  1. Singh when we're winning ..

    Next up at the Hall is Jarnail Singh who takes charge of the first game of 2008. A referee who likes to let the players get on with it. It will be his 6th visit and the other 5 have all been home wins !! Low card count, but surprisingly still awaiting his first card-free match after nearly four...

    England in Sri Lanka

    First warm-up game today in Colombo. England have actually beaten their hosts to Sri Lanka, which is promising. They've also managed to beat me out there, as my flight isn't until Saturday. Sri Lanka were last night falling to a 2-0 defeat in convict land. Needing a world record 507 to win on...

  3. Gower

    How good was Gower today? He is in form in this league he is simply untouchable. He was everywhere and was a constant thorn. He looks fit, quick and quality. His goal capped off a fantastic performance from him. He worked well with Hammel and somebody should have scored from his cross after he...

    Ling in Trouble

    BBC The best bit is Thornton had his appeal for his red card rejected. :D I believe he's now been sent off twice this season. Should have been three. I wonder if referees have talked about his antics on the first day of the season and are watching him.

  5. League One Contenders -

    i am not one of those people who know a lot about other teams but looking at this league I am sure both Forest and Leeds United will be there at the finish - perhaps the O's with Thornton and Boyd might hang around at the higher end of the table and have heard good things about Bristol Rovers...

  6. Is League One better or worse than you expected ?

    it now seems to me that the CCC was a different planet - watching us get caught by skilful fast breaking teams week after who could always finish - and now the best we've seen is the horrible O Thornton compared with the likes of Upson, Bale, Noble etc last year. for me it is worse than i...

  7. Ref watch .... Thornton sent off

    ... and those going to Brighton can thank the ref (Mr Russell) in person.

    Flavs at Free Kicks

    Boring I know - I'm not going to knock Flavs. He is the best keeper on the books and deserves his place. BUT... thats 2 free-kicks he has let in now and it needs addressing. His wall-building is poor - ok, not helped by the fact we are a team of midgets. But also, he crouches down to low and...

  9. Lee Bradbury is well hard - the view from the East Stand

    1-0 up from a great Bradbury goal it looked as if the Tilson has really put a squad together rather than a team and I was enjoying watching the rain falling through the flloodlights. It seemed as if League One teams (I thought Orient were ****e - Thornton excepted) were going to be easy meat for...

    Martin Ling in the Racing Post

    Not all Southend related, but some views here from the O's gaffer about last weekend: BEING up against a Championship club away from home is the hardest possible draw in the first round of the Carling Cup, but we go to QPR tonight in fine spirits following an excellent start to the season. It...

    Should the FA look into Thornton??

    http://www.football.virginmedia.com/page/leagueonevideo/0,,12555~1090031,00.html I was watching these highlights and I noticed how badly Thornton was playing on it winding up Macca. I mean Macca being a gentleman and a good sport went to give his hand to help Thornton up and he pulled away to...

  12. Choice of Ref

    Can't believe that The FA, for a local derby game, picked a referee who has got such a bad reputation, despite his prem status, and who did not referee a single game last year due to injury and so, logically, wont be very sharp. I thought that some of his decisions were strange to say the least...

    Who got s***f***d last night!

    I need to come in here because the "tsunami" of negativity on the main board was overwhelming me so I just wondered how everyone coped last night after yesterdays result! I started about half seven in my local club, three and a half kronenbergs, table booked for a ruby with the...

  14. Tilson comments

    Sir steve moans about Thornton conning the ref for 90 mins. and an unfair dismissal - yep we all agree with that - BUT who got the points Steve ? who got the points Macca ?

  15. Late substitutions - why?

    Apologies if this has already been said but can anyone explain to me why after calling Black from warming up along the touchline it took another 10 minutes to get him on the pitch as substitute? What was the reason for the delay? With that heat we needed some fresh legs and the 10 men out there...

  16. The Way it is in the West Stand.

    usual half hearted, disorganised warm up - everything looking a bit slack and careless e.g. Darryls kicking and distribution but its League One and the opposition can't really play. Loads of good old hoofs and a bit of head tennis - Matt Harrold looked fit, trying to put himself about and...

  17. An Orient perspective

    for what its worth, I thought a point would have been a fair result today. Quite clearly the game hinged on the sending off. IMO, McCormick was the best player on the park, but I called his red card before the game with my Shrimper supporting mate. He is quite clearly a loose cannon and...

  18. Small Wall ,small Goalkeeper .

    Sitting in the south upper right behind the Goal you could see that we was in Big Danger from that free kick .Apart from Harrold ,the rest of the wall looked so small and inviting to an Orient player to dink it over .Our Small Goalie then makes things a lot worse by not standing in the centre...

    Orient Match Thoughts

    Come on. Don't any of you tell me you didn't know that was coming. It was inevitable! Can't say that it's setting any MAJOR alarm bells off in my head. Only worrying thing for me is how shocking we look up front. We just don't look like cutting anyone open. C Mac looked lively when he came...
