I’ll start:

Isn’t that the same bloke who got arrested for abusing a Colchester United player a few years back?

Seems a strange joyful experience to list but I’m not here to judge.
I didn’t say that a bloke getting arrested on suspicion of racially abusing a Colchester United player was a “joyful experience”, I was merely checking if we were thinking about the same person. I believe we are.
Okay, feel like you’ve taken this too seriously. I thought it would be a lighthearted bit of fun to deliberately misunderstand your mention of this incident on a thread that’s intended to be about nostalgic or wholesome aspects of a day out down the O’s.

Not sure why the incident was brought up mind, I just like hearing the catchphrase about the fanzine as I enter the ground.

You’re not sure why an incident when a blokes abusive behaviour was so bad he got arrested is bought up when you start a thread telling everyone how listening to said bloke wander around the ground bellowing at people is part of a jolly match experience?

Seeing as you bought this up, why does the club give a bloke free rein to wander all corners of the ground to sell an unofficial publication? What’s all that about? Seems a bit amateur hour to me.

Something to fire an email over to our award winning CEO about maybe.

I think he will reply to say they do it to bother people who don’t have the capacity to enjoy anything.

Give him a break. We all make mistakes. Some make typos when writing out peoples names, others get so worked up at football matches that their generic verbal abuse gets interpreted as racial abuse.

We’re all human.

I agree, always flawed. Some people hear a man advertise his fanzine and the sentence becomes a staple of their experience at a football club and they then become interested in hearing what sort of things other people hear/see/smell/feel that are synonymous with their O’s experience.

Others hijack that thread as a means to shoehorn a personal grudge against someone into conversation, even after a great day out at said club.

There was no racist abuse. Fans around Mr R***r confirmed this to the club including several black fans.

It’s annoying when you try to do something and somebody else is disruptive. A bit like going to watch a football match and some bloke near you is so abusive he gets himself arrested.

When you put it like that I see your angle. It’s hard because you’ve only had 3 years to let it go.
