TRVMP Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 In around an hour, Jonatan Johannson's TPS take on RoPS in a bottom of the table clash. TPS are winless in seven, after a brief rally in August, while RoPS have just five points to TPS' 12. You'd have to think that if TPS can't beat RoPS at home then JJ's job will be in jeopardy.

If Morton's goals per game got anywhere close to your riddies per post rate we'd win the championship at a canter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon he might still turn out to be excellent centre back, but he's clearly not a right back and as that's where he played every week he was dreadful. Even in the unlikely event he goes on to play at the highest level and win the Champions League several times, it won't change that fact. It's amazing how people don't get this. Similarly it's obvious that Barrie McKay didn't try a leg for us and wasn't that good as a result. But he had excellent attributes that ended up serving him well at a higher level. If he leads Swansea/Fleetwood/whoever to a Leicesteresque Premier League title, he was still pretty poor for Morton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Welsh was poor because he was played out of position would you blame the manager or the player? We always seem to target the player regardless. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Ricki Lamie toiled so horribly at left back, Duffy got more of the blame than Lamie did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPS thump hapless Rovaniemi 4-1. Nonetheless they remain second last in the table, 4 points behind Haka but with a game in hand. If they do end up finishing 2nd last, they enter a relegation playoff against the team placed second in the First Division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Toby Posted October 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2020 I see Cambridge United are top of League Two with Jack Iredale a regular in the side. Nice to see a popular figure from his time at Cappielow doing well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waverley Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I still remember a colleague of mine ranting about how good a midfield of Joe Mason and Jim Townsend would be. It almost came to fruition but, unfortunately, Joe left shortly before Jim arrived and my colleague's wish became only a dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post vikingTON Posted October 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Welsh caught napping by the 14 time European trophy winners for the opening goal, which comes as a huge surprise to absolutely nobody who saw him getting roasted by such crack European outfits like Inverness Caley Thistle. Edited October 23, 2020 by vikingTON 3 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...
Popular Post vikingTON Posted October 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2020 Ships both goals, gets slaughtered by Gordon Strachan at half-time for being hopelessly out of his depth and subbed off at half time. A stunning victory for DOT over the boo boys! 5 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.

TRVMP Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Maybe I'm getting soft in my old age but it's not nice to see a young player suffer like that. It's not his fault he lined up against Milan. He didn't pick himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
