Edited September 5 by vikingTON 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.

So are you wanting him to triple down on that decision by giving him unmerited game time? Doesn't seem like a logical argument to me. 1 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.

And not very good at coaching in order to improve players. Maybe that's why he reverts to signing the aged? Or his mates? Hence why we're heading inexorably to the bottom of the league. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only demonstrates that, if you can identify a cohort of managers who have never signed a total dud in his career.

dunning1874 Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 It's maybe nothing as the meaning is unclear, but there's a potentially very concerning comment in Imrie’s match preview for today. "It's been a summer with a big transition in terms of players coming and going, how pleased have you been with the business that's been done so far?" "Yeah really really pleased. As a manager you're always looking to add, unfortunately we don't have that scope to do that, but again..." he then goes on to thank the board for increasing the budget in the summer. If he's just talking in general terms there about not having the budget to compete with other Championship clubs so we missed out on some players he wanted to add throughout the summer, fine. If he actually means the budget is now fully spent so he can't sign anyone else then that is a disaster when we still have no centre forwards worthy of the name and only two full backs. It would make the McGinn signing even worse if he's prioritised him over finding an actual striker.

Don't see more being added unless the likes of King or Garrity get decent League 1 loan deals lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really isn't, given that Reynolds • wasn't 'scouted'/headhunted to join the club in January at all • didn't sign a pre contract agreement back then either • wasn't signed on a two year deal But other than that yes, those situations are definitely equivalent and you're not just boring everyone with your 10 Hot Takes From That Livingston Game I Went To. 1 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.

I know I'm in a minority with this one, (given that he's the most exiting youth player we've had in a while) but I think he's too raw to be starting games in the Championship. A year in league one would do him good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Blue Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Our hopes of bringing in another striker could be a little more complicated with Anton Dowds now out for the season and Ayr looking for another striker.

Alibi Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Would be a shame if G. Oakley suffered a non- career-threatening injury in training this week… "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."

Aye, I suppose you shouldn’t wish a career-threatener on anyone, but he really is a cheating little rat, who is quick to rub it in when his cheating bears fruit for him.
