vikingTON Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 What a load of s***e. In over 20 years following Morton I've yet to hear a Morton fan use the word "feenian." You're so out of touch with reality when it comes to Morton at times it's unreal. How many Morton-Celtic and Morton-Hibs matches have taken place in that time (Hibs to a lesser extent)? I hadn't heard racial abuse until Marvin Andrews happened to get a game for Raith in 2007. Lone behold the pond-life found new voice. Morton fans are in danger of developing a 'wha's like us' attitude when in reality there will very likely be bigots in the home end, and supporting the home team. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As there will be supporting the away team, some of whom are/where Morton fans. You see, the trouble with playing an establishment followed by bigots is that the alternative raises its ugly head, if it where Rangers we were playing the other sides cretins would pipe up without fail.

Indeed, but there's also the halfwits who support Morton and indulged in racist abuse of players like Andrews. Does anyone seriously think they feel that sectarianism is beyond the pale?

The dignity of movement of an ice-berg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water. A writer who omits things because he does not know them only makes hollow places in his writing. —Ernest Hemingway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think neither are acceptable but since we are playing Celtic I think the bigotry on show will remain solely in the sectarian terms. We are a MEAN diddy team!!!

The Naitch Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 My sister phoned them earlier on as she hasn't got hers yet. Apparently she didn't tick the special delivery box at the bottom when she ordered them so they haven't been sent out. Could either pay for it over the phone or go and pick them up at Cappielow. I'd give them a phone and see what the script is with your tickets. I went through to Cappielow in person all the way back on 9th December and paid by cash ... so I know the 'Special Delivery' box was ticked. As it happens, my brother phoned today to check up on 'em and they were (apparently) sent out yesterday so I should get them tomorrow.

LargsTON Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Why THe Sarcasm Just Give Me A Plain And Simple Answer. Was only having a laugh. I really don't think anyone will be able to stop you moving if you like. How many Morton-Celtic and Morton-Hibs matches have taken place in that time (Hibs to a lesser extent)?

Morton fans are in danger of developing a 'wha's like us' attitude when in reality there will very likely be bigots in the home end, and supporting the home team. I've heard plenty of racial abuse at Morton games over the years, no debate there and I'm not condoning it. However, I've never heard any abuse using the word feenian, which is what my gripe with port ton is about. "CORNBEEF IS A BELLEND" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be utterly astounded if that word is not used more than a few times when we play Cellic! <_> First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then they pretend to befriend you, then you win!

LargsTON Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I will be utterly astounded if that word is not used more than a few times when we play Cellic! <_> By Morton fans? Not a chance, imo. I was stood right at the fence last time we met and although there was some pretty shocking abuse dished out, that word was never used. NOT that it makes the rest ok.

I thought our support was above that, or are you referring to the Tommy Two Scarf element? Who I don't class as Ton fans anwway.

I'm assuming that 'true' Ton fans are expected to launch all manner of foul mouthed abuse at innocent wee souls from Pishley - in fact noising up the opposition seems to be accepted as part of football those days, so what's wrong with saying 'nasty' things about them Tyms or Hunnes?

To assume that somebody is worthy of derision just because he comes from a particular town is certainly worse in my eyes than berating the Old Firm!
