Muggy Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 So you regard Dunfermline and Celtic to be of equal stature within Scottish football? An amusing argument, but certainly a convenient one given your own side are one of the minnow tadpoles at this level of existence. I think we are all aware that some teams are distinctly bigger than others, within the same competitive level. Even some of the diddies have been adult enough to grudgingly know their place. i.e. Dundee >>>>>>>>> Morton Diddy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) what a bizzare conclusion to draw from what i said Neither are holders of the SPL, so surely their historical success is absolutely irrelevant to their campaigns, expectations, and chances of success this term? The conclusion is bizarre only because your argument is self-fulfilling horseshite. No surprise to see irrelevant diddy clubs making up the bottom three of SFL1, like the shite cannon-fodder you are. unless you are comparing winning division 1 to winning the scottish cup? Erm, no. But nice try at squeezing some relevance from your history of umitigated failure, in the form of a First Division trophy.

vikingTON Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Since 1991/92, 40 teams have been relegated from this level. 9 of these had previously won a trophy of significance, the other 31 were irrelevant diddy clubs. It's almost as if being a perennial historical no-hoper is strongly linked to being shite in any given modern season. More research is surely needed to prove this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Since 1991/92, 25 teams have been promoted from the level to the top flight. 16 of these sides hold a trophy of significance to their name. The other 9 are trophyless diddies. Gretna, Raith, Hamilton etc. It's almost as if being a historically successful club is strongly linked to the prospects of promotion in any given modern season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why we have more money, more fans, why you accept our rejects as your star players, and why we despatch your clubs with some regularity, both in head-to-head encounters and by the end of the season. The above stats support this. Historically big clubs get promoted (Morton having a Scottish record total to our name), diddy clubs get relegated to the seaside leagues.

Muggy Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) I think the fact that a Morton fan is arguing with an Ayr United fan over which is the bigger club only serves to highlight that both clubs are diddy clubs.

The CURRENT Morton team certainly embody the spirit of the good old team of '22, 6-0 ya fanny, I've still not stopped laughing at your pathetic deluded attempt to talk up a failure of a club like Morton. 6-0 even East Stirling would've done better 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRS LEFT PEG Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Why are you Ayr fans continually biting to this guy . He knows Ayr have done infinitely better than Morton but puts up this arrogant , nonsensical front and plays his game with you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No? Erm no. It merely shows that Ayr United fans are delusional and big shots like ourselves like to put them in their place. Unlucky Muggles. The CURRENT Morton team certainly embody the spirit of the good old team Indeed they do. When they regularly bitch-slap your side and pumped another non-entity in the last round, I can't help but feel a wee bit sad for those who have had to live on such a meagre, meagre diet of 'success', to have had no achievements worthy of the name. I guess we should give you all a round of applause for still turning up to watch your irrelevant diddy teams: you're sort of like the fans who watched the full game at Fir Park last week.

accies4life Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 vikington all your arguements are rounded up to saying that you are biggier and better than ayr because you won a scottish cup more than 90 years ago well if thats it then we should welcome in east fife and dumbarton that seems right morton is on par with east fife and dumbarton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifespud Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Christ can you Ayr lads not give up.

vikingTON Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 more significant in what way In the way that they've achieved trophy wins of historical significance, despite their lowly size. As opposed to Hamilton and Ayr, who have acheived no trophy wins of significance, only two centuries of unmitigated failure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, we should turn our attention to Morton's record breakingly bad performance in their last visit to the top tier in Scottish football.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliche Guevara Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I think we should unilaterally accept vikingTon's general position that Morton have the significance he identifies, in Scottish Football, the teams that he identifies that don't, don't, and the posters who he points out are scrambling for relevance are scrambling for relevance. I have no idea what we do now though... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
