Alex Neil says stoppage against Swansea only “disrupted the rhythm”

“It only disrupted the rhythm”: Millwall manager Alex Neil expressed his frustration after the match against Swansea was stopped on Tuesday. Millwall ended the game with a 0-1 defeat. Neil said he did not understand the decision to halt play, adding: “Stopping the match solves nothing.”

The stoppage followed potentially racist abuse aimed at a Swansea player from the stands. At the 10th round of the Championship, Millwall supporters allegedly directed racist insults at South Korean winger Ji-sung Eom. The incident risks adding to Millwall’s reputation as England’s most hated club.

The club quickly responded with a statement reiterating that it applies “a zero-tolerance policy” to all forms of discrimination. The episode highlights the contrast between Neil’s criticism of the interruption’s effect on the game and the club’s response to the reported abuse.
