This was my thoughts too. We hear so much about security at this level. In some capacity, I think it's a smart move.

Contract/signing news incoming. They used a gif of John McGinn on Twitter, could be Stephen? But I'm guessing it's Muirhead due to the gif being a wild celebration.

I'd much rather have Reilly than Oliver and/or Muirhead. Shame that.

I could see us going after most of them, maybe apart from Maley and Jacobs (ones enough right?). Poplatnik had an okay finish to his time at Raith didn't he?

Not quite Reilly or Hamilton. Right sided player I believe? https://twitter.com/Morton_FC/status/1528702346691284994?t=KFdEkZmYA9vy3cGn34xcOQ&s=19

Sibbald would be perfect I think. Few injury problems I believe though? Dougie obviously has some links with Livi and the boys there I'll be shocked to not see that being exploited. Give us Reilly and Hamilton lads.

Always thought Baird was unreliable from a discipline perspective. He does seem like a 'Dougie' player though.

2 year deal too.

I think people also forget that the "Morton fan page" on twitter is ran by a wee boy who also celebrates anything Celtic or Rangers. He may be a wee guy but he can get to fuck.

The "David Vize" page on Twitter, clearly ran by a wee boy is suggesting Reilly is off to League One - probably with Queens. Taking it with a pinch of salt of course but I'd be shocked if we haven't offered Reilly a deal. Imrie got the best out of him and he's probably our best chance of a 20 goal striker in our current position unless we unearth a gem. Oliver, Ugwu and Muirhead would maybe contribute maybe 15 goals between them over the course? I'm not even considering 'Zander' in that discussion.

Jamie Brandon signs for Livi. Thought he was an upgrade at RB for us but not the complete player, inconsistent defending and concentration at times. Hope it goes well for him though.

Am I looking into Chris Ross' update a bit too finely? "As we head into next season the football club has to face the challenges of rising costs across most areas of our operations and it will be up to myself & the commercial department to do that as best we can by working hard to provide the 1st Team Manager with the best resources we possibly can." '1st Team Manager' sounds awful vague.

The idiots highlighting it on social media are just making a mountain out of a molehill, all for a few likes and a boost of serotonin in their sad lives. The same folk saying they'll cancel their memberships yesterday over Salmond's 'alleged' behaviour (he's a sleazy prick) but are willing to go support the team with Alan Lithgow as captain. I've defended the club and Alan quite a bit over that decision. However, you can't just have one and not the other just because you don't agree politically. This was always going to fracture (fragile) folk in the fan base. We should not be deteriorating a fading fan base with politics.

I don't mind renting out some tables and chairs trying to gain some extra income as long as it isn't for the KKK or similar. I believe we still have SNP ad boards around the pitch, these should be binned immediately. We should not be promoting political parties of any form.

Albeit Raith's tactics didn't work I would've liked to have seen a slightly reduced admission, £10 for all of something, but I get the reason why they wouldn't. Overall an exciting week, think I'll get the top finally too. Let's roar our lads onto safety on Saturday, they fucking deserve it.

The right idea. Possibly something that could be done (with refinements) is the club charging a reduced ticket and matching tickets sold say by the Friday and distribute them to whoever they wish. Get a big crowd in, hopefully some folk who haven't been for a while. People could enter like it was a raffle maybe? I would be hoping that they PR the shit out of Saturday coming. Chance to put one over the little people, hopefully sun is shining and of course, Dougie back in the dug out. It's got the making of a top afternoon.

They're all far superior in every way.

I'd be all in favour of keeping the home kit - not sure if they'll just remove the Scottish Cup part of it for next year? Those 4 choices for the away kit are absolutely hummin.

Good to see you, once again, lambasting Lithgow in order to protect your own insecurities. At least, that's how your constant, 24/7 ranting about him comes across. Maybe you should speak to a professional about your own, deeply uncomfortable urges?

I've heard a few reports of the club booking out Parklea for training on a Sunday after games, and even did so after playing Inverness away the other week. Not notifying the manager until last minute either.

What do people want this The Rangers-Esque statement to say? "sorry we've hired someone convicted of sexual misbehaviour but he's moved on"? I genuinely don't believe any sort of statement would be acceptable for those awaiting one. It would just be there for folk to nitpick at and be even more furious about, 5 months later. I'm no supporter of MCT, I haven't pledged yet and won't until I see encouraging signs of improvement. There are more problematic matters currently for MCT than the echo chamber that surrounds this once proud club.

Since Lithgow came through the door we've had members here turning into the local "beast hunters". "But especially under community ownership" seems to be thrown around a lot too. The club have hired some horrible bastards down the years and some clubs still do, even in the league above us! I understand that Lithgow's crimes may be "worse" than severe assault or drug dealing however. My worry is that this club and it's supporters are becoming very closed off. It has been for the past decade of me attending anyway. If you don't agree with the majority there you're not very welcome at Cappielow without folk jumping down your throat. This Lithgow situation being one of those things.

Wonder if he could end up at Celtic in some back up capacity? Seemed to have some links with the new gaffer.

Remember the 'hype' they tried to create with the new website?

Ordered an Uber today and my driver was none other than Andy McLaren. Good to see him looking happy and healthy.
