Awkward moment Millwall's Flemming told to 'watch language' after swearing on TV

MILLWALL match-winner Zian Flemming was warned about his language live on TV after swearing.

The Dutch midfielder even asked "Can I not say that?" after he was reprimanded by a Sky Sports reporter for saying "s***".

Flemming seemed unfazed as he continued to smile during the interview - amid laughter in the background.

That's partly because he was in buoyant mood as the Lions had climbed back into the Championship play-off zone with a 3-2 win at Blackpool.

Victory lifted Millwall two places to fifth but confirmed relegation for the Tangerines.

Flemming started to say in the post-match chat: "When you've had such a s*** record..."

He was immediately told: "Careful with the language, please."

The 24-year-old responded with: "Can I not say that..?"

His interviewer then not only confirmed he could not do so but added: "POOR record, I think you can get away with."

One bemused fan posted: "Championship - always delivers."

Flemming's 75th minute penalty had finally seen off the Seagulls in a thriller.

Tom Bradshaw twice put Millwall in front but Blackpool levellers came via a Jerry Yates spot-kick and Lewis Fiorini's incredible long-ranger.

Flemming then won it from the spot... before getting in his spot of bother off the pitch.
