Not so far no. He's not awful by any means but he's the definite weak link in the team in my opinion although you can't argue with our defensive record recently which he's been a part of. He's certainly not a disaster or anything, but he's not reached the heights I hoped for when I saw Dundee fans' reactions to him joining us. He seems quite weak and his positional sense hasn't been great defensively at times. He's offered very little going forward and there's been no sign of any blistering pace that we were told he had when he signed. He's obviously had a bad injury so I have no idea what he was like before but on his showings with us I'd say lower championship/top of league one is his level currently.

The first penalty was definitely for handball as I saw the referee hold his arm up and make the action that the ball had hit an arbroath arm after he'd pointed to the spot. I thought the foul after it was a penalty too tbh but luckily the referee was on the ball to make the correct decision.

Thought Arbroath played quite well in first half even with ten men but second half was only going to be one winner if we got the first goal. Thought the first booking for their sending off was harsh but the second was a stonewall yellow. First penalty was a clear hand ball and I'm pretty sure a morton player was fouled seconds after it as well before he blew the whistle. Second penalty was clear as well, just a tired tackle against Crawford who'd found space to run in to the box. I like to think I'm fair when it comes to referees having howlers for both teams or in favour of Morton but honestly f**k knows what game Arbroath fans seem to have been watching.

The word tad is doing a lot of heavy lifting here regarding Wilson. Looked a clear red card tackle to me from the footage. Penalty for Partick near the end was clear as day as well. Can't remember a game where the referee got so many big decisions wrong, and yet he still managed to make the game all about him handing out bookings like Oprah.

Forgot to mention that the haggis, neeps and tatties pie was a particular highlight of the day. Would take that every week at cappielow.

I thought we played some excellent football in the first half and probably should have been out of sight. The second half turned in to an absolute battle, not helped by the referee who managed to get both sets of players and fans incensed with his decisions. Usually if the match turns in to a battle it suits us but I thought it took us out of our stride and suited Partick more, and once they scored I thought they were the the team looking more likely to win although I only really remember one dangerous shot from them.

You can't buy ppv for our home games but they usually show up on the stick.

Potential penalty still looks an absolute stone waller on the Dundee utd highlights, although there is a Dundee utd vlogger who's camera from behind the goal shows a better angle of Holt pulling Broadfoot more than it looks like from the stand camera. Still the wrong decision from the ref for me. Goodwin is just talking pish about the second yellow though. Unless his analyst has got one of those fake cctv cameras you see in movies where they zoom in clearly on shite resolution images to make a perfect image then there's absolutely no way he has seen Sibbald get a toe on that ball.

DUTV has replays and the penalty was an absolute stone waller and it's a laughably bad decision. Even worse is Holt (I think) had still managed to get free and get a header that was going in even if you could possibly make the argument that Mullen stopped as he was never getting it. Broadfoot has improved a lot recently but that's not the first time this season he's been wrestling an attacker in the box. I've not seen the second yellow again but Goodwin has said he watched replays of it and said its clear he got the ball. I've only saw it once and at the time didn't think there was any contention over the decision and was a clear second yellow so will wait to see it again.

Unfortunately Jim couldn't quite get through talking about Morton to the DUTV reporter without being condescending after his positivity and good grace to the BBC so I'm firmly back in the get it right up you Greetin faced c**t.

We are a physical team in terms of stamina and getting stuck in and we do have an aggressive high press and we also do get the ball up early to the striker to bring others in to play and I love that about us so I have no problem if a manager says it and uses it as a positive which I felt Goodwin did post match (at least on the BBC, his tone may change on in house channels) Too often from him and other managers in this league it's been said in a negative and patronising way that we are a team of hammer throwers that can't pass the ball to each other and just go around kicking opponents which just blatantly isn't true. I thought he pointed out our strengths tonight and praised us for beating them because of it.

Thought he was extremely fair to be honest which is disappointing. He praised us multiple times without being patronising for once. Penalty decision was an absolute stone waller although I thought the second sibbald booking was correct but I don't think I saw a replay.

Aye usually commentators don't correct the other one but the main commentator just spent the game explaining the rules to the other guy

What a win. Excellent first half performance and was gutted we couldn't defend two crosses to go in ahead at half time. Second half was mostly Dundee utd and I'd have been very happy with a point l, especially as their disallowed goal should have either stood or been a penalty to them. Was happy enough having a good laugh at the DUTV Co commentator losing his grip on reality as the half went on and the ref was giving rightful bookings to both teams so to steal it at the end was fucking glorious.

Just a weird thing to say about a player with 13 goals (8 league goals) by the beginning of January despite not being an out and out striker and having a goal highlight reel over the space of 3 years better than any player in this league. You couldn't get more of a championship level player than Robbie Muirhead.

You not got a goalpost to zip tie yourself to?

The homophobe and the guy with the victim complex being the biggest weirdos in this thread is exactly what's wrong with the world today and yet we take it out on XL Bullys.

Why are the homophobes always absolute bellends as well.

Right well in that case I have no interest in getting involved in whatever nonsense you're spouting and ruining this thread any more than we have already. Morton are so back baby. Time to kick on.

What the f**k are you even talking about? No idea what you're even talking about now but don't see what it's got to do with morton fans saying " we are back" or us only being three points ahead of you. You sound like you must be hours deep on the sauce after today's performance so if that's the case I'll let you off.

I see you completely making up weird scenarios in your head about Morton fans in your first post wasn't a one off. Enjoy your night you mentalist.

At no point in my post did I mention the points difference. Maths clearly your strong point in school 'cause your reading is fucking mince.

Our first game was literally the first game of the season and we were bottom of the league in december and have now won 4 and drawn 2 of our last 6 games with 4 clean sheets in a row so please forgive me for pointing out that you're talking absolute pish.

Who?
