So, we face Ayr in our first game of 2012 at Cappielow and with all due respect to Ayr, we're clear favourites for this one. Wasn;t at the game yesterday but it will be a huge confidence booster for the lads and with the shaved headed Xavi & the new Makelele back we should win comfortably.
I'm missing this one personally due to work, but think we will win 3-0

Probably correct unless we punt Alex Burke and replace him with something resembling a footballer (for the bench mind).

After that result at Dundee I fancy you to PUMP Ayr.4-0

[Thumper]

The Ladbrokes investigations team will be on the case if this ends up with less than a four goal winning margin.

Looking forward to this game. Morton will be coming of the back of a great 1-0 away win to Dundee, who had been on good form of late. As for Ayr, their are still struggling to find their feet in this division but with a draw against QOS on Monday,it may be the start of a surge up the table. Who knows? Last time at Cappielow, Morton ran out easy 4-1 winners with Tidser and Bachirou on great form and imo, the outcome will be the same.

3-0 to Morton (Jackson X2 and O'brian)

[utdtillidie]

Anything less than a 6-0 win for Morton will be frankly embarrassing for Scottish and European football. Morton should be then disbanded and Cappielow raised to the ground.

Steady -I have seen this movie too many times - every game is a battle in this division and anyone can beat anyone - look at the Honest men fine run in the cup - so a tightly focussed Ton performance with an any win margin well received and a precious 3 points

Could not agree more, We where completely written off before the dundee game yet managed to win, the games not won till its won!!

On holiday so wont be able to make this game or Livi cup game

[IainMorton]

Those first 15 minutes when we played Ayr at Cappielow earlier in the season was some of the best football I have seen us play in over 10 years, especially the 3rd goal - best team goal I've seen us score, so hopefully we can start well again and put the game to bed early doors. Not saying it will be easy though!

I wouldn't want to arrogantly predict a Morton victory for this one, having seen the Ayr fans predicting so confidently that defeat would be impossible for them on our visit to Somerset last month only for Morton to put in a herculean effort and cause the upset of the season by beating the mighty Honest Men from our position of having been above them in the league all season.

Hopefully with similar backs-to-the wall performance and Ayr's mind not being on the ball considering they've got such bigger fish to fry than ourselves this season we can maybe sneak a draw, but surely our luck won't stretch to another victory against such a superior club.

Heart says 1-1, head says 0-2 to Ayr.

Yup. The players' minds do seem elsewhere nowadays. They don't seem to be knuckling down to the league campaign.

Which at the end of the day is our bread and butter (as reid would say). Although I was quite surprised at people who said they would rather beat Killie than stay up.

Ayr have been promoted to the first division twice in three years. They have been in one cup final in 100 years.

I know where I'd rather be.

[Swampy]

Ayr are dreadful, anything less than a convincing win is unacceptable and I imagine that's what Moore will be putting to the players this week. Winning at Dundee was the hard part, granted, but they can't get complacent.

wohoo, one of the gruesome 3.

[dundeebarry]

Morton were excellent at Dens, and I now believe the hype about Tidser and Bashirou. I plan on sticking a wedge on them to win this game. Apologies in advance if this acts as some form of curse.

What would you know ?

You know about ponies, scrap, washing machines and claithes pegs, not how good or bad Ayr can be.


Stick to reading the tea leaves as a way of predicting things, it'd be more accurate in the long run.

Suddenly Morton have changed, on the back of one result, from being pish to being Barcelona once again, don't think so !

Away and gie oor heids peace.

[vikingTON]

Easy fifth straight win against our bitches.

I'm thinking another 4-1 rout. Not sure what the score will be in the second half though.

Barry, 4 times this season Ayr have pulled results out the bag after being written off as no hopers, keep your money in your pocket - NEVER bet Ayr to win or lose, no matter which way you bet THEY ALWAYS burst coupons ALWAYS.

I'm just excited to see the Greenock Mortons in the flesh.

Like when we scudded you 4-0 as odds on favourites?

[Ayrforce1]

Strange how they salivate about 'thier best performance for years' against a team described as 'dreadfull' .
