Independent Leyton Orient Forum

If I were a hilariously under-qualified person writing on an internet message board, masquerading as a football manager, I would simply score more goals than the opposing team.

If I knew the answer to this I'd be a millionaire, so to speak.

Bit of a funereal aesthetic with that vid. I'm all for moody dark tones, but this doesn't exactly radiate joy and optimism. Into them Os!

Feels like our Commercial guys are big fans of "The Smell of Reeves & Mortimer"

Yet to see conclusive evidence of Beckles touching it. Is there any footage from behind the goal? He did - it took about four/five replays from different angles (shown on Sky) before it became visible. So, yes - it was offside. No, it wasn't the biggest travesty of justice since Eve got Adam lobbed...

Unless the linesman had his mobile off last night when the efl tried to call him about making sure orient fail at every opportunity? https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/may/10/leyton-orient-stockport-league-one-playoff-match-report Abysmal biased reporting. No wonder no-one wants to put their...

You asked, he delivered: viewtopic.php?t=15702

I think the only reasonable response is to PANIC

You say Peterborough sell on for a £million+ and discard a lot of signings - difference is we never sign players from non league clubs to sell on let alone for a £million - nothing ventured nothing gained - I trust my opinion on players and he's going to be a good player for them. Marvin Ekpiteta, ...

Blame Richie for taking everyone by surprise.

This is broadly true, but NTT20 is one of the better ones

He left Orient = not LOYAL And now we have caught him up we’re exacting our revenge I know this is firmly tongue in cheek though both Bonne and Koroma stayed loyal to the club and JE when they were offered moves in the January of the NL title season. They both stayed to see it through and we defini...

If we have sold out the 1,100 tickets in under 2 hours, that's immense. If they all sold out online when all the fogeys were queueing up, there’ll be some extraordinary complaining going on on Facebook later. The old duffers queueing this morning could have been after tickets for the home game. The...

Say what you like about the OP, but he certainly makes things happen

There’ll be dancing on the streets of Alexandria tonight.

More “Labour stole my winter fuel allowance” really

Koroma was wonderful here a few years ago, but imo has gone backwards. Has everyone gone mental? He was a non-League player with us. He is now a Championship/L1 player. How can jumping up 2/3 divisions fit with going backwards? He left Orient = not LOYAL And now we have caught him up we’re exacting...

what do you base this on?

The number of players that attended public schools.

How many is that?

Four

Spot on.

He just cant stay fit.

If he could, he’d already have left us.

I reckon if there’s 1,200 available, we should be ok. Need something in place going forward, tho. Should be enough. Spoke to loads of people already who simply say “can’t do it”, due to other commitments. Fair enough. 1,200 midweek we should fill but hopefully not too many left disappointed Agreed....

Chelsea

They can fit 1,354 in the away end. https://www.stockportcounty.com/wp-con ... n-Pack.pdf

With it being a long distance midweek late kick off, no trains home, and televised, competition for tickets might not be quite so intense.

You can tell he’s a rugby player too

And it’s about time he had a chant. Bran-don Coop-er to the “tune” of Dodgy Keeper every time he cleans someone out will do very nicely.

We won 4-1 at Plymouth in 2011 and just missed out on the playoffs by a single point.
