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.

A team of fringe players is sent out to go through the motions to avoid any injuries to first team players - we had a cup tie against Kilmarnock imminent.

2013 - Hamilton 2-1 Morton (O'Brien)

All three goals hilariously assisted by the Dunfermline defence.

2005 - Arbroath 0-1 Morton (Millar)

LargsTon chose the exact moment to phone me for an update on the game as Chris Millar did to score an injury time winner.

Someone got onto the park to celebrate with Millar.

1979 - Morton 0-1 Hearts 

Scottish Cup replay.

The goal described isn't quite as I remember it. I recall Connaghan dropping a cross and Busby slamming it home. The chat in the car going home was that we needed a new keeper. Roy Baines duly arrived for our next game and Connaghan never played for Morton again.

Sadly, it did not "sound the death knell for St. Mirren". We eventually contrived to finish 2nd bottom, one point behind them.

2008 - Hamilton 3-0 Morton 

 

2005 - Forfar 2-0 Morton 

This game was called off an hour before kick-off originally, causing a number of Morton fans to head to Perth to watch St. Mirren losing. On a Tuesday night, whilst many others sat at home watching Chelsea and Barcelona play one of the greatest games ever seen, a handful of us froze our balls off watching a terrible performance at Station Park.

 

2003 - Queen's Park 0-1 Morton (Adam)

The game at which I first met the poster formerly known as "Beaver".

 

1999 - Morton 0-3 Celtic

Scottish Cup.

There are lengthy highlights elsewhere, including Kevin Twaddle getting beaten by a balloon. We gave it a right go on the night, but the 2nd goal knocked the stuffing out of us. We pressed high and they did not get to enjoy their usual "play it from the back" system. Just before the 2nd goal, two of their defenders nearly squared up due to their repeated failure to get the ball forward.

A top of the table clash. Dundee won also and still topped the table, but we had two games in hand.

1975 - Motherwell 3-0 Morton 

 

D0mtd47WsAU7x_c.jpg

 

 

 

I notice in that report on the 3-0 defeat by Motherwell in 1975 that we had a Ray Hudson on loan from Newcastle.  I don't remember seeing him at the time, but I assume it is the same Ray Hudson who is half of Bein Sport USA's commentary team that now covers Barcelona games - he has a very good turn of phrase and comes out with some really funny stuff.

"Any nation given the opportunity to regain its national sovereignty and which then rejects it is so far beneath contempt that it is hard to put words to it."

Yeah Alibi, that's him.

I'd love to have you both for dinner
