Didn’t say Tidser wasn’t a good player at our level - he was excellent at times. Fact is though, he was only playing at our level because he wasn’t a good enough natural athlete to secure a spot with an average SPL side. When you are slow to start with... and then start to get slower with age, you end up getting released by Falkirk and signing for Kelty Hearts as a 30th birthday present!

Tidser would quite possibly have been Celtic regular for years if he’d had pace. A very talented player, but just had no zip in his legs, which is why he ended up playing at a pretty mediocre level throughout his career. If you’re not rapidly quick these days you are going nowhere. Coaches should be honest with the numerous kids that are playing pro youth football - if you’re not fast, you’re never going to make it at a decent level.

By all accounts Tidser looked done at Falkirk this season. It’s pretty young for that, but he has never been a good athlete. Signing for Kelty Hearts is pretty much acknowledging that his best days are past him... he’s now just trying to get as much money as he can - can’t blame him. Tidser’s career was ultimately pretty disappointing, majorly held back by a lack of speed and athleticism.

Seeing the earlier comments on Quitongo. Could never take to him when he was at Morton, had a bit too much swagger for someone that was such a limited footballer... turned out an even worse character that I thought. Good to see young Lyons and Strapp breaking through now. Both technically better footballers than Quitongo was, and they seem to have good attitudes.

Bachirou was an excellent player. Wouldn’t doubt that he maybe lost his motivation in a truly awful season... was probably desperate to get away from Morton. Undoubtedly one of our top midfielders in the last 20 years.

Tidser an unused sub for Falkirk yesterday. 0-0 draw at home to East Fife, more calls for McKinnon to go.

Not a single Falkirk supporter with a good word to say about Tidser or McKinnon... a shame that. On Millar, he was clearly done last season, his legs are gone. Possibly contributed to his umpteen floated balls into the box on Friday night...

You're still obsessed I see... I'm sure I didn't say he was useless, as he was a decent player. Just didn't think he had it in him to ever make it in the top league in England, which he hasn't.

Pretty sure I said he wouldn't make it at Newcastle Utd when he signed for them. According to Google that was in 2016 and... according to Google, he made zero league appearances for Newcastle Utd. Wrong again... damn.

I thought that there were some rules to banter on here, but clearly for some there aren't. I know several of the 'clique' to see/by name (most in fact, been pointed out to me by a couple of other posters that know them), but I wouldn't put their names on a message board, as I think it's a pretty w*nkerish thing to do. The 'weans hating' comment I guess is supposed to annoy me, but knowing how I get on with my kids... I can just about cope with it. It's just more out of bounds w*nkerish behaviour. Bottom line, if it bothered me in the slightest I wouldn't be here... I do know that I've had a bit of a chuckle to myself when I've walked past these 'bully-boys' at Cappielow.

Which manager wouldn't want to move to a bigger club on the back of a couple of successful years? An unambitious one... Luckily for him he was in the position to be able to take a gamble and leave a relatively secure job at Livi.

Hmm... I tipped him to become the Bradford manager months before he got the job. At no point did I say whether or not he'd do well - impossible to predict that. You're very good at making stuff up to suit your ramblings. Agree though, typical football management, his stock will have plummeted in the last two months. He could easily be sacked by Christmas.. As above, what do you have against Hopkin? A Morton supporter, shareholder... and a decent guy.

Take it Gary Harkins is out injured? Was surprised to see him at Cappielow yesterday, rather than at the QoS game...

I'd say I was pretty much spot on, as usual... fair enough if you think Quintongo is a great player, and our current midfield is fully equipped to battle it out for 90 mins over a season.

Yeah, Williams looked the genuine article for a while. I thought we'd be lucky to have him for a season, a real waste of talent, but his own fault.

We'll see how our midfield copes during the season. If I'm wrong about the Tidser/Millar/McAlister trio I'll happily admit it... I hope they guide us to promotion! Not saying Millar is a bad footballer by any means, saying the trio, including Millar, doesn't have the required mobility/fitness. Think it has been shown quite clearly already... Some on here absolutely rave about Quitongo. Along with some others, I didn't ever think he was up to much... a weird player, unplayable a few times I saw him, but more often he was falling over his own feet or losing control of the ball. So, I do think he was massively over-rated by some... again, if he goes on to have a great career at a level higher than Morton, I'll have to admit I was wrong! Would be amazed if it happened. Genuinely can't think of anyone else that was so over-hyped. Alex Williams? (although he was actually very consistent for a while)

For me Quitongo is probably the most over-rated Morton player in the last 20 years. Yes, he had a handful (and it was a handful) of outstanding games, and scored a few screamers, but the majority of the time his first touch and finishing were really poor... and his understanding of the game left a lot to be desired. He has so much to learn, and if he was ever fit, it maybe it would happen. Feel sorry for him, tough to be so plagued with injuries at such a young age.

St Mirren fans keen on Shankland heading there. Wondered how they there were reacting to draws with Spartans and Queens Park... they are struggling up front, and 'Shanks' is the main name being discussed.

Do remember taking part in an event where many of the first team squad were present a few years ago. They seemed a decent bunch, I left thinking the only one that had a bit of a giant sized ego was O'Ware... was never really that keen on him after that. A decent player for us though...

I'm sure O'Ware would have fancied his chances of getting picked up by a Premiership team... a poor move really, but the Championship is his level.

Must be a fair chance that at least one of Millar/McAllister will end up back at Cappielow...

Haven't really heard any rave reviews about McDaid at the level below us. Heard rave reviews about 5 years ago... when he choose to leave Morton.

He was a great servant to Morton, no doubt. Not saying he is a great guy, played football with him in the past... meh

Living in Greenock... seems to be doing very well for himself, whatever line of business he's in. Great servant to Morton.

Good for him, easily one of our best players in the 10 last years. We were lucky to have him.. So, he maybe worked a move away from Morton, but can you really blame him? Gone on to prove himself way too good for a bang average Scottish Championship side...
