  1. All the best to Davies. Would echo the comments made already and agree it would’ve been interesting to see a couple of early goals under his belt that might just have sparked a wee run for him. 

    Would be great to get Brophy in. He hasn’t been scoring goals for about 5 seasons now but played alongside Imrie for Accies so I’m convinced he will bring out the best in him.

     

  2. Don’t mind Shaw coming back in but would’ve really preferred him in with a full pre season behind him and same goes for Adeloye. Clearly players with ability but injuries/fitness being their main issue so not an ideal scenario.

    Intrigued to see what happens with Keay who seems to be a bit stuck now with no one wanting to pay the compensation for him. Mistake made there as probably too much of a gamble for teams off the back of what 5/6 games in the first team? Would Dougie take him back?

  3. Hopefully not Dabrowski, a total bomb scare. 2nd most over rated keeper in this league behind Ferrie at Queens Park.

    Gutted to see Mullen move to that mob but he’s probably deserved a move somewhere over his time with us. Unfortunately that clanger against Partick finished our season off last year and I had hoped we would get another season out of him at least. 

    Disappointed to see Keay potentially move too as he had a springboard to build from with his performances last season. Absolutely not ready for a jump up in level this early in his career if it is St Mirren.

  4. Piss poor as per and making a rod for their own backs. We need to clear some of these absolute clowns out, thankfully Dale is on his way already so that’s a positive start.

    The lack of transparency and lack of communication on anything other than early bird season tickets and “The Heartbeat of Inverclyde” patter is infuriating.

    It's a sign of how bad our recruitment from down south has been that Bearne, Reynolds, and Davies are probably a slight improvement on previous recruitment (looking at Ramsbottom, Salkeld, Colville, Sterling, Allan, Oksanen, Nicholson, McCormack, Sampayo, etc.). I can't think of much beyond McEntee as being anything near successful (although I'm surely forgetting some players). Some of those were Imrie's signings, some weren't, it's been difficult for whoever our manager has been. With the recruitment infrastructure (or lack of) we have in place, I'm never convinced it's a good idea for us to be giving down that route. 

    Only ones that looked remotely like footballers on that list were Oksanen and Colville.

    Why would Dougie need to step in and do the paperwork?

    Is Dale away yet? Maybe part of the reason.

    And as part of the pro licence I think there are extended roles that means he can now be more involved in policy type stuff “if required”.

    We are undoubtedly thin on the ground throughout the club so it maybe ties in.

  7. Could this open the door to bring Millen back in? I’m sure the damage is potentially irreversible but wonder if it could be an option now Dale is off.

    On the squad update, disappointed to see Lyall move on. If he’s going to a Falkirk or Livi then fair enough but if he’s signing for someone else at this level he would’ve been better looking for some continuity and consistency with us for another year.

  8. After reading the Q&A release I was very surprised that Laird as a Morton fan and successful businessman (citing gmfc.net) isn’t involved in having a MCT membership / monthly contribution. Especially as MCT said previously there are contributors (?businessmen) who are putting in more than the standard minimum payment.

  9. All the best to Baird, would say he’s probably deserved that move and wouldn’t grudge him it at 29 years old. He will be a tough one to replace and as mentioned before hopefully at the very least there has been attempts made at our end to keep players….Im sure we probably haven’t bothered our arse though.

    While waiting for the cup final to start I thought I’d have a trawl through any communication we have had from the chairman. This extract is from him on the announcement that he would be our new chairman 18 months ago. I’d be interested to hear how well he thinks he’s done in achieving the goals he set out…

    “My role will involve several key duties covering,

    1. Providing strong leadership and guidance to the Board of Directors.

    2. Leading the Board and focusing it on setting a challenging but achievable strategy vision.

    3. Overseeing the business and setting high governance standards.

    4. Develop the club and position the club to achieve its goals and objectives.

    This is a community club and my vision for it begins with strengthening the connection between you, the supporters, and the leadership of the club. The fans are the heartbeat of all clubs, and you are no different. Communication and teamwork are of paramount importance, and I will be as transparent as I possibly can. Whilst you may not agree with every decision I make; I will always put the interests of the club first.“

    Safe to say that those key duties should be under review as looks like a complete failure to me.

  11. Would be interesting if Imrie takes the Partick job and we then get an open and honest account of what’s actually happening from him. It would carry a lot of weight with us I reckon. 

    This motion being touted absolutely has to be voted as a No and the culprits behind the whole debacle emptied. They absolutely cannot be anywhere near it after what’s went on. If they are still in place they will rightly be hounded by the fans when games come around.
