Apparently Stevie May signing for Raith. 

Can't help but think that will be a very good signing. Unsure of how many goals he's scored in recent years but always been a player I've liked.

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

Found another couple of quid down the back of the sofa, I see.

Common theme here with Dougie and Younger players. Whilst it's going well, it's much ado about nothing, but patterns are starting to emerge over the treatment of some younger players...

Evidenced by the fact that his replacement, Nathan Shaw, is a whole 1 year older. Imrie doing all he can to drive the average age up.

I feel for young players these days. Very difficult to develop and to make an impression with the reserve league gone, especially for academy players it's an enormous jump from under 18s to the Championship. Scott Tiffoney, Lewis Strapp, Reece Lyon etc. were all once players who looked out of their depth against diddy teams in the challenge cup but were brought up to speed after a couple of years in the reserve team and/or a loan or 2. 

It's neither the player nor the managers fault that young players on the periphery of the first team don't get the chance to play every week anymore, which can only be detrimental to their development, but it is the managers job to decide who is good enough and who isn't and if the result of that is that these young players aren't good enough then unfortunately so be it.

Excellent. I know his record recently hasn't been great but a proper number 9 and hopefully any fitness issues are behind him. 

The fact Livingston apparently wanted him aswell is quite funny that we got him. 

A factor there might be he'd be second in line after Muirhead. Unless Davies goes central and starts scoring, you'd have to think JET is here to play every game. 

Hoping for the best.

The six month deal is sensible if there are concerns over his fitness, but it's really a double edged sword in terms of perception as you can't help thinking Imrie isn't convinced if he isn't willing to give him a contract for the season and it's therefore not going to dissuade any Garry O'Connor comparisons.

Still, if/when he scores we'll get to use this.

Less than a week ago we were apparently prepared to wait for the right number 9; now we're giving a six month contract (which suggests both significant doubts and raises the issue of what happens if we have a 'right number 9' in January). 

I hope for the club's sake we have found our own cheat code signing but it would be largely by fluke rather than our increasingly erratic transfer 'policy'. 

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

Getting more and more shades of 13/14 as pre-season has gone on. Not convinced on JET but we will see. However, it won't matter if Broadfoot's in the team weekly. Corr apparently out for a large chunk of the season too so another CB in needed on top.

Whatever the reason for the 6 month contract, it probably makes sense.  If he turns out to be any good, I'm sure he would agree to an extension.  If he's shite, he's gone by January. I'm prepared to trust Dougie's judgement on this one, and I think we all agree we had to do something without further delay.  Maybe everything will click into place now.  Would still like to hear that Grimshaw is joining us though.
