The general consensus was that an inflated sense of superiority of some fans was actually due to the transferance of an inferiority complex. Lads, gather round for a quick ‘wah wah’. Having reached consensus last week that a quantifiable portion of the Morton support possess an inflated sense of superiority over [unspecified], during the course of today’s match we must now attribute this to one of the following: A] the transference of an inferiority complex B] they believed their mammys who always told them they were special C] the bovril was laced with high purity cocaine, often said to imbue the user with an increased level of confidence and self-worth D] we require a highly contentious stick, any stick in fact, to fight back against the entirely fictional band of hoodlums we [for which you may read ‘I’] have invented. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the unironic use of transference that led to the tea being spat out. "I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it."

But when I can make the trip up, I’m there to see a game, not to be an amateur psychologist or behavioural therapist along with the ‘general consensus’ - whoever they are. Maybe you’d mistakenly wandered into the psychoanalyst’s stand? I’ve certainly never witnessed groups of fans at Cappielow analysing anything other than the state of that week’s pies or which bin pub they’d hit before the game. The only ‘transference’ I’ve ever seen is a pie from hand to mouth in the cowshed. You’re making yourself look like a bit of a chump. What relevance has any of this got to do with Brian Clough's Derby team in the early 1970's? *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madton Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) Ayr fan over on pandb saying he's heard we are about to sign Robbie Crawford. Good signing if true but would give us 6 centre mids so you'd think 1 or 2 might move on/go on loan Edited June 30, 2022 by Madton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunning1874 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 When Partick released him I thought Crawford would make sense for us, presuming Sibbald has pretty much the whole division after him and the odds of us getting him are small. If true that would finally give us a playmaker for the midfield three, but with the crucial difference to last season that unlike Oliver he is actually a central midfielder and has the legs to do the defensive work too when required. Escaping Ian McCall's tendency to play central midfielders out wide and actually getting to nail down a place in his best position would hopefully see him hit his stride too. In terms of moving central midfielders on, as before we don't know how exactly Imrie envisages the midfield and front three working but you can broadly say this would give us two options for each role in the middle: Holding midfielders: Jacobs & Gillespie Box to box: Lyon & Blues Playmaker: Crawford/other new & McGrattan Obviously you can't entirely pigeon hole players to one role like that, but with Lyon and Blues having played in all of them while Crawford or McGrattan may be used further forward at times, I think those six is the right amount of depth. That then allows King to go on loan, assuming he's not having to stay around as left back cover.

Good signing if true but would give us 6 centre mids so you'd think 1 or 2 might move on/go on loan But none of the current 5 are true centre mids such as a Tidser for instance, who stay in the centre of the pitch and control the tempo of the game. Crawford would be closer to that than any of our current 5, who either tend to drift wide like Blues and Lyon, or lie deep like Jacobs. McGinn was the nearest we’ve had to a genuine CM for some time, so Crawford would be a useful (and different) addition. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcC1874 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Any rumors of anymore signings? Getting pretty close to the start of the season now and still feel we are painfully short up front. I know Jaze Kabia has played as a trailist so presume he is next in but still think we are light up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmfc_craig Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 First Team Squad section on gmfc.net has updated photos and squad numbers for coming season. Schwake wearing no.1 and no picture of Jack Hamilton. Alan Lithgow still wearing the ridiculous 47 and Reece Lyon moves from no.10 to no.32 with Jai taking the 10 shirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChampTon Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I would like to see Kabia announced in the next few days and maybe another player on loan I suspect. With Baird and Gillespie out for Saturday and so far Lithgow and Jacobs injured (?) we might be struggling to put a team together. Muirhead is also on paternity leave I believe.

dunning1874 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Akeel Francis would obviously be a complete embarrassment of a signing which would leave us as clear relegation candidates with no goals in the team, but as said it's David Vize. The guy just makes a load of shite up, lifts some rumours from tabloids and when the tabloid rumours come true points to those as evidence that he actually knows what he's talking about. Don't believe this for a second. 1 Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Oh Lord, Brian Wake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And apart from his other shan fuckwittery aimed squarely at the dim and gullible, Romano is also a self-confessed Watford supporter, which defines him as an utter cunt. He also has a really shit designer beard which places him in the Falkirk/Partick Thistle hatred class. Edited July 5, 2022 by SassenachTon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
