On the subject of Dunfermline, Dan McCafferty of Nazareth just passed away. RIP Dan.

Please someone tell me this is a Photoshop joke.

Fingers crossed that the cravat-wearing hipsters of Fartick Fizzle get another good trousering at the hands of the almost-equally-odious Dundee on Saturday - a place where the Tay estuary has deliberately continued inland so as to have a lesser percentage of its waters lapping up against this coastal equivalent of a rectal prolapse. A continuation of the chai-drinking Glesga wannabees implosion will be like witnessing little shites disappearing down a cludgie. Edit = and fair play to the Ayr Twitter man whose corporate club OG pisstake Tweet reduced Mr. McCall to a chest-thumping, self-flagellating spectacle to be soundly ridiculed by those with an IQ greater than 0.0001.

Apart from the insanity of Blues starting every game, the greatest team selection mystery to me is why Lewis Strapp is being used to keep the bench warm. I thought he was arguably our most solid player last season.

Just wanted to apologise again - fucked-up joke or not. A monumental facepalm, and I’m not surprised it hacked people off. But I held my hands up straightaway. Nothing anyone says on here can make me feel any more stupid than I already do. Onwards and upwards I hope.

Sincere apologies for the misplaced post. It was a joke - but a bad one in extremely poor taste. It won’t happen again.

Just out of interest Toby - what exactly was the jumper? My reason for asking is that I attended one particular game last season wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with; WHAT DO WE WANT? DYSLEXIA !! WHEN DO WE WANT IT? PISSFLAPS !! None of the stewards seemed to mind that. Poor taste on my behalf in retrospect maybe - but not a problem to the goons.

I’m not fat. I’ll give you the others, though.

Educational street theatre ….. featuring a technicolour fake fly on ketamine, being threatened by a lab-coated munter holding a North Sea trawl net on a stick, being watched by a bloke whose Mum is head of the local quilting society and who has knocked up a shit demo patchwork jacket to show the others how not to do it. This debacle raises the bar and elevates PTFC hatred to a whole new level.

You're welcome.

I totally get where CHC's coming from - but I also believe that every interview given by every manager is just a snapshot in time. Interview a manager after his team's just been blootered 8-0, and then interview the same manager the week after when he's won 8-0. It'd be hard to believe you were talking to the same person. Dougie's never come across as being calculating or negative enough to be deliberately setting low expections or going down the 'plucky wee Morton' rabbithole, but any honeymoon period will inevitably wear off and the wave of newfound belief and enthusiasm amongst the supporters will level out and become more realistic. There are budgetary challenges as we all know, and I'm sure Dougie is frustrated by that. But to me - his frustration will likely be centred around the fact that he wants to win and feels that he currently doesn't have enough quality resources to achieve either his personal goal, or the one he's set for his team and its supporters. That, to me, says more about his overall character than any single moment-in-time interview.

I hope not. The club has enough challenges as it is, without being indoctrinated into a grossly overpriced pyramid-scheme cult.

And apart from his other shan fuckwittery aimed squarely at the dim and gullible, Romano is also a self-confessed Watford supporter, which defines him as an utter cunt. He also has a really shit designer beard which places him in the Falkirk/Partick Thistle hatred class.

Yep. Christiano Ronaldo is apparently desperate to leave Old Trafford so he can come up to Cappielow. Vize said it so it’s 100% true.

I personally think it should be a legal requirement to hate anything which is a festering boil on the hairy arse crack of Glasgow.

What? I’m 300 miles from Cappielow and don’t get up as often as I’d like. But when I can make the trip up, I’m there to see a game, not to be an amateur psychologist or behavioural therapist along with the ‘general consensus’ - whoever they are. Maybe you’d mistakenly wandered into the psychoanalyst’s stand? I’ve certainly never witnessed groups of fans at Cappielow analysing anything other than the state of that week’s pies or which bin pub they’d hit before the game. The only ‘transference’ I’ve ever seen is a pie from hand to mouth in the cowshed. You’re making yourself look like a bit of a chump.

I don’t understand DOT’s point of view, either. As a relative newcomer to the forum, I can’t help noticing the number of members on here who wish players well when they move on - irrespective of whether they’ve performed consistently or not. Those type of posts don’t come across as being written by baying loonies determined to criticise anyone at the drop of a hat. From where I’m standing, the overwhelming number of comments and posts on here are well-reasoned, well thought-out, fair, objective - and usually accurate. Also (and FWIW) if such a vast list of players had indeed been ‘driven out’ by fans, all that tells me is that there must be a hell of a lot of snowflakes playing fitba. Getting stick from the fans when you fuck up goes with the territory.

To be fair, everyone down here said exactly the same thing when Derby signed Dave Mackay back in the 70’s. Too old, too fat and way past his sell-by date. But the contribution he subsequently made to the club’s progress was astounding. Like all the signings so far - only time will tell.

Richard Wilson is from Greenock??? !!!! I don't believe it.

They’re all massive Father Ted fans. The wearing of the man-bra is done in homage to ‘The Mainland’ episode featuring the ‘I Don’t Believe It’ bloke out of ‘One Foot In The Grave’. Just ask @BishopBrennan

I never thought it would happen. But so, so glad that it has. I think it’s possibly largely a result of Dougie’s obvious passion and commitment to succeed, along with his powers of persuasion. Who knows. Brilliant news. I still think he should get the captain’s armband, and I can’t think of anyone in the squad better qualified to lead by example.

Agreed. I liked Gozie and he had some great moments. But you never knew which version of him would run out onto the pitch - the sharp, aware, creative, threatening and productive version, or the lumbering, seemingly unaware-of-everything version who didn’t have the slightest effect on the outcome of a game. Top lad though, and I wish him well. Dougie has to find a replacement who isn’t just good - he has to be consistently good.

Bloody hell. I hope they've got plenty of diesel for the coach - that's a big long list.

I wish I had a crystal ball and knew what Lewis Strapp was going to do. For me, he was probably Morton’s best player last season. It’s worrying that nothing’s moved in that direction yet.

Correct. And everyone in the West Midlands has a speech impediment, all 2.5 million of them. Not as bad as Merseyside, though.
