The aftershocks of last weekend’s League Two grudge match continued on Thursday when an AFC Wimbledon player was charged by the Football Association over accusations he spent the warm-up deliberately kicking balls at MK Dons fans.
Enmity between Wimbledon and the team who had that name before leaving south London for Buckinghamshire in 2002 has endured for more than two decades. It fuels a rivalry that led to a fiercely contested match at Plough Lane last Saturday. With six yellow cards on each side, the match was decided by a dramatic winner for AFC Wimbledon in added time. Celebrations, however, were followed by a brawl and both sides were charged by the FA on Wednesday with failing to control their players.
