It was a game that wasn''t dramatically turned by a disgraceful red card decision, but it certainly didn''t help. The first ten minutes aside, Norwich completely dominated the game, and the opening goal was always just around the corner. Now, the red card, I can honestly say that it was an absolute disgrace. Adam Drury clearly went in two-footed on JJ Melligan, he jumped up to avoid the challenge and unfortunately landed on him. The linesman (who was twenty yards closer to the incident than the referee) gave the decision to us, but the referee showed Melligan the red card without even talking to the linesman. But, in all honesty, I think we''d have still lost even if the referee had made the right decision. Norwich always looked like scoring, but 4-0 was extremely flattering. Enough about the action on the pitch, what about off it? I''m 19 years old, and been following Orient for ten years both home and away. The whole night just didn''t feel like I was following Orient. Our fans were very feisty and confrontational, and fighting amongst themselves? That''s unheard of at our place. A couple also tried to get into the Norwich end. But it was a decent atmosphere. There were also a series of fights on the train home between sets of Orient and Charlton (who lost 3-0 at Colchester) fans. Police took their time, but eventually got it under control, arresting all the culprits. Throw away the key if you ask me. Good luck for the rest of the season.
