The son. For now.

Funny view of 'shafted' - being given a contract extension that you shouldn't have got that will now likely get paid up even though you have just plummeted the club down the league, costing them quarter of a million in the process.

Duffy's appointment was preposterous at the time but worked out well. Proved most of us wrong and has arguably been Dougie's best appointment. He survived many points where he could, and maybe should, have been emptied (limping over the league 1 line after being bailed out by Dougie's chequebook, losing to Spartans, last season's collapse). He thankfully down't survive another (this season's collapse that cost us £200-250k). He would have survived the dodgy decisions had it not led to such a dramatic drop. Time was up but he goes with best wishes.

They are already heavily involved in the club, they have far too many business ties to the area to try to f**k the football club, they aren't historical asset strippers. Yes, there's plenty dodgy about them but it makes no sense to suspect they will do anything like HS. Also, some ruthless b*****ds running the club might actually stop the acceptance of mediocre.

Club director unlikely to demote himself to manager.

Halle-fuckin-lujah

Well, that one is highly unlikely.

He owns shares in the club. So you would imagine, yes.

Absolutely no comparison.

Barely. A 33% win ratio over 4 years in the bottom tier, which included a last place finish, 2 9th place finishes and OK, making the playoffs in year 4. Nobody in their right mind would have taken that and brought it to a full time club that needed instant success to get back to the Championship. It was a preposterous appointment at the time, that fortunately worked out OK

The same was said about Duffy before we scraped him off the bottom rung.

Well... that made sense.

Don't think Ayr will get through the playoffs so unlikely unless we draw them in the cup.

Very concise. Good account for all the 'outside looking in' commentators that Duffy is doing a good job. You 100% sure on the 1-0 Dumbarton game? Did he not pluck a 3-5-2 from nowhere with both Lamie and Luca playing?

He did, although it wasn't a direct result of the St Mirren game, the contract had been on the table and agreed for weeks, he just finally signed it on that day (allegedly). Had they offered a contract extension on the back of one good win, it would have been preposterous. But handing a new contract before that, on the back of our capitulation at the end of the previous season and our abject failure of a League Cup performance was BAT SHIT FUCKING CRAZY! There was no need for it, it's not as if anyone was likely to try to prise him away (maybe they took Chic Young touting him for the Scotland job seriously!) I would love to think the BOD will get their just rewards by now having to pay him off when they sack him at the end of the season (won't happen though, they fucking love him and are too stupid to see his failings). Unfortunately, it was just the next in a long line of ridiculous decisions from them in charge.

Dish it out, get it back. Too many fans get precious when it's given back. Same fans who revere their own players when they wind up the opposition after a goal (Rowan Vine against Dundee, Gunning against Dundee Utd and Tam O'Ware against St Mirren being notable examples). No issue with Morgan giving it big licks, he was probably getting it tight before it (much like Alan Lithgow giving it back after the hounding he was given before his assist and 2 goals the other week). Rightfully booked but I'm sure he won't give 2 fucks about that. As for Tam's 'throat cut', while the actual gesture was ill-advised and I can see why some St Mirren fans got worked up about it, I thought it was pretty well established now the context behind it (it wasn't a throat cut gesture per se, it was the Undertaker's taunt.) There are a few wrestling fans in the Morton team, they had all been on a night out that week dressed as wrestlers (Tam being the Undertaker) and the celebration was a follow on from that. There's been a few other wrestling celebrations since (Iredale giving a 2 sweet gesture after scoring the winner against Dumbarton). Anyway. Disappointed you lot had an open top bus. A championship train with Portillo on board would have been far more appropriate. Poor show.

Decent heel turn from Cena

Drew on Raw. Teaming up with Ziggler.

Don't think that really affects whether he will or not.

Which it most certainly won't be.

So does that mean they are splitting the away stand as it holds 1600?

When they can be arsed. Which is often after there is no more home games before it at which to buy tickets, making it a ballache for fans getting tickets, especially out of towners. Don't read too much into them not being on sale yet, probably taking 3 days to draft an update for the website. The correct wording of that update should read 'we have declined an allocation.'
