Orient are a stand up piece of London football history. They may never of mixed with the "big boys" on a regular basis, and i am sketchy on their history, but if i looked into it closely enough, i suspect i'd find that they have a similar story board to most clubs of their historic stature.
They would of been owned, shafted, and fucked around with by idiots, con men and idiotic con men. They would of skirted that fine line between success, the chance of a flirtation with the promised land. They would of been 20 minutes from annihilation. Supported by good people, led on and let down by bad people in equal measure.
I wish them the best of luck and without seeming too disingenuous, i hope we do not play them in the league for some time.
In their defense, I would have been absolutely livid with that ridiculous delay from the ref had we been 1-0 down.
I was livid at 1-0 up. Levels of stress went through the roof thinking about injury time. I guessed 13 mins, so thankfully 11 wasn't too bad.
Yep, I was cursing the ref on the match thread, but at least we had the commentators explaining what the hell was going on.
Spent about 5 minutes asking everyone around us if they knew what was going on. Mate had sky app on his mobile and worked out the ref had the comms issue.
Ironic really poor comms over a Comms issue 😄
Heard from on high, up on the 5th level during the impasse:
"Are we there yet" "The ref's being subbed" "Sky TV want to show adverts" "I blame the Russians" "It's good to talk" "This is Bollocks" "Shit happens" "This is good for Charlton" "The players look so Small, especially Thierry!" "The ref is one of our own" "I wandered lonely as a cloud" "We are so near yet so far from the promised land" "Talk Talk"
