Madton Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 The rule is also a bit daft, needing SFA approval for a closed door kick about, but I presume we are well aware of the rule. Surely its a slap on the wrist and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the footage from both games, it was the youths that played it. Who are this mob? They claim to be exempt from the Covid stay at home order under the 'Professional sport' bracket because most of their staff and players are full time. Not sure how that worked when the game was also played during the period that all football under Championship level was shut down. Seen a few lower league losers complaining about it on Twitter and grassing on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRVMP Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 We're caught bang to rights. As punishment we should be forced to release three players from their contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 'Dundee's Administration Challenge' would surely be a more realistic game, in which you try and cook the books while still chucking stupid contracts at washed-up losers. Who can beat the Marrs' all-time high score of £20 million? 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...

"The Greenock club are almost certain to have the book thrown at them for failing to ask for the SFA’s permission to play in the game which was arranged by an agency in a bid to showcase its stable of freelance players." Freelance players is my new favorite euphemism for regens. In fact I've now decided that I too am a freelance player. Anyway, presumably Honest Toni's Footballers and Glue Supplies, Ltd. (Cayman Islands) phoned the club, promised them a wee kickabout and maybe first option on a superstar plucked from the Malagasy 8th Division South, and because Morton doesn't operate as a professional club nobody bothered to ask if it was a good idea.

Joke's on us. (I mean not on me personally, I have ten adblockers running, but on us in the abstract.) I do like the "believed to have taken place on the south side of Glasgow in March" as if we're talking about some kind of gangland killing and not a publicized game of football.
