ClydeTon Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Too early? Ach, first chance to make a match thread in my short time (so far) on here. And I take my chances, unlike our forward line this season, for some reason. May I start this by saying; "we are totally f**ked", and end by referring to my previous statement. Thank you. More seriously: it's a third meeting with a Premiership side this season for us, so another test against better* opposition, and, either way, should provide a good bit of money for players and whatnot, in seemingly desperate times. A little bit frustrating meeting the Old Firm again but it's what the club need, so i'll reluctantly act happy with it. Not expecting anything whatsoever, just a chance to go to Ibrox, outsing the home support, get knocked out the cup, leave, and move on. - Either that or Kirk Broadfoot scores a 99th minute header to seal a famous 3-0 victory for the Ton. I'll leave it to you to decide. No point analysing the Rangers point of view ahead of this, they won't care. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoonTon Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 It looks like this game comes potentially right in the middle of Rangers trying to qualify for the CL. So this probably increases our chances of success, albeit from no chance to virtually no chance. Horrible place to visit, but at least we're not losing away to Motherwell again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of B A R P Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Have to say this is win-win territory for me: good income from the gate money (and maybe TV), plus a free-hit at a team that will have one eye on Champions' League qualification: you can be sure Imrie is happy with the former... and will make a serious effort to get something out of the game, regardless of the odds. Bring it on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Confirmed as a 12.30 k/o on the Saturday, live on TV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClydeTon Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 Well that's payday sorted, then. Was said in another thread that it's 50/50 split of gate recripts beyond the first 15% (for the home team), so 37.5% for us. Not bad at all if Ibrox is near full, plus however much it is for being on the TV. Couldn't have really got a better and more timely draw from the money POV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone here or on Morton forum worked out it would be worth £200k+ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alibi Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 This year is the 60th anniversary of us losing to this lot's predecessor club in the league cup final. Time to right a historic wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrshireTon Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 It's ten years since Dougie Imrie dumped Lennie's hapless mob out of the cup at Parkhead. Would be nice to do the other cheek to commemorate it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alibi Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 60 years since our league cup final appearance. Revenge is long overdue. 5-0 to Morton would even things up a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TONTROOPER Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Look....I'm kinda reconciled to the fact we're unlikely to win this tie. I think I'm guaranteed an 'Imrie inspired' performance from the team...... although I've just heard (if there's any truth to it) .... we may be losing Robbie (Crawford). Well if this transpires.....give it all for the Ton one last time Robbie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of B A R P Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Was genuinely hoping we’d strengthen and go into this with a fighting chance against a team between big European ties; but with no right-back and Boyd suspended, I just can’t see it. Think we’ll see Blues at right back, Gillespie, Power, and Crawford as a midfield three, and Muirhead out on the left (which is not ideal defensively). Wouldn’t be surprised, tho, if Dougie surprises us on this occasion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONTROOPER Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 With Rangers due to meet PSV next week..Beale is obviously going to be playing fringe players in this one keeping the 'heavy artillery' on the bench for when/if required. Its still our best shot tho....free hit. MON THE TON!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Toon Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Great to see Jack Baird in the squad today albeit starting on the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Result is largely irrelevant here: will Morton win the 'taking more fans to an Old Firm ground in the cup than St Mirren did in the league' trophy? That's the real quiz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoon Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 You really need pace to have any chance in these games and we unfortunately don’t have anty of it. Don’t think it’ll be as big a hammering as Celtic, hopefully able to keep it tight for a bit longer than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
