Carson the only one I think could be an option plenty of experience and can play right back or centre mid. 

The rest would be pretty unrealistic Anderson will probably join Killie.

Ayr playing 'Sellick' for the opening of their new stand. We can't even get anyone half decent for our anniversary so far. 

I wouldn't want one of the ugly sisters though.

Am glad that the days of endless pre-season friendlies and testimonials against Rangers are long gone.

McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up.
Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control...

That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie. Twenty minutes on the clock and Morton's supporters come alive. A goal which epitomises the control, the arrogance, the cheek of Andy Ritchie.

Raith Rovers humiliate themselves and the Scottish Championship in general by getting scudded 4-0 in the second leg of the promotion play-off, slumping to a tennis score defeat over the two legs. 

The most terrible and wee-est of shames. 

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

Morton will be delighted at the savings on petrol money as it confirms that Raith will be thr furthest we have to travel in the league next season.

The SPFL will still find a way to banish us to the deepest depths of teuchterland for the Friday night final day as per.

£100k for the winner now makes it something we can't really ignore.

Pleasant surprise, could become a competition worth watching now. Very winnable especially with no clear favourite this year.

The Challenge Cup format always pisses me off. I’ve never been as fussed about the trips to Ireland or Wales as others, possibly because they tend to coincide with internationals, though I understand how many folk do and sympathise with them missing out, and the B Teams’ inclusion was of course expected, but disgraceful nevertheless. It can’t go without comment, as by doing so, we head towards the stage of acceptance, which we should never reach.

But if we’re going with this format, the inclusion of Albion Rovers, Cowdenbeath, Berwick and East Stirling, instead of Cumbernauld Colts, Tranent, Civil Service Strollers and Linlithgow Rose, all of whom finished higher in the Lowland League is scandalous.

The tournament criteria being based on historical status rather than footballing merit stinks to the high heavens and this policy should be binned immediately.

I suspect the FAW and IFA have probably had enough of the competition impinging on their domestic calendars, which wouldn’t normally be terribly affected by international breaks, but if we’re going down the route of organising the tournament properly, either a 32 team straight knock out, with the 30 SPFL clubs, Buckie and EK, or a 64 team straight knock out which would conveniently fit in the 18 Highland League and 16 of the 18 Lowland League clubs. Just bin Celtic B and Hearts B and you’ve got a smashing competition, which I doubt would lose much in prestige given how little coverage even the Rangers and Celtic B teams get in the competition.

Everyone’s a winner, but those suggestions would be far too straightforward.

This really is a disgrace. Why should they be allowed to benefit from a larger capacity stadium, when they just built a new one for themselves. This after getting a substantial payout from the sale of Hampden. 

Agreed, but their major investor paid half of the £5 million to buy Hampden from Queen’s Park. If he doesn’t legally own 50% of it, he’s certainly going to have a say in its use, and the SFA can’t really do much about it.

If he wants his club to use what is partly his stadium, they’re not going to refuse him that. He’s got them by the baws.

Callum Fordyce leaves Airdrie. Would like to think we'll be interested 

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

Would make sense as they need a centre back or 2.
