Heh. He's hardly going to damage our international brand. For me he's 100% pure entertainment. Especially when the club has to engage with him. I've been at some games when I've spent more time watching that section of the West Stand than anything on the pitch.

Re: Club announcement re Racist comments
You can laugh about our international brand being damaged. I’m sure it’ll have no impact on our 2022 Denver soccer camps.
But it’s possible a local family thinking about popping along to a game won’t now bother after seeing in the local news how an orient fan was arrested for racial abuse.

Re: Club announcement re Racist comments
A few fans on Twitter saying how theyre 'ashamed' of the club etc or thinking Macklin should apologize for some reason. Just so so odd.

Is this like how the guy that Cantona kung-fu kicked claimed he shouted "Off off off, it's time you had an early shower".

Whilst the OFF smokescreen has been activated were there any other life time bans handed out under its cover?

Seriously, he’s a weapons grade embarrassment to the club and the sooner he’s f*cked off, the better.
He is an O's fan after all.

Could we not just get him to do it at special one-OFF games that come with content warnings?
"Upon purchase of this special match-OFF ticket you acknowledge that the game will contain, but not necessarily be limited to, disproportionate overacting, offensive language and gestures, deranged lunatic rantings, homophones slurs and (possibly) alledged racist abuse.
Leyton Orient cannot guarantee that all of the above will be on display for spectator entertainment, such as when you go on a trip to see the Northern Lights, so no refunds will be offered should you-know-who have an OFF day."
I'm just trying to think outside the box and find a win-win is all.

I've only read it quickly but is he saying the player involved has made 3 allegations this season?
Also don't get the bit about Col U not backing their player - I thought they were first out of the blocks condemning what had allegedly happened?
Stopped reading after those glaring mistakes from a Non expert like off .

I see GDH5 on that thread moaning about the MB again. Suppose it saves him coming here and telling us sh*t the place is like he used to.Smendrick Feaselberg wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 9:53 pmIs this like how the guy that Cantona kung-fu kicked claimed he shouted "Off off off, it's time you had an early shower".
Bit rich though from the person who spent years on here mainly talking to himself via untold alias’s.

Re: Club announcement re Racist comments
No. It’s just pointing out hypocrisy. Doug is chairman of Loft but is quite happy to take a dig at a social media platform that has been used by Orient fans for 20+ years. I suspect the problem is people on here historically had the temerity to question Loft, particularly on the subject of Mat Ropers involvement and rather than take on board people’s concerns, it’s easier for them to just dismiss this place.
Bit like over on Mungos where there’s a continued air of superiority and regular reference to how this place is a cesspit of filth and bad behaviour.
Mungo shut his place down last week for a few hours as it was all getting a bit negative and unpleasant for him. Fair enough. But what’s this? Mungos now telling his followers how he logs on over here to wind up Tuffers who’s past difficulties are not a secret. I’ve no feud with that lot there despite living rent free in some of their heads - they just don’t like it when I point out the glaring hypocrisy in their nonsense.
I’ve no idea if Mungo really comes over here or not. One things for sure, on the rare occasions I put my head over the parapet there to put someone right on something they’re unsure of, I don’t sot behind an alias.
So no, it’s not feuding from my perspective. Feuds are boring. Pointing out inconsistencies from those presenting themselves in a falsely superior than thou way is something I’m happy to take on.
