Good grief

Felt we were a little fortunate to be awarded that penalty. Would have happily celebrated it hitting the net, though.

Been a tough watch, this

Almost got to admire the shithousery/gamesmanship. Almost. Then again, you could also label it reckless endangerment of the players by deliberately placing an obstacle too close to the line. Will be a laugh if they’re made to shift them back before kick off. Presume there’s a limit on how close you can place the boards to the pitch.

I was at a St Andrew’s hospice charity run at Strathclyde Park where Tam Cowan was MC and Frank McAvenie the starter. Cowan remarked that they had an air horn rather than a starter’s pistol as Frank was an expert in handling hooters and because they feared the school pupils from Airdrie would return fire.

Hard lines, a great effort.

Aye, the single file traffic is moving very slowly. Right hand lane shut off for miles, but no sign of works actually having been underway.

There was a check for possible damage to the line, but all clear and the route is back open

Would rather they didn’t have the strobing effect fireworks, though. Didn’t like them at all. Not as annoying as the person with the laser pointer in the shed, but off putting all the same.

He was missing due to a virus that’s been going around the squad. Maybe still feeling the effects. ETA: your point still stands, seems risky to play someone who’s not 100%, although perhaps he’s feeling better than Garrity, McGrattan or Bearne if they’ve all had the same bug.

What a terrible wee shame

Blues has been steadily improving throughout his time at Morton but has now become very consistent with it. He’s working hard, making good decisions and taking responsibility. It’s really great hearing him being appreciated with his name being sung more regularly from the ‘shed as well as the positivity around him on here.

Let’s destroy these hackin’ ba$tards!

I didn’t get seat selection for my season ticket on Fanbase in the first place. Spoke to some others in the stand who said they had to call up and have their allocated seat added after the purchase. Was it the same deal for you? Had chosen seats the season before last but only ever got to sit in them a couple of times. Most games there would be people sat in the seats and I wasn’t that arsed to be bothered explaining that some seats are allocated and others are a free for all. Might be an idea to clear away some of the years old stickers from the seats and then clearly mark the reserved ones again. For cup games I guess it would be nice to extend the option to allocated ST holders to reserve their usual seat.

The wee fruit characters diversifying their portfolio

Oh well, Hearts it is. Should bring a good travelling support with them. We’ll need a very big performance, but we know we have some real grit and fight in the squad now. Give it everything, get right behind them again and dare to dream (feel free to add your own footballing cliches and platitudes as you see fit!)

Airdrie or Hearts at home.

That was bloody brilliant.

Oh no, I was simply making an arse of myself again!

Good Lord, my memory is like a collander

‘97? At home against Kilmarnock. Remember the Sinclair Street end feeling absolutely rammed that day.

I don't know specific details, but when myself and Gavin were in meetings with Dave McKinnon, Keith from Smiths and the Vision Outsourcing people, there was mention of Smiths actually owning certain rights to producing Morton merchandise and maybe even the club crest itself, purchased before Rae took over. I'd hope that would have changed as part of fan ownership, though it does seem the shop does certain things quite separately from the club, like launching and stocking items before the club make any announcement.

Quitongo just doesn’t seem to be able to get a clean run of fitness. When he has played this season he’s not seemed anything like his old self either. He doesn’t appear to be moving freely or comfortably, and the acceleration and sprint speed that were his main weapons aren’t on tap as the once were. A young guy who should be in his peak years. Got to wonder whether he’ll be able to shake the chronic issues and hope it won’t have long term impacts for him beyond his playing days.
