Whoever voted for McCrorie needs to have their details taken, barred from going to Cappielow ever again and forced to watch egg-chasing with Zhivago every weekend.

 

Ramsbottom, Scully and probably Caraux make up the podium for me.

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

Caraux gets a pass for from me for that one performance against Celtic.

He wasn’t great - but also think he suffered from Shiels’ style - he clearly wasn’t comfortable playing out from the back and it caused panic stations all around him.

I'd pick Ramsbottom over a fair few on that list. Adam and Brennan were particularly guff.

 

I didn't see enough of Brennan to judge but there is absolutely no way that Adam was worse than Ramsbottom. By my count Ramsbottom was directly at fault for goals in six out of the eight games he played, which is a remarkable figure, and he didn't keep a clean sheet in any of them at all. It's a monumentally bad record.

Don’t remember Alistair Deans - was he a reserve that made one or two appearances?

 

Ramsbottom without a doubt.

 

He was in the U19s and got called up to the squad when both first team goalkeepers were injured (Cuthbert and Stewart IIRC). He played down at Rugby Park in a League Cup match, and maybe one or two matches other than that. I'm fairly sure it was at the same time as we re-registered Davie Wylie to sit on the bench. 

 

I was the year below Alistair in school. He was a decent guy. 

You address me by my proper title, you little bollocks!

Hope this doesn't lead to Big Sam having a case for constructive dismissal.

 

Brennan was also very poor.

 

It's not Ramsbottom's fault, he didn't sign or select himself. I have absolutely no concerns about his attitude or his work-rate, he's simply not up to the task.

I'd dispute that, but of course take on board that you've been out the country the last few months so won't have picked up on it.

 

I'm no expert on how a player should be warming up as a substitute, but from watching him at half time on a number of occasions this season, I don't think it's beneficial for a reserve goalkeeper to go onto the park at half time wearing a massive great overcoat, with his hands in his pockets for the duration and kicking a ball about with someone or doing a couple of keepy ups.

 

Surely it would be much better to have a few crosses flung into him or some shots hit at him to keep him on his toes? As I say, I'm no expert, but I often joke wit those around me that he'd be as well having a fag and checking his coupon at half time for all the "work" he appears to be doing.

Our half time warm-ups are a joke. For a while under that serpent Darren Taylor we appeared to have some coherent exercises and drills in place (like most opposing teams seem to when they come to Cappielow) but that has long since been abandoned for just random kick abouts.

That annoys me too. Even if there's not a coach available to take it, it's not difficult to leave instructions for players at half time. It's not just the warming up, it's the getting the me mentality right and being focused on the game rather than having a laugh.

I'm sure that was Ryan McWilliams that payed at Rugby Park that night, unless I'm missing a game somewhere in my memory.
