Centre backs. Five will progress to the final 25.

 

Players who were removed to cut it down to 25 were Stuart McCaffrey, Ricki Lamie and Gavin Gunning on the grounds of being good, and Simon Mensing, Frank McKeown and assorted youth players on the grounds of being irrelevant.

 

Don’t get upset if your favourite players haven’t been removed, I know no one actually thinks Mark McLaughlin is among the worst we’ve had but I’m keeping as many in as possible.

Creag Little should be reinstated to this list for his omnishambles of a display in the 6-0 trouncing at Motherwell and for not spelling his name properly.

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

Anyone voting for Peter Grant doesn’t remember Page or Cole.

I voted for him alongside Cole, Page, Buchanan and Van Shiak.

 

He’s not the worst, but it upset me at the time to see Thomas O’Ware getting no votes in the arsehole poll last season just because there were other arseholes.

 

Although some are worse, his contribution deserves acknowledgement. The same rule applies to that tit Buchanan.

Cole & Crighton. The latter is maybe a bit harsh as he’s by all accounts a good guy, worked with our youth setup, and he didn’t pick himself, but my god was he bad. Still have flashbacks to him launching the ball towards nobody, over and over again.

 

Cole needs no explanation.

I see Henk is well ahead on the poll. Was he that bad?? I never saw him play..

He was shite, but he’s fresh in the memory. Milojevic for example was bad AIDS, but the passage of time has been kind to him.

Milojevic was certainly worse than Crighton, Van Shite was even worse though.

 

And I’m still not seeing Little on the poll, despite that being quite possibly the worst centre half display of the decade and around the top 10 in terms of results.

There does tend to be a recency bias in these polls, but I'm glad that people are remembering some of the golden oldies.

 

I can't remember which game it was but I remember a decent but not exactly earth-shattering cross coming into the box, and Page actually ducking his head to avoid it, in a sort of jump-cum-cringe, and the opposition scored from it. It was a jaw-dropping moment of incompetence and, Parkhead aside, seemed to sum up his brief time at Morton.

If that is the Motherwell game you are talking about, he was playing at left back. Up against Jamie Murphy who took him to the cleaners. Goals all came from him....

 

And Colin Stewart.

Correct. He started two games for us and both were at left back, so he can’t feature in the centre back poll despite that being his natural position.

I have made a peaceful and legitimate request: for one of the worst centre backs in the club’s entire history to be included on a poll of the decade’s worst centre backs as well.

 

Unless you believe that we squandered the next Franco Baresi by a tactical change then your counter argument is invalid. Which given his fresh air swipe at a basic clearance of a corner for one of Motherwell’s parade of goals that day is not a hill that you should be choosing to die on.

No one cares more for shite footballers than me, but to try and impose your shite footballers upon me is insulting, outrageous and arrogant.

 

If he’s included in a poll he’ll be included at full back because that’s where he actually played for us, in much the same way as Stephen Welsh will be listed as a full-back despite being a natural centre back, and Jamie McDonagh will be included at full-back despite being fuck knows what.

Nice try, but as you well know there’s not going to be a vacancy for a shite player at left-back as 2013/14’s candidate is already a runaway favourite. So only by putting the second worst centre back of the decade in the actual centre back poll can we correctly select the worst defence of the decade. Which last time I checked was the supposed point of your exercise.

They’re all going into one big poll for the outfielders in the end anyway. If Little makes the cut as one of the five worst full backs (there’s going to be some excellent competition there past the surely inevitable top three of Fitzpatrick, Forsyth & McCormack) then you can vote for him as part of your final XI in whatever position you have in mind.

So you're saying that in the end we can pick a team with four left backs in it and Jonathan Page up front? I can only see this climbdown and back of a fag packet response ending well for you.
