Down here, 'wet wall works' is what happens when you get chucked out of the pub and have a pish up the side of it to prevent wetting yourself before you get home.

Morton vs Airdrie - Relegation Showdown 01.05.26

My first Morton game was 1971. But it's been an emotional night, so I'll let that slide. -

89th minute sub. Just what is the fucking point? -

What happened to the lassie announcer btw? I thought she was pretty good. -
@Jamie_M Fair enough so.
-
Trying to grasp at positives here, but there aren't any. The only faint glimmer of hope (apart from beating Airdrie) is the fact that a relegation and a hard reset didn't do Arbroath any harm - quite the opposite given where they are this season.

It was Imrie who assembled this shitshow of sand-dancers.
-
No wonder they only sold 30 fucking tickets.
-
It's a shame that the awards don't include a 'biggest sand dancer' category. The contender count would be overwhelming.

Controversial and highly likely to be immediately red-carded - but endlessly blaming shite referees making shite decisions as the reason for our defeats is nothing more than a straw-clutching excuse. If the same series of events had unfolded with us having actually taken our chances and already being deservedly 2 or 3-0 up as a result, no-one would have given a flying fuck about hopeless Sunday-League-level refereeing.

Fully agree with D1874 above. I'd add that it's hugely pleasing to see the mercenary George Oakley having jumped ship for a well-funded wannabe title contender, only to realise that his new custodians are actually shite.

Glorious to see the entitled boos and immediate calls for Nancy’s sacking after his first game. Pleasing.

Four years jail time for JET.

The only other person I ever heard of called Oisin was that BBC producer who Jeremy Clarkson famously decked because he'd worked a 16-hour day and he wanted a steak instead of a piece & cheese.

Cheers, much appreciated ?

Agreed. It's an absolute classic which not just tips the hat to 1922 - but also tips the hat to the history and heritage of the entire club. It's literally the only Morton shirt I ever wear. I don't know how the lack of a sponsorship logo would affect the club's finances though. The other Morton shirt I'd wear just as regularly would be a reissue of the Allan McGraw-era vertical pinstripes. All of this modern 'me-too' shite can get in the sea.

I sense another epic Toby/VT standoff incoming.

Description of the decade. Respect to you,VT.

Christallfuckingmighty. Apart from me - has anyone else here been to Workington? It's like Royston Vasey without the class or the local shop. The festering boil on the arse of Cumbria. I do wish the man well though.

Rome lost its appeal Bish? Have they finally excommunicated you? Or was the heat being turned up on that money resting in your account?
-
Fair point, well made.

Any organisation can make progress on anything given enough focus and resources - resources which are lacking in the context of a fan-owned club at our level with relatively small attendances. My point was that goals and targets only mean something if they're realistic and achievable. Publishing a manifesto with 18 points on it is (in one respect, anyway) entirely laudable as it lays out a roadmap. But I sometimes wonder whether or not it would be better not to publish these wishlists (especially since they were very light on the 'how' detail) - and instead, publish each little victory as it's won. Human nature being what it is - if 10 out of the 18 published goals are achieved, folks will only talk about the 8 ones which didn't. It's like setting yourself up for failure. Just my opinion FWIW.

Or the items get binned one by one as stark reality begins to kick in.

5 years for me now. I can honestly say that I haven't missed any of that whole toxic circus for as much as a microsecond.
