port-ton Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 The most annoying thing about this for me is that towards the second half of the rae era Morton fans have probably been guilty of moaning about some things through disillusionment and the absence of hope that after the fact we can look back and say we've probably overreacted due to emotion, which is the same with any club in the world. It hurts me more this time because this was our chance to move on from that and bring back a sense of hope and pride and the fanbase as a whole have more than bought in to it. The big bad fan base aren't constantly moaning now because we've given up on the idea of a successful Morton, we are constantly moaning because we want, expect and demand a community owned club to be run at the very bare minimum better than the regime we took over from. I put in my fan survey that something I want from MCT is accountability for who's making decisions on what so the members can make informed decisions on who they've elected and what they're bringing to the table. Once they've taken the notes on board about if morton fans want hats in winter or not then I hope they find the time to take that point on board. 1 Good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things, but only with religion do good people do bad things!

Derek Anderson said in the Tele recently that the club secretary had been “working with the MCT people” to develop the COVID protocols. Either they’re involved or they’re fuckin not. 1 AWMSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONofmemories Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 The most frustrating thing is the complete lack of awareness from whoever is tweeting/running socials. Who thinks it's a good idea to do that knowing fine well you can purchase it? Comple lack of awareness.

Popular Post TRVMP Posted December 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2021 Ideal for those who live out of town, so they can safely order knowing it'll arrive after Christmas.

I'm sure that there were a few with 'marketing' expertise on the MCT 'leadership team' as well as several 'social media' experts - in fact everyone from 'boy with drum' through to 'guy with two heids' was claiming that expertise. Where are they all? Also, there was a former manager and a few former players roped in as football advisors, however none are currently on the board of either the club or the MCT organisation.

Popular Post vikingTON Posted December 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2021 That Chinese Wall between MCT and GMFC miraculously disappearing when the excuses don't work again. 5 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not think it is that way on purpose? I do. Its to keep the rank and file members in their rightful place, and any with aspirations can only go so far, as Stuart Duncan will soon find out.

Wasn't it? Why is it only now a priority? Meanwhile: do they think every other club in Scotland doesn't have hoops to jump through to put on games? I get that it's hard work. It's also what they're there to do. Using the survey to gauge the things that matter to a large number of people is all well and good, and I'm glad they're taking that step. But having an array of tat for sale at Christmas isn't really ground-breaking stuff, is it? I'd love to know who, specifically, sent these messages out and on whose authority, because I don't think they're well-suited for it at all. At a time when the new manager is talking about our potential and how we need to all pull together in one direction, having someone at MCT basically go back to "poor wee Morton, stupid wee basket case, you should be grateful you're allowed in at all" is not on. My partner bought me a wee bit of 'tat' as a stocking filler, arrived broken. Very on brand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His snide, underhand attempts to get someone else to grass on the guy who gave Lithgow a piece of his mind at Raith the other week suggest to me that he’s got as much contempt for a certain section of the support as they do. He knows what side his bread’s buttered on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but although he's been elected to be a 'committee man' for MCT and he would love to align himself with the real powerbrokers like *checks notes* Gordon Ritchie and Graham McLennan, he will soon find himself thwarted in his efforts to become one of the real 'committee men' on the Morton board, because another clique have divvied up those plum roles amongst themselves. The 'rank and file' now seem clueless as how to oust them, despite their ineptitude on a number of fronts and they have found a key lackey from the 'rank & file' to help maintain the status quo. Judging by the way they've performed so far, I'm very glad that I never joined up and I will reiterate my previous stance that I would sooner shit on my hand and then clap than give them my money. *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
