I've only just watched Murray's interview and there's a lot of waving away of criticism. Oh well it's only our 2nd game of pre season, we've had a lot of turnover in the squad, we have a lot of inexperienced players, inexperienced defenders mean you're just going to concede goals and that's part of football. Get this guy in the sea.

I don't think it can be understated how bad that was. Totally embarrassing standard for a Championship team and we were actually outplayed for a lot of that game. It should actually give the 'ambishun' mob a shake. We didn't lose to 5th tier opposition, while barely laying a glove on them, because we lacked the ambition to do so. We lost because a combination of a crap manager and seemingly crap players managed to fuck up a game against such lowly opposition. The most concerning thing was how outplayed we were for much of that game. It wasn't a plucky, backs-to-the-wall job. LR definitely deserved to win which is not on from Murray's point of view. I think he should have left after the Ross County game at the end of last season, so Murray has no credit to play with. If he loses another couple of these league cup group games he should resign, or be sacked if he doesn't. We can't afford to persist with him.

Ex-Morton striker Lawrence Shankland stinks out world cup.

Looks like an MCT board member has stepped down citing "unreasonable behaviour of a single member". Hope this isn't an ongoing thing, you'll end up driving all leadership away from MCT if you're hounding people to chuck it.

Who picked those socks? Mingin. Smart top at least.

O'Halloran is a coach who is handy to keep registered as a player. Past his best but if our wingers were more productive we wouldn't have needed him to play as much. Gillespie is still a good player and I'm not that fussed he's signed.

Not even a teaser image, so I wonder if there's been a delay in getting them in and just chucking them out for sale asap.

That is a statement signing.

The above could easily have come from the board of GMFC. It is in fact from the board of St Mirren, who have won a cup this year. Some the people throwing the word 'ambition' around to belittle everything the club/MCT are trying to do should see that even our peers, that they see as having left us in the dust, are up against exactly the same hurdles as us. This is a reality check.

You don't understand. The most logical geographical move an aging player can make is actually a statement of intent by the receiving club. MCT must condemn.

Gillespie is a cracking player when fit. My concern with him is not his quality, only if he has the legs for another season in the championship. Budget wise I assume, with Dalrada pulling back a substantial amount of funding, we'll be utterly shoestring for full time players this season. We will need to be brutally selective with the money.

A couple of guys there acting like Murray tried to sign him he turned us down citing "lack of ambition" in writing. Maybe he said "fuck MCT, I'll be back when a rich guy comes in to buy us the league."

Stuart seems to be revelling in having inside information and not telling anyone. And agree above, bizarre attack on the MCT board who are more active now than at any other time.

If Lyon has dropped down a level, screwed the nut a bit and become a more effective and better player then I wouldn't mind him signing. We're not going to have loads of better options of goalscoring midfielders at that level I reckon.
