Agree lord it's what makes life interesting! My miserable old bag of a wife thinks one thing and I another too!

[QUOTE=chevyfire;1190026]Last night was brilliant. So pleased for Sean McConville after the stick he has had in the past. He has been better this season, his set piece delivery is now worth his place in the team alone.[QUOTE

'Friends, Romans, Stanleyfans!
I come to praise McConville, not to bury him'

Without doubt our most improved player of late.
Some of his touches last night were Messi'esque and the two goals simply superb.
The chants of 'Shoot' every time he got the ball, even in our own half, were worth the admission price alone.
Laugh? I nearly wet myself!

[QUOTE=Lord Stiffupperlip;1190031]I must say he was excellent last night

Re: Orient match thread
 

What a great game it was,and Orient played their part for twenty minutes.
Hunty going off was a blow to them,but it was only time before our tempo paid off.
On a tricky surface,some of our passing and movement was top drawer and Pearson seems to set the tempo.
Pressing,heading,overlapping,tackles,passing and scoring goals,he really is turning into a beast of a player.
He's a perfect foil for Sean, and both read each other's decision making.
Play offs ??, possibly as we look solid as well

I believe so. Matching the 06/07 5-0 tonking of Wrexham.

its not just fans its managers too.

Re: Orient match thread
 

Has anyone heard any news about the Orient bucket collection on Tuesday night?
There doesn't appear to be any confirmation on their forum.
Would be nice to know what, if anything, they managed to raise?

Re: Orient match thread
 

Lord Stiff - there are more questions than answers.

I've been wondering what Bumble's birthday buns were like and whether anyone was braver than I and stepped forward and grabbed one?

Re: Orient match thread
 

Sure on Twitter it said they'd raised £209

Re: Orient match thread
 

That equates to only 19 pence from every Stanley fan present. :confused:
Didn't see anyone collecting outside the Clayton end & had to pass my donation to our Stanley/Orient fan in the Crown after the game.
Hope he didn't spend it on beer!!!!! :eek:

Re: Orient match thread
 

I didn't see any buckets either.

Here's the more modern, newfangled way though - https://www.gofundme.com/saveorient

Re: Orient match thread
 

Part of that was Dan jewells match fee aswell

Re: Orient match thread
 

209.77 raised altogether

Re: Orient match thread
 

I would have chucked in as well, but didnt see buckets at The Crown or Clayton End :-(

Re: Orient match thread
 

Rob; that was the issue when they turned up without a plan at 4-30pm the day before to ask if they could collect.

ASFC sorted the buckets and made the suggestions as where to position themselves

As others have said they need to get go in big numbers to the London's PL stadiums with sufficient notice, right H&S and good publicity. Then they might raise a decent amount
