Orient win 6-1 (or was it 9 ?)

First friendly of the season today, away to Cirencester.
I couldnt go to the game (I rarely go to away games) so I made do with checking on the internet. What a shambles !
First I checked BBC. I couldn't find it anywhere. So then I tried sky sports. 0-0 was the score... at 3pm (!)
So then I tried the Leyton Orient message board. Its a great message board, always interesting stuff... but for getting a score right ? Forget it. According to our intrepid bunch of fans the score was, 1-0, then 2-0 then 3-0. (so far so good). Then it was 3-2 and then it was 6-0 . ( I began to think something was wrong here) Then later, all at the same time different people said that it was 6-1, or "Reuters said it was 8" or someone else said 9-1.

Finaly someone confirmed that sky sports had said it was 6-1. I still wasn't convinced, and only believed the score when I saw it on the club website... AND received a text message from sky sports.

I told Terry next day and he hadnt realised we were playing. But we were both happy with the result "the sign of things to come etc". The only wet blanket was my wife who reminded us that Cirencester were several divisions below us . "About 10" she said... Grrrr
