TRVMP Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Yep, it's been a complete turnaround in just eight days. Nuts to think we're actually not out of the to four race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, if his booking against ICT had been his 6th then it would be the game on 30th December (ICT) that he would have missed. As an aside, Kirk Broadfoot picked up his 6th booking today so he will miss the game against ICT on 30th Dec Muirhead's league bookings this season: 23/9 Dunfermline (a) 30/9 Airdrie (h) 28/10 Ayr (a) 31/10 Raith (h) 12/12 Inverness (h) You're right, I've had him down as walking a suspension tightrope in the match previews for weeks now, but he'll be available for Airdrie, which is great news. Hate being wrong about things like that, but I'll take it. As for Broadfoot: 5/8 Ayr (h) 12/8 Raith (a) 26/8 Arbroath (h) 16/9 Dundee United (a) 23/9 Dunfermline (a) 16/12 Queen's Park (h) All things considered, I was expecting Broadfoot's suspension to come along much earlier than it did, given his difficult start to the season. I don't agree that it'll be Inverness he misses though- from reading an excerpt from the SFA's website the other day (no, I don't know where it is), my reading is that after seven days grace then a suspension must be served, rather than being allowed a game until the suspension is served. Had we a midweek game on the 19th/20th, Broadfoot would have been available, but he'll sit out on Saturday as far as I'm aware. @dunning1874 is probably the best person to ask.

Madton Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I think it is the Inverness game he will miss. Suspension kicks in 14 days after the 6th yellow card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 3 hours ago, Scott said: A simply outstanding defensive performance in that second half. 9 points and 2 goals conceded in the last 3 games is quite the turnaround from a team that were shipping goals not so long ago. We haven't really shipped goals, it has been the lack of cutting edge that led us to lose most of those eight games by a single goal margin. The defence has improved but it's part of a general improvement that comes with first choice players available and confidence. 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.

AyrshireTon Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I thought Tuesday's referee would take some beating but there you go. The red card was never a red although I was not all that surprised to see him send Oakley off, given his performance up to that point. That was a very hard fought three points. Mullen was a deserved MotM for me. Batshit that we could go from bottom to 5th in 8 days. 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.

Hands of Cowan Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Mullen definitely MotM for me too, but supporter of the match definitely goes to the wee boy at the seated section in the Shed with the really high pitched voice. Started off as annoying but got more amusing as the wee guy got more animated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least the premise of the whole debate makes sense now, but I'm still convinced that Muirhead was booked as part of the general first half parade of set-tos and rightful abuse aimed at that cretin in black.

AyrshireTon Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Queens Park’s highlights are up. Never a red card - it’s a trip and a yellow for me. The penalty offence is obscured by the pillar. 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.

port-ton Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Red definitely borderline for me. It's definitely more than a trip but hard to tell whether he's stood on his foot or raked his studs down the back of the QP players calf. Absolutely silly challenge to make anyway and absolutely no chance we would win an appeal if we bothered. Good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things, but only with religion do good people do bad things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either of those might be a yellow card offence, but where, specifically, is the red card offence there? Still just looks like a clumsy forwards challenge to me.

Madton Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Strange they left the McGrattan effort out. I think the angle of the challenge from the gantry will make an appeal difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Doesn’t look a red to me, but I can’t see it being overturned on appeal. While it’s certainly a yellow, I don’t think from that distance it’s conclusive enough for the SFA to rescind when their official was within two yards of it and appeared so adamant in making his decision. An appeal would be a costly venture with absolutely no reward, and possibly even an extra match ban thrown in for good measure. I’d say we’ll just have to suck it up and look forward to George’s return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a completely unnecessary thing for Oakley to do. A big part of our success over the last week, and what we've done really well, is win possession back quickly by nipping in and getting a toe onto the ball when we can. As far as I can see, that's exactly what Oakley had tried to do but has been clumsy and missed (as forwards often do). I don't really see any need to talk of it as unnecessary.
