Raith Rovers and in particular, Andy Barrowman can fuck off.

Usually in a sling for minimum 6 weeks and then a gradual build up to return to sport. Surgery has a really high success rate though and he’s a young lad so definitely “could” be back within 12 weeks if all goes well. Keeping fingers crossed his rehab goes well, it can be a tricky process once they start integrating contact. Looking forward to him getting a run in the team.

Nice to see Ali shutting this prick up today with a good performance

He was truly awful last time and looked completely disinterested and devoid of any confidence. Where does he fit in? As an alternative to Lyall? Worrying.

Struggling to understand the reasoning behind not having some form of merch stall open at that today. Shocked at how stupid that is. How many folk attended? A few hundred people in the building and they can’t spend their money!

Brilliant piece of business getting someone like Woods in as a player coach. He has known Dougie for years from their time at Hamilton and had a pretty decent senior career so hopeful he will be able to add something to Mullen’s game.

Didn’t get that at all from that video as he said they have made progress on something like 75% of the pillars in the 3 year strategy he wants to be judged on? Mentioned it near the end of the video. Disappointing there won’t be progress on the land front as huge potential there.

If the club could just somehow make this happen that would be unreal.

Good luck Lewis! Always gave 100% and hopefully we can find someone decent to replace him.

Not 100% here but would we have to pay a compensation fee as he came through Celtic youth so “training costs” would’ve been payable there if they offered him a contract, rejected it and went to Raith?

Think there was huge potential with O’Connor but there was probably an element of him not being fancied as much as the other centre halves. He seemed to be the one that would drop out onto the bench. Thought he looked more than decent at RB earlier in the season too which was frustrating when French was continually playing ahead of him. If he is replaced by someone better that would be ideal and Broadfoot comes in as back up. Dreaming of Ricki Lamie & Liam Grimshaw after the chat on here!

Good to see us continuing to strengthen Ideally we will see some defensive players come in next but if they aren’t available yet, they aren’t available. Patience needed and happy to put trust in Dougie with getting the right ones in the door.

Im sure at the Q&A in the Lighthouse Dougie mentioned Murdoch and O’Boy will probably go out on loan this season.

That decision on Strapp and reduced terms is fucking embarrassing. Interesting there hasn’t been a quick resolution to some of the players with contract offers on the table, the fact it’s dragging on is worrying me.

Quite depressing if we are seeing players like Oakley go to Ayr instead of staying with us.

Dougie’s confirmed at the Q&A a few weeks ago that he wants more pace in the team and particularly at the top end of the park. So it’s exciting to see what the team will set up like come the start of the season. Better budget than before and I’ve got faith that Dougie will pull something out the bag again and replace Robbie. A change in players and system sounds good to me.

McMann must have been around Accies at the tail end of Imrie being there and he’s from Glasgow so maybe he is an option. It would be a statement getting someone in with his experience but I reckon he’s potentially outwith our reach though.

Dougie mentioned at the Q&A about wanting more pace in the team and particularly at top end of the park, I would imagine Crawford will be part of that plan.

Will be gutted to lose anyone to that lot. He’s been there a few years back and didn’t play so hopefully we can get a decent 2 year deal put together for him and get him signed up.

Ex loanee Jimmy Knowles scoring for Boston Utd in National League North!

We need to see if he delivers on the early promise shown here, and the jury is out on that obviously. Sorting turnstiles would be a decent start for many, and as mentioned before Motherwell will be the indicator for that. I don’t remember Hawke/Donaldson or whoever else speaking as positively, giving insight and appearing to genuinely plan for the future. He talks about everyone pulling in the same direction, good people in the building and being on the same page so hopefully we see that come together and we get some progression come the end of the season and we make the playoffs.

What a difference from the days of Hawke / insert any of the other charlatans names here. Really open, positive and proactive with a clear vision going forward

It’s just annoying we can’t seem to get these little things right. Feels like a step back to the Morton of old when things were extremely amateur. Can’t say I’m overly fussed by much of the merch either, will undoubtedly end up with a mug or a towel at Christmas though. All feels a bit thrown together.

Also good for directors of the MCT board to remember it’s the MCT board and not the GMFC board. Just incase, people get mixed up and say they are GMFC directors when telling people and they are actually MCT. And vice versa.

Number 2 is an actual Dumbarton top.
