AyrshireTon Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 26th January - 2013 - Morton 1-0 Raith Rovers (Tidser) 2008 - Dunfermline 2-0 Morton 2005 - Stirling Albion 1-1 Morton (a first half overhead kick by Stewart Greacen) 1991 - Stirling Albion 0-1 Morton A Dave McCabe goal won this Scottish Cup tie. This may have been our last trip to Annfield, but I've an odd feeling the game was played at Brockville because of Stirling's synthetic pitch. 1985 - Morton 3-3 Rangers Pitch deemed to be fine to play on, just needed an orange ball. There's full 30 minute highlights available, but this is just the goals. http://youtu.be/9vLkhp1uTIY 1980 - Morton 1-0 Cowdenbeath (Tolmie) Cup again, the draw would give us Dunfermline at home. A couple of older ones include a 4-4 draw away to Rangers in 1946 and a 9-0 win over Bo'ness in the cup in 1935. McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up. Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control... That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie. Twenty minutes on the clock and Morton's supporters come alive. A goal which epitomises the control, the arrogance, the cheek of Andy Ritchie.

axeman Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Yeah AT the Stirling Albion game was played at Brockville, as you said because of the plastic pitch at Annfield we were allowed to ask for a neutral venue. I'd love to have you both for dinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malt Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I remember that 2003 game. Seems like a few seasons ago! One sad thing I will say, I have been attending cappielow for near on 30 years now and my best memories are from when we were in the 3rd division! Would love a season like that in the championship!

One sad thing I will say, I have been attending cappielow for near on 30 years now and my best memories are from when we were in the 3rd division! Would love a season like that in the championship! I think the away games made that season in particular - like the opener at Gretna, where the crap performance was ignored as most of the support were completely hammered. Last two away games (East Fife and Stirling) were brilliant. “Memorable†first trip to Peterhead where we got through the traffic jams just in time for KO - and were 4-0 down by the break. McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up. Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control... That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie.

Are you mental?There was quite a few memorable games that season, especially towards the end of it, but remember we were so bad that after an Albion fucking Rovers team featuring a 20 stone Mark Yardley beat us, it looked like we would be stuck in the 4th tier again. The winning run and massive crowd at Cappielow glossed over a lot of things, but we were woeful for a lot of that campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a picture of Yardley doing the rounds after that game - he was unbelievably out of shape yet still bullied our defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most fans will recall the big crowds, the buzz surrounding the Australians and Jani signing, Alex Williams scoring a ton, the game away to Stirling, Peterhead, the town after it that night. So, aye, pure mad mental LAD!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRVMP Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 That was my first season back in the fold after some years of barely caring and it does have to be said there was a buzz about the place, as there was in the first half of the following season. That it all ended in tears, and half the squad was (looking back on it) nowhere near good enough, doesn't change that. Then again it was a massive drop from 95-96 and as Ray Von correctly points out, that late loss at Albion Rovers with seven games to go was really how the bulk of the season went. Drawing at places like Gretna and Firs Park was common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ton in Shawlands Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I agree with the above, I'd been away from Greenock for years and had fallen away from going. The third division season was when I returned & got the bug again, not my best memories but it got me back into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The third division season was when I returned & got the bug again, not my best memories but it got me back into it.Morton had a purpose and direction then with a clearly defined 5 year plan and fans bought into it. The board, team and support were united and it made following Morton a pleasure. Now we appear to exist solely to get the Raes their money back and fans have had enough.

Ton in Shawlands Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Old territory obviously, bought a season ticket this year, I'm home and away by train as I don't drive & don't live in Greenock and haven't for decade. I'm now looking for excuses not to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Better do this whilst it's still "today". 27th January - today marked only our second post-war win on this date. 2007 - Cowdenbeath 1-1 Morton (McGowan) 2001 - Peterhead 4-1 Morton (Ross Matheson) Out of the cup - a disgraceful result, even allowing for it being during the dark days. 1990 - Falkirk 2-0 Morton Have to go back to 1968 for a 4-0 Scottish Cup win over Falkirk. A fair few games against non-league teams before the wars - Lochgelly, Murrayfield Amateurs (we drew this one), Dykehead, Inverness Clachnacuddin. McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up. Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control... That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie.

AyrshireTon Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 January 28th - quite a few here so need more than one post for the clips. 2017 - Ayr United 1-4 Morton Effortless doing of Ayr on BBC Alba, giving Gary Harkins a sign of what he'd be doing the following season. http://youtu.be/saZ2aInUpqg 2012 - Queen of the South 2-1 Morton (Archie Campbell) 2008 - Gretna 0-3 Morton (Weatherson 2, Millar) A cup replay played at Palmerston, with the winners playing QoS at home. Our last ever meeting with Gretna. 1997 - Morton 4-0 Arbroath (Lilley, Hawke, Cormack, Blair) After holding us to a 2-2 draw at Gayfield, we were too strong for the Lichties in the replay. McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up. Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control... That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie.

AyrshireTon Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 1995 - Kilmarnock 0-0 Morton A great effort from us (in the 2nd division) at Rugby Park, forcing a replay at Scapa. Interview with a very young Lilley at the end of the clip. http://youtu.be/_vd3dJHUlRI 1989 - Morton 0-0 Airdrie Cup tie again, with both teams going for it and doing everything but score. The replay at Broomfield would be on the Wednesday. 1981 - Heart of Midlothian 1-3 Morton (Tolmie, Rooney,Thomson) Cup replay at Tynecastle. Good times against a team which we had a fair bit of rivalry with in those days. The reward was Aberdeen at home..... http://youtu.be/8sL4pAohJtU And our first ever game on this date was in 1904 in the cup - Morton 8-1 6th GRV 6th GRV were from Dalbeattie. McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up. Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control... That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie.
