MacWatt Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Given the news about UBIG you could be going up after all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Well, that's a shame... Ah, how did I miss that announcement from the club spokesman? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmacDFC Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Ah, how did I miss that announcement from the club spokesman? Quite a lot of Morton fans wanted Turner. Morton offered Turner a contract. Turner rejected that contract. Turner signed a 2 year deal with Dumbarton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turner signed a 2 year deal with Dumbarton. I believe he just got a job as a personal trainer and it has been mentioned that the combination of that and part time with us would probably amount to more than only playing full time with Morton. Think he would have been a great signing for any first division team so absolutely delighted to have him in the squad! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmacDFC Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I, for one, feel like giving up on Morton in the wake of this. Calm yourself petal. I was pointing out that not only have Morton fans 'heard' of Turner, many infact wanted their club to sign him, which the club attempted to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a post from one guy and today is the first I've heard that Morton were after him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmacDFC Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 How many? I've seen a post from one guy and today is the first I've heard that Morton were after him. If we got who I would like us to get the lineup would be: Gaston Taggart Reid Barr Dyer Mcallister Bachirou Turner Tidser New Macdonald New Oware McLaughlin Moon Smith Campbell Obrien Gaston Reid Barr O'Ware Taggart Bachirou Turner Tidser O'Brien Campbell Smith No chance of one up front and no chance MacDonald will be here. No idea if the club are interested, but it's fair to say we'd like to see it. I imagine we wouldn't be the only other First Division club after him but he's a realistic target if he's willing to leave Dumbarton. That's why I'm hoping were looking at your very own Chris Turner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz FFC Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) As I understand things the official end of the SPL was brought forward this year, it's usually June 1. As its been brought forward if Hearts go belly up after this point (can't remember when it is) then Relegation would happen and as like last year 2 would go up. I'm pretty sure the date was middle of May so we've probably passed it already. HJ is probably your man for this. ETA, forgot the SPL still has a game to go so it is probably Sunday (19th) that is the official end of the season for the SPL.

If Hearts get a points deduction that takes them below Dundee then it might just be that Hearts become the relegated team and Dundee stay where they are, which tbh would probably suit me fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I was more focussing on Hearts doing a Rangers. Have you seen the debt they carry? But if Hearts are liquidated it wouldn't go to a straight 2 up nobody down. It would be a vote between Morton and Dundee, like it was a vote between Dunfermline and Dundee last year. And we're a less attractive proposition to the majority of SPL clubs, meaning we'd lose the vote. Which, like GiGi, would suit me fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliche Guevara Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) So that's Morton failed to attract part-time Craig Malcom, from Stranraer, and part-time Chris Turner, from Dumbarton, so far this pre-season. Fucking guffaw! Edited May 16, 2013 by Cliche Guevara 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know was that the rules state if a club is relegated by the end date of the season, which used to be June 1 then they ate considered an SFL club. Basically if Hearts go tits up like Rangers after the finish date, then Dundee will be down and Morton promoted mirroring last season with you being Dundee, Hearts being Rangers and Dundee being Dunfermline. Can't remember a vote Toby. Mind you that much was going on maybe I missed it. My head hurts now LOL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course whenever we think we have it bad, we can always look to Ayr fans invading our threads and remind ourselves it could be worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
