good guy Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Ian McCall was on off the ball on Saturday, touched on his time as Morton manager. Was actually very complimentary about the club but very clear he hates Hugh Scott as much as we do. Didn't actually name him as he said he'd get another lawyers letter if he did! Also stated he couldn't believe the "close down like the shipyards" line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also stated he couldn't believe the "close down like the shipyards" line. I remember being at Airdrie for a game when McCall was manager and our support was singing "If you hate Hugh Scott clap your hands". McCall made a point of joining in with the clapping. Fair to say he didn't like Scott.

Jamie_M Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Yeah, was quick to point out he has nothing against the club, blamed it all on Scott and the fact he is still owed money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdc Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Scott was desperate to fire McCall. He even tried to get someone to complain that he had been smoking in a no-smoking area so he could turn it into a disciplinary issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malt Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Right guy, worst possible time. Really regret him not getting the chance to do a proper job for us. Would be happy to have him as gaffer but he has reiterated his loyalty to Ayr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LargsTON Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Been my first choice for years. An excellent manager and comes across well everytime I hear him. "CORNBEEF IS A BELLEND" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrshireTon Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 His tactic of having us play non-football in the Cup tie at Love street against Rangers (even when we went a goal down) annoyed me, but other than that he had potential and was definitely with us at the wrong time. McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up. Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control... That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie. Twenty minutes on the clock and Morton's supporters come alive. A goal which epitomises the control, the arrogance, the cheek of Andy Ritchie.

I’d take him in a second over JJ. It’s somewhat perturbing that was nearly 20 years ago. Edited March 11, 2019 by RealTonKid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. That was the day of a "red card to HS" display in the Morton end. His right hand man (forget the name) was standing near the Caley stand and was getting dog's abuse. The police seized the takings that day so Shug saw hee-haw. Seem the remember a deadco fan being chucked out of our end and that the Earnshaw family were sitting in the row behind me. 1 McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up.

BishopTon Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I remember the day Hugh Scott was at Cliftonhill when he walked in with the fans , when you could still use the terracing side - he was not too happy when many of us said to him we would be watching Morton long after he was gone - horrible wee man...
