vikingTON Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 As above. More league titles than any other club in Scotland, apart from life's losers in the east end of Glasgow. I think a precedent may have been set for this by a deceased football club; not sure which one though, as I don't think Third Lanark or Port Glasgow Athletic were that successful. 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

I doubt Gretna were either. Must have been the original Airdrieonians then.
The Morton Mole Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Good idea. I would like to see the club do something to recognise the many relegations we have encountered...
TONofmemories Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 I'd be happy with a star. Geez wan TIME FOR CHANGE!

vikingTON Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 Bump. Turns out there isn't just a single precedent - Aberdeen apparently have two stars above their badge; One for a European Cup Winner's Cup - fair enough - and the second for, erm, a European Super Cup - the continental version of the Renfrewshire Cup, with even fewer contestants and credibility involved. Morton achieving la décima is a far more worthy achievement than that nonsense, and like all the other elite football clubs in the country have fully earned a star to get it right up the minnows, also-rans and losers who will never get close to our level of success. Get it sorted.

TRVMP Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 If possible we should replace the whole strip with a giant star leaving only space for eye holes, a bit like the invincibility power up from Mario Kart.
TaunTon Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I don't like stars. 4 crowns or a bottle of LD would reflect our heritage more appropriately.
Cet Homme Charmant Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 If I'm right then 7 of the 10 have been in the last 51 years (some of the seasons may be out by a year or two)... 63-64 - 2nd division 77-78 - 1st division 83-84 - 1st division 93-94 - 2nd division 02-03 - 3rd division 05-06 - 2nd division 14-15 - league 1 That mean we only won three championships in the first 90 years of our existence. That can't be right surely?
Scapaflow Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 No Thanks. If these where the top division then yes but on these occasions its a No from me forever optimistic
AyrshireTon Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 1949-50 - Division B 1963-64 - Division 2 1966-67 - Division 2 1977-78 - 1st Division (new) 1983-84 - 1st Division 1986-87 - 1st Division 1994-95 - 2nd Division (new) 2002-03 - 3rd Division 2006-07 - 2nd Division 2014-15 - League 1 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.
leyTON Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Here was Me thinking you meant the 1922 triumph. Fond memories of that day. We are not home and dry, we could not even be said to be home and vigorously towelling ourselves off!

gmfc23 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 No championships but 1 Scottish cup and 1 war shield which was played instead of the cup not to bad.
AyrshireTon Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Hard to believe we had no championships at all in the first 75 years of our existence.We did earn a few promotions in those years, but as runners up (or in the very early days, we were ELECTED to join Division 1 from Division 2 - promotion was not automatic and even finishing top didn't guarantee you moving up). McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up.

steveoath Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Has someone actually approached the club with this? MORTON - NEWCASTLE
Davie McArthur Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Has someone actually approached the club with this? Surely no one is mad enough to take the idea seriously? 😠MARTY OUT!!!!!
