Shocking moment football fans call out during Remembrance silence as outrage erupts amid 'disrespectful' scene

Football fans have been slammed for ruining a Remembrance Day silence with vile chants and jeers.

The disgraceful scenes unfolded at the Sky Bet Championship clash between Millwall and Coventry City on Saturday, November 12. As a two-minute silence was held to honor fallen soldiers, a small number of fans could be heard booing and chanting.

The sickening behavior was met with widespread condemnation, with many social media users calling for those responsible to be banned from football.

Millwall FC has since issued a statement condemning the actions of the fans involved and vowed to take action.

"The club is appalled by the behaviour of a small number of individuals who disrupted the Remembrance Day silence yesterday," the statement read.

"This behavior is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated. The club will be working with the relevant authorities to identify those responsible and take appropriate action.

The incident has reignited the debate about the lack of respect shown to the armed forces by some football fans.

In recent years, there have been several high-profile cases of fans booing during Remembrance Day silences or making derogatory remarks about the armed forces.

This behavior has been condemned by veterans' groups and politicians, who have called on football clubs to do more to educate fans about the importance of Remembrance Day.
