I was there yesterday. Horrible and sluggish response. Supposedly it’s EFL protocol to carry on a game of the field of play isn’t directly affected but this is a barbaric interpretation - with clear communication that a man was having serious cardiac issues being waved away repeatedly.

Did I see that the ref wouldn't stop the game and the people trying to attend to the bloke had to run around the outside of the pitch or something?

Yeah in the east stand we were telling stewards to get a defibrillator as people around the supporter were signalling for CPR. After about 2 minutes of nothing being done by the club a guy jumped over the hoardings and spoke to the linesman who ignored him. I saw the guy gesturing for CPR and pointing to the stands. He was grabbed by security and led out of the stadium. Another couple of minutes past, and a guy ran onto the pitch and went directly to the referee and spoke to a few players. Again he was led away. Then fans in the north stand got onto the pitch and sat down, and only then did officials start making space for the man. A few minutes later the emergency services arrived. Constant booing from the crowd at the ref and players as they continued. Players and officials were looking like they were going to carry on, even as CPR was being delivered pitch side. It was traumatic and the feeling of desperation and frustration at those who held power was really palpable.

That sounds awful. I'd expect much better from the club after what happened to Justin Edinburgh.

Sounds like a proper balls up.

A 2-1 win for The O’s and up into 9th place- such a good recent improvement..
The winner..

 

[nailsy]

I doubt the keeper will forget that

@TheChosenOne Looks like Orient are 16th. I prefer whichever table you were looking at

Edit - I wonder if it's something to do with the abandoned game? Those three extra points would move them 9th.

Haven't been keeping up with the O's action, holiday, health and bizzyness. Apologies.

Today Orient enter the FA Cup first round at home to Carlisle United.

Hope you're ok TCO. I went to the game today. It was a decent enough performance and they deserved the win. I was surprised by the low turnout though. Only about three thousand there with two of the stands closed despite cheap tickets.

 

[TheChosenOne]

Yeah I’ m OK, just can’t get rid of a cough I have had for months- makes me tired.

Been busy doing nothing as tje saying goes- looking after the Mrs and being the family taxi driver - good job I dont work anymore.
Surprised at the low gate - bit too early to be blaming Christmas but when games come thick and fast something has to give I suppose

 

[TheChosenOne]

Forgot - The O's just kicked off V Lincoln City a few minutes ago. The replayed match that was abandoned.

 

[TheChosenOne]

A 1-0 defeat wasn't in the script. Ah well

Let’s laugh at ….

Interestingly they’ve just taken our youth keeper Josh Keeley on loan but already have Zach Hemming also on loan from Middlesbrough ( and had another of their youth keepers Sol Brynn on loan there last season so seem to have a set up with Middlesbrough as well).

Seems strange they’ve taken another youth keeper on loan, unless they have concerns Hemming isn’t doing very well for them?

 

[Robbiepope]

Zach Hemming has had a bad start e.g. was at fault/could of done better for the goals they conceded in the first 3 games.

Richie Wellens said in a recent interview that an experienced league 1 goalkeepers are too much money for Orient.

Aside from the last league game the performances have been ok , they just need to find their shooting boots although Idris El Mizouni is a big miss in centre midfield (now at Oxford).
