RinTinTon Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Duffy is bored. So he has taken our best centre half off the bench to put him up front. The only guy more surprised when we scored the first goal was the idiot savant who poses as our manager. Despite our boys playing as complete strangers to each other, they at least had some idea of a formation, and we got the goal. * Within a couple of minutes, he has figured we are ready for total football, 1980's Dutch style, and starts O'Ware warming up. None of us can guess who he is going to replace -my guess is Gaston- but the consensus is that is not one of our many centre-backs already on the pitch (illogical captain). However, before Thomas is ready to go on (and why wasn't he in the starting line-up)we score again with a lovely strike from McManus. Despite the entire Morton support knowing that this league is most likely going to be decided on goal difference, the mighty Jim thinks "we're playing a relegation side, winning 2-0. I know, let's consolidate" Help ma Boab, he pulls off our new generation Gary O'Connor striker, and puts centre-back O'Ware up at No.10 -even left wing at one point. !@#! Never mind the fans, the team now haven't a clue where they should be playing, or how. Jeezus Jim, how many clueless thoughts went through your head to make that decision. We basically revert to a squashed back 8, and Stirling get the space to pass the ball around and get some confidence. We either hoof the ball up the park or just give it back to Stirling at the earliest opportunity, in our own half. There is now no likelyhood of us scoring again, and a reasonable chance of Stirling getting at least one back. Luckily they fail, and the game ends with a corner for us and O'Ware sent over to fanny about at the corner flag under orders to run the clock down/ On no account try to score again. I now realise, Mr Duffy is intent on building a competent third division side. Dream on Jim. You cannot manage a team from the sidelines, pointing one way and shouting, and immediately pointing the other way and shouting. Only if you studied at the Chewin the Fat school of comedy coaching. Results generally went our way today, and we could actually win this league. Our squad might deserve it, but boy is it painful to witness, and the flaws are so obvious. TTGJD * We had two fullbacks playing up the wings, pushing on with the punters encouragement; you could see a number of footballers on the pitch wearing our Barcalona strip. But you could see our defence was very nervous, and our midfield (?) even more nervous on their behalf.
Diamonds are Forever Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 If it goes to goal difference then Morton pretty much have it sewn up. You're 3 goals ahead of Forfar with a much superior goals scored, so effectively 4 goals ahead. And the only realistic way it would go to goal difference between you and Stranraer is if you beat Stranraer next week - putting you at least 2 goals ahead - and then drew with Peterhead, leaving Stranrear needing to beat Brechin by at least 3 goals. And Forfar might beat you on points in that scenario anyway. Admittedly at 4.30 pm today with Stranraer 3-0 up the scenario wasn't quite so rosey.
SuperTon Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Bizarre sub bringing on O'Ware for Caldwell and playing him up front when we had Peaso & Scullion on the bench. Even more bizarre that Peaso was brought on 10 minutes later and O'Ware was then pushed back into midfield. What was the point in playing him up front for 10 minutes? O'Ware should've came on for Miller who was again useless in midfield and Peaso for Caldwell who hasn't been great recently. These starting line-ups and subs every week are utterly baffling and could cost us the game next week at Stranraer.
Binos123sam Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 You're nothing special, we get beat every week.
vikingTON Posted April 18, 2015 Author Posted April 18, 2015 Easy win for the Famous against a pub team - thoroughly disappointed that Duffy settled for two rather than a cricket score tbh.
Binos123sam Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Easy win for the Famous as i said you're nothing special we get beat every week, you're no better than alloa,hibs,workington,raith,falkirk,ayr,brechin,dunfermline,stranraer,forfar and airdrie
vikingTON Posted April 19, 2015 Author Posted April 19, 2015 Have they all drubbed your hopeless rabble four times in the same season? Embarrassing if true tbh,

I agree that's it's not the most likely scenario, but it's still far from unrealistic to see Morton and Forfar going into the last day level on points in first and second with Forfar pumping Ayr to win it.
yorkshirepud Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 You're nothing special, we get beat every week. Maybe not next week.

headthebaw Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 thoroughly disappointed that Duffy settled for two rather than a cricket score tbh. Could be significant. Happy we've contributed.
TurbineTon Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 How good is football in the sunshine. Yesterday was a glorious day. We achieved what is the perfect scenario for next week.

Ya Bezzer! Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Does Adam Cummins look comically bad in a relegated Stirling Albion side or has he found a level where he looks like a footballer?

Ya Bezzer! Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 How is he still contracted to motherwell?. For about two months.
