The Naitch Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 I never rated him BH-a huge disappointment-are you saying he just didn't try? I think that's exactly what it was. Came to the club with a decent reputation, and there's no doubting his ability. He just didn't put a shift in for the team and, as BH said, his attitude stank. "To be the man, you gotta beat the man"
dunning1874 Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 McLuskey's track record suggested he had the ability, but we never once saw him have a good game in a Morton shirt. And to think that Collins had the captaincy taken away for that useless b******. Dylan Kerr's the only player I can think of who had a worse attitude than McLuskey. Does anyone know where he is now?

Boozehound Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 I never rated him BH-a huge disappointment-are you saying he just didn't try? Honestly Jag, I think that might've been the case. The guy had a superb reputation before he came and, on occasion, I thought he looked the part. I always thought he had a superiority complex and struggled to motivate himself at what he perceived to be a diddy team. An internet fud is still a fud.
le_chien_manquee Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 I always thought he had a superiority complex and struggled to motivate himself at what he perceived to be a diddy team. he certainly made it clear that he thought his team-mates were diddy players. loudly and regularly. he was terrible for team morale. the guy below loves the boaby.

With this mob: http://www.richmondsc.com.au/ I believe he's their captain.
Colkitto Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Cowboy had us playing some of the best football in years. His downfall was not strengthening in the transfer window. especially midfield where it was too light weight (still is). He had problems in the dressing room too that didn't help. I believe he loved his time a Cappielow as I spoke to him on a couple of occaisions and you could feel the enthusiasm from him. Football needs people like Cowboy. I really hope he does well. Don't blame me I voted Yes!!!! - We tried to tell you !!!!!
dunning1874 Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 With this mob: http://www.richmondsc.com.au/ I believe he's their captain. Take a look at the coach's corner section of that site: "Our Captain and team leader Stuart McCluskey, is a huge plus for the club, as he leads the team very well through his experience and natural leadership qualities".

theoceanfloor Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Dylan Kerr's the only player I can think of who had a worse attitude than McLuskey. Really? How so? I don't recall Kerr having a particularly bad attitude. Unless I've missed/forgotten something I thought he was just a bad player by the time he got to Cappielow!
TAFKAC Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 i know who i blame for our collapse in 2004, and it isn't john mccormack. cowboy was a victim of a clique of idiot players and dougie's disastrous loyalty to them. if we'd fired 4 players instead of our manager, we'd have been in the first division long before now. atrocious record my arse. Agree completely. I still remember the way he made the players run out individually towards the cowshed before the Peterhead game. Anyone who could make you believe that Gucci could deliver must have some managerial expertise. Good luck with Albion Rovers. "I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig.

vikingTON Posted May 30, 2007 Author Posted May 30, 2007 Tactics against Hamilton away spring to mind. We had tactics that day? If I was manager, i wouldnt have had the nerve to stay on. his time had come. If he had resigned then, we could still have sorted the mess out and won promotion 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

hayfever Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Not much point in moaning about what's gone before, we're back in the First now, and that's all that matters Very true, and i'm sure he'll do well at his new club, and the reasons for our implosion have been well documented and i'd rather not dwell on them (or think about the second half of that season) ever again!! I do agree with an earlier post about the quality of football we played under cowboy in the 2nd division right enough, a 4 - 0 win away to Arbroath sticks out in particular... What Carew can do with a ball, I can do with an orange
JonaTon Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 McLuskey's track record suggested he had the ability, but we never once saw him have a good game in a Morton shirt. I totally agree with that, McCluskey was terrible for Morton. Twitter - JMitchell82

Tooth & Nail Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Can't believe that he has Paul Martin on board as his No 2! (ex Dumbarton Manager and QP Captain!) DIVISION 2 LEAGUE WINNERS 06/07
theoceanfloor Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Can't believe that he has Paul Martin on board as his No 2! (ex Dumbarton Manager and QP Captain!) Why not? Hardly earth shattering...
The Naitch Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Why not? Hardly earth shattering... Exactly, he played under McCormack at Queens Park so know each other well. "To be the man, you gotta beat the man"
Tooth & Nail Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Why not? Hardly earth shattering... Just not who I thought he would have taken. Good luck to them tho. DIVISION 2 LEAGUE WINNERS 06/07
