubtedly related to provocative chanting. EVEN THOUGH HE WASN'T THERE! Typical. He said: "It is unusual to see that level of violence inside a football stadium these days.

"It was clearly related to the shenanigans of the previous week and the column in the Spectator and the desire of perhaps a handful of Millwall supporters to rile the Liverpool support as much as possible.

"I think it's an example of how the wafflings of an ill-informed fool can help to trigger disorder.

"I was not there on Tuesday so do not know the truth but you have to look at the provocation," he said.

"There are things that people find it very difficult to control themselves over."

So there you go. More well informed comment from a Scouser who wasn't even at the game!
