Dougie has not been shy at dropping players for mistakes, especially if repeated. You could sense his frustration after those mistakes but there was no way the ringer was going to be given any game time. Wouldn't be surprised to see him opt for having actual competition in the goalkeeping department next season. Time will tell. There absolutely has to be some degree of competition/cover in that position; the fact that the first one in the door is 22 (and might not be costing the earth in stepping up from p/t to f/t) strongly suggests there will be… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BishopLenBrennan Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Two goalkeepers who are capable of playing regularly in the Championship is a huge waste of resources for a club of our size. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what you mean by 'capable of playing in the Championship regularly', I suppose... but I don't think we're looking at 'huge' resources tbh (and I don't think they'd be 'wasted', either). The additional cost would be the wage of the cheaper of the two keepers, minus whtaever Green was on last year. How much do you think that is? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colkitto Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Looks like Partick are going with 3 keepers. Madness! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCready is only 20 and was on loan in the Lowland League last season. I was surprised to see Sneddon re-sign (thought he’d turn up at you tbh) but now I imagine McCready will go on loan again this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORleyTON Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) Baird signs an extension til 2025. Happy to see more signing on, giving us a good building block going forwards. https://twitter.com/Morton_FC/status/1672288405755969536?t=ElQBnkmwguLngZ9eQuoZdQ&s=19 Edited June 23, 2023 by MORleyTON 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colkitto Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Great news and well deserved. Had a fantastic season and couldn't have been far off being player of the season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClydeTon Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) I think Baird has developed a large amount of love for both the club and the fans. I would imagine he took that offer in a heartbeat. More than happy to have him on for another year after next. Edited June 23, 2023 by ClydeTon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#Gary Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Michael Doyle in training with us today it would appear. I liked him when he was here but given that was 5 years ago and he's played for 5 clubs since then, probably not who I would want to see replace Liam Grimshaw... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClydeTon Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) Couldn't be the worst signing ever, but at the same time, not a huge fan of going for L1 players all around. Perhaps a financial limitation, but that's a bit more of a downgrade in Grimmy than we should be looking for. On the flipside, Pignatiello is of a similar level and did the business (quite well) last year when called upon. Presuming L1 is now his level, rather than still being of the level he was when with us. Edited June 26, 2023 by ClydeTon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doyle was shite when he was here in his prime, nevermind after 5 years of playing for dung sides. Pretty concerned by our transfer business so far tbh.

Dunning1874 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Imrie explicitly said that we'll be offering players we've no intention of signing the chance to train to keep their fitness up so fans shouldn't get carried away with anyone who shows up at training. I'd expect Doyle to come into that category. If we are actually looking at signing him we still need a Pignatiello replacement too and he would tick the box of versatile cover with how often he's played at centre back since leaving us, but I'd hope we're looking for better. Either way there's no chance we're bringing him in as a first choice right back. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only buy tickets for Cappielow via Greenock Morton on Fanbase. Alloa are not on Fanbase, so tickets will not be available there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
