Just now, Spider1975 said:
Yeah, I'm sure MB's good and all that, but where's he going to find someone to annoy, Dundee, Greenock, Ayr, Airdrie and anyone else's fans in equal measure?
Looks like Coyle hates Queens Park more than all of us combined.

Miles ahead of where I expected.
From a pre season where we were already tipped for relegation to then one where the managers budget was drastically cut to the point he almost left the club at one point because of it and with a real looming financial crisis on the cards and the potential failure of fan ownership that lead to us naming one sub and the son of our main sponsor starting the season as our only striker to receiving transformative investment from Dalrada without giving up any control of the club that allowed us to improve all aspects of the club, purchase land outside the ground to transform in to some sort of fan experience pre match next season, and build a competitive squad of decent and hard working players in the image of what Morton fans desire most from their players that were enjoyable to watch most weeks, the majority of which are all signed up for next season.
It's been one of the most enjoyable seasons for us in a while, and a lot of that is to do with how for the first time in a lot of the fans lifetimes, the club feels closer to the community and heading in the right direction off the pitch as much as on it, which is why although missing the playoffs on goal difference was disappointing, I've yet to speak to a Morton fan who wasn't over it almost instantly and looking forward to next season.

At this point I'd take Falkirk coming back and losing the final instead so we can laugh at Airdrie as well.

Why must you airdrie.

There's going to be a generation of Falkirk supporting kids who have never seen their club playing Scottish Championship football. Wee shame for them.

The Union Flag was there because it was the City Chambers you arse.
I wasn't being serious you silly goose. Bit weird you defended the flag part so passionately but weren't offended by the nazi salute comment.

A lovely day today.
GIRFUY 'Doogie'.
Thank you.
Union Jack pride of place and nazi salute from blue jacket. Not surprised in the slightest.

I see the SPFL have given clubs permission to stream tonight's games on PPV. Will cove be offering that or do you not have the facilities to anymore?

Still stunned how many opposition fans watch our manager's post-match interviews. The day I use up actual minutes of the only life I'll ever get to live to listen to what Dougie Imrie or Paul Hartley or whoever has to say, you'll know I've given up.
To be fair I wouldn't watch a video of Owen Coyle in a match where you'd beaten us which is why I've unfortunately watched four videos of Owen Coyle this season.

Strapp and Roy are both out for the season according to Imrie in his pre match interview. Roy hasn't really done much but by all accounts he cost us peanuts and was basically a bonus signing due to his personal circumstances allowing him to come back to Scotland.

We've struggled to break down teams like Cove all season while giving teams like Dundee and Queens Park tough games so I'm definitely not counting any chickens for Friday night. We've given ourselves a chance though and I have faith in these players to go out and get their side of the job done.

Especially good after yesterday. We were the only team even trying to play football, we passed them off the park while their sole tactics were flinging elbows and raking studs down legs. 2-1 utterly flattered Queen's Park there.
I watched the highlights this morning wondering if Morton had edited out lots of Queens Park good play/chances that Coyle was talking about and then I realised I was watching the Queens Park highlights.

Just saw Calum Ferrie's interview and the victorys always taste so much sweeter when the opposition can't help but trot out the " they do what they do well" pish we get every time they've been pumped.

Local paper reporting that Tidser is after our youth academy player Reece Lyon who is currently on loan at Annan.
Never quite lived up to his potential so far but he's made over 100 appearances for us and definitely has ability and also seems to be having a good second half of the season with Annan.

Thought I was going to have to come on and plead my case for Baird to be in my team alongside Grimshaw but I see he's had a few mentions.
Utterly flabbergasted at how good he's been this season to be honest. Barely lost a header all season, has scored 6 goals o think and performs at least a 7/10 most games, rarely dropping below a 6/10. Probably suits playing for a team like us that just want our defenders to defend but he's been my Morton player of the year above even Grimshaw.

We were favourites for relegation in pre season then we had a financial crisis that left us playing youth players with no subs until we got external funding. The squad is much better now but not going down was our sole aim this season to start with.

In a league that contains Cove and Hamilton. Really? The bookies certainly didn’t make Morton favourites for relegation.

Shame for us that Dundee scored just as the fans were really starting to get on their players and the referee.
Pretty even game with Dundee perhaps having the better attacking situations however their final ball has been absolutely dreadful.
Big second half for our season coming up.

Does Imrie only have one pair of trousers? Tell me you’re from Greenock without telling me you’re from Greenock…
He's not from Greenock?

Morton battle hard and had some decent moments but QP by far the better football side. Morton Manager lacked a bit of class at the end trying to have a go at QP fans, it was a draw mate relax.
Shields must score the chance before half time. 3-0 at the break and it’s over. Then a perfectly good goal disallowed from Eze.
Really poor from Charlie Fox for the first Morton goal. There’s only 1 runner into the box just feckin look over the shoulder and get close.
Jack Thomson and Savoury outstanding for me. Loads of good performances but just not enough sadly.
Oh well, congrats on the 2-2 victory it was a good day out for you lot.
Congratulations on your one point against us this season which is still one point more than your pointless post.

Coyley's tears tonight are even more glorious after he gave it the old " Morton have a certain way of going about things" pish again. Nae luck big man.

Hmm, this is what I expected. But who knows! We really need someone that can hold up the ball in the final third and maybe Gavin Reilly could be our man!
He was good for us last season in the championship once he got his first goal. He was the championship player of the month in January 2022.
Up until he got his fitness going and that first goal he was pretty useless but once he was up to speed he was an extremely valuable member of our starting 11 and most Morton fans would have been more than happy for him to stay at us.

So it turns out our first goal was neither offside or a foul on Ferrie.
Didn't realise at the time that Oakley showed a decent bit of composure to make sure he got the shot away for his second. Very unlucky not to get his hattrick as well with the one off the post.
Muirhead will be disappointed with the free header and the one on one he missed. We need to keep him scoring consistently to keep his confidence up so hopefully he can bang in a couple next week.
