Mr McGleish...

[FalmerforAll!**]

No one going to mention the poor lad having to walk past the majority of the South Stand on crutches today then?

The Scott McGleish WAS a wanker chant went down well.

 

[theonesmith]

Or the chants of "Let him die, let him die, let him die"?

 

[Horsham Gull]

his bow to the south stand was funny

 

[Gerbil]

even though it wasn't him all them years ago

McGLeish injury looked nasty, but the BHA fans enjoyed it and were cheering when the stretcher was called for. bastard scum.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

That's the POINT. We understand it. He understands it.

It's what being a supporter (and a villain) is all about. Long may it continue.

 

[Skaville]

I'm still confused. Was it actually him or was it griffiths

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Won't go so far as to wish injury on anyone, even Scott McGleish, but I'm sure he'll be fine, and the incident as a whole was far more entertaining than anything that happened in a football context all game.

I reckon he was too proud to go off on a stretcher in front of us- alternatively had he limped straight off towards the dressing room from where he was injured, he wouldn't have had any Albion fans within fifty yards at any point. But McGleish being McGleish insisted on running the gauntlet of the South Stand, twice, it was proper panto stuff.

Highlight of the day for me. Football needs villains as much as it does heroes, and he never lets us down does he?

 

[Captain Pugwash]

I do hate him, a bit of me hopes he is ok.....

Think Griffiths was doing the old gun thing, but I am still fairly sure that McGleish was giving out a few "going down" gestures, so have no intention of letting him off the hook yet, even after twelve years, or whatever it is

 

[Giraffe]

The highlight of the match for sure. It was pure panto. Loved the big cheer when the stretcher was called for and then when he limped off on crutches. Tremendous.

 

[El Presidente]

I know some of you have heard this before, but I was on holiday a few years ago and Carl Griffiths stayed at the same resort. He swears blind that it was McGleish who upset the North Stand, and says the Orient players were shitting themselves as they left the ground as they thought there would be a welcoming party for them outside the players' entrance.

We thought at the time he'd taken one in the plums, which would have been even better.

What has been particularly pleasing over the years about this vendetta against the wanker is that is completely baffles opposition fans ... especially those at Colchester, Peterborough and Wycombe.

Some Orient fans may get it, I suppose, but most will simply be confused.

Most of the obsessive hatred in football is directed against teams. This one is personal, and therefore so much more rewarding. From today's performance, I get the impression that McGleish actually enjoys the attention.

Without a doubt it was Carl Griffiths.

Someone reported on NSC a few years back that Mrs McGleish is CONVINCED that her husband is unfairly carrying the can for Griffiths.

One of my colleagues (a Spurs fans) was working at the game today and was standing right by the South Stand when McGleish hobbled off on crutches. He texted me afterwards to ask why on earth the bloke was getting so much stick.

Don't think he could quite believe how long we hold a grudge down here when I replied telling him why

 

[Trigger]

Without a doubt it was Carl Griffiths.

However, McGleish is still a FUCKNUT... Albiet a crocked FUCKNUT.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Felt more than a bit sorry for the boy to be honest, having to hobble past H Block on crutches like that. Could have been a career-ending injury for all we knew or cared. Same as Charlie Oatway's a couple of years back on Boxing Day. Giving him a bit of stick when he's playing is one thing, but that went WAY too far IMHO.
