Was Tyler French involved in some sort of madcap bodyswap incident around the time he left Dundee for Morton?
We've been wondering the same thing all season. He was highly regarded by Dees fans who were really looking forward to him going back to them fully fit after the serious leg break halfway through last season. The whole objective of him coming to Cappielow on loan was to get match-fit. But he's just been bang-average. No sign of the pace going forward that we thought he had - he's been just a bog-standard Championship defender who's only realistically in our starting XI because we don't have anyone else. A great disappointment. In his defence, that injury would have ended the careers of many players - it was a really bad one. I've actually wondered if he's subliminally avoiding getting stuck in through fear of another injury. Who knows.
All the best for the playoffs.

It’s not the despair. The despair I can deal with.
It’s the hope ….

Tedious dirge on the pitch - but a somewhat poignant visit to Gayfield for me today. I'll really miss it. Chatting to a few Lichties fans over a pint after the game, and their conscensus was that having the opportunity to press the 'reset' button and re-group over the summer is not necessarily a bad thing. The lads were all scunnered (obviously) but hopeful that the combination of having a fully-fit squad, along with some much-needed changes elsewhere will see a much stronger Arbroath side out on the pitch next season. Fair play to them for showing such optimism in the face of disappointment. All the best for next season.

I hope the Raith players have the decency to wear masks upon leaving the stadium.

Almost had a heart attack there until I clocked that 'RR' refers to Rob Roy rather than Raith Rovers.
It might be a mystical blend = Roy of the Rovers.

ChatGPT's selection is... interesting.

Seems like the whole of the Championship support - plus a couple of League 1 supporters - plus a token Premiership supporter - have turned out en masse to gloat over our ignominious defeat at the hands of the imminent champions. I have to say that some of the contributions have been classic P&B comedy gold, and fair play to all those who've somehow managed to make me raise a smile amidst the general gloom and despondency.
Next season will be better.
Honest.

Highlights of the night for me so far?
1 Discussing a smoked sausage supper with an Ayr supporter.
2 Discussing the merits of Diablo red wine with a Queens supporter.
The perfect summary of a classic Morton season.

That said, taking great pleasure in everyone associated with Greenock Morton FC having an absolutely miserable night.
Aye? A bottle and a half of Diablo in (so far) and I'm just absolutely fucking fine. I sincerely appreciate your heartfelt concern, though.

I feel really bad about that. Not that I left chippy holding my chippy, more that I could have destroyed a chippy after that conversation. Don’t suppose you kept it?
Sorry mate. Your order was simply too good to waste. It's now coloured a mucky brown and is floating around in a sewage works somewhere in Ayrshire. Next season for sure, though. All the best

I’m a big believer in negative karma.
Aye? That's a bit rich coming from someone who shamelessly left a poor Morton supporter stood in an A77 layby holding a recently-purchased smoked sausage supper smothered in red sauce/tons of salt/gallons of vinegar, clutching a can of mega-sugar IrnBru 'Xtra-Diabetes-Heavy-Glesga-Limited-Edition'. And for an Ayr supporter, too. But since I'm a South Ayrshire resident and all-round solid no-bitterness laddie - I'll allow it. I look forward to both of our teams achieving our standard mid-table mediocrity next time around.

I’d have liked to have seen you back in the top flight even if just for one season. Hey ho.
Cheers for the kind words. But hey-ho as you say. Another standard season for us. One day maybe - it's what keeps us showing up in the Cowshed every week.

United don't look like they've needed to get our of 1st gear either, this looks like a cakewalk for them without having to really work for it. This is a much different Morton to the one we've seen earlier in the season, whats happening?
f**k only knows. It's hard to believe that the nucleus of the team we're watching right now is the same as the one who went 16 games unbeatren, who put Motherwell to the sword in the Cup, who gave 3rd-best-in-the-Premiership-Hearts a decent contest in the quarters, who put DUFC to the sword 2-3 at Tannadice, who annihilated Pars 0-5 at EEP etc. etc. etc. My only saving grace from this is that I don't feel as scunnered as my Lichties mates on here must feel.
Fitba ......

True - but looking at the Arabs forum earlier in the season, no-one had a good word to say about him. Took his time to settle in, maybe?
Ignore this post.

As is our forum.
Exactly why I don't venture there. The same 10 week in -week out contributors don't make for interesting reading. Bring on P&B with a combination of good guys and roasters from the other Championship outfits.

@shizzlemanizzle Bought and paid for. Smoked sausage I assumed - along with non-diet full-sugar IB (true Scots). See you in 10 minutes before it goes cold.

@Richey Edwards Love you too
Keep up the good work. Your posts always raise a smile.
PS - I also used to have an inferiority complex. But I came to terms with it when I finally realised that I was actually inferior.
All the best.

@Richey Edwards I actually meant it as a compliment !!!! Quality contributor.

Right. I’m waiting on the bypass.
It only bypasses Maybole (and rightly so). Girvan is unscathed and untouched. See you in the chippy later.

That's a pretty poor effort by your normally impeccable standards, mate. But everyone has an off night.

Scott Brown is one of the most tactically astute, articulate up-and-coming young managers in Europe today.
Aye. He's so tactically astute, articulate and up-and-coming that he can't guide his team to beat a bunch of hammer-throwing, drug-addicted thugs from the arse end of Inverclyde, managed by an allegedly misogynistic headcase.
Impressive.

A fair assessment all round VT, but ultimately still disappointing nonetheless given our tremendous mid-season form - especially the point at which a win would have taken us to 3rd above Partick. It felt like we were unstoppable and going like a steam train - but we then just brickwalled. But hey ho. Onwards and upwards to next season.
