JonaTon Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Who would you choose as the best or most influential player for the club for the past ten years? Peter Weatherson. Twitter - JMitchell82

dunning1874 Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Edit to say - Chris Millar might be viewed as the best player retrospectively by some on here (in view of the fact that he's playing well in the SPl ?) I don't believe the was that well regarded when he was here. Some on here had him as a 'lightweight s***ebag' I believe. Very true, he wasn't well regarded by many. I wasn't one of them though. Anyway, I had a think after that post and I've missed a few better players who were just in this decade. Millar would be the best of the Rae era, but Ally Maxwell, Paul Fenwick, John Anderson, Paul Hartley, Harry Curran and Robert Earnshaw were all better and played for us in 99/00 or 00/01.

vikingTON Posted December 28, 2009 Author Posted December 28, 2009 Paul McGowan was a far better player for us than Millar IMO, it's worth remembering that Millar's place wasn't particularly enshrined that title-winning season. I didn't want to press my opinion on the thread first, but I'd say Weatherson's record speaks for itself, and I'm hardly one of his happy-clappers. 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
chris_mceleny Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 vt he isnt even the best player in the morton team now you oxymoron
vikingTON Posted December 28, 2009 Author Posted December 28, 2009 vt he isnt even the best player in the morton team now you oxymoron Player of the Decade? I'd say he is. Peter Weatherson I think is the 5th highest goalscorer still playing in Scottish football. He's nearing 100 goals for Morton since arriving in 2003. You can argue all day and night about his application, what he could have acheived and whether he should have or should still moev on for the benefit of the player and/or club, but the figures speak for themselves. He played a crucial win in our title-winning season.

chris_mceleny Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 its bit of a defacto bunch of stats is it not. if anyone else had been around scottish football for that length or been at cappielow for that amount of time i would expect no less from a striker

chris_mceleny Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 really really crap retort there. go to your room now and use your new christmas socks edit to add - surely the 4 scorers above him have?
Bryan Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 vt he isnt even the best player in the morton team now you oxymoron that poor attempt at humour needs a deafening silence "Boy, I got vision, and the rest of the world wears bifocals."
vikingTON Posted December 28, 2009 Author Posted December 28, 2009 really really crap retort there. go to your room now and use your new christmas socks edit to add - surely the 4 scorers above him have? It wasn't a retort, it was stating fact. http://www.scottishleague.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2122 The top 4/5 above him are Kris Boyd, Craig Brewster (still registered? ancient), Paul Tosh (dinosaur), Stevie Crawford (glue factory) and I think Barry Wilson. Weatherson's much younger than all his counterparts except the soon-to-be all time SPL scorer.

Bawheid Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Peter weatherson.......................by a land slide eat drink and be merry for tommorrow you may be radioiactive

I didn't want to press my opinion on the thread first, but I'd say Weatherson's record speaks for itself, and I'm hardly one of his happy-clappers. It's also worth remembering that, in my opinion anyway, we'd have been relegated in 07/08 if we didn't have Chris Millar. He carried that team. I'm not arguing that he's more influential than Weatherson by the way, but he's a better player.

gmsc-doco-1874 Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 It's also worth remembering that, in my opinion anyway, we'd have been relegated in 07/08 if we didn't have Brian Wake He scored the goals that kept us up. There we go chris millar did play an influential part though doing similarly what jamie stevenson done at alloa.
Kekkoman Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 Either Chris Millar, John Maisano or Andy McLaren, probably pick Andy out of them http://www.last.fm/user/kekkoman87
dunning1874 Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 There we go chris millar did play an influential part though doing similarly what jamie stevenson done at alloa. Oh I agree, we needed Wake too. Millar was our best player by a mile over the whole season though. Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Oh Lord, Brian Wake
GiGi Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 Peter Weatherson definitely. Followed by Millar or Greacen. Peter Weatherson is the greatest player since Ritchie, and should be assigned 'chairman for life'
