TRVMP Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I don't know anything about his off-field life, maybe he's got a day job instead or going to uni or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deego Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 He’s been posting videos of himself doing 1-1 training with Ultimate Soccer (no idea) on Instagram. In fact, the last video posted last week is captioned, “Week 6 of Lewis Strapp’s recovery”. Guess he’s still not ready to be picked up by another club yet. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxLSzUEKsKZ/?igshid=NzZhOTFlYzFmZQ== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Was he not training with the burners a couple of months ago? No harm to Strapp at all, but Imrie got a huge amount of pelters for making his decision in the spring and he stated (IIRC - at one of the fan events) that we would see where Strapp ends up by the end of the summer. Well here we are, and that judgment looks vindicated. A club would sign a player with an already known injury, if they viewed it as a key addition to the squad. Perhaps a call that Imrie deserves subsequent credit for, that we can trade for the Broadfoot weird yin. 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...

port-ton Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 My first thought was he was connected to Strapp due to all the anti Imrie pish. Not exactly subtle. Still best left ignored.

That wasting a wage on a 38 yr old playing amateur football who is total dung and has already cost us several points is ok because he let a former POTY go because he was injured.

If you're not a complete moron and understand that all managers make errors in judgment, of course it is. The only test is whether the manager's collective decisions amount to a net positive or a net negative - and only a complete moron (you, again) would actually dispute that this has been the case. I couldn't care less if one or two deserving players fall by the wayside in the name of collective progress, because I'm not hanging out of any of their arses. GMFC is a professional football club and not a social club. The problem for those who were braying endlessly about 'releasing' a former POTY (in what nick of a team, btw?) is that the market has fully vindicated that decision, what with it being the last week of September tomorrow and Strapp being without a club. The widespread tears and snotters about signing Waters instead look utterly foolish now. That was entirely the correct decision - though we are still badly lacking a backup option. 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.

Popular Post Cet Homme Charmant Posted September 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2023 I liked Lewis a lot for his energy and commitment, and a fair amount of skill as well. But as I've mentioned a few times, his relative lack of height for a defender could limit his opportunities of playing at a higher level where a dominant aerial presence is a prerequisite. No idea of course if that is a factor in the reason he hasn't been snapped up yet, it could also simply be because he's still not yet fully fit, but it wouldn't surprise me if it is. I'm sure he'll find another club eventually, but I suspect it will be at championship level, or lower. I'm sure he do well wherever he ends up, and like all Ton fans I wish him well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine having a life where people do other things bar being a keyboard warrior. So you think signing Broadfoot is one bad decision and letting Strapp go is a good decision ergo they balance each other out. However he has picked Broadfoot on 10 occasions or so therefore making it 10 bad decisions which has cost us severely and why we sit in the bottom 2 of the league. Anyway off you pop to start your homework. Edited September 23, 2023 by thehustler 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoonTon Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Where does the Lewis Strapp is too short thing come from? At 5ft11", he's as tall or taller than loads of other full backs we've had, and loads of full backs at a higher level. I didn't hear people questioning the height of Jamie Brandon or Liam Grimshaw. He's the same height as the likes of Paul McGinn and Stephen Kingsley and taller than the likes of Greg Taylor. Obviously sometimes managers like a really tall full back, but I can't seeing height as being a particular barrier here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
