  1. Game management / rode their luck - what pish. Get the ball in the back of the net.
  2. Fair play to the Rovers medical staff who have conditioned their players to recover so quickly when they fall down like they've been shot by a sniper. Shower of blouses.
  3. The new President has already taken a initial step to look at improving fan engagement and hopefully he'll follow it through. Communication has always been very poor and my impression is that no one really has had this under their remit of late. Should it have been the President, the Secretary or the CEO? My take on the AGM was that it was relatively successful in terms of telling the members what was going on. I think we all understand that the Willie Haughey involvement brings a more "complex" dynamic to the club and we'll just have to roll with it and hope that this involvement is, overall, a positive one. Without it, I honestly think we'd be jookin' it out with Berwick and Cowden to be the best of the ex-SPFL clubs in the Lowland League. Hopefully the change in committee personnel will give the place the shake up that's needed in terms of listening to the paying punters.
  4. Memo to self - cut n paste this comment for repeating when Welsh scores hat trick against ICT.
  5. I remember a famous referee of the past (Bob Valentine?) saying that he hated officiating at "wee" games as he heard the individual shouts of abuse. He didn't bother about 30,000 chanting he was a b*****d but one guy down the front of an empty stadium questioning his sexuality or calling his wife an ugly cow hit home.
  6. Quite an important night as the Club's AGM is being held. There's been plenty of totally warranted flak going the Club's way in the past few years so hopefully people turn up and support those with an agenda for change who are standing for election.
  7. No QP fan has claimed that what we're doing is sustainable. Most clubs in Scotland are propped up by benefactors in an unsustainable way. We're maybe a wee bit more unsustainable than most. Mind you, if the mad stories about our young goalie going to Old Trafford for a £million are correct, we only need to produce one of these guys every year and we're laughing!
  8. Dunning 1974 - I didn't take issue with anything about the running of Morton recently. Good luck to you in what you are doing now. My point is that you find yourself where you are (ie in a great financial situation) through a wealthy benefactor writing off the investment. Virginton not for the first time in commenting on us, didn't acknowledge that when it's the most important contribution to your enviable situation. As for the £400k loan, have a look at the Golden Casket accounts. As I said, best of luck in what you're doing financially. Hope you crash and burn on the park though......
  9. You lads are all over this thread telling us our new manager is a fanny. How do you expect us to react?
  10. To finish off, I couldn't give a shit about what he did. He's our guy now and I'm happy to support him 100% until it all goes tits up.
  11. The future of about 90% of managers is to be sacked. Managing the likes of Livi, County, Saints is a poisoned chalice in Scotland. One slip and you're in the shite. Again, if he "utterly destroyed" the club and drove it to a state of being almost bankrupt, you should be looking at the people running the club who should have reined him in. Anyway, I'll be giving him the benefit of the doubt. As for taking years to recover, would you swap this for the two cup wins?
  12. Loads of negativity here from Saintees. When were you so successful as when you won two cups in the same year? I'd be happy with either one of the League Cup or Scottish Cup. If you let him overspend that's the fault of the club and not the manager. Pleased that Nuijten has been retained.
  13. Aye, but they're both just about to improve immensely via these two crucial signings.
  14. The insistence on the African Nations Cup being referred to as the African Cup of Nations.
  15. The fightback is in full flight! Second bottom now.
  16. Whatever the combination of pish and shite is. Skitters would probably sum it up.
  17. And repeat. Week after week it's the same story. To be fair, there was dig there but we look short on quality. The guys deserve credit for the hard shift. I wonder if the Thistle lads hadn't been wearing short sleeves they might not have tumbled down injured so often? What a mob for squealing like Jessies.
  18. Jeezy peeps, another post from you on the Morton route to financial success. You forgot: A club that was bankrolled by a wealthy benefactor for years, allowing it to live beyond its means. A club whose wealthy benefactor who recently wrote off a loan of £400k A club whose wealthy benefactor also wrote off its investment in the club and very kindly transferred shares to the fans rather than, as it could have, sold it off to the highest bidder. If your erstwhile wealthy benefactor hadn't been so good as he stepped back, clearing all that was owed by you and had been invested in you via shares, you'd be in the shitter so, please, no more back slapping posts about how well you are doing financially.
  19. I'd be very surprised if we don't race to the top of the "players with facial chib mark" league as we look to bring in loan players to augment / toughen up our young squad.
