Well done Leyton Orient, better than our piss poor attempt

 

[ccfcway]

fair play to them !!

that's a lot of bans to hand out !

cue the "what did it achieve" comments

Game abandoned. Points deduction for next season on the way ?

Game abandoned now apparently.

They just need to sift through this pile of STs for the names and addresses.

Fair play to em albeit the other team will be pissed being playoff contenders

not if they are awarded a 3-0 win

They won't be in the EFL though. Not that I know if it makes any difference.

A few seasons ago they were the team to beat in Div 3
They were a break-even type business.
They got a new owner with money to invest....
As they say, be careful what you wish for.....

Perhaps the football league should think about that and modify the fit and proper person criteria so that sociopaths don't keep getting their hands on our football clubs.

I wonder if that's Bechetti's photo in the middle of that wreath?

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Shame we haven't got a few more like that here.
Then again they also have some who say they "hate the owner" but keep fighting his corner!!

didn't notice that but I think you're right.

Well done and good luck to them. Becchetti is a lunatic. One of many that need ousting. The Football League are a spineless disgrace and they're as much at fault for the mess as the crap owners.

Agree but they won't they will keep fining clubs and banning fans

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Now all the fans have left the players are coming out to play the last 5 minutes

You don't have to ask my permission. Who am I anyway?
Just saying that because SISU are the Evil Empire it doesn't mean everyone else is a superhero however well intentioned

Very crafty!! Wonder who made that call? Assuming the FA / EFL / officials since there isn't enough time to arrange a replay of the remaining minutes on another day?

On Twitter EFL said decision was made in conjunction with thw police and their advice.

A new low for football fans. From what I can gather, reading reports on various media, the FANS who PAY the wages of all concerned, were blatantly lied to that the game was being abandoned in order to remove them from the stadium so they could finish the game without them. This, I believe to be a lie since they game was delayed, not abandoned.

I am talking about all the paying fans of both clubs, not just those on the field.

I realise it was a difficult situation but is it right that for the last 5 minutes Leyton Orient just passed the ball between themselves and none of the opposing team even tried to get the ball?

Seems that way from clips I've seen. A bit pointless but Colchester are a team in contention for the playoffs so a outcome was needed and a abandoned verdict with points and goal difference would of been unfair on the other teams going for the playoffs.

Don't tell Sunderland, they'll go mental.

Isn't Leyton Orient not trying for the last 5 minutes and injury time also unfair on Colchester rivals though?

Yes you could be right looking at it that way. Strange scenario really
