Independent Leyton Orient Forum

There was a good turnout & plenty of noise from the drum which can be heard on the highlights.
I had a really good day meeting up with old O's buddies inc Mr B & the game was enjoyable.
The one negative aspect was the group of our idiot fans who insist on singing the East London is wonderful song. It's embarrassing & offensive. What can we do about it?
There is the direct approach of confronting the miscreants but probably not a sensible idea as they might become aggressive. Alternatively, speaking to stewards which will probably achieve little or contacting the club.
One of my group was a woman & I just hoped that she didn't make out the words.
This song needs to be consigned to history.
Any thoughts?

What a sad little life Jane

I thought it was consigned by that Kerrang div about ten years ago?

(Agree though)

A song sung by blokes who more than likely have never ever fondled a pair of tits or had even the slightest sniff of a bit of fanny.

It’s better than putting on a show.

Regrettably not. It lives on, sung usually once a match in order to demonstrate just how frightfully naughty and edgy the ladz are.

I’m using a quote from a tv show to make the point you’re sad.

What next? You going to be offended people eat meat pies at the ground?

Personally don’t think it’s professional for Moncs to be doing that on a match day

East London is wonderful be proud of where your from
It’s not exactly tragedy chanting - get over it chaps far too woke
Young boys being boys - what were we like in 70’s-80’s far worse went on

Proud of it? It was largely a shithole when I was growing up, nothing to be proud of

Not as embarrassing as the pr1ck who threw something at the female steward. Or the other pr1ck who followed it up with a ‘what you looking at, you fat c**t?’ when the stewards understandably tried to work out which pr1ck had thrown the object.

Classy.

Not sure that defence works for the BBC, or us.

Grassing is worse than throwing objects at female stewards and shouting ‘fat c un t’ at them.

How can telling the truth be worse ?

My simple & polte question to you is would you be happy for any of your female relatives inc children to sit at a game & listen to that?
It amuses me that you're one of the boarders who has to be rude to others they disagree with. I wondered if you behaved like that in your life away from the board, as well.

Yes. I wasn’t offended by a girl screaming ‘you’re f*cking sexy, Josh Koroma’ for the whole game next to me a few years ago either. Would you police her language too?

Its laughable how offended you are by a song at a football match.

ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Once again, you're incapable of disagreeing with someone on this Forum in a reasonable way. Do you behave like this when you're speaking with someone face to face? Or do you reserve the rudeness for online?

Not offended by it but anyone still singing that chant in 2024 is a massive pr1ck.

I am offended by the person throwing stuff at the female steward, however.

When you point out that something is offensive, and the perpetrators don't care, you'll never going to win a reasoned argument, I'd just let it go. Some people just see things from their own perspective and not others.

Unfortunately there are a lot of boors about; Bugsy manages to be boring as well. Judging by his nom de guerre, he is pretty youthful ( well he sounds like a petulant teenager, anyway )

I wouldn’t sing it and I can see why someone would find it offensive in 2024 but you’ve used a backhanded misogynistic argument to support your argument.

If your day out is really affected by someone saying ‘tits, fanny and Orient’ then I suggest you go to therapy.
