vikingTON Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 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.

Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Who could seriously say that they saw that coming even 2/3 weeks ago? What a turnaround for the boy. Edit - getting him tied up to a new deal makes me wonder who is calling the shots? Or if maybe another club was sniffing around him so we didn't want to lose him for free?

TheGoon Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Congrats to him. Couple of weeks ago we’d have (rightly) been losing the nut at that decision but he’s definitely shown enough in the few recent games to merit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not wrong, is it? We have too many senior players in certain positions. I'm not saying we should build the spine of the team around these four, no idea if they're good enough for that or not, but if we're having a youth system it doesn't make sense to have (for example) Muirhead and Oliver and Orsi and Sterling and Johnson and Wallace and Omar all battling for the same one or two positions. So instead we'll hopefully see something like, for key positions we have a first choice player, a backup or competitor, and a youth player. And as needed we can augment those with loans or short-term deals in the case of injury or Henkism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Blue Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I have no idea if any of these boys are any good or not. Only one I've seen play is easedale and he's done heehaw to merit a new deal.

Only one I've seen play is easedale and he's done heehaw to merit a new deal. I've seen Mcgrattan play twice for the development team. One of those was the game against Man Utd under 18s (?) and I thought he was our best player that day. He got subbed off after about 60mins or so, but IIRC that was due to him being included in the next first team squad that weekend. Looks like a good passer, don't think he gave the ball away more than once that game (playing CM). He was quite short then though, not sure if that's going to go against him in terms of being given a chance in the first team at some point. But technically he looked good enough to be in amongst the first team squad IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure your views would have a bearing on his decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EanieMeany Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Morton's signing policy would have been considerably better in recent years if fans had the power of veto over contract offers, if we're being honest about it. AWMSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
