centralTons' Greenock Morton thread

[EFC David]

It would be amazing if we got rid of dumb and dumber then brought King Kenny back.

I'm sure he would do well with a better squad than ours. Unfortunately he always wanted to play football from the back, not really the way to go in our league, but to be admired.
I've heard rumours that we may go for Ian Murray from Dumbarton. He might not want to drop down a division, but might fancy full-time football.

I always thought it was a myth that Shiels played the ball out from the back, we did it under Mixu but the SPL managers started told there strikers to stay up the park to avoid us passing it out to a centre back. Under AJ I've seen Samson throw it out once and we scored from it!


It's a shame where Morton are going to be playing next season, fan base wise they dwarf the likes of Dumbarton and Cow-den-beef.

YEP!!!
The most embarrassing game I have ever had the misfortune to witness in 48 years of going to see Morton. It was one of those games where every attack looked like it would produce a goal. Massive clear-out required for next season.

p.s. why would toffeejack like this...seriously?

I concur

Why @toffeejack ?

WHY!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?

You do realise the side is deffo, deffo involved in match fixing don't you?

Like, no question about it whatsoever?

This is Greenock Morton mate, not Peru in 1978

If all the Morton players receive a new set of watches and a brand new cadillac, your theory may have some weight

I'd say £20, a bottle of Buckfast and a Toblerone would be enough to persuade a few of them to let a few in.

Really???

Having witnessed Morton beat Forfar 9-1 a few years ago, no one suggested that Forfar were involved in match fixing. They were just awful on the day, as we were on Saturday. It was hard enough watching the game to the bitter end without now having to read various conspiracy theories from people who were nowhere near Hamilton on Saturday.

Bad day at the office, simple as that.

Wow, conspiracy theories and casual stereotyping...you're on a roll today.

Everything I'm saying here is very much tongue in cheek sir

haha it was purely because i knew there was a morton fan on here.

i think it was partly due to the fact it was all in vein, would have been better off winning 1-0.

Appointed Jim Duffy as our new manager today. Not impressed by this even tho' Jim was a fantastic player for the club including being voted Scottish player of the year in 1984. His managerial record leaves a lot to be desired.

NEW Morton boss Jim Duffy admits he had to leave Chic Charnley behind at Clyde because he couldn’t ask him to give up a full-time job.
The 55-year-old was appointed to the Cappielow hotseat on Monday after three years at Broadwood.
But he admits it would have been wrong to ask his former assistant to follow him as he’s already working full-time and coaching Clyde on a part-time basis.
Duffy said: “I’m delighted to be back in full-time football and that was one of the attractions of taking the Morton job. However, it would have been unfair to ask Chic to join me.
“He has a full-time job and works at Clyde on a part-time basis and I could not ask him to give that up.
“He was part of the success that Clyde enjoyed last season but I’ll be working with the existing backroom team here.”
Former Scotland star David Hopkin, who had a brief spell as caretaker boss last season and worked with former manager Kenny Shiels, will be involved.
Duffy said: “I know David and I look forward to working with him.”
Meanwhile, Clyde say they won’t rush to replace Duffy.
Ian McCall and Allan Moore are already tipped as possible candidates.
But Clyde director Gordon Thomson said: “There are big shoes to be filled. We’ll take our time getting the right person to fill them.”

Morton 0 v 1 St. Mirren

Lost to our bitter rivals in this years Copa del Renfrewshire. Decent display from a pretty young team against an experienced team 2 divisions above us.

Well hello again fellow Toffees.

Just home from Ayr (EFC David's nemesis's) and lost 1-0. We weren't even that bad, but having a player sent off for a shocking tackle was the defining moment in the game.

It's a bit ironic that I started this thread on the first day of last season when Morton were top of the league, yet we find ourselves bottom of the league below a year on.

At least I have Everton to fall back on.
