Although Matt is loud I'd be very surprised if he did use racist language.Chief crazy horse wrote: ↑Sat Feb 05, 2022 6:30 pm Yes. Although he was giving it some to the away bench, I never heard anything racist, and I sit reasonably close to him. The crowd were having a go at one of the Colchester staff who they were saying made a false accusation.

Like it's not happened beforeCheshunto wrote: ↑Sun Feb 06, 2022 10:51 pm I have been sitting in the next block to Matt for some years now and couldn’t understand how he got away with the abuse he used to dish out at either the Ref or the opposition bench / subs.
He used to actually leave his seat and walk right up to the opposition bench ‘ venting his spleen’ at whoever upset him on that particular day. How he got away with that sort of behaviour for so long, I really don’t know, but I often thought and commented that it didn’t reflect well on Leyton Orient FC and our fans.
In recent times he shouts the abuse from his seat.
I couldn’t hear on Saturday what he was shouting but I doubt it was anything racial and many fans sitting nearby are backing him on this. He is an idiot but I wouldn’t have said he was a racist.
The Colchester player had been quite ‘abrasive’ during the game and was trying to wind up the fans and unfortunately he succeeded with Mat bringing unwanted press on our club.

As I say, he used to walk right up to the away bench and hurl abuse, many of us on here witnessed this I’m sure.
Nowadays he does it from his seat and most people laugh, finding it amusing but really the stewards should have told him to calm down years ago, but nobody did anything, and now we have this.
Nobody comes out of this with any credit and it’s LOFC that suffers the bad press.

But arent they the guys Gilson has on his radio show?slacker wrote: ↑Mon Feb 07, 2022 9:25 am I think Wumble is probably referring to that enlightened bunch that still use the Orient Transit Firm moniker. OTF1881 is ‘their’ Twitter handle.
As for OFF, I’m glad (and not surprised) he’s not been charged with any offence. But as others have noted, he’s been loudly berating oppo benches and officials from the West Stand for yonks. Matt Porter had a few stern words with him back when he was CEO, but it never seems to sink in for long before the ‘passion’ overwhelms him again. The simple solution - for Mat and the Club - is move him to the South or East Stand, where he can bellow to his heart’s content…

Before the West stand was rebuilt Matt used to sit in the East stand near the old Directors box .slacker wrote: ↑Mon Feb 07, 2022 9:25 am I think Wumble is probably referring to that enlightened bunch that still use the Orient Transit Firm moniker. OTF1881 is ‘their’ Twitter handle.

Bollocks to that. He used to sit in he south stand where he was a massive pain in the arse, my brother once threatened to lay him out during one game. I don’t want him anywhere near me again. He’s a compete embarrassment.slacker wrote: ↑Mon Feb 07, 2022 9:25 am I think Wumble is probably referring to that enlightened bunch that still use the Orient Transit Firm moniker.
