Scott McGleish to play v Athlone?

[Zesh Rehman]

oh come on mate that is SHIT arrrrghhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[BensGrandad]

Ignoring his history against us, he is the type of player we need as a back up striker to bring on when chasing a game - he knows exactly where the goal is and can put the ball in there.

Or he is a 4th division player and is ok in the 3rd?

8 March 1997

Brighton 4 Leyton Orient 4
Ray Wilkins (who scored in the 1983 FA Cup Final) is in Orient's team. Orient are just clear of the clubs in the demotion zone and should be safe, 9 points clear of Brighton on 6 March 1997.
Conditions: overcast, cool.

Kick-off delayed for 5 minutes because of crowd congestion. An insufficient number of turnstiles were opened.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1-0 Craig Maskell alluded the offside trap and clinically put the ball past Luke Weaver in the Orient goal. 5 mins.

2-0 Craig Maskell headed brilliantly past Luke Weaver from a stunning Paul McDonald cross at speed on a great breakaway from the half-way line. 7 mins.

HT. 2-0

1-2 Carl Griffths poked home from close range after John Humphreys for Brighton failed to get to grips with Orient's young winger Lee Hodges who crossed successfully for the first time in the match. 47 mins.

2-2 Alex Inglethorpe equalised for Orient with a fine header, with a plenty of space allowed by Brighton's sleeping defence. 50 mins.

2-3 Carl Griffths shocked Brighton with a close range shot from a good cross by Justin Channing.

Ian Baird headed in powerfully from Paul McDonald's corner, but the goal was disallowed. 60 mins.

3-3 Ian Baird equalised for Brighton by a far post header after some excellent wing-play from Paul McDonald followed by a superb cross. 74 mins.

3-4 Scott McLeish restored Orient's lead after the ball ran for them in Brighton's box. 75 mins.

Three Brighton supporters ran on to the pitch and became involved in a scuffle with the Orient players. Play was held up for 4 minutes. 75 mins.
Craig Maskell heading for goal with the keeper to beat was sliced down by Danny Chapman for a blatant penalty. 81 mins.

Penalty delayed. Robbie Reinhelt (Brighton) booked and Mark Warren (Orient) is sent off for a second bookable offence.

4-4 Paul McDonald keeps his head and slots the penalty calmly home. 85 mins.

Atmosphere: Fair 6/10 Volatile. Extremely Tense in last 30 mins. Performance: Average 5/10.

Orient played exceptionally well which came as a shock to Brighton supporters. This game was meant to the easiest game before the tense encounters to come.

Referee: Frazor Stretton.

Attendance: 9,298 (largest of the season and the largest in Division 3, despite being the second game in a week). Official attendance may have been revised to 8,655.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brighton are bottom, two points adrift of Doncaster and have played two games more. They are 3 points adrift of Hereford United who have played the same number of games.

The fear amongst the supporters is that the club will be deducted more league points, which will make relegation to the Vauxhall Conference almost certain. However, it is very difficult to prevent the action of an occasional nutter. Barry Hearn's (Orient) protest about the organisation at the ground is allegedly an opening punch to cloud over issues about the behaviour of the Orient players that may have contributed to the incident. More information held.

Carlisle are 5 points clear of Fulham at the top of Division 3, with Wigan in third place 10 points clear of Swansea and these teams are certain to gain the 3 automatic promotion places.

Brighton last featured in a 4-4 draw at the Goldstone in Division 4 in the 1964-65 season against Chester City before a crowd of 16,414.

If you read my post correctly you will see that I said he is the TYPE of player that we need not the actual player. ie someone who is getting on in years, experienced, not young enough to play a full game but capable of coming on when we are a goal down and score, perhaps an equalising or winning goal. Our option at the moment is divided between Robinson and Gatting!!!

McGleish was the one doing the wanker sign to the north stand

McGleish was the one doing the wanker sign to the north stand

Blimey, just realised I used to work with the referee for that game. Smashing fellow Fraser, big Leicester City fan, hairiest man in the world, resembled a silverback gorilla.

 

[7:18]

definitely not playing in Athlone
