Mortonbug Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 How did you get on with your letter to the Tilly? I'm still hoarse today! Aren't we all! Make yourself hoarse against Airdrie United too! Unity is what will get this season for Morton up and running! Doesn't seem like its going to get published, letters appear at the Editor's discretion so I'm told! "In a country lacerated by the sharp shards of broken brown-eyed promises, in a world bent low by the burden of disease, war and the price of Thunderbird, who is left to make full account of God and Britain's depleted moral mini bar? Yes, it's the surprising adventures of me, Sir Digby Chicken Caesar!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EanieMeany Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 FFS someone a few posts back was even making up a dialogue between DI and DR. It's quite sad really. Feel free to dismiss what you will, but the fabricated dialogue I proposed is exactly what will happen if any of MJ's inital post is correct. Also, Bug: Unity won't "get this season up and running". Previously, I've called our squad "spineless", an allegation to which the manager has agreed...well, his words were something about "not accepting responsibility". What will get us up and running is players who have the mentality to walk on to the pitch and kick opponents about the place, guys who are willing to take a wee touch of the ball and hit a pass. Bravery and a back-bone will take us forward, not a bunch of chancers who decide that it might be worth the effort to actually play against a half-decent team whenever they fancy it.

mortonjag Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Aren't we all! Make yourself hoarse against Airdrie United too! Unity is what will get this season for Morton up and running! Doesn't seem like its going to get published, letters appear at the Editor's discretion so I'm told! I'm genuinely sorry about your letter. It must have crossed your mind that the Editor may not wish to offend the powers that be! 'UNITY'-that's an emotive word which is as apposite to Greenock Morton as 'democracy' was to Nazi Germany. (whatever made me think of that analogy? ) What sort of 'unity' do you think is most likely to 'get us up and running'? The biggest problem for the Ton right now will not be solved by rose tinted visions of a unified body of happy clappers. Unity will come when the Club wants the fans to become an integral part. So long as the club deliberately perpetuates the current 'divide and rule' policy, we WILL remain divided, and we WILL continue to knock lumps out of each other on this massage board. Do YOU think that accusing our Manager of blowing his budget, making an arse of things and incurring the Chairman's displeasure-that just before a crucial Cup Tie-was a unifying gesture? <_> Feel free to dismiss what you will, but the fabricated dialogue I proposed is exactly what will happen if any of MJ's inital post is correct.

Bravery and a back-bone will take us forward, not a bunch of chancers who decide that it might be worth the effort to actually play against a half-decent team whenever they fancy it. One crucial difference between JM and DI is that the former was spineless and couldn't have motivated a hypermanic jumping bean on speed. I don't believe DI is the finished article by any means, and I'll pass judgement as time goes by-NOT at the end of the season! (That latter philosophy would have had us relegated last time!!!) I have not been overly impressed by results so far. I believe he's cobbled together a very incomplete squad with limited options. On Tuesday night, however, those boys showed that they can produce AND entertain when they want to, and I'm hopeful that we now may go on a good run. Perhaps Measles' post was just the subtle dig in the ribs that DI needed. Perhaps Measles knew that. If so we have lots to thank the spotty dog for!!! :lol: First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then they pretend to befriend you, then you win!

With our form against Hibs and Airdrie's form against Hearts, Saturday will be a turning point. Things are undoubtedly looking better. Perhaps Measles knew that.

mortonjag Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 He seems to know lots about SHARES! OK, MJ, I'll bite. Is SHARES a brand of dog food ? Here's what Measles said: 'If you really want to make a difference at any club you need SHARES, as many as you can possibly get your hands on. Joining the Trust makes more sense to me. They purchase SHARES and the more they get their hands on the stronger they become. It just makes so much sense to me.' Newt-why don't you spend that money Rae knocked back, on the Trust? With an extra £20,000 worth of shares, surely they'd become strong enough to get a reply from Mr Donald!

Gidday MJ, For some strange reason I doubt that Mr Donald's reply would be worth £20 let alone £20,000. I think it is fair to suggest that recent events or lack thereof, show where the Trust sits in the view of Sugar Rae and Mr Donald. Sad but true, IMHO.

mortonjag Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 No retraction Shipman, I just forgot that you only inhabit this small Morton community. It must be galling to find out you don't know everything and your not always right after all. Go give the monkey a jag in the arse Shipman for not being properly informed and put it out of it's misery. Almost 48 hours now Measles! Did the Embra Polis bang you into quarantine as a public nuisance. No retraction of your attack on the Manager. Big Doc says you're a 'liar'. Is Big Doc not properly informed? BTW the monkey says you're a scabby bitch! First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then they pretend to befriend you, then you win!

mortonjag Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 I don't know the context in which that was written, but it doesn't seem too ridiculous to me as a statement. Well you can either see it as totally unspecified-a strong Trust and a skint owner-or a strong Trust and a mega rich Abramovic style owner, where the outcomes would presumably vary, or you can take it in the context of Measles as 'spokesman' for GMST, referring to Douglas Rae as owner.

From the info I have Irons did indeed have almost complete autonomy over the budget and unless DDF has said privately to SpotTon or anyone else that he isn't best pleased this may just be s*** stirring. For the record I am quite pleased with the way Irons has blown his budget. We are a MEAN diddy team!!! SITTING ON THE FENCE!!! m1874 Blog<<<..V..>>>Ernies Blog GMST make your own mind up. "Hey!!!

For the record I am quite pleased with the way Irons has blown his budget. He has stated that signings are not complete, and that he could take on more staff if he could offload surplus. I don't think the squad is 'the finished article' but I equally don't think he's 'made an arse of it' by a long chalk, as Tuesday night's result tends to confirm.

It was absolutely spot on I tells ye My burgers came out the freezer frozen together so that is house the started on the George Foreman before I stepped in about half way through cooking and cut them in half in some kind of poor-mans butcher style. After that they cooked up a treat and, with a bit of red sauce, were superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
