Millwall boss Neil Harris still moaning about West Brom controversy almost five months on
Millwall head coach Neil Harris is still unhappy about a West Brom penalty almost five months on since it happened.
On March 29, the Baggies secured a point at The Den thanks to a John Swift spot kick, won by Grady Diangana.
There were no complaints from the Lions’ defenders at the time but speaking ahead of the season, transcribed by Richard Cawley (9 August), Harris showed that he is still annoyed by the decision.
He said: “I think we’ll be feared as an opponent on the back of five wins and a draw in the last six games.
“And, let’s be honest, West Brom got bloody lucky with a point – it was a dubious penalty.”
Neil Harris still moaning about West Brom
The Baggies don’t play Millwall until October but there is bound to be an added edge to the clash after the comments from Harris.
His statement is bizarre given how little protest there was from his players in the moments before Swift dispatched the penalty.
Diangana turned on the ball inside the area and left back, Joe Bryan swiped the winger’s legs away for what looks like a stonewall foul.
The defender put his hands to his head after the spot kick was given which sums up that he wasn’t surprised by the decision.
With that being said, his manager is still going on about the moment five months later in a strange swipe at the Baggies.
The Championship season is fast approaching which will give Carlos Corberan’s side to get one up on the Millwall boss once again.
Who knows what Harris might find to moan about after the game in October?
