Agreed with others, nasty stupid thread which Gilso has handled superbly.

Re: GILSON SACKED AS COMMENTATOR?
They were often (unintentionally) hilarious. Porter was like a young Alan Partridge, you'd never have guessed he would go on to achieve what he has.
Still wonder whatever happened to Andy Onecoat.

Re: GILSON SACKED AS COMMENTATOR?
I will bite George (Max). As someone who has access to my Facebook etc you know who my 'true self' is. Whether you agreed with it or not the 'TTM ' character was an Alf Garnett character made up to wind up the extreme left on this board. Admittedly it was one that went too far sometimes . It was killed off over 3 years ago and I have posted as myself ever since.Max B Gold wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 10:52 amIndeed he has. It would have been all too easy to revert to TTM mode now that there is no need to hide his true self after the club gave him the heave ho.CreamofSumYungGai wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2019 7:59 pmNo disrespect to anyone but did you never hear Buono and Porter on Orient World back in the day?

Now I am not doing the comms next season, those who don't like me or my style will be pleased , can we not just leave it alone now ? We've lost a great manager, the club is in mourning and frankly page after page of this is both embarrassing and unnecessary.
Thanks. If the administration feel like locking this thread it might be a good idea.

Re: GILSON SACKED AS COMMENTATOR?
Ok Gilso I will cut you some slack here but only because you have acknowledged the folly of the TTM persona.
His name will never be mentioned again and btw I didnt need the moral blackmail bit you tacked on at the end to make this decision.

Thanks Max. Not intended to be ' moral blackmail' , just the reality of the current situation. Thanks.

Re: GILSON SACKED AS COMMENTATOR?
'Disgrace'? Get a grip. I've enquired whether someone is still working for the club or not.
Save your outrage for the people who put old Gilson out to pasture.

Mostly harmless fun and not to be taken too seriously I would have thought. Much like digs us boarders share out and get in return (I get my share). Perhaps I am less sensitive to this stuff. I certainly hope my pops at others are not taken too seriously, I rarely get offended when someone takes a pot shot at me.

Re: GILSON SACKED AS COMMENTATOR?
Because he's saying that his previous username was just a 'character'. So you have to wonder if things his 'character' banged on about really happened.Thor wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 2:58 pmFunny enough I do remember it.

Re: GILSON SACKED AS COMMENTATOR?
Calling out a flounce, of a grown man that has just been told not to speculate here about the replacement of our dearly departed manager 3 days after his passing? Yeah I can live with that.
I won't comment about this anymore, other than to say this past week has shown the best of O's fans and also the worst. Not naming names, but for an example was the chap on Twitter that suggested the club put out season ticket prices when they did to hide the news of increases. Shameful.
