Independent Leyton Orient Forum

Absolute epidemic of people moving next to or near a venue that puts events on and then complaining about it. It's killing late night venues in London and has gotten particularly bad post COVID where for a short while complete silence was the norm. Our licensing and planning systems are geared towa...

'During the four months at the end of the season [January through April], the noise is so extreme it makes our homes almost unbearable to live in.'

One visit to a Tuesday night game will show they might have slightly overstated their case.

'Contested' is certainly one way of putting invasion, occupation and ethnic cleansing.

The chutzpah of the right wing media and Tories complaining about British farming being killed after advocating for - withdrawal from the EU, making the export of food more expensive and cumbersome for our main export market, and subsequent the loss of farm subsidies - signing of free trade deals wi...

Looking at these appointments of oddballs and a rapist to high office one can't help thinking the Trumpets want the state to be publicly discredited and to fail. I wonder what comes next? They're trying some shenanigans around getting these batshit appointments passed without senate approval as the...

Tin foil hat nut RFK jr as health secretary. Insane times. Welcome back all the big virus’ that kill kids that we’ve managed to quash with scientific breakthrough over the last hundred years Russell Brand seems quite chuffed about his appointment Wait til Russ hears about Trumps Attorney General ap...

It's all gone quiet on Trump's amazing win . Wins the election , all seven swing states, the Senate and popular vote . All I can hear on here at the moment is crickets. The group of sycophants, grifters and quacks he's nominating for senior positions is doing anything to persuade people that it's g...

Trump appointing a pro Russian Director of National Intelligence, who's regularly peddled anti Ukraine conspiracies, not boding well for Zelensky. He's also appointing an Attorney General who is an out and out racist and has spent the last few years being investigated for sex trafficking of a minor....

Astonished that as many as 200 away fans went to this one. Basically reserve team football.

He just prefers men’s voices to women’s voices, so what? Personally, as a straight male, I much prefer women’s voices and am happy to state that on here. I don’t see the issue with someone coming out with the opposite. Was asking out of genuine curiosity. It took me maybe a couple of matches to get...

I bet a woman replaces him which means I will again have to scroll forward over the chat like I do with Lineker. Fair play for admitting out loud that, regardless of what she might actually say or whether she's any good at her job, you'd fully commit to ignoring a woman simply because she's a woman...

Doesn't even need a presenter as we saw during his absence. Just have the titles before each game and save a couple of million. Idk, that was really sh*t and kind of underlined the importance of having people actually working on the show. Can't think of a single good candidate to replace Lineker, b...

Why would Birmingham away be moved to a Tuesday?

What I don't understand about the moving of kick off times to accommodate sky is that it makes a mockery of the idea of a 3pm blackout being in place to preserve lower league attendances. If you were being a bit conspiratorial, you could see this as sky beginning to make the argument that they shoul...

The payback period on them is supposed to be under 5 years, we won't move for another ten years minimum.

Have to say Blackpool were absolutely rubbish. Conceded a variation of the same goal 3 times.

O'Neill and Agyei looked more like last seasons versions of themselves, if they can keep at that form we will get goals and be fine.

Been the better side without creating that many clear cut chances. Midfield have been solid, Agyei best I've seen him for a while and Currie doing well on the flank. Having barely seen Perkins so far this season, he's looked ok on the right and got into the right position for the goal, which is some...

Brilliant from Agyei, worked a pretty dead cause really well.

Blackpool look absolute dross. We've been better without creating clear cut chances. 1-0 defeat written all over it.

Also booed the minutes silence for the people that died in Valencia from the floods. Sounds like a sh*t show all round.

Am I right in thinking the sky deal has resulted in one early kick off at home in the first half of the season? Think there's definitely an argument that the threshold needs to be higher for international call ups justifying a postponement request. 3 feels very low. And they need to work out the fix...

Season ticket sales ended before the fixture list was published. If this was their tactic they wouldn't have capped season ticket sales. Also not guaranteed we would lose 4. Plenty of games in league 1 have gone ahead despite international break. Last two games have sounded like they were postponed ...

I don't really understand what the club is supposed to have done about the international breaks. They are set by FIFA. The efl have to work with that schedule. Our return game against Mansfield is the next international break we'd possibly end up postponing, so essentially we are losing one more hom...

For the older boarders and politics/history aficionados on the board. Better comeback than Nixon? Yes. It's incredible. This clip shows how the political establishment tried to mock and humiliate him. The condescending smugness of Obama now makes him look ridiculous in retrospect. We can agree that...
