Looks like he was kept overnight in the police station as he posted this a few hours ago and the time is 06.08

He is the owner of the fanzine Pandemonium and he has very close links with the club and is a committee member of LOFT. And a supporter who needs to pull his head in. |

As you people are probably aware i sometimes sell Panamonium for Matt and know him quite well , I've never heard him use racist language before and find it hard to believe he did yesterday, he's 100% Orient and like to express his feelings , I myself was using a bit of choice language whilst watching that crap yesterday 🤔

Hopefully the whole thing was a storm in a teacup, although the language he uses does go beyond the pale. Even if the racism allegation is unfounded, at the very least the club should put him on notice about his use of extreme obscenities From EFL Ground Regulations.. 9 The use of threatening behaviour, foul or abusive language is strictly forbidden and will result in arrest and/or ejection from the Ground. The Club may impose a ban for one or more Matches. 10 Racial, homophobic or discriminatory abuse, chanting or harassment is strictly forbidden and will result in arrest and/or ejection from the Ground. The Club may impose a ban for one or more Matches. www.efl.com/contentassets/b3cd34c726c341ca9636610aa4503172/ground-regulations-2021-2022-cleanfinal.pdf |

I’ve seen on Twitter plenty of people saying that they were a row or two in front or behind and at no time did he use racist language. Trouble is he does abuse the opposition bench as I’ve heard it myself previously and therefore he’s known for doing it which in this instant has come back to bite him on the arse. |

I followed right behind as he was led away by the police and he was protesting his innocence saying that he wasn’t a racist I missed the actual incident so I can’t confirm or deny what was said but we are a community club and if found guilty he should be banned for life too many times he aims foul and abusive language at visiting opponents bench and some people think it’s funny but there’s always quite a few kids in the west stand and while we all get the hump when things don’t go our way I for one don’t want to hear his bile week after week Racist comments or not, I have always felt that he was an embarrassment to our club during games. Just no need for his type of abuse to the opposition or indeed our own players. |

We can all be guilty of muttering foul and abusive language under our breath sometimes a little bit louder but me personally I find it cringe worthy when a grown adult continually spouts off vile abuse towards opposing players or staff club should have stopped this individual long long ago but have chosen to ignore it if he came to your house and started carrying on would you tolerate it he thinks it’s funny but people like him just spoil the day for decent families attending

Mat was released without charge due to lack of evidence.
Do wonder of this was all a means by the player to get his own back.

Racism or not, sounds like the bloke is an absolute weapon.
I’m no prude and have no problem with the odd bit of effing and jeffing at the footy, but he sounds like one of those muppets who go into abuse overdrive at basically anything. Embarrassing for a grown bloke to behave like that. And no, being a “passionate” supporter is not an excuse for being an abusive bell end.
Get him banned.

I'm sure some of you have seen this already but for those that have not... If the guy didn’t make racist comments, which by the looks of things, he didn’t, then it’s fair enough that his name is cleared. However, what concerns me is that suddenly the fact that this guy was being foul and abusive in the first place is now suddenly ignored as if that’s acceptable in itself. Just because he is innocent of making a racist comment that doesn’t suddenly negate the fact that he was being abusive in the first place (something which neither he or those defending him have denied). Being innocent of one offence doesn’t let you off the hook for a lesser offence. The fact that he was being belligerent and abusive enough to attract any attention in the first place is bad enough. I’d be mortified if my behaviour at a football match was bad enough that I found myself in this situation in the first place. Maybe this bloke should have a long hard look at how he conducts himself in a public place, and maybe he won’t find himself in these situations in the first place. If he doesn’t engage with the Col U player, this never happens. Maybe a lesson to be learnt. |

I'm glad this is now sorted. Thread locked.
