dunning1874 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Can we take a moment to appreciate Darren Cole's contribution to Livingston's impending relegation? Truly devastated he didn't remain with us.

vikingTON Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I can't stand snake employees at the club trying to worm their way into the dugout themselves with no credible justification (Grady/McManus) or undermining the managerial staff by being generally embittered, useless hangers-on from the club's old players' network (Collins). Draw a Venn diagram of those two blights on this once-proud football club and you'll find 'Hoppy' in the middle: sulking that the club wouldn't hand over the first team reins to a reserve coach with no credible experience, then bizarrely kept on to stink out the Shiels regime from within and leak stories to his mates. And because of that, I take great delight in seeing his current plight. It couldn't really happen to a more deserving club or manager. 1 2 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.

(I can't do a multi quote with this machine)... but I'm not sure your typically scathing response is an accurate depiction of Hoppy's involvement with the club. it was clear that he and Shiels rarely got within spitting range of each other when they were on the touchline. Maybe he was an unwanted present from Dougie - which Shiels didn't want to open. But Kenny hardly covered himself in glory with his inflexible approach to the game with a limited squad. Maybe if he had 'managed' Hoppy he could've got more out of him and the team at the same time. I don't really have any inside on this tbf 1 Show Racism the Red Card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) That's a remarkable amount of buts and maybes and suppositions for someone who in the end admits to having "no inside track". Your (gormless, happyclapping) opinion isn't exactly held in high regards in this particular circle either so I think I'll be filing your revisionism in the bin. After all, I'm sure Shiels isn't losing sleep over having missed out on the lost 'talents' of a relegation-bound diddy.

vikingTON Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) He's a significant Morton shareholder And what about it? This is a professional football club: not a glorified golf club that gives hauners to its membership. and I fail to understand the reflex hate reaction towards a guy with Morton in his heart who is having a tough time with a failing club. It's not "reflex hate" - it's justified contempt. As you would have noted had you actually read the post for comprehension and not in a laughable attempt at defending the 'honour' of some jobber ex-player. Then again what else would one expect from the clown car poster in question.... Surely not more word salad? Well more from yourself, certainly. Better luck next time.

Popular Post SramTon Posted May 7, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2016 Granted I miss quite a lot... but I don't really get the Hoppy hate that VT and Toby share. VT was Kenny Shiel's biggest cheerleader before and after he got the job. Given a choice of admitting that Shiels was the wrong man at the wrong time and his tenure was an abject failure, or instead shifting the blame onto the nearest available stooge in Hoppy, there was only going to be one result. 4 Look at her riding pillions on Davy’s sea-bike, carrying an apoplectic macaw in a silver hoop. Oh, Morton, let’s go there this winter! Or learning the Japanese chinchona from that Kobe group, in a dress that looks like a blowtorch rising from one knee, and which should sell big in Texas. Morton, is that real fire? Happy, happy little girl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Feel free to point out where David Hopkin has been given the blame for the 2013-14 season; oh that's right - you can't. A bizarre attempt to segway from an analysis of Hopkin's conduct (delusional bid for the managerial post; failure as caretaker; failure of application; bitterness; leaking claims to his plethora of hangers-on and fawning dupes like Dr, Zhivago; slithering out the door in a huff) in favour of 'but... 10-2!'. Fooling absolutely no-one. Still, it seems an apt moment for the thread to move back on topic. Ex-Morton player, failed Morton assistant manager and all-round embittered mess David Hopkin manages to relegate Livingston to the third tier. Dr. Zhivago. 1 1 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.
