No, he consistently performed as a bottom half of the Championship standard of goalkeeper. The issues that stopped him from playing at a higher level in the game were, in no particular order:

- non-existent command of the defence in front of him

- mediocre distribution

- dodgy claiming of crosses (in more recent years at least)

 

Making some great saves and having a generally good shot-stopping ability is only one part of a goalkeeper's job, which most fans seem to vastly overrate. I don't really begrudge Gaston getting the nod, but McCrorie was quite simply a better keeper on the above traits and not because of greater consistency.

VT for once making some sense

Still, I'm sure that if we all wait long enough then some sort of point will finally be attached to that (initially wrong) statistic. 

The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club. It's not supposed to be about point scoring and showing how 'clever' or 'funny' you are, or just being downright rude and offensive to people you don't know, because you can get away with it. Unfortunately, it seems the classic case of people who have little standing/presence in real life, use this forum as a way of making themselves feel as if they are something. It's sad, and I've said that before..

 

So, having been on Morton forums for about 15 years I guess, I've had enough... well done t*ssers, another Morton supporter driven away. You can all feel happy at how 'clever' you are
