Imrie wants a team to reflect him on the park, give 100% and leave nothing on the pitch. One thing that our squad hasn’t learnt yet……is to be more street wise and get in about the ref. All night the ref was getting Utd players in both ears and we are nowhere to be seen. Nobody is stepping up , nobody in a Ton shirt is getting angry. Despite the big bad Morton rhetoric, we are toothless. No players are getting angry, nobody other than Dougie directing traffic from the dugout. Same happened on Saturday…… ICT in about the ref all game. We need to learn to step up and play that game as well as start passing the ba’ on the deck………

One thing that’s been apparent over the last three (Airdrie, Raith and ICT) is that opposition players appear to be throwing themselves to the deck at even the slightest contact…….and the referee’s keep buying it, awarding multiple fouls against us. Today was laughable and ICT came with a game plan, as well as a plan to get into the head of the ref and stand side line-o. And it worked. I don’t think it’s naïveté on our part, but we need to manage that aspect of our game better if other teams are playing up to the big bad Morton rhetoric and going down like there’s a sniper in the stand …….so, if yer going to foul the opposition, make it a good one and at least leave something on them……

Witnessed some bizarre and stupid decision making from stewards today. On the very day we’ve welcomed under 15’s for free into the stadium under supervision of an adult. Usual second half, lots of kids run behind to be behind the Sinclair St goal. They were generating some +ve atmosphere and looked like around 60 kids. I watched as stewards were on the terrace, attempting to push kids back away from the pitch side wall. A line of five stewards standing on the terrace to keep kids away from getting too close to the wall ? Whoever was in charge needs their head shaken. Stewards in the wrong place, getting hands on the kids to manoeuvre them - just the wrong approach and showing significant inexperience. You don’t put hands on kids……unless you’ve good reason to eject them. Half way through the second half, five stewards retreated onto the track (where they should have been in the first place) but still a line of five, blocking views of youngsters. I despair at these clowns in charge of the stewards………
