Kick It Out has criticised Millwall boss Alex Neil for complaining that a stoppage over alleged racist abuse during Tuesday's defeat to Swansea "killed the momentum."
- Referee Edward Duckworth paused the Championship match for about seven minutes in the 65th minute following alleged racist chants aimed at Swansea's Eom Ji-sung.
- Neil said he did not see the point in stopping the game, insisting it only "kills the momentum."
- Kick It Out said player welfare should always take precedence over match momentum or flow.
- Millwall said it operates a zero-tolerance policy towards discriminatory abuse, as Swansea won 1-0 through a late Ronald goal.
