I’ll be gutted if Muirhead leaves. We have a dozen players who run about a lot with little in the way of goal threat or creativity and no one else that can offer what he does. He has pish games like everyone else but the amount of decisive moments he comes up with in close games is massive for such a small and limited squad. If we can’t accommodate someone with his goal return and set piece delivery in our team then we are doing it wrong. the idea he doesn’t have a work rate is ridiculous as well. The guy runs himself in to the ground for the team most weeks despite it being a part of his game that he’s clearly not that comfortable doing. I couldn’t care less about how he acts with the fans either, he got absolute (deserved imo) pelters for being awful his first couple of years but has been a key player for us under imrie and he clearly sees right through the fans for singing his name when he bangs in a 30 yard free kick but then is always the first to get slated by the crowd at games or fans online when we are losing despite everything he’s done for us.

The passive aggressive nature of the quotation marks around that section probably putting in the hardest shift of the night there.

That's both the Motherwell game and tonight that we fannies from that section have been throwing things at morton fans at the front of the Cowshed as well. It's a shame as that section have put in such an amazing effort to make cappielow a better experience for all Morton fans and are being let down by some idiots during the big nights at cappielow.

Heard a stat earlier that we've had 80+ bookingsin the championship this season and second highest is Queens park with 50 something. That surely can't be true Although in saying that It feels like we get the same 3 or 4 players booked almost every game.

Noticed that Mullen had Baird (I think) take a goal kick for him right at the end on Saturday. Was hoping it was just time wasting tactics but perhaps more to it. Real shame as he has been immense and major reason towards our great form.

Andy Millens boy told her can leave raith in summer after falling out with manager. Wonder if we will see him as our new rightback next season.

Don't think you can ignore Muirhead if he gets close to 20 goals this season and he's already on 14. Oakley been immense as well past couple of months as has Mullen. Could genuinely name most of the squad and I wouldn't argue. Wilson just edges them all for me at this point though. Been brilliant in multiple positions for us through the bad times and the good.

It's a later kick off than the Friday night game. I imagine the amount of supporters who finish early on Fridays pales in comparison to the amount of fans who work weekends etc so everyone who made the last one should still be able to make it fine. I imagine it may affect the heart fans slightly however I was told they took about 5k to airdrie which we cannot fit in so we only need a portion of that to make it to fill the away attendance.

I'm sure the BBC have their reasons for that whatever they may be. Would much rather both of them but not exactly raging at it. Cappielow under the lights was all I wanted and you can't convince me that there still won't be loads of people making a night of it on the Monday.

Give me Monday night over any of those time slots any day of the week (especially Monday)

Hopefully the money gained from that win will allow us to get another couple of contract renewals done before the end of the season. Downside of a good cup run is that alongside our great for we are finally starting to get noticed for how decent some of our players are so wouldn't be surprised if a few moved on to bigger things in the summer.

Kettlewell very complimentary of Morton and Imrie in his pre match interview on the Motherwell YouTube channel.

It might not be the same now but in the Dougie era I remember being around the stadium one match one day for some reason and it came up that the club had to buy kits for the mascots at full price from Smiths like any other customer.

Blues plays whatever position he's asked to the best of his ability and rarely if ever let's the team down. Every squad needs a player like him that the manager knows he can rely on and will follow his tactical instructions. I do think there have been a couple of times over the years when he's been off his form that a week or two out the team would help him but I can always see why Imrie keeps him in the team. I'm a massive fan and become a bigger fan every year he's been at Morton.
