We are a strange club. Most clubs with a game of this importance would want as many fans there as possible. Not ours, they have refused requests to run any coaches, so a lot of fans will miss out. We also have NO Supporters Cub to arrange anything so I expect only about 150 there on Saturday. With our Chairman, we will get what we deserve
Yeah I don't think I can ever remember another case of a manager pretty much saying to the fans don't bother coming, for a game of such importance. Very strange.

Gary Brabin tried it then wondered why the fans didn’t like him.

I now have a mental image of Martin Allen going round in the dead of night letting down Barnet fans car tyres.

If any team still uses a long throw as a tactic (Orient) - automatically tinpot.

Any set of fans that still go "ooooooo your shit ah" on goal kicks make your club automatically tinpot - Us.

Any club below the Championship that doesn’t hit the ball high out to the wing from the kick off is also tinpot. Greater respect is gained if you hit it out of play.

Long throws aren't tinpot - they're better than a corner!

Agree about the big hoof from kick off though, especially when it goes for a goal kick like ours today. It doesn't make any sense. If someone picked the ball up in the centre circle at any other point in the match, they wouldn't just lump it down the wing for a throw...

We've done it for literally every single kickoff this season.

We have a slight variation of it. Kick off back to the centre half, passes it wide to full back who then hoofs it down the line. People will talk about this in the same breathe as Dutch total football, Brazil 1970 and Spanish tiki taka for years to come.

Now this is special, even for VAR. Half-time whistle goes in Mainz v Freiburg, players go off, then pen to Mainz given for handball on last action of half. Players called back out, De Blasis scores, players go off again.

Honestly, we've had to put up with plenty of shit over the last few years. Being sponsored by something associated with The S*n however might just be a new low. Disgusted. :hb:

Genuinely feel physically sick at the news. Season at my local (even-more-)Non-League club it is.

And one that they’re looking to extend into a long-term partnership, as the CEO helpfully explained to me today. Well. That’s that, then.

Itd be interesting if Orient got a Merseyside club in the FA cup what reception they’d get..
