dmc Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Me to Muz. I was to stay at my grans that night as my mum and dad were out for my mums birthday. Was soaked as i stood behind the Sinclair Street goal. Got the train to the West Station, fish supper from Orangefield chippy then up to my grans on a total high and the game was on Sportscene that night to. Brilliant memories. That strip is one of my all time favourite Morton Strips. Was made by Pony. Jeez, Colin, me & you are about the same age & I don't remember any of these games! Hopefully not early dementia! Hoping more recreational though RIP New Order... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant to see that... that was my first ever game, was sitting in the Wee Dublin End. Was at Broomfield a few years later for our next First Division title clincher. Waited a long time, but this year will be number 3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for this one. My Dad took me and I'm pretty sure Forza with a few other school pals to this one. We were in the Sinclair St end trying to catch the orange 'Striker' footballs being booted into the crowd. Great to see again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How good could we be if we had crowds like that week in, week out? Top flight footie, cup finals, euro adventures... Along the track the train came puffin, Morton 1 Celtic nuffin.

We were in the Sinclair St end trying to catch the orange 'Striker' footballs being booted into the crowd. Great to see again. I didn't start going until the following season in the premier. I saw two games in the top league and we failed to score. The first game of the next season was at home to montrose. You and i were in the Sinclair st end above the trunstiles. John McNeil scored a penalty and it was the first ever Morton goal i saw. You were jumping about mental but i didnt know what to do hahaha!! I just kinda stood there wi a riddy:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 A wee oddity - Morton are the away side at Scapa. 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.

AyrshireTon Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Mixed emotions for this one - a great night of football with the Ton live on Sky! Travesty of a result, though.

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.

Hoping more recreational though It's amazing what the memory remembers when jogged, Davie. Was watching the Killie game there to. Went to that and had my pal on my shoulders as Jim Duffy lifted the trophy. We had a diso on at the Grovy afterwards and I couldn't get the smile off my face that night. Nearly got caught with my LD on the way into the disco to If you have a problem with me, text me. If you dont have my number then you don't know me well enough to have a problem with me.

etta crouTON Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 remember that game, good finish by Tweedie thought he looked a good player whatever happened to him? I forget off hand, but anybody who's really interested in this stuff should get a read of Roger Graham's book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappiecat Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Great stuff AT, thank you again. That Motherwell vid took me back, is there a better place to be anywhere than a packed Cappielow under floodlights against a 'big' team? A total contrast to the Clydebank game. I got a bit teary eyed seeing the shed like that again. It's got me thinking about the Thistle game and made me realise just how important it could be to all of us. COME ON YE 'TON!!

GiGi Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 What a lovely Ton strip too. Peter Weatherson is the greatest player since Ritchie, and should be assigned 'chairman for life' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrshireTon Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 none with wee Robbie Earnshaw? cant seem to find any of those 4 weeks he was with us in the 99-00 season Give me time. Here's the first Motherwell game - yes, it's a 0-0 draw but to those who were there, it was a cracking day out. 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.

Young Brian Reid, hands down Gerry Andersons greatest work. Along the track the train came puffin, Morton 1 Celtic nuffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
