The Greenock Morton Thread - It's Better Than Yours


Recommended Posts

Although it was just a bounce game in pretty windy conditions was really impressed with Morton today, looks like they have strengthened even more so than last season where again they were pretty decent in the TV games.
they will definitely be serious title contenders 


Did the new signings play much part and who scored for you?

Morton started with not far from our first team.  We had McGowan in goal and Darren Barr alongside Tam O'Ware in central defence plus Doyle at RB and Lewis Strapp at LB.   midfield had Tidser and Murdoch in the middle and McHugh and Forbes either side.  Oliver and Thomson were upfront but Thomson and McHugh interchanged a lot.  Goals in order were McHugh finishing a great passing move, Forbes 25 yard free kick to postage stamp, Tidser penalty after Oliver brought down, Oliver after another great team goal and young Ben Armour came on for the last ten minutes and scored a nice goal.

it was only a bounce game and you can't read too much into it but it was really encouraging.   Thomson hardly missed a header from long punts and once the guys around him learn how to latch onto that, it could be fruitful.  McHugh looked sharp and took his goal well.   Harkins played most of the second half as a holding mid and did well.   Second half we took O'Ware, Forbes, Tidser, Murdoch, Strapp McHugh and Thomson off and apart from Harkins and Russell, all were replaced by development squad boys all of whom did well.

PS. Already our ability to rotate the squad looks miles better than last season.

Forbes, Tidser,Oliver , Armour and im not sure who scored the first goal

Forbes free kick worth a watch :



Great goal. I guess the other question is what sort of team Thistle put out.

Sounds promising about McHugh, Thomson and even Harkins at this early stage though.

badly rattled :lol: If you finish top ahead of the dabs I will be celebrating as much as you dicksplash. Just stop getting a bricker over a pre-season friendly in a public park.


I don't think you understand what's actually going on here tbh. Not like a Dundee chump to tragically flounder on this thread though.

Que response from VT involving, sarcastic comment, 'thanks for playing', and stereotypical Ainsley Harriott picture [emoji3]

Tell that to the SPFL officials already engraving our name on the trophy.
