Independent Leyton Orient Forum

Look. The play offs have gone. Get used to it.

Cutting edge insight, thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks to Maxxy I cancelled my Sky Sports Subscription as no meaningful Orient matches will be on.
Cheers Maxy ,saved me 15 euro a month.

Nae bother, pal.

Whatever the stadium has planned for itself I strongly suspect it won't involve Little Leyton Orient.

So the Play Offs haven't gone then.
We just won't be involved in them. Surely that's false advertising on the thread title then & opening post?

Don’t give up RW won’t give up until it is impossible. If we win at Blackpool everybody will believe again. Curtains if we lose

Sorry but this thread is reserved for those who strongly suspect that Os participation in the play off, to be staged at Wembley, will not happen.

Can I perhaps direct you to the thread entitled "Hopeless Optimism and Delusional Thinking"

Have always hated the play-off's anyway.
All that stress and diarrhoea for nothing !

As you may have guessed from my absence on virtually any Orient chat over the last few years, I let go a while ago. I’m pretty much restricted to checking the scores after games, and often forget to even do that sometimes. Can’t be doing with streaming tinpot lower league soccer either. Every now and then I get an urge to go to a game - more because I miss the social side of things rather than the actual football, if I’m honest - but the feeling soon passes.

Then you my friend are tired of life itself. Act on your urge to go to a game. You won't regret it.

What do you do instead?

I’m at the western end of the known world…Pembrokeshire. Hats off to all the Exiles and long distance fans who make an effort to either go to games or watch/listen at home, but I just can’t be arsed beyond checking results/reading brief match reports these days.

Mostly I potter around the garden and walk the dog, and am happy with my lot. Spectating-wise I do pop over Haverfordwest County - owned by an O’s fans, as it happens - who are in the Cymru Premier every now and then, but I can’t get too excited by the club or the equivalent of step 2/3 soccer where there is a doped team with few fans FROM ENGLAND (The New Saints of Oswestry) winning nearly every bloody year. And the occasional bit of eggball down here, from local sides to the Scarlets in Llanelli, who play in that stupid multi-country league that has stuffed the Welsh Club pyramid.
