One Team In Bristol Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Just got in from tonight’s game and thought I would share my neutral views on the game (it’s the Mrs that’s the Morton fan!)! Firstly it was worth the 8 hour drive up for us, it was great to be back at Cappiello, really friendly people, cheap beer and cheap pies! The atmosphere was good given the attendance, although I would say Partick were louder and brought a pretty decent following. As for the game I thought Partick looked sharper on the ball, quicker on the break and pressed high up the pitch especially in the first half. Morton held them well though and your defence was pretty good but Hamilton in goal was superb, how he isn’t playing at a higher level I don’t know he was excellent. Second half Morton were right back into it and created some good chances but seemed to waste the second ball. It was a good competitive game I thought and either team could’ve nicked it come the end, that injury time shot from Morton deserved to win it. A good point then I thought and could’ve been 3 and worth the trip for us. Man of the match was Hamilton but I also rated Oliver your number 7 decent player I thought. All the very best for the rest of the season lads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fair assessment, though I hope some of our intelligencia luvvies on here will cut you some slack for making some positive points, as they just feed off the negatives.

Or perhaps you're just a total fanny: it's a tough call really. 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...

You are therefore wrong in your summation. Also, there is more than one team in Bristol. HTH *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Glasgow’s big two are notorious for sectarianism, Partick’s support have a song with the line “fuck the Pope and fuck the Queen” to rile them, which only goes to show them as as bad as the other two. Also, a well known Partick fan, who is far too prominent on social media for anyone who has ever picked up a mobile phone’s liking, is currently awaiting trial, alleged to have racially abused former Morton keeper Derek Gaston at Arbroath a couple of months ago. A truly rancid bunch. Anyway, I’ll assume the “One Team in Bristol” is City, rather than Rovers, given that Twerton Park is actually in Bath?

Funnily enough I was the opposite and City was the club that I went to most given Morton stalwarts Gerry Sweeney and Donnie Gillies were playing for them. Back then I drifted around just about every club is the South West but none of them got their claws into me like Morton. First loves and all that. My boy became a regular at Ashton Gate for a good few years until he grew up and embraced the world of gilfriends and family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t terribly arsed about Bristol Rovers, and Sweeney and Gillies were before my time. It was more a case of checking the scores on Ceefax cos my mate was interested. And City bagged Derek McInnes, which didn’t go in their favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I can see how that would make them belters to say the least. Its easy to forget you guys have the whole sectarian thing up here. We obviously don’t get that in England (well I guess a little with Everton and Liverpool) and certainly not in our division, the Championship. Its interesting there is still lots of sectarian chants in Scottish games. Some of our biggest rivals are Swansea and Cardiff and we get clamped down on for anti-Welsh/English chants in our division! Yes, I am Bristol City. Rovers moved back to North Bristol a few years ago now to Bristol Rugby’s old ground, the Memorial Stadium. Bristol Rugby have since moved Ashton Gate as well now as the owner of Bristol City also owns Bristol Rugby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on about Sweeney and Gillies although I’d say my favourite City Scottish players are Joe Jordan and Scott Murray, also both legends at the cluB. Scott Murray is still there in fact, currently kit man. 2 hours ago, Toby said: Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t terribly arsed about Bristol Rovers, and Sweeney and Gillies were before my time.

The McInnes era still breaks me out in a cold sweat when I think about it! Oddly he did really well back in Scotland when he left us, at least that’s been our general perception.
