  1. 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.

    Someone put a pic on WhatsApp about half an hour ago, they were still east of Langbank and tail lights ahead as far as you could see

    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.

    Yep, I find their “Well Bois” a bit of a riddy at times but that pyro display was absolutely class. 

    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.

    Not at the game tonight, foot is like a balloon. 

    Mate saying Jai is clearly not ready to be playing tonight. I understand his important attributes he brings to the side but should we really be risking an already injured player instead of playing the fit ones on the bench? 

    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.

    Does Fanbase not allow for seat selection in the main stand for season ticket holders to have their seat reserved? At the Motherwell game there was a large number displaced and with the bigger crowd expected this will become more of an issue. Its a bit of a kick in the baws to sit in the same seat all season but some big game hunter steals your seat because he's in 5 minutes before you.

    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.

  6. 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!)

    You would hope we would get about maybe 5k though the doors tomorrow you would fancy them to bring 2k and then hopefully around 3k for us. 

    Absolutely buzzing for this, there is a lot of hype with it being on the tv and the run we are on let's just hope it lives up to it. 

    If we win quarter finals of the Scottish cup when is the last time we said that. 

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

    Aye, they better hope their faltering title challenge doesn't completely implode taking prize money, ticket revenue and those extra pie sales with it.

    That's one area that did raise my eyebrows from their numbers - the gains from bringing things like the pie stalls in house again rather than taking a fee and outsourcing it. Often suggested on here that Morton should be looking at bringing the concessions and merch back in house.

    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.

  9. 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.
