Popular Post RossMcC1874 Posted January 6 Popular Post Share Posted January 6 Absolutely brilliant performance today. Another win and another hattrick. Since Oakley has been the club I must admit I hate to go overboard but he has probably been the best forward I have seen in years. The way he holds up the ball, the way he links up the play, the endless workrate and genuine goal threat he poses is superb he has taken his game to another level and on top of that seems an all round nice guy, couldn't be happier for him. Living up to big bad physical morton, what a shame for everyone else. Next weekend is massive let's maybe hope for 3000 attendance plus as I fancy they will bring a decent support. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope that it pishes it down so their cravats get wet and their Prosecco gets diluted whilst they stand shivering in the WDE. Respect, however, to @Toby's thread regarding this very thing. He's 100% right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Busby's Moustache Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I've run out of superlatives to describe todays result so I'll just have to say .......... MAGNIFICENT MORTON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madton Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) That was class, fans were brilliant today, got right behind the team and great to see the full team and manager over at the end. The rage at Strapp throw ins was worth the 25 quid alone. Huge next week, hopefully we can get over 2000 home fans, players deserve it.

AyrshireTon Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 The radio had Willie Miller and Jim Duffy as co-commentators/pundits. Duffy was particularly impressed by us and Oakley's finishing. Was a very nervy listen but the booing in the background was delicious. 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.

TRVMP Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest to see Oakley have a Grimshaw-style move in the summer. When he's on his game he's so clearly a cut above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr.Blue Posted January 6 Popular Post Share Posted January 6 Absolutely fucking loved that today and celebrating the 3rd goal was something that will live in my memory for a long time. Thought we'd made an arse of it thrown away a 2 goal lead but after weathering the early storm we came back onto a game and what a.ateikenfir the 3rd. Not a bad performance again in the team today but big George, Robbie and Broadfoot were standouts in my opinion. I fucking love Greenock Morton. 1 2 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he's on his game he's so clearly a cut above. I was gutted when Gozie left and we missed someone with his physical presence that following season until the January when gorgeous arrived. He's a massive upgrade on Gozie for me. He's a brilliant focal point for the team, a nightmare for defenders in the air and brilliant at pressing from the front, has a decent amount of pace and is almost deceptively very good with his feet. If he was more prolific in front of goal then he'd have four Ballon D'ors by now. 2 Good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things, but only with religion do good people do bad things!

Alibi Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Cannae wait to see the highlights. Oh, and if we were to win our game in hand, we’d be in 4th. We can look upwards now - what a run we’re on. 17 points from the last 7 games. Superb. To think folk were saying Dougie should be sacked. He’s shown what he can do when we have our squad fit. 1 "Any nation given the opportunity to regain its national sovereignty and which then rejects it is so far beneath contempt that it is hard to put words to it."

Popular Post Scott Posted January 6 Popular Post Share Posted January 6 I’d hope we’re putting an offer in front of Crawford, Oakley and Muirhead this month to try and avoid them signing pre contracts elsewhere. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine he will be trying to tie down the core again. Good to hear but we'll need to have a sound financial footing to achieve that, realistically speaking. It's high time that MCT made another push to try and convert more supporters into owners of the club too. Don't get me wrong, having around 1000 subscriptions is already a huge success, but we're still missing a trick by not trying to get even 50 more folk added to the scheme right now. Finances are tight at this time of the year, but if we're not going to capitalise on the goodwill right now then we'll regret that opportunity missed. It's an investment in obtaining more results like today instead of circling the drain in the seaside leagues like Queen of the South. 8 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...
CM48 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) Obviously there’s more behind the current form than the return of Strapp, but just wondering if Mr Dunning might fancy doing a McGrattan style with/without comparison? It’s been so good to see him back better than ever. Edited January 7 by CM48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, a retweet of the clubs post and tagging the general manager for some reason instead of saying you could be part of this for £10 a month or something with a link to join seems a bit of a wasted opportunity.
