New signing - Jack Simpson

[The Reverend]

You'll be pleased to hear that Pandamonium views as well.

Is it really such a big shock that a bloke who was once arrested on suspicion of racially abusing a Colchester United player is adopting the “move on” stance?

Hmm. Not sure "move on" is quite the same as "second chance".

[Proposition Joe]

Yeah, I know social media is an often unreliable barometer but Cardiff fans seem to a man to a) absolutely hate him and b) think he's sh*t. Not seen a single conciliatory message wishing him well or whatever. Will certainly be interesting to see him in action, assuming that happens.

They are just thick idiots that hate the English. They can hardly be moralistic. Grubby Cardiff tried to get out of paying the transfer fee to Nantes for Sala who died in the plane crash.

What a silly post.

You should remember that although in 2022, a SuperFan was sent to prison by the Metropolitan Police, it was for a crime he did not commit. This SuperFan was released from the maximum security stockade without charge.

I will refer you to the discussion about Ched Evans on this very thread.

John Mackie was in trouble for a racist remark before he came to us

[Top of the JES]

Omar Beckles is behind the signing, spoke to him before he signed and has said he looks decent in training and deserving of a second chance, I value Omar’s opinion far more than others on here it’s much more relevant than most on here.

We've obviously got a fan base who have never done anything wrong in their lives, squeaky clean bunch.

[Mistadobalina]

The onus is obviously on Simpson to show he is genuinely remorseful. Omozusi and Otto both did incredible work after their f*ck ups to atone for what they did, with the former doing the f*cking up whilst he was actually at the club, and you'd hope Simpson will do the same.

It's one of those where he could go on to become a widely respected anti racism campaigner, in which case some people on this thread will look like idiots for how moralistic they've been, or he goes on to show no capacity for certain atonement or growth, in which others (including Wellens and club management) look like idiots. Only time will tell.

[CEB]

Dreading the day when he’s become a widely respected anti racism campaigner and this thread bites me on the arse.

It’ll be especially embarrassing for me when you point out, once he’s an established anti racism campaigner, that the anti racist stuff he does somehow doesn’t involve… er… being against racism, like what some of us have been here.

“You anti racists will be well embarrassed about being anti racist if this racist ends up being against racism!”

Dearie me.

I've ordered a shirt with his name on it.

Exactly. I trust Omar’s judgment on this more than others as well. Well , Simpson is an Orient player now so I hope he turns out to be a good player for us and not as sh*t as the Cardiff fans are seeming to be saying.

Club are selling white cloaks and hoods

Simpson has signed end off, get on with it.

Orient sign a racist player, yet I’m the one who should have ‘class’ alright

Hope none of you were chanting negative stuff at Jack Diamond recently after he was cleared of rape.

In all my years I have heard people be called a fat silly sausage, a thin silly sausage, a tall silly sausage, a short silly sausage, a smelly silly sausage, a stupid silly sausage, a daft silly sausage, an ugly silly sausage, a lucky silly sausage, a black silly sausage, a white silly sausage, an asian silly sausage, a useless silly sausage, a dirty silly sausage, a crafty silly sausage, to name just a few.

I don’t recall any of those people being unable to earn a living for six months.

I don’t condone it in anyway but bloody hell. Let’s give the lad a second chance. Welcome to The O’s Jack!

I sincerely and genuinely hope your next post goes better for you. I’m filled with a sense of optimism because try as I might, I can’t think of a way you could follow it up with a worse one

Again the select few trying to belittle fellow boarders because they don’t agree with their point of view. It’s incredibly childish and new age I believe but ever so boring and predictable. As discussed before it’s ok to disagree but why the need to always play the man. I would suggest a genuine sense of insecurity.
