Pretty much sums up Hopkins' and the owners tenure at that time Edited July 31, 2023 by bob_the_builder here today, gone to hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave a massive roar to the Cowshed after doing a tackle right in front of the shed. And that was the extent of his Morton career. Some roar BTW.

dunning1874 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 We started that day at Ayr with a back three of Van Schaik, Grant and McLean, with Muirhead and Tumilty as wing backs. Grant went off injured after about 25 minutes and then we had various and increasingly hilarious changes of shape including Muirhead on the left of a back three, Muirhead at left back, McAlister at left back, Van Schaik at left back with McAlister at centre back. We could have saved ourselves a lot of trouble just by sacking Hopkin on the spot that day. When someone tells you you can't write a player off after one game, you only need to mention Van Schaik to prove them wrong.

TONofmemories Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Weird one him playing in that farmers league. He's either on really good money, or the European games is the main draw for him. He's absolutely pissing it most seasons. Doesn't seem to be much of a test TIME FOR CHANGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, he looked very poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, he looked very poor. Henk van Shite was punted for his hopeless displays on the park and no amount of bullshit cover from Hopkin changes that reality. How many other players that we paid real, actual money for were released due to injury weeks later*? *As opposed to those who should have been released: see Diack, Iain for starters. 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...

TRVMP Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Spanish third tier. They're one of the bigger clubs in it. They used to be the biggest until the rise of Villarreal. They had some huge problems in the mid 2000s - fan boycotts, attendances in the hundreds etc. But they're traditionally a big club, aiming for promotion. That's a great move for him because it's a very visible club in a major footballing country. Good luck to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
