So where are we at the moment? Another airstrike kills at least 30 people in North Gaza. The Pope has called for an investigation into whether Israel is committing genocide. 44,000 people, mainly women & children, have been killed in Gaza. Gaza has been sealed off for 13 months, ignoring the Int...

That reminds me of yonks ago being 4-1 up against Hull with about 10 m ins to go and losing 5-4. Goalkeeper was Rhys Wilmot, who was IMO responsible for those 4 late goals. And he went on to occasionally keep for Arsenal in the then 1st Division. And of course don't forget the 80's game away at Scu...

I'm delighted with our win & even better it was my first home game this season. Met up with some old friends. A great day at the end of a bad week for planet earth. Sure, there are things we need to improve but we moved the ball quicker & created a good many chances & put away 3 of them....

What has particularly struck me is the horror and shock felt by many at the election of Trump, both in the US and here. I’ve heard people at work saying how upset they are and that they could not believe he could have got elected again. The only conclusion I can come to is that is because they are ...

Considering it was a good days work and a professional performance for 60 mins, we’ve once again somehow managed to turn this into a real low point for the club

Sadly accurate.

At the risk of sounding dumb, how would we know the budget of other clubs? Surely this is commercially sensitive information. I get we might find out afterwards when reporting is complete, but not beforehand. What am I missing? Very good question, save that one for the next Q&A would be interes...

I find myself for the first time wondering about how long Richie should stay. If its right that he can't motivate the players & if he is unable to mix up tactics & not rely on pointless possession football then someone else has to come in. As things stand, regardless of Tues, we will be rele...

Well done lads, good bounce back from Saturday

That sounded pretty bad. We can't score goals, we miss chances & is it right that not 1 shot on target in the second half? Plus we will concede at some stage. As people say, possession is pointless, literally. It's very early days admittedly but have no doubt we look like we're in real trouble. ...

Well done boys, an away win & a clean sheet. What a contrast to the team I saw at Shrewsbury.
Having an IPA to celebrate.

Unfortunately, my first game of the season. We had about 450 fans who were really let down by the team. I have to say that it wasn't looking good in the first 10 mins or so, we were scrappy & disjointed. Shrewsbury took their 1 main chance in the first half & whilst we dominated possession, ...

I've been really busy at work & not unusually for me left it until a day or two before today's deadline to renew my ST. I tried to renew online but it wouldn't recognise my card. I emailed Lindsey this afternoon who sorted it for me & by this evening had an email confirming my purchase. I ha...

ComeOnYouOs Has been antisemitic in this thread. Has he? It would be helpful if you could point this out - neither agreeing or disagreeing with you but if you highlight his alleged anti-Semitic comments then we can make our own minds up. However, none of this detracts from VeganO’s post above in an...

There’s a ceasefire on the table now and has been for a while Hopefully Hamas take it so we can see a long cessation in fighting and the return of most of the hostages Could you please try to install this way of thinking into the head of ComeOnYouOs and try to end his votriolic condemnation of a so...

I’m using a quote from a tv show to make the point you’re sad. What next? You going to be offended people eat meat pies at the ground? My simple & polte question to you is would you be happy for any of your female relatives inc children to sit at a game & listen to that? It amuses me that y...

Cheers

There was a good turnout & plenty of noise from the drum which can be heard on the highlights. I had a really good day meeting up with old O's buddies inc Mr B & the game was enjoyable. The one negative aspect was the group of our idiot fans who insist on singing the East London is wonderful...

As the season draws to a close it is an appropriate point to thank the moderator & admin of this board. LSN - much like EFL officials he has an impossible job keeping peace in a sometimes heated and chaotic environment *that I help create* He does an admirable job keeping law and order on here ...

Just goes to show nothing satiates greed. The way Hearn Sr cut LOFC out of any future ground profit by selling it to himself at cost price while the club was at risk of going under shows his true colours. Unfortunately some people still fall for the showman act and fake smile and ignore the rest......

Well done boys, we didn't expect that.
1 more goal than I thought we'd get & a clean sheet.
A good bounce back from 3 disappointing results.
Happy Saturday all.

I, too had the pleasure of watching Stan at Brisbane Rd in season 80/81. I particularly remember a 4-0 drubbing of Preston in October. Stan was sublime in that match & although we were a 2nd tier team, he looked too good for us. We were lucky to have him. The attendance was just over 4,000 which...

Morning everybody from a grey Cardiff. After the excitement & drama on Tues, the players should be confident & in good spirits although hopefully a little less generous at the back. A game we have to win if we want to keep challenging for a top 6 place. I still say that we won't do it mainly...
