  1. Today
  2. Ahem, I'm sure he likes a 'banger'.
  3. They are all wet though? Seriously, unless its something like Tennents Super Lager which is fucking revolting and avoidable at all costs, you tend not to notice the strength until you get pissed quicker than you normally would. I always thought that most beer and lagers was between 4%-5% ABV as standard, and occasionally there were a few north of the 5% mark. Still, it is indicative of the times we live in when football supporters are being 'warned' about the strength of the local beer. Especially as most who will be travelling would have already experienced it (or similar) over the years.
  4. Yesterday
  5. The strength of average Lager in the UK started off very low in the 70s and 80s then peaked in the late 90s - Stella was 5.2% and has been decreasing ever since. Tennents is 4% and I want to say Carling is 4.2%. In the US light beers are generally 4.2% and normal lager is 5%. In Germany it tends not to go lower than 4.8% and even session beers can be north of 5.1%. In Poland you just can't find lager under 5. It's worth noting the same beers can be different by country. Stella is 5% in the USA.
  6. That song is an absolute banger. Amazing what you can do with a I, vi, ii, V progression. Put a beat under it and something catchy on top, Holly's your confirmed bachelor uncle.
  7. Seen this news story today: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/scotland-fans-warned-german-beer-32461857 Since when have Scottish Football supporters needed a 'warning' about the strength of Beer, wherever it is, most of which are already readily available in a Wetherspoons or a UK supermarket.
  8. But the occasion is already as 'elevated' as its likely to be. And if someone with a smart tailored dinner suit is sitting next to someone in a Tesco bin bag, well, one is kinda being upstaged which kinda defeats that argument. To be fair, the majority of folk that go to these kind of things would already know how to dress for them, so it shouldnt be an issue. However, we're a club supported by predominantly white, working class males - we're not a 'Lodge' and we aren't golf club wankers* - the kind of attire most people would wear to a day in hospitality should be fine. *at least most of us aren't. reminds me of this:
  9. I draw the line at clip-on ties. It elevates the occasion if people put the effort in. It makes it feel more special. It is also, counterintuitively, egalitarian: nobody can really upstage anyone else if there's a dress code because it means the expectations are clear and people won't feel under- or over-dressed. Black tie is obviously an exception but people also mistake dressing smartly for dressing expensively. I generally wear slacks/chinos and a button-down collared shirt each day and these cost me significantly less than a graphic t-shirt, for example.
  10. Smart (or Smart-ish) Dress should be acceptable, otherwise the place will look like a queue for the Lourdes bus. Jesus would go down a treat, turning water into wine etc. He'd save his table a fortune. Next.
  11. Dressing smart pisses me right off. On that basis Hitler would be welcomed with open arms whilst Jesus would be told to bolt! Same shit at hospitality....what is wrong with society?? Oh aye.....100 bucs for the night plus bevvy and you want people to pay another 100 to dress "smart". What a pile of shit.
  12. Is that what we have to reduce ourselves to if we are having a 150 year knees-up? Sitting about in Tesco clobber? Seriously, Fuck that.
  13. A mere six days later everything is here. I will say the polo shirt is acceptable but not the best quality. The badge is reverse-sewn and the FC bit looks slightly dodgy as others have pointed out. It's thin material and feels very artificial. However, if you want to support the club, there's nothing wrong with it. Just don't expect bespoke craftsmanship. The rest of the tat is fine, if clearly high-margin (for example the actual magnet on the fridge magnet is tiny and I reckon a stiff breeze would knock if off the fridge) and again if your aim is to support the club I recommend it, but if you're looking for top-quality items to last a lifetime, this isn't it.
  14. It's 150 years, rent one if you have to or nip to Tesco, I'm sure they do them for well under a hundred.
  15. Last week
  16. The average Morton supporter would normally only wear a black tie for a funeral though. Smart dress should be sufficient for these kind of things.
  17. Fair point. I'd completely forgotten that, in fact. That should be black tie imvho.
  18. It's not the 150th anniversary Gala Dinner though. That's pencilled in for October.
  19. Honestly I don't think black tie was unreasonable for the club's 150th anniversay.
  20. I wonder if the unforeseen circumstances surrounding the rescheduling of the AGM were that the notice was provided to shareholders on 19th March, which is less than the required 14 days notice required for a 28th March meeting. I may be wrong, as my knowledge of company law is somewhat limited, but I believe the new date of the AGM now falls out with the required ten month timescale from the date of the accounts, which would have been 31st May 2023.
  21. Two climb downs in 24 hours - first the dinner is reduced from £99 plus VAT to £99 including VAT, and now changed from black tie to formal. Add that to the “unforeseen circumstances” for delaying the AGM and things don’t appear to be going too well at Cappielow. Does nobody check things before they go public?
  22. A step in the right direction but still tone deaf to many fans in Inverclyde who are experiencing a cost of living crisis. I remain to be convinced this is the right message to be sending out for a fan owned club. Just seen the event is now no longer black tie. I can only assume the pushback to the original proposal has required a response.
  23. If I remember rightly Imrie has previously commented he did try to get a couple of players in on loan but others were able and willing to offer/contribute more than Morton.
  24. It's maybe the case that Dougie was reasonably happy with the squad and didn't anticipate we'd be so affected by injuries in February and March. He already has another striker lined up for next season ) and I would hope that Oakley could be persuaded to extend his contract so other than a short term signing until the summer, what did we really need prior to the transfer window closing? We were on a decent run and it would have been reasonable to expect that to continue in some shape or form.
  25. Was he not charged a wee while ago for alleged untoward shenanigans up a close? Did it ever go to court?
