Fine apart from GC keeping the car park. They should be told to get right to fuck on that too.

Welsh very often looked like he was of McGinty levels trying to kick or header a ball. Remarkable that he seems to be doing well at Celtic but ultimately he wasn't even significant enough with us to really be bothered one way or another, unlike with McKay who was and remains a massive prick.

Agreed. Also, perhaps it’s being a wee bit cynical but I’m not really in any great rush to be congratulating the club for organising a raffle. It’s very far from a big achievement.

I see a raffle is the latest fundraiser, dressed up as a “way to commemorate the season”.

Nobody is going to turn up to watch teams which previously starred the likes of Andrew Dallas. Rangers and Celtic vastly over-estimate the quality of their youth systems imo, there's some amount of dross that gets churned out of them. We really don't need them stinking out the senior league set-up, for an almost endless list of reasons.

Well, yes. If we're to seriously consider the options, we'd need a lot more information; if we don't or can't get it for whatever reason, then they should be dismissed out of hand. The fact that we've reached this stage with such little clarity - as you say, the picture is now murkier than it was months ago - doesn't reflect well on either party and adds valid grounds for scepticism over what MCT are capable of into mix. If we're going to be told these two options are what's on the table, it's really not a sign of devotion to the Raes to say we should be looking to find out what they really mean rather than the vague outlines that have been given. *Which is also a perfectly valid option in itself, and would be my preferred one. I'm not for a minute here trying to defend the Raes and have zero desire to do so, but it's entirely reasonable to want to know what the options we've been given really entail of if MCT are seemingly happy enough to present them to us.

I’m personally inclined to reject the entire premise of both options, but I also think the core point cmdc makes is an entirely reasonable one: for either of them to be credible even as propositions, we’d need a helluva lot more detail than we’ve been given. The thing that concerns me most is that MCT are just rolling over and taking whatever rubbish GC peddle without any kind of questioning or scepticism, which is a staggering level of naivety given the Rae’s conduct at every previous turn. If we’re for a minute to countenance the prospect of them walking away with the stadium or leaving a highly suspect debt on the books, we at the very least need some indication of what kind of securities MCT would be insisting upon to protect the club from the Rae family.

Likely something more tasteful than Crawford’s boots.

Isn't Crawford on record explicitly stating that the debt would be written off if a viable new owner came along? Correct, and they know it fine well. MCT really need to toughen up.

£25 and they don’t even bother their arse to try to cut round the shape of the picture. The rest is best ignored and pretending it doesn’t exist.

There’s no point of that “custom branded” strips if we can’t get a decent training range along with it. Shouldn’t be that hard to get some good trackies made with the colours blue, white and yellow, just knock off a few old Boca designs.

This kind of shite just isn’t acceptable yet it’s happening at every turn. MacKinnon has contrived to drag an already shambolic club to even lower depths of incompetence, total waste of space.

Not particularly a fan of the Admiral tops myself, but to have them so prominent then not sell them is bonkers even by Morton's standards.

Kinda reminds me of Lionel Hutz' business card: "New Website? No, problems!" It looks rotten, the "shop" is particularly farcical having as it does two different versions of a strip to advertise a "crowdie" (whatever the fuck that is) without, as far as I can see, even containing a link anywhere on the entire site to where you can buy an actual strip. The less said about those t-shirts the better.

Even being called “Slaney” makes him sound like a prize tadger.

Ah, fair enough. Can’t claim to be an expert on his time at Hearts but would imagine the point still stands.

Aye, I don’t really know much about the podcast, but nobody with a modicum of knowledge of the Scottish leagues could possibly suggest Witteveen as being anywhere close to the one of the worst players to play in them.

I don't think that really matters, to be honest. None of our recent teams would have been any more interesting if we had been playing Raith or East Fife or whoever else a couple of times instead of Queen of the South.

So in other words, a lack of pace limited his opportunities, i.e. held him back. Anyway, I struggle to really care too much about Tidser. In purely sporting terms it's embarrassing for him to have plunged so low so quickly, but some players simply aren't that arsed about football and will be happy enough as long as they get paid well.

An almost entirely unreliable source, to be honest - very unlikely to be true, but people like a good rumour.

Lawrence Shankland failed a drug test after today's game, apparently.

Greenock's maddest man!

A very fair assessment of Nicolson's. Also, I'm told them Star Hotel has been the unfortunate victim of a minor refurb. Troubled times for the pub scene when even the Star can't be relied upon to be a hovel.

Another rubbish forward is exactly what's needed, I suppose.

He's an absolute fuckin walloper of a boy and therefore should get it tight every time he appears at Cappielow.
