[Football] Just dropping by to say hello from WATFORD O

[sparra]

Aren't we all. It was 20 years ago

True dat

 

[sparra]

Definitely not. Cannot be 100% certain it was at Orient but it made the tv in the sports news at the time. I don’t think the fan went willingly which didn’t help

The other thing I remember clearly was the Orient striker Richardson scoring (may have been a hatrick) and cupping his ear whilst running the full length of the pitch in front of the Albion fans who had taken up one side of the ground.

Made me laugh, although it shouldn’t have

At the time just about every taxi I took in London seemed to be driven by an Orient fan

Bueno (?) and his hilarious playlist - YMCA etc. Now he was a bitter ****

Id forgotten about the playlist. Back then it was no more than banter. Worse gets said in a football ground. Now he’d be cancelled! Rightly? this sort of thing is now in the dustbin

Thanks and welcome back to 'I am so don' Watford O.

Orient away was always memorable.

Unsanitised, authentic football fan experiences of a different time that left their mark.

It made me smile that you remembered the ‘i am so don’!!

20 years ago I was older & calmer. Ok, at least calmer.

not quite "clashing with linos flag" but Mr Nickbrighton and I were asked to remove our cycle rain jackets one match, as they were exactly the same bright yellow as the stewards, and the control room kept trying to radio the "two lazy stewards" who were sat watching the game, eventually they sent supervisor steward to fetch us who came over all red faced and angry then realised we wern't actually staff.
Next season they had the volt yellow tops and everyone looked like a steward!

Morning twatty. Lovely to hear from you again. I have a soft spot for Orient these days also, and I hope you go up. Good win at Bristol Rovers the other day I noticed - bossed it from start to finish. Mind you everyone beats them these days, even Swindon.

Life has changed a lot since you were last a regular here. We've moved from disliking Orient onto hating Palace and each other based on Brexit. I reckon you're pro EU as I can never remember your spelling being terrible and embarrassingly childish.

They also have the support of the whole goal stanchion community!



These beautiful things. Only (?) team in the English league not to switch to "box goals", I think.

Surely an urban myth?

No, it isn't.

Morning Twatty, I see you finished your paper round early this morning



And CR means great to hear from you. (I do a bit of interpreting these days as part of my charity work)

[emoji23] Please don’t waste a beautiful Saturday following your head tenants round the board though, you do it Mon - Fri, have a day off [emoji6]
