2017 - 2018 - Championship Updates And Scores

Toby posted it, not sure where he got the info, can't find it anywhere.

 

Pish then

[TRVMP]

It's a difficult time to move overseas because the ISL is well underway and not much time left, he's almost certainly not good enough to take a foreigner slot in China (where it's the transfer window)... somewhere like Thailand might be his best bet.

St Mirrren clearing the decks to free up space and funds to strengthen further for their promotion push (that's how you do it Morton, not making a single Shan-kland signing).

 

Gregor Buchanan released (possibly going to Livi) and Darryl Duffy off to Airdrie. Mullen, who was on loan from Livi pending a permanent transfer, completes that permanent transfer.

 

Makes me rage at how amateur we are. There's a club that have been in the pits, come back from the abyss, all whilst having a clear target. 

 

What do we have? A player say in his most recent interview that "he thinks" the target is to be better than last year. 

 

Jesus wept.

Confirmed.

Aye, it was Jon Connolly, Fauldhouse's manager who tweeted it IIRC and was retweeted by The Juniors (@TheJuniorsInfo) but having searched back, the tweet's disappeared.

 

Somebody maybe got ahead of themselves and then I did the same by the looks of things.

The 'naked table tennis' aura of Morton won't leave until the Raes do.

Hopefully that's imminent. 

 

GET OUT OF OUR CLUB

Monkey tennis?

Cheers. Figured there would have been a legitimacy around the time of posting.

 

At least they are at a level where amateur behaviour is mildly excusable.

St Mirren taking a Celtic player on loan. Didn't pick the name up though.

 

How do these loans work, do we pay a % of the salary or do some teams send players out just to get game time?

I don’t think we’d pay any of the salary of someone going from Celtic to St Mirren on loan.

Given some of our past deals I wouldn’t be all that surprised...

The only way to change things is to get the clowns at the top hounded as from Saturday and let them know enough is enough and they have taken us for mugs long enough.

Unfortunately we have a support with more happy clappers than folk willing will revolt.

 

Cab remember the last time a shan performance was suitably hounded.

Ayr away last season, which completely changed the outcome of it with Gunning and Murdoch coming in immediately after.

Indeed.

 

The home capitulation to the Midden in the last quarter should have been met with a monumental hounding such was the unforgivable performance levels.

 

Little did we know that we were only half way through the downed tools, short changing the fans final third.

 

Would have happily seen the second leg of the playoffs ending with a hounding rather than the sickening applauding of failure

It is the Morton way. There is a core of fans who will always doff their caps to whoever holds the purse strings at Morton. The majority though feel uncomfortable even disloyal in displaying disaffection with the Board, the manager and/or the players but unless they do things will never change and we are likely to continue to under-achieve.

[BishopBrennan]

It is rather indicative of the Morton fanbase that St Mirren beating us 4-1 at home to move out of 9th place wasn't met with a monumental hounding. There should have been a poisonous atmosphere at Cappielow that night, not the home support sneaking away quietly while those bastards were giving it big licks.

No no this can't be right, the Morton support is actually the most negative in the world to the extent that fans have directly caused defeats with the force of their criticism and even dissuaded players from signing for the club.

 

As Italian fans protest outside training sessions and smash their own players' cars in response to defeats; as fans in Sweden invade the pitch to assault players in response to relegation; as players in Mali need to be rescued by police after barricading themselves in the dressing room to keep out a rioting mob on the rampage trying to set fire to the stadium; all around the world, players in these terrifying situations still find the time to breathe a sigh of relief that they don't have to face the horrors of the Morton support.

 

A Togolese footballer sprinting off the pitch to escape a knife wielding pitch invader can be thankful he never had to go through the torment Kudus Oyenuga and Stewart Kean faced when someone said on a forum they'd never even read that he was a desperate panic-buy based on his track record. The Croats removing the rocks thrown through their windows of their houses by their own supporters allow themselves a wry smile, safe in the knowledge they didn't have to endure an ordeal like being booed off by the Cowshed while losing at half-time or hearing someone scream a blood-curdling obscenity like 'That's pish, don't let it bounce'. The club owners in Argentina forced to hand over money to hooligan groups under threat of violence are eternally grateful that they don't have to face something as unbearable as the chant of 'sack the board'.

 

You should all be ashamed of yourselves for suggesting that we're anything but the most intolerant fanbase in the world, frankly.
