Millwall boss Neil Harris not expecting further punishment for assistant David Livermore

By Richard Cawley

Millwall manager Neil Harris is not expecting assistant David Livermore to face any further punishment after he was ordered to the stand in Saturday’s 4-3 win at Leeds United.

The two benches had a heated exchange after Liam Cooper’s late tackle on George Saville – the former being shown a straight red card.

Livermore and Leeds coach Paul Butler were both asked to step out of their respective technical areas by referee David Coote.

“The melee was the exciting part – the altercation between David and their assistant was nothing at all,” said Harris.

“I’ll be absolutely amazed if it is anything other than that they were told to get out of the dugout on the day.

“It was just emotions running high in a hotly-contested game played in a cauldron of an atmosphere. After a bad tackle everybody got a little bit excited.

“But everyone shook hands at the time and we went and had a drink afterwards. There was nothing festering.

“I’ll be very surprised if anything comes of it.”
