Hilarious! What about this one

I suddenly remember, I still bear the scars ( mental) of this away day, in the early 2000's. My stepson & I were about 30 minutes away from leaving for Chesterfield. Our foster daughter was finishing her bath. The plumber doing our new bathroom, had failed to connect the overflow connecting pipe and it was dangling down loose. When she emptied the bath, 30% of the bath's content poured on to the ceiling of our front room. Chaos followed. We could only do a minimum of clearing up. Leaving the bulk, to my moaning ex-wife.
We just made kick off in time, witnessed a 4-1 drubbing and got showered by coins. It leaves a nasty taste even now. If any of our players or people who know our players, read this Board, it is imperative that this Black Hole of the Club's history is avenged. I am just plain too old to sit out in the cold, to see karma being dished out in buckets. I plea to all the staff at Orient & all fans who go. Do the business, send this sh-t show of a football club out of the FA Cup. I will be there in spirit.

Chesterfield fans chucking money at you to pay for repairs and you show no gratitude..#### off then you southern %%%%...apologies did not realise it was off their board

I see, cheers for that.

Don't recall it from my 'O' level English days. Oh well. Not sure the 'without provocation' bit is applicable in this case though.

Honestly, chill out it’s all a laugh. Truce.

I recall many years ago ( the exact year escapes me) the Football League announced that if the goalkeeper came out of his area and fouled an attacking player it was to be an automatic red card.
Mervyn Day was in goal for Orient at Saltergate the first game after the announcement and did exactly that and the Ref bottled it and only booked him.

I remember it well Dave. I think it was one of the first if not the first home game of that season. As I recall that incident took place at the Cross Street end. I was stood near the halfway line on the Compton Street and I couldn't believe it when the ref only pulled out a yellow card and not red.

Edit,
I've just done a little research Dave and it looks like that game was played on the 28th of August 1982. We lost 2-1 . Robbed once again by an incompetent referee!

Tv games announced and it’s not one of them

[JonB]

Are they doing that thing where they have a number of games on the Sunday so they can show action as it happens?

I see they couldn’t get away from not having Wrexham on for too long…..

Not like us to be slow at announcements...

[JonB]

We’ve put it out on social media half an hour ago.

[Exharboroughspireite]

Urgh.

[spireitetoo]

Does that mean we're one the live highlighted games ?? Where they show the goals as they go in, think we were on a 2pm slot a few yrs back, and recieved some money for it?,

I’m guessing Alfreton v Walsall on Saturday lunchtime played a part in this. Might go along to that now too.
