GiGi Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 We got through to the quarter finals of this tournament two years ago. Could anyone refresh my memory as to who we beat to achieve this feat? I hope you got your invitation to the anniversary party. It's green and tear-stained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornbeef Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Happy with this - only because we avoided the Bears, Hearts and Hibs. This is a classic old style cup tie. Missed the 1/4 final tie in 1991 because I was away on business. Also due away to London on the 23rd, so PLEASE make it the 22nd Would love a trip to Cappielow We are gash by the way and so this represents a good opportunity for Morton also We'll give you classic old style alright - with the old wooden stand belting out Hector Nicol songs as you lapse into DVT with the pre war legroom. Those of you in the Wee Dublin End will have one of the best views in the house (or anywhere) for watching football. If this is on the telly... it will be in black and white with Arthur Montford giving it the full stramash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Last time we played Motherwell was a horrible day. 5-0 down at half-time, poured all day and after the game that fucking pub with the pool tables in it felt like it was about to kick off any minute with the Motherwell and Morton fans. I think you should watch this to relive what sounds like a top day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolph Hucker Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I think you should watch this to relive what sounds like a top day Never watched it then, no intention of watching it now. Changed days for you guys these days though, eh? But for the uselessness of McCoist & McDowall you could've been visiting Cappielow earlier than next month....... You think you should've tried to keep McCall, or was it time for a change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do remember who the Rangers manager was when we pumped them, don't you? McCall's time was up long before he left Fir Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall's time was up long before he left Fir Park. yeah, but don't think he can really be blamed for it - they were a shambles and totally dispirited way before he came in. It was pretty ironic tho....... On that cup match, I think that was when OUR boss made a throwaway comment about "parking the bus". Shame it was only a minibus.......

Rudolph Hucker Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Nope, I'm sure I saw us put them out of the League cup at Cappielow around 1962 or 1963. Got a feeling it was the quarter finals the year we got to the final.......? I just checked - after a 0-0 draw in the first leg we beat Motherwell 2-0 at Cappielow in the League Cup quarter finals on 18th September 1963, end route to the final. My first full season going to support the 'Ton, and I thought it was always gonna be that good. *sigh*....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamdunk Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I suppose as we are the lowest ranked seeded team, Morton are the 2nd lowest ranked unseeded team and there is no huge journey involved for anyone - and more importantly the game could genuinely go either way, it's as good as you can hope for in a seeded draw... Speak for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMFCfan1886 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Since I missed out on East Fife in the last round I will definitely go to this one since its a new ground I haven't been to before and one of the more old fashioned grounds in Scotland, what's the view like from behind the goal anyway? It hardly looks comfortable on tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hardly looks comfortable on tv The view from the WDE is excellent. The minor drawback is the lack of roof/protection from the elements. Just as well that it rarely rains in Greenock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Naitch Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Still get flashbacks of that 6-0 tonking at Fir Park. Not ashamed to say I left after the sixth goal and was back home by full time. At least there won't be a repeat of that this time around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I've seen us play Motherwell three times. Last two times, we didn't really look like competing against them, despite only losing 1-0 before the absolute drubbing. The time before that seen us hammered 3-0 by Owen Coy... I mean Motherwell.

d ( . Y . ) b Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Really looking forward to Tuesday now It's usually like Morton to step up when it's an important game but as we've been playing surprisingly well in this league, I think this will shine in our cup run.

Gianfranco Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I'd take a scrappy 1-0 win, penalties win any kind of win really. We are playing extremely poor at the moment and our away record is pish in general. Morton are favourites IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
