Ton in Shawlands Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Not just pace, also awareness/game intelligence. At his age I don't think he's where he should have been gamewise with his early potential. Possibly thought he'd made it too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Not just pace, also awareness/game intelligence. At his age I don't think he's where he should have been gamewise with his early potential. Possibly thought he'd made it too early. There's nothing to say that some of those traits couldn't be worked on by a new manager - including the 'Stuart McCluskey school of leadership' that he developed in the last campaign. Between giving McKinnon a chance to develop his game and not wanting to unsettle the defence, his departure therefore isn't ideal. But the reality is that if the club is serious about challenging for promotion from this level then it shouldn't be a loss - we already have good options and should be targeting at least one more centre-back given Kilday's fitness issues. The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club. It's not supposed to be about point scoring and showing how 'clever' or 'funny' you are, or just being downright rude and offensive to people you don't know, because you can get away with it. Unfortunately, it seems the classic case of people who have little standing/presence in real life, use this forum as a way of making themselves feel as if they are something. It's sad, and I've said that before.. So, having been on Morton forums for about 15 years I guess, I've had enough... well done t*ssers, another Morton supporter driven away.

vikingTON Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 You have to remember VT has Kilday as July in his calendar. Not quite at player porn level of Wake but still worth a wee hand shuffle for VT at the weekend. These are facts. Erm no, the only fact here is that Lee Kilday is a better central defender than O'Ware. As further demonstrated by Kilday - and this is a fact - being the only central defender to have actually received an offer to sign for a top flight club; while O'Ware had to settle for a sideways move to that odious bunch of luvvies in Possil. If we were continuing with Duffyball for another season then keeping hold of Kilday would be a pretty good bet - because if you could get him fit again you'd be able to build a strong defensive partnership with Lamie at this level. If the club is serious about its intentions however, then that's no longer the case IMO. We will be relying on good luck with injuries in any promotion challenge given the club's resources, so it's hard to justify committing part of the budget to any player who has struggled so badly with them. 1 1 The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club.

vikingTON Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 The facts say otherwise, yet again. Which defender received a contract offer from a top flight club and rejected it to play for The Famous? Hint: It wasn't O'Ware. 1 The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club.

vikingTON Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 The market is usually correct and O'Ware has just had an excellent opportunity to find his level - and for now, it's quite clearly 'in the second tier with also-rans again'. 1 The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club.

LargsTON Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 It's certainly a fact that Kilday was scouted by Hamilton but that doesn't prove in any way whatsoever he's a better player than O'Ware. Maybe Morton had enquiries about him from a higher level, who knows. 1 "CORNBEEF IS A BELLEND" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunning1874 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) It's certainly a fact that Kilday was scouted by Hamilton but that doesn't prove in any way whatsoever he's a better player than O'Ware. Maybe Morton had enquiries about him from a higher level, who knows. It's a fact that Hamilton offered Kilday a contract while in the top flight and he chose to stay here instead: http://www.greenocktelegraph.co.uk/sport/14521747.Morton_captain_Kilday_snubbed_Hamilton_Accies_move_to_stay_at_Cappielow/ Maybe O'Ware has had top flight offers too, but on the balance of probability you'd assume not - although had he been out of contract last summer he surely would have.

vikingTON Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Present these facts The facts have already been presented. It's certainly a fact that Kilday was scouted by Hamilton but that doesn't prove in any way whatsoever he's a better player than O'Ware. Maybe Morton had enquiries about him from a higher level, who knows. Kilday was offered a contract which he rejected. O'Ware has just had the perfect chance to get his 'new challenge' at a higher level and had to settle for more of the same instead. The market has spoken on their relative merits as central defenders then. 1 The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club.
