Decent game this. Cracking strike to put Ipswich back in front.

My problem with the current setup is how often the same teams play each other, over and over and over and over.

 

You can potentially play another team:

4x in the league
2x in playoffs
1x in League cup
1x in Scottish cup
1x in Challenge cup
More in the cups in the event that those teams meet again beyond the group stages.

That's an extreme of 9+ times. A quarter of a team's games in a season And I've probably forgotten about things like replays as I can't be bothered to go and check where those come into play.

Thank heavens the League Cup isn't two-legged anymore, which once caused us to play Hearts 8 times in the same season. All cracking games, though.

Good to see Leeds get pumped.  Now for Ipswich to overhaul them. 

This. Love seeing Leeds getting horsed.

A VVD own goal.

Bit of a stramash but that’s deserved.

Well done Raith.

Now I recommend resting all of those players next week.

What a fucking save that was!

Totally deserved. Raith have been excellent.

Friday night and still no thread. Does anyone care?

I’ll care a great deal if Inverness win tonight.

Heading up to this one, taking my dad for his first visit to Gayfield.

[Dundee v Whoever They're Playing This Weekend (Or maybe that should the the other way round)]

Absolutely raging away end there. Lovely to see.

I’ll go for 10.30pm for The Statement.

Is this the first time you’ve heard him?

Just sounds more desperate than usual tonight.

[Dundee v Whoever They're Playing This Weekend (Or maybe that should the the other way round)]

Commentator seems desperate for Rangers to start playing.

[#Barclays 23/24]

This is fantastic.

Two big guns losing at home - lovely stuff.

No way did the Morton captain pass the armband to someone else whilst playing last night that is absolutely fucking tragic behaviour hahahahaha

The captain was a sub. He got his armband when he came on. Happened a few times this season.

[​​​​​​​ Greenock Morton v Dundee United 12/4/24 (on BBC Scotland)]

Well, that was exceptionally poor.

As clinical as United were, they didn't have the work especially hard for their goals. The defence was really awful at clearing their lines and marking in general. The less said about the 4th goal the better.

I appreciate that some players were running on empty, but why pick that team? This is entirely on the manager and the goodwill from that extended run we had has all but gone. I have a feeling that we may still be in with a chance of finishing 9th on the final day.

Have to assume that hospitality picking Jai for MotM was a dig at Imrie.

Morton have had a really strange season. I've not followed them all that closely obviously but didn't they have a club record unbeaten run, which also brought all-round nice guy Dougie Imrie multiple Manager of the Month awards? Good cup performances too.  How come they're unlikely to even manage a PO place?

 

Crap start to the season, great middle bit, fading away at the end.

Have quite a lot of Morton posters given up on P and B? Your own thread is a bit of a ghost town these days?

As is our forum.

[​​​​​​​ Greenock Morton v Dundee United 12/4/24 (on BBC Scotland)]

No match thread yet and kick off is just over 10 hours away?

Would probably take a point but if we win then the rest of the season will become an easier watch.

[Final positions, playoffs and such...]

I'd like to know how many of those bookings were for dissent, particularly for complaining that they didn't get a free-kick.

Your recall is better than mine. If it wasn't for the video evidence I would have said it didn't happen.

Win the two home games and that should about do it imo

If you don't really want the points tomorrow night, that's fine with us.

After that we have Arbroath (a) and Raith (H) - two sides (presumably) with nothing to play for, which always gives me the fear. Going to ICT on the final day needing to avoid defeat to avoid them catching us isn't a prospect I'm relishing.
