vikingTON Posted September 6 Posted September 6 I'd like to know why, if our budget is competitive, we are still being subjected to seaside league level dross like Shaw, Moffat and Garrity on a weekly basis, with our attacking play now seemingly reliant on Ali Crawford to do anything of note other than solo goals from Brophy. None of our wide or creative players would get a game for any of our supposed play-off rivals, and Delaney/Longridge definitely wouldn't either. That's half a team on the park today that are patently not good enough to deliver the target supposedly set. 1 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
CM48 Posted September 6 Posted September 6 I guess it’s a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to feel negative after watching that today, but I’d rather be hearing that the club can survive relegation should it happen instead of the major sponsor demanding we splash the cash on the first team. 7 clubs in our league have been down more recently than us so some reassurance that we won’t do an Inverness or Hamilton would be good. On a positive note, hopefully having Archie MacPherson along today helped to sell out hospitality and good to see them try something different, even if anyone under 35 is unlikely to remember him.

Echoing the above, I'd rather the major sponsor understood that a true legacy at this club would be to deliver the (unfortunately for them) grubby work of creating a professional business fit for the 21st century, that our last rich fan dreamer neglected for the best part of 20 years long before they (much appreciated) showed interest. If Brian Bonar could deliver a fourth side to the ground with credible hospitality and/or other revenue potential, then name it after him rather than just signing some largely forgettable mercenaries. Leaving that hopeful dream aside though: was there not supposed to be some energy efficiency benefit to the original partnership? What are the tangible results of that? It's also hard not to wonder about Laird's priorities and whether they align with any long-term interests of the football club, given his seemingly semi-detached and unaccountable position too.

He seems to jump from making decisions and having priorities to just advising the board depending on who he's speaking to. I didn't think the interview was too bad but not convinced he's telling the truth when he speaks.

Mr.Blue Posted September 7 Posted September 7 Was talking about the investment from dalrada and MCT yesterday. Although it's great to have their support would it not be sensible to consider putting some of this funding into upgrading the stadium? I'm all for squad investment but I just wonder long term if it would be beneficial to the club and the investors. 2 There's a storm on the horizon And for that I can't see the sun For I'll keep a waiting on the pavement For the ice cream van to come
cappieton_1874 Posted October 17 Posted October 17 Drove past the ground this morning and notched that the area that was cleared behind cowshed, earmarked for some development, resembled an Arnold Clark forecourt. Anyone able to shed any light? D.A.C

Glad to see club actually benefitting from this in some way instead of it just sitting empty / used for free. D.A.C

Rossco Posted October 24 Posted October 24 Has anyone that has ordered one of the collectible coins (new ones) had theirs delivered yet?
GiGi Posted November 10 Posted November 10 Another highly unusual kit vote. The Fiorentina is the best of a weird lot. Peter Weatherson is the greatest player since Ritchie, and should be assigned 'chairman for life'
