Must be a first on the Isle Of Dogs...
Can't be that hard to work out who they are. I'd start with the idiot who thought it a good idea to take and publish the video.

Maybe I'm missing something but why anti Pakistani chants or are they just next on their list
But in that video the lovable scamps from the New Den (totally different to the Old Den) can clearly be heard chanting in favour of the Pakistani community and all the benefits they bring to multi cultural Britain.
the chant was I'd rather be a paki than a Scouse aimed at ever to fans ,it was sung by no more than about 30 virtually no one heard it ,its only come to light because a millwall idiot put it on you tube , though as expected the Scousers claimed all 17000 millwall fans sung it forever the victim Scousers, it was childish and stupid but the sort of thing you hear at virtually every football ground in the country
I'd rather be a paki than a Scouse was the chant sung by 30 millwall no more and heard by no more than a couple of hundred , only come to light because 1 recorded on you tube ,silly and childish but no more than that have heard worse just about everywhere else

I believe they were expressing an opinion, through the medium of song and some unfortunate terminology, that they'd rather be from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan than Liverpool.

It's a well trod path. I can remember hearing I'd rather be a Paki than a Turk at numerous games around the time the Leeds fan got stabbed and England were playing them regularly in qualifying competitions.

'Scouse' will no doubt be replaced by 'poof' for the quarter final.
I’d imagine that you are more likely to hear “that sort of thing” at your games than we are.
It will alliterate nicely......

Would the correct riposte quite possibly be "I'd rather be a poofter than a prat"?
As I was told by Millwall lovers on NSC.
“Behave, they’re top boys”.
“Behave, they’re top boys”.
Why was that Millwall fan who put it on Youtube an idiot ? Because it exposed a group of your fans ?
And I am not having a go at Millwall fans on a whole here, as I know what groups of Brighton fans were singing in Luton 10+ years ago...
If he posted the video to expose a group of racist fans then all credit to him. However, I could be wrong, but I suspect that the idiot who posted it thought it was hilarious bantz.
A bit like the Charlton fan who filmed his mate chucking his seat towards the Millwall fans and publishing it online. His mate was promptly identified and arrested.
