Malt Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Methil is a dive. Think it is Cowden that has the Goth in as their bar. Was an interesting place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONofmemories Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Im pretty sure one of the locals took his dog to the game and tried to use the chain to threaten folk. Season Moore got sacked. TIME FOR CHANGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ton or NoTON Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Agreed and the locals are tremendous value. Wasn't there once a smashing little clothes shop called Uptown Girl in that neck of the woods? Independent traders used to the be the lifeblood of 50% unemployed towns like Cowden, Lochgelly etc. Lot of them used to think Noel's House Party was high culture!

AyrshireTon Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Agreed and the locals are tremendous value. Sat in the bar on the corner near the ground. About a dozen locals but only saw two different faces among them. 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 January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 January 30th 2000 - Morton 1-1 Brechin City (Anderson) A John Anderson goal earned us a replay which would not be played until the 8th February. 1999 - Morton 1-0 Stranraer (Twaddle) http://youtu.be/hnncba6iUFI 1993 - LIvingston 1-1 Morton (McArthur) 1988 - Queen of the South 1-2 Morton (Robertson, Alexander) Our only away win of the season as we took a break from being pumped in the Premier to book a trip to Tyncastle for the next round. 1985 - Rangers 3-1 Morton (Sullivan) The replay of the "snow game" from earlier. http://youtu.be/QhwKcxzQ0qg 1982 - Morton 0-0 Partick Thistle Others - in 1960 we lost 1-0 at home to East Stirlingshire in the cup. 1937 we beat Murrayfield amateurs 6-1 in a cup replay. 1943 - we beat Albion Rovers 5-1 in the Scottish Southern League, a war-time league set up. We'd finish as league runners up behind Rangers. 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.

AyrshireTon Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 January 31st - 2015 - Forfar 1-2 Morton (McKee, MacDonald) The title charge continues... http://youtu.be/2SWPDRa2YaE 2009 - Morton 0-0 St. Johnstone 2004 - Arbroath 2-2 Morton (Williams, Weatherson) We let more ground slip as the crack appear in our title hopes. 1998 - Partick Thistle 3-3 Morton (Reid, Duffield, Twaddle) Brian Reid only ever seemed to score against Partick, and they hated him. This I remember for the fact that a group of us made a day of it in Glasgow. After a dull-ish start and the score still 0-0 one of my mates went for a pie, and we shoved money in his hand and gave him multiple orders. When he came back out from under the stand we were leading 2-1 and he was miffed at having missed 3 goals. Our celebrations at going 3-1 up caused one of us to knock his pie flying. Morton being Morton chucked away a two goal lead against a side who had looked well beaten. 1996 - St. Mirren 0-1 Morton (Cormack) The night Peter was forgiven all previous sins. A peach of a finish past a keeper who ought to have been sent off in the first half. 1995 - Morton 1-2 Kilmarnock (Anderson) Cup replay against a team two leagues above. Leading through a John Anderson header, Alan Mahood passed up a gift of a chance to make it 2-0. Alex Totten (who had knack of managing to beat us) stuck on Steve Maskrey. Killie forced extra time and went on to win it as we visibly tired. http://youtu.be/t1D6lBEH-0k 1987 - Berwick Rangers 0-2 Morton (Alexander, McNeil) Taking a break from our title push, we got the job done. The draw gave us St. Mirren at home. 1981 - Morton 1-0 Kilmarnock (Rooney) Couple of older ones which stand out - 1970 - Dundee United 5-4 Morton 1914 - Airdrieonians 7-1 Morton 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.

Likewise he missed the first three goals and I am sure he returned from the toilet to see our third hit the back of the net. 20.1.09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 February 1st - 2014 - Falkirk 1-1 Morton (Imrie) Here's Falkirk's overly-long highlights. http://youtu.be/zQS6WOHD-BI 1997 - St. Johnstone 1-0 Morton Game delayed for nearly 45 minutes as the Morton team bus was stuck in a traffic jam. Great scenes behind the goal when Wylie saved the first half penalty. http://youtu.be/0fTUA5YL3_o 1994 - Airdrieonians 2-2 Morton (McEwan 2) A rare away point in that relegation season. 1992 - Hamilton 0-0 Morton 1989 - Airdrieonians 0-1 Morton (John Boag) A cracking cup replay at Broomfield. Just before the break, John Boag collected a short corner, turned and dribbled into the box before sticking it under John Martin at his near post, causing bedlam in Section A. We played the second half mostly on the break as they pushed for an equaliser. Was funny seeing John Martin coming up for a couple of injury time corners. 1986 - Airdrieonians 1-2 Morton (Doak, Robertson) Our "season of two halves" continued its revival. 1975 - Morton 1-1 Rangers (Hazel) 1964 - East Fife 3-1 Morton (Campbell) Our only league defeat of the season. 1936 - Morton 11-1 Blairgowrie (Scottish Cup) 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.

Remember getting back on the bus and someone's arse had collapsed in the wee toilet at the back of the bus. Terrible first hour of the journey home. Well in putting these clips up AT Cheers.We had an unpleasant trip back from Methil one Tuesday night. Heaters on the bus were broken and everyone sat shivering for two hours, with one guy at the back shouting “are the heaters on yet?†every 10 minutes.

AyrshireTon Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 February 2nd - 2016 - Morton 0-1 Hibernian 2008 - Morton 0-2 Queen of the South Our reward for seeing off Gretna in the previous round. There were full highlights on Sportscene. Sean O'Connor scored a header at the start of the second half and with Weatherson and Wake struggling to put away any chances, we were caught on the break late on. Queens got to the final that season, beating Aberdeen 4-3 in the semi. Game was notable only for the Queens fan getting lifted for being naked in the WDE. 2002 - Hamilton 2-1 Morton (Chris Aitken) 1991 - Morton 0-0 Falkirk 1985 - Rangers 2-0 Morton 1974 - Morton 0-3 Falkirk 1924 - Morton 1-0 Celtic (Brown) 1895 - Morton 4-3 Port Glasgow Athletic A couple of months earlier, PGA had beaten us 9-1.

AyrshireTon Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 February 3rd - 2013 - Dundee 5-1 Morton (Tidser) Having seen of both Albion Rovers and Turriff United after replays, we travelled to Dens for the 5th round. Level at the break, we capitulated in the second half. There was a clip on Sportscene which thankfully hasn't made its way onto youtube. Jim McAllister scored Dundee's 1st. 2007 - Motherwell 2-0 Morton Having seen off Killie in the previous round, we took a following of nearly 4000 to Fir Park. Spirited display from the team but ultimately they were too strong for us. 2001 Morton 1-1 Alloa Athletic (Whalen) http://youtu.be/miodJ0lNYEw 1990 - Morton 2-0 Alloa Athletic (O'Hara, McNeil) 1975 - Morton 0-3 Aridrieonians Scottish Cup 3rd round replay 1974 - Morton 1-0 Raith Rovers (Johnstone) Scottish Cup 3rd round replay 1973 - Hibernian 2-0 Morton Scottish Cup 3rd round Also, 1894 - Abercorn 2-1 Morton A result from our first ever league season.

Madton Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 [quote name="AyrshireTon" post="1084179" 2007 - Motherwell 2-0 Morton Having seen off Killie in the previous round, we took a following of nearly 4000 to Fir Park. Spirited display from the team but ultimately they were too strong for us. Incredible support that day. Think we had about 5000 at home to killie the round before. If we drew Motherwell away rather than Dumbarton at home this year, we would be lucky to take 500-600. Changed days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers were knocked out by Dunfermline the day after we beat Killie, Celtic's game at Livingston was the day after our Motherwell game, so I guess the bigot brothers had nothing else to do that day.
