Cet Homme Charmant Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 57 minutes ago, Toby said: On a serious note though, at what point does it stop becoming funny and becomes par for the course? Back in 2003-04 there was a terribly bitter rivalry between Morton and Airdrie, and at the time, they of course came out on top. But once we were promoted and established ourselves in the second tier, whilst they yo-yoed and eventually settled as a third tier club, the ill-will dissipated. If they come up this year it might return, but I suspect it’ll take a while to reach the levels of the collapse season. Falkirk are now, to all intents and purposes, a League One club. It’s their level, and they’re kidding themselves to suggest otherwise. Why are we laughing at them? They’ve actually had an incredible season- making the play-offs for the first time since relegation 4 (four) years ago and managing to dispose of the behemoths that are Wick Academy, Alloa and Darvel before the monumental shock of toppling Ayr United to reach Hampden is a fantastic effort. Even reaching the semi-finals of the play-offs is a feather on McGlynn’s cap, and managing two goals in a narrow 7-2 defeat is an incredible achievement. The perception that Falkirk have failed this season gives them a status that is completely unmerited. They haven’t failed any more than Montrose or Kelty Hearts have, it’s what they are. I still allow myself a wee chuckle when I remember your description of them as 'league 1 stalwarts' 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should Airdrie go up and Clyde go down, Falkirk will be the longest serving club in that division with the exception of Montrose, who were promoted from League Two the previous year, 2018. Clyde joined Falkirk in League One in 2019, coming up through the play-offs. Airdrie of course, have been stuck there since relegation in 2013, and until now perhaps, are the epitome of League One stalwarts, like ourselves in the Championship. Let’s also remember, Montrose have come closer to getting out of this division at the right end. They only lost their semi-final against us in 2021 to a goal in the last minute of extra time, whilst on Falkirk’s only visit to the play-offs in their time down there, they lost by 5 (five) goals to Airdrie over two legs in a tie that was finished after half an hour of the first leg. League One is exactly where they belong. It isn’t an underachievement at all. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post vikingTON Posted June 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2023 They were selling ten year season tickets to their thick as fuck fanbase just last season, it's an easy grift. 4 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.

TRVMP Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) You could* actually see this being a decent thing if they did it right. Sell the 100 squares as part of a commemorative event, where one day in the summer everyone stands in their squares, a drone takes a bunch of photos of the pitch filled with the sponsors, then you get a framed picture and some other stuff to go with your certificate. As it stands you get a photo next to the "Brockville gate" and told to piss off. *not really, it's still shit Edited June 14, 2023 by TRVMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post vikingTON Posted June 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2023 While I thoroughly approve of Imrie's parting blow, it's regrettable that his antennae weren't finely tuned enough to detect the sort of fucking loser who would choose to drop a level because mah family/bank balance/whatever bullshit excuse, to hound them out of the club in advance. I expect absolutely zero loyalty to GMFC itself from the vast, vast majority of our employees, but anyone who chooses to join the Titan submersible of Scottish football clearly didn't have what it takes to succeed in professional football in the first place. Hopefully Montrose Bay is attracting a pod of orcas this summer. 8 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.

DreamOakTree Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 WTF’s happened to VT and Toby? I would previously log on here just to read their vitriolic posts, even if they were giving me a hard time. I have to admit they were always a great read, well researched and hitting the nail on the head. However it seems that since they started hanging about together they’ve lost their way. Their main theme seems to pivot around hatred for rival clubs or putting down fellow supporters. Is it a case of opposites attract but familiarity breeds contempt? I for one am very saddened by their demise, and would welcome their old personas back with open arms. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
