Is the live streaming service still going to be available for folk overseas?

Miller took a while to get going, so there might be an argument that A. Crawford could be the same. However with a new season, we need to aim as high as possible and from what we saw of Crawford, he didn't really add much to the team. Also, it feels as if he personally cost us a playoff position with that dreadful penalty at Gayfield.

I have one of those that was done as a limited edition for some anniversary or other a few years ago. Rarely wear it as despite being a medium size, it is far too big (and I normally get a large for most clothing items). It is though a really iconic strip and was I think what Morton wore when I went to my first ever Morton game almost exactly 60 years ago - certainly was the home strip during the 63-64 season. No sponsorship logo, which would be a big plus.

Unless it's a matter of cost control, or Strapp himself is desperate to leave (which impression I don't get from the statements made), why would we want to downgrade? Based on Strapp's performances over the last few seasons, I think we would find it hard to upgrade. I don't have any problem with Waters as he seems to have done OK for us, but Strapp is a big loss to us and I am astonished at Dougie's attitude. I think if Lewis can get a gig that pays significantly more, then yes, he would be daft not to take it, but to just tell him he's not wanted at Morton for footballing reasons seems ridiculous. Someone mentioned Tumilty further up this thread - I notice he was at left back on Tuesday. I wouldn't be averse to having him back if he can play LB and he certainly seemed to like pushing forward. I know many don't have any time for him due IIRC to remarks he made when he left, but it's a different Morton now with proper management. worth considering IMHO if Strapp doesn't end up staying.

Reece has been getting good reviews all season. As has Annan striker Tommy Goss - maybe worth a look?

I'm disappointed if it's true that Imrie doesn't even want to keep Strapp. He's one of our best players and whilst I think he would probably leave in search of more money anyway, to effectively release him without even trying to retain him seems a bit daft. who has he got pencilled in that would do a better job - and as for his lack of height, IIRC that didn't stop Imrie playing him at centre back on occasion. Will be very disappointing if he ends up at another championship club (unless it's the English championship). I did wonder if Calum Waters might be incoming - he seems to have done a reasonable job while with us. That goal on Saturday was decent even if it wan't intentional - the ayr keeper must be somewhat disappointed with making such an arse of it.

Astonishing how proactive Morton have become this season.

72 I think they said.

http://stats.football.co.uk/head_to_head/greenock_morton/vs/queen_of_the_south/index.shtml Can only see 1 game during O'Ware's time with us where we scored three goals or more (15th March 2016). We were three nil up at half time in that game (2 goals from Denny Johnstone & one from Paul Mcmullan). Can't imagine why anyone would be booing the team in those circumstances. Strangely, that table suggests we played 5 league games against them that season, which looks like a mistake unless it's something to do with that game that was abandoned due to a supporter needing medical attention after collapsing

Push for the title would be better…

Presumably they will be paying a new management team at the same time, so the money is still going to disappear, just not right away.

Intrusive apostrophe. That merits automatic relegation.

Am fine - it was just a quick check that took 5 minutes to do. You'd be amazed what they can do with fibre optic light pipes. And where they can put them. All absolutely fine and cleared to go to the QP game on Saturday.

I was in hospital yesterday having fairly uncomfortable things done to me, so wasn't able to keep up with the major news stories such as that one. Going to be quite funny if anyone ever signs a player actually called James Gourlay...

I caught the last 20 minutes of Hamilton's game last night, and I noticed Tumilty playing for Hamilton - seems to have signed for them yesterday.

Found his level.

King could play at LB but I feel he would be more productive in midfield. Has a good shot in him and his goal against Queen of the South demonstrated that he has ability. Strong and powerful. I reckon he’s going to be a player whichever position he settles in. Gives us options.

Certainly seems to me that not having to start from scratch every season is a good thing - as long as the players we have are good enough.

This thread seems to have gone way off piste. Who gives a fuck about the Irish leagues? OK, we've signed someone on loan from Glentoran (someone who wasn't considered to be much good in a pretty poor Queen of the South team that got relegated) but FFS can we not maybe discuss who else we would like to sign or who we'd like to punt?

I don’t expect him to be here next season. However if we did offer him an extension which he accepted on the understanding we wouldn’t stop him moving on, it would mean we would get a fee when he left. I just hope he goes to an appropriate level, not the likes of Livi.

I would love it if we announced an extension for Strapp…

Presumably this ends the Brandon rumours.

Ah, right back - yes, I remember him now.

Football fans don’t like good food? Personally if I was paying £100 or more for hospitality I’d be hoping for something better than pie and chips with another pie at half time. Maybe a different menu could be available at extra cost for those who actually appreciate good food. Having said that, the steak pies from the Cowshed stall are excellent.

Maybe my age but I have absolutely no recollection of Brandon.
