port-ton Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I didn't really see the arrogance other people saw in that video. I saw someone that's confident in his abilities but not comfortable in front of a camera answering questions. He looked to me like he had no idea what he was going to say before it came out of his mouth and was just trying to get through the interview by saying whatever came in to his head. 1 Good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things, but only with religion do good people do bad things!

I trust Dougie as the type o man who can channel the young 24 year old boys attitude in the right direction I trust him before I trust the opinions of some folk spouting piss on here . He has not been on the park two mins and folk have written him off. While he is with us and playing for the jersey I'll reserve judgement and wish him well. However I get a feeling some online football managers would rather he fails miserably. While he is yet to kick a ball I'll give him my support ,yes things may go tits up and then I'll judge . And I feel a lot want it to fail so they get a sense of look told you so,but come on let's back him . I personally think it's worth a punt when he did have his purple patch he was a joy to watch ,he has that in him he's still young , if he finds the form and stays fit and confident it could work out for us. A lot o too players have big egos and come across as wnkers on interviews personality not being as to your expectations don't mean they don't give a fk about the team,some folk may think your a cnt with how you come across but I'm sure you have good intentions.

Given his injury record and career regression since leaving us, people are totally justified in having their doubts about him resigning. But I'm 100% certain everyone on here who like me have expressed these doubts want him to succeed, and if he does, we'll be delighted.

TaunTon Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Sorry but this move was not made in heaven. His record since leaving us varied between the gutter and the sewer both in terms of goals and his propensity to spend Saturdays on the treatment table. He is deluded as are many footballers thinking they are better than their achievements, and he inspires no confidence in me. If Dougie can get get something positive out of him then fair play to him. I won't be holding my breath though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamOakTree Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 It says more about the perpetrators of the regular criticism of Morton players than it does about the targets of their unjustified abuse. They’ve driven good players out of the club then complained when the same players came back and gave them a GIRUY when they scored at Cappielow. I’ve heard them abusing boys on their debuts and now a returning player before he’s even started a game! They even abuse their own players for suffering injuries. You couldn’t make it up! 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deego Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I haven’t watched the interview yet but after the abuse he got from Morton fans about his court case when he played against us, I’m pretty sure I’d be back at the club for selfish reasons only as well. I’m optimistic about him signing if he can stay fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree some would shout 'he's pish' and 'get him aff' as soon as he gives a shit pass ten mins in . A lot o folk think they know better than qualified professional managers and seem to just get a rise shouting crap at players just for attention, some o these folk have never kicked a ball or played in a team game in their Life. Not all fans, the majority will back him and generally give someone a bit o time and a chance but some will be on the guys back right from his first mistake. No one likes arrogance and players with big Egos however no one gives a fuck as long as it don't impact the team and he does the talking on the park. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRVMP Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 And following the specific examples of such abuse: how would that abuse differ from any other club in the country? Which players, specifically, were driven out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Entering professional football management with that is the equivalent of passing a driving test and then being asked to take part in the Monaco Grand Prix: the vast majority are going to slam it into the wall at turn 1. Anyone with even an ounce of self-esteem should rank themselves as more competent than confirmed chumps like James Grady or Jonatan Johansson, who brought nothing to the role other than their name. 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.

HamCam Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 I do hope the latest Imrie interview is merely looking to manage fans expectations. Going into the season with no more additions to the squad would not fill me with confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of those players only two went on to actually play at a higher level than GMFC, and one of those (Tiffoney) left courtesy of Warren 'Iron Man' Hawke's legendary CEO intervention in getting a completely worthless sell-on clause.

A few more will come to me if I start trying to think hard about it! I'm with DreamOakTree, as a virtual bystander in most posts, IMO there is a significant amount of abuse directed to people connected with the club, which I feel is over the top and unwarranted...at times. To say some folk on this board have a short fuse, would be an understatement. As soon as things start to look as if they are heading the wrong way, the boo boys take to the keyboard and vent.....and vent. I myself have been subject to the trolls on the board.....and I have no idea why. Me and the family have a great time laughing about though when it does happen. I can laugh at it, as I have no agenda and have nothing to lose or gain. That said, I would think it would be the complete opposite for players and staff and I reckon the negative comments on this board and elsewhere must have a detrimental effect, irrespective of who the critism is aimed at. Any new player coming to the club, we should be wishing them well, while keeping or fingers crossed that it will all work out over the season. To be on anyone, before a ball has been kicked and being the first to say "ah telt yi, didn't ah" is merely just a self fulfilling prophecy, not helpful to anyone and just a bag o shi*e IMO. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamOakTree Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 A few more just sprung to mind: Reghan Tumilty, James McPake, Jamie Stevenson, Jim McAllister, Sean McGinty, Brian McLean and Gary Oliver. Other club’s fans get impatient with a regular underperforming team or players. We’re the only “fans” in Scotland who see fit to barge right in when a youngster’s making his debut, or a new player’s yet to even pull on a pair of boots. Don’t kid yourselves, we’re the worst for that behaviour in the country. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
