New Zealand international Chris Zoricich puts the O's one up with a diving header from a Simon Livett free kick. Albion then suffer a sending off before Andy Jones adds a second following a Mickey Tomlinson cross. Brighton then level with two goals in two minutes. Then, in the 89th minute, Andy Jones grabs his second following a Kenny Achampong cross to win it for the O's.
Striped shorts. Heh.
What was it the comment said at one game? "Orient in the plain red, Brighton in the plain ridiculous"

As I said, I'm not condoning it all. A lot of people non-Albion people jumped on the bandwagon at the time because they knew there would potential aggro.
As for your colleague switching to Burgess Hill because we moved to Gillingham - that's loyal isn't it!
OK, I concede, you kept us up!

I am fully aware of what Bellotti & Archer did at your club and believe it or not I sympathised with your cause. A work colleague was one of your 'key' supporters opposing their plans; since your move to Gillingham he actually switched loyalties to supporting Burgess Hill FC.
Despite the mire that you were in, it can NO WAY be used as defence for attacking innocent Leyton Orient FC fans AND PLAYERS; even Kavanagh QC couldn't defend that position!
The fact remains WE STILL KEPT YOU UP. :-)

I'm not condoning what happened at that game in 1997 but there were mitigating circumstances. We were on the verge of going bust, had no home, and were getting royally fucked (cue hilarious homophobic response) by our board. People cared and for some their tempers boiled over.
North Road isn't in the Lanes. 'Chutney ferrets' and 'uphill gardeners' can 'mince around' all they want if it keeps narrow-minded, ill-informed, mentally-challenged, bigoted fucknuts away from this beautiful place.

Cast your mind back to a certain draw at the Goldstone? The despicable antics of your supporters on that occasion beggered (no, not buggered!) belief.
I used to work in North Rd once a week and lets be honest, you do have far more than your fair share of chutney ferrets and uphill gardeners mincing around The Lanes don't you!
B&HA 'fans' have also had very little time for us BUT FACT - it was LEYTON ORIENT that kept YOU LOT in the league by beating Hereford away - U ARE FOREVER IN OUR DEBT!

Nice one Essex Boy. What a considered opinion you have.
You're right, everyone in Brighton & Hove is gay; always have, always will be.
How are we scum then? I'd like to know.
For someone from Essex to criticise Brighton is absolutely hilarious.
Dante2222 2 years ago
Anyone must have seriously been a raving homosexual to support a team of men running around in stripey blue and white shorts.
I despise Brighton more than Southend. Their supporters are absolute scum and, what's more, I truly believe that Brighton is the most overated slum in the South of England.
I wouldn't bother shitting on the Withdean Stadium, not the pond life that fills it, even if I was one of their beloved seagulls!
