I think the San Siro is hosting it this year, but UEFA probably picked them because of political reasons. Italian scum
Lost 3-1 to St. Johnstone, deservedly so. Comical defending as usual. At least it was an entertaining game. I missed the Dundee match due to laziness, but it sounds like we actually played OK there...
We looked like a relegation side tonight. There is some plus points, Jamie Stevenson, Jim McAlister, Jay Shields and Alex Walker all look like talented young players who could play a part in a good Morton team. But too many just aren't good enough. I was impressed by Robinson atfirst, he's an excellent shot-stopper, but he has no understanding with the defence, he flaps at the ball alot, and he looks like he wants to be an outfield player. Graham has some talent but is far from ready, Finlayson is one dimensional and can't cross, Weatherson is struggling with the step-up in defence (although he was OK tonight), Greacen is having some shaky games between good games. But the main problem isn't what we have, it's what we lack. Talented, experienced players. Not even seeing Stuart Cosgrove at Cartsdyke station having to listen to certain Morton fans moaning about McInally could cheer me up...
You'll get humped. We only managed to beat Accies 1-0 in a friendly the other week, they must be far too good for the 1st division.
loosing 1-0 is hardly getting humped, and from what i hear, it should have been 1-1, after some terrible reffing
I suppose it's no disgrace. I hear the circumstances surrounding the "equaliser" were very dodgy. Unlucky. Anyone there?
Morton face the biggest test of their season so far when they travel to Bayview tonight to face the might of East Fife in a friendly. Will the rampant Fifers give their second string a run out or subject Morton to the full terror of a side which proudly boasts a home record of : P-6, W-6, D-0, L-0, GF-24, GA-2. Ton boss Jim McInally said, "This is our cup final, the players know that. If we go out to attack, we know they can rip us to shreds so we'll have to adopt a cautious approach and hope to weather the hurricane and nick a goal from a set piece or something."
Drunk on excitement! With the 3rd division title in the bag, all I need is a Scotland win and the footballing gods will be smiling on me. Oh, and I'm sure Jim was thinking something along those lines. Morton won 2-1 btw, apparently they were qute lucky.
Dundee are the best team in the league IMO, and Kevin McDonald is probably the best player in the league, he's an absolute stand-out at this level (only just turned 19 as well). Gordon, how's Bobby Linn getting on?
Really well. He didn't have the best of games against Dumbarton on Saturday, missed a few decent chances but has been playing well. He's definitely a stand out in this division although most of our players are to be honest. I'd like it if he was more of a goalscorer but I suppose we're just getting goal greedy at the moment. How was he getting on at Morton before he came to us? I'd be pleased to see him extend his loan or get him signed, I think we're going to put a bid in for him. What do you think the chances are of McInally letting him go.
He's never had a real chance with us, and he never quite seemed to catch the pace of the game in the little opportunities he did have. He hasn't had the best year off the field, and he hasn't ever looked fully fit, but I still rate him quite highly, and he's only 22. I'm certain he'd be a successful player at Morton if given the chance. But I doubt he'll be given the chance, and imo if East Fife pay about £15k they'll get him.
Chris Millar has signed a pre-contract with St Johnstone. I'm gutted but this one has been coming for a long time...
