dunning1874 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Come to think of it, we've just had a season of people failing to figure out that Danny Rogers isn't called Rodgers. I'm not sure I can live with the number of variations of McAdams, McAdam, Macadam, MacAdams we're going to get along with the existing misspellings of Hopkin, McLean, Millar, McAlister, Lyon and Nesbitt we have to suffer.

Madton Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Surely with our jack of all trades recruitment expert, we can bring in someone a bit more high profile and experienced. Don't fancy going into the season with 2 young inexperienced keepers. I don't mind Wylie being number 2 as long as we have a dependable number 1.

dunning1874 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 With training starting today we'll hopefully see some more movement on signings soon. I suppose if we do have loan signings from Premiership clubs in mind they'll probably not come in until late September with the nine subs rule, as even someone clubs are willing to let go might be used to fill out the bench and get some competitive minutes in the meantime. While you'd think Premiership clubs being able to put 9 on the bench will make loans harder to come by, there's also the possibility that later in the window there'll be players available who wouldn't have been in a normal summer. If someone is rarely getting on the bench even when their club has a matchday squad of 20 they might ask to be loaned out themselves when the lower leagues are starting, whereas in a normal season they might have chosen to stay at their club to fight for their place and wouldn't have the option to leave three months into the season after failing to break in.

Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 We're apparently being linked to the loan signing of Livingston striker Jack Hamilton. He's been on loan with Alloa and Queen of the South in the last 2 seasons, scoring against us for both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BishopBrennan Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 1 goal in 15 league games for Alloa and 4 goals in 22 for QOTS doesn't fill me with confidence. You address me by my proper title, you little bollocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinTon Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Think they see him as similar to Dykes, more of a facilitator. Although he didn’t really facilitate Dobbie last season did he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'm not going to get excited about him yet, if he was any good he'd be at a bigger club than us right now.

He's been on loan with Alloa and Queen of the South in the last 2 seasons, scoring against us for both teams. It could just be classic tabloid guesswork, but Hopkin clearly still thinks we need another attacking option if there's truth in this or MacIver (surely it's only one or the other?). I just hope he does get someone who's comfortable at centre forward rather than another 'can play anywhere across the front, best in the middle off a striker but has spent most of their career on the wing' type that we already have half a dozen of. While that is something we need, right back, goalkeeper, and two centre backs are still bigger priorities. I suppose the benefit of the weirdness of this pre-season is you can line loans up for before the season while still having time to get a good look at a parade of free agents trialists without needing to rush in and panic buy, knowing the loans are an easier fallback option than usual.

It's sentences like this from the Rangers supporting 'son of the manse' tweed wearing smartarse which pisses me off: "More than this, who else in our professional game would not have their career were it not for Saddam Hussein?". I will admit having not read the article in full, due to it being behind a paywall, however it's not like the mad mustachioed mullah done anything to further his career in Football unlike Adam Coakley's dad or Zander* Easdale's dad done for them. *stupid fucking name. *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 I'm not sure whether that utterly tenuous attempt at journalism is better or worse than us looking to 'Sittingbourne' - probably a fictional village from a fucking Dickens novel - to complete our squad right now. 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. You can all feel happy at how 'clever' you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfermarkt has him down as a centre forward, but other articles about him moving to Sittingbourne say midfielder. Another "can do a job" signing?
