vikingTON Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 In reference to the Scottish Sun's excuse to trawl through their Gordon Smith column archives today, the subject of summer football reared its head. Any ideas or opinions? 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
HMS Willow Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 In reference to the Scottish Sun's excuse to trawl through their Gordon Smith column archives today, the subject of summer football reared its head. Any ideas or opinions? He already said just after he was appointed that Summer Football was a thing that'd be a very long time off, if at all, although he liked the idea of it. Some sing of Celtic, Rangers And some of Motherwell Of Hibs and Partick Thistle And other teams as well But of all the famous football teams There’s one that they’ve forgotten With a Ra Ra Ra and a Cha Cha Cha IT’S THE FAMOUS GREENOCK MORTON
standman Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 I know if football had just been invented there is no way that you'd logically play in January and February and ask fans to come out in the most awful weather. However I feel we are conditioned to having the summer months off and to be honest I like the summer break to persue other interests, go on holidays and soforth. So logic would dictate that football is played in the best montrhs but people have other fish to fry in those summer months. Let's rock !

HMS Willow Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 The thing is football would be competing with too many other summer Sports, whereas not as many take place in the winter.

Spoken like a true politician-rapid learning curve GS! First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then they pretend to befriend you, then you win! YER BARD
Wee Dublin End Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 summer football - no way !!! Have you ever watched a game of Italian or Spanish football ?, no-one runs , it's too hot football is best played outdoors in winter , that way no-one de-hydrates. the goalie also doesnt need to wear a poofy baseball cap to keep the sun out of his eyes and therefore doesnt need to look like one of the pet shop boys. For spectators it's best also in winter because that's when pies and bovril are best ; and it's good to go and get warmed up in the pub afterwards. People who would like summer football I suppose must be the same people who ''choose'' to sit in a grandstand in winter and get piles insted of jumping around to keep warm on the terracing.
