Morton vs Airdrie 13th December

[RossMcC1874]

Starting lineup will be very different compared to the Stirling Albion game, Davies mentioning no major doubts in terms of availability so should have most players fit. 

Need to win this one, I dont think Airdrie will be as bad as QP. 

Go for 2-0 Tomi and Blues with the goals. 

[dunning1874]

Airdrie's record over the last 6 league games is almost identical to ours with 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats, and all the same scorelines other than their defeat to St Johnstone being 3-0 rather than 4. That's also the 6 games Taylor-Sinclair has been in charge for.

However when you then bring cup games and the timing of Imrie leaving into it, it's hard not to feel that they're a team who've turned the corner while we're looking poorer for being managerless. Win this and we should be able to stop worrying about the bottom two, but we'll need to turn up for 90 minutes rather than only being any good in the second half.

I have a bad feeling we will lose and at least one ex player will score, it seems that kind of day/week.

Warren 'Iron Man' Hawke should be brought back to Cappielow in a cage and forced chisel open the old turnstiles with his face. £100k spunked away by the Michelle Mone of football executives.

I'm sure the CEO will be along shortly to crack the whip.

Some really encouraging player here 

[Greacen2000]

That was an absolute joke - ended up leaving after 10 minutes because the wee man was soaked to his skin after standing in the lashing rain for 30 mins.  
 

Sure, the club can’t be blamed for the weather and didn’t cause the technical issue but it should have been handled so much better.  When the SLO showed up I was expecting him to maybe address the crowd and give an update but that didn’t happen.  Plan b with handheld scanners & opening the old turnstiles should be ready to go whenever needed.  There’s no excuse for leaving thousands of people standing out in the rain like that.  Even when they eventually opened the gate it looked more like it was a result of some people rushing them rather than a decision that the club/stewards made.

Felt a bit for the SLO - voluntary role being expected to deal with it all. He did say they started using scanners but the security officer told them to stop though. 

[ConTon74]

Really no reason why the scanners were needed. Tickets had already been bought, people weren’t standing in the rain just for the sake of it, an absolute joke.

Fair enough - I get that it’s voluntary and appreciate him giving his time to the club.  I certainly don’t hold him in any way responsible for this shitshow.  I just mentioned it because when a big crowd have been waiting in the cold wind & rain for 30 mins and a guy with “SLO” emblazoned on his jacket shows up, it is reasonable for people to expect some sort of communication to be forthcoming.

Exactly.Its the lack of contingency planning for these situations that need sorting.

Pronto!

And there it is. Boring. 

[Jani Inenuot]

Shite performance on and off the pitch. Should've taken the farce getting in as a sign to just go home.

[Greacen2000]

Oh well at least I can thank the weather & the incompetence of the club for saving me from having to witness that.

If it was a scanning error, that’s a fault with the new Fanbase system and not down to Hawke. Are the turnstiles not tested regularly? They should be checked at least once per week.
