Best Signing - Wilson or Strapp.
Worst Signing - Jack Harkness
Most Significant Goal - Big George's goal against Motherwell.
Best Game - Dundee United 2-3 Morton or 5-0 win at East end.
Worst Game - 2-1 loss v Dunfermline on the Friday night. Poisonous atmosphere

Were these put up by the club or by supporters themselves?
I think they were put up by the Cowshed boys. They have a twitter feed and have been selling merchandise for a while. They made the signs for the cup games and paint the wall at the toilet entrance too.

There are absolutely no small margins to be discussed here. Dundee Utd were streets ahead in every department last night. On top of not actually being good enough, the majority of our players look heavy legged and extremely low on confidence. If we did get the penalty when we were 3-0 there was still no chance of us getting back into the game, let’s be serious here.
There is though. Muirhead shot goes in at 2-0 and we go into the second half with our tails up. If jai wins a penalty then it goes to 3-1. Not disputing it would have seen us win the game however it could have finished closer.
-
Always going to be a tough ask against the team at the top of the league but deary me we have to defend better and clear our lines.
Ifs and but incoming however if Muirhead scored in the first half and we get the penalty in the second it's a different game. Small margins.

Looking forward to seeing that head steward trying to justify her existence for half an hour before kick off tonight by trying to find a swastika on each of these.
These are tremendous

I can't agree with anyone saying Muirhead and Crawford shouldn't be here next season. One is our top goalscorer while the other who hasn't been at his best this season with the ball has worked his arse off in every game he plays and has been unlucky not to chip in with a few goals.
We absolutely need to upgrade some positions and improve strength in depth which is a challenge but we shouldn't be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Got to stop that ball into the box for the goal.

Am I the only member of the Morton support who isn’t actually that impressed with your man, Dale?
Any particular reason mate?
I think he's been a breath of fresh air and knows what direction he wants the club to go in.

I'm hoping Raith are out of the promotion race by the time we play them( remember how shite we were once we knew the league challenge was over in 2013) Arbroath are relegated, their players have chucked it and are thinking about their summer holidays and Inverness are resigned to 9th on the last day so play kids to keep their first team fresh for their 1st playoff game.
Easy 9 points right there for the last 3 games!
Swap QP for Inverness please.

I have absolutely no idea of the reason he doesn't do interviews and if someone could enlighten me rather than the cloak and dagger pish that would be great.
Again it's like there is a whole God thing around him, can't have a go at him for being rightly pish for the last few months can't do interviews for some mysterious reason, let it go the reason people have a go at him is completely justified.
There's a 'god thing' around him but he's arguably the one player who get the most abuse from fans?
There are other players who have been much poorer than him this season. I'm one of Robbie Crawfords biggest fans but he's had very little impact on games this season although his workrate cannot be questioned. Don't see him getting abuse every week. Perhaps Dougie plays them both as he sees a balance between the 2?

I would not be adverse to seeing Muirhead off at the end of the season. He may be a gifted player but with the style we play he is carried more often than not. I doubt many of his goals have come from open play (happy to be proved wrong).
Good to see Broadfoot and Crawford too bring his arms down. Proper professionals the both of them. Broadfoot, even at his age, is deserving of another year for us, but ideally I'd like to see us have at least 4 CBs next season.
Behave. Where would we be without his 16 goals this season?
-
Muirhead has scored 16 goals this season and will have a few assists as well. He has a right to be pissed off with some of the fans given the ridiculous comments on this forum and at games. He seems to be an easy target when things aren't going well but for me he's got enough credit in the bank from this season and last. How he carries himself, his body language and running style can look very relaxed at times but let's not forget the games he's worked his arse off as well. No player can do that for 90 minutes.

I’ll give Jai the benefit of the doubt as he hasn’t had much game time but to me he doesn’t look up to speed yet. He’s by no means slow but his electric pace used to get him beyond defenders like Maverick switching on the afterburners. Hopefully he’ll get that back with game time. Injuries don’t heal overnight.
Did you see him today? Albeit a short time on the pitch but he looked quick and strong
-
Job done. First goal crucial and glad we got it. Thought wee Bearne was superb today just for his attitude and effort alone. Delighted for big Robbie given his recent performances and he shut a few arseholes in the shed up as well. Thought Jai looked strong and quick when he came on. Queens Park moved the ball about well but offered nothing up front.

I was entering the cowshed through the gate on Sat and a steward stopped and searched me. I jokingly asked what he was looking for and he replied that he was checking for pyro! A guy in his early 40s walking into the ground with his son. Must have a suspicious look about us

Yes it really was though:
"As has been said we need to get more involved in schools. Back in my day even the likes of Martin Doak, John McNeil and Jim Holmes would even turn up to Cubs and Boys brigade events and they weren't even full time!!
Reaching out to local boys clubs who obviously have an interest in the game is a no brainer as they would provide coaches to watch the youngsters and it would be highly likely to add some parents through the turnstiles.
We have "a good bunch of lads" who were not utilising enough if @ all in the future support. How often is there a first team player or 2 showing up at youngsters prize giving events/sports days nowadays? First team football doesn't end when you walk off the training pitch imho."
It really wasn't.
Regardless of what posts you quote that wasn't the reasoning behind my point.

That was the entire premise of the post you responded to, with a 'missing a trick' claim.
I'm hardly chief cheerleader for Community based engagement, but I'm really not seeing how we're missing out on some obvious sure-fire way to build the fanbase, on top of what is already taking place along similar lines.
No it wasn't.

First team players are regularly involved in those engagement activities though, as a browse through MITC content would demonstrate. Leaving aside the fact that it's not actually a footballer's contractual obligation to grow the fanbase - that's commercial/marketing behind the scenes - the idea that they're not doing their bit is nonsense.
I didn't say anything about players not doing their bit?
I do think with the 500 odd kids involved with MitC through football the club could be more proactive with that partnership. If the kids sign up for a team or a community session then could we have them as part of a 'Young Ton' group or something similar where they get a newsletter, tickets to games, vouchers for merch on their birthdays etc. Just a suggestion.

Re the support.... From what I've seen or heard there has been little movement to try to encourage youngsters and parents along.
I'm well aware tickets for youngsters are @ nominal prices but that on its own is clearly not swelling the crowds on its own.

I've been beating this drum for a number of years and have seen many other comments along similar lines. Hopefully this time next season we'll see some of this come to fruition
MITC engage with over 500 kids through their football teams, community sessions and holiday camps. Seems like the club and the community could be missing a trick there.

What are we/have we done about trying to get an extra 550 people other than offer a small match package for remaining home games. There needs to be more grass routes work done on that front IMO
Any suggestions? I've said in the past that we could offer say 10 adult and 10 child tickets to every primary school in Inverclyde. Say there's approx 15 primary schools in the area that's 300 tickets that we could be making money from in merchandise, programmes, 50/50s and food. If the kids enjoy it they come back the next week and perhaps regular visitors.

First and foremost, the transparency here is excellent. You'll not get anything like that from another Championship club.
The headline figure that we're heading for around a £200K profit this season even if we finish 8th is great news. Obviously we're not going to get Celtic or Rangers away every season, but it seems like we're moving into a more stable position with every year and the profit from this season can be used to increase the first team budget for next season, even with some of it being held back to keep us on an even keel in the event cup runs and/or a higher league position than budgeted don't materialise.
Totally agree. Really refreshing to have an update of that depth.
I do wonder what the future holds for the ground. I know it's a struggle to get the safety certificate every year. Something will eventually have to give. Great to hear we have support from local business people such as dalrada, hungry squirrel and fanbase who have an interest in the club and the community. In a really tough financial climate that has to be appreciated.
-
Wasnt sure whether to outbtis in the MCT thread or here. Positives that we made a profit last season and look to be doing so again this season. Budgeting for an 8th placed finish will obviously have an impact on the figures given where we finished last season and hopefully this season! I'd love to see the budgets for each team in our league. Michael says that we're punching above our weight which I don't dispute but the numbers would give us context.
He's also been quite honest in that the fanzone hasn't moves on as quickly as the club had planned - hopefully see progress with staff coming into the club. What he said about attendances is disappointing. Would love a magic wand to keep even 10% of that home crowd from the cup games.

For what it’s worth I think he’ll be a loss to the club.
He's an attention seeking fanny.

It could be. Might be.
Might also be a way to:
- answer common themes of questions
- keep a nice running order of those themes (rather than bouncing around subjects)
- keep the session timely while getting through all the questions
- allow the panel to construct their answers properly (hopefully not in a politician-type way, but answering questions properly without the pressure of thinking off the top of their head in front of a live crowd)
- avoid the inevitable, awkward scenario of people not being particularly articulate with their questions
There’s pros to opening it up for questions on the night as well but given the above I’m not being totally cynical about their decision.
Tam Cowan asked for any questions last week even though loads had been emailed in.
