    Just to let you know I was talkin tae John (Joe) on Monday night...I sent him the 2 books I BOUGHT..'mORTON gREATS'..and more 'Morton Greats...love the pictur of him sitting next tae Allan in a strip I cannae remember!

    I see your comments now re Tidser, Bobby Evans etc. I think you beat me as the first captain I think the captain was Johnny Boyd as Bobby Evans had left in 63. I think Tidser and Fred are now benefitting from the extra midfielder.

    Tontrooper, I see you were trying to contact me earlier, please let me know what it was about.

    Cheers, DreamOak Tree

    Part 2:/circa '64...only a year after my first attendance at Cappielow..it was a Weds night game (reserves) team led out by Bobby Evans...'broon ba' an' a'...can you remember yours?

    Hope your well Dream Oak Tree.I read with interest your post re the Livi game...I totally agree with you about Tidser and quite honestly I sometimes think the (our) supporters miss a lot of his touch and foresight...a wee bit like I used to berate Kenny Dalgleish in his early days for Scotland until a 'wiser' head put me right.Incidentally...noticed you started supporting Morton circa ...

    Hi Tontrooper, you're correct about Wille Allan and Joe Mason as they played together more than Harper and Allan. I was just trying to emphasise the difference between a no. 9 and a no. 10 to the guy who asked the question. I thought Joe Mason sometimes played as a bit of an inside man whereas Joe Harper was more recognised as a centre forward (although he usually wore no. 7).

    Part 2 ....Did Willie Allan not play inside man to Joe Mason more often than not?..maybe wrong..the passage of time clouds the memory sometimes!....All the best.

    Hi there Dream Oak Tree...Tontrooper speaking....just a wee message to let you know I enjoyed your post ...I'm regularly in touch with John (Joe) Caven..he lives up in Nairn now but keeps in touch with his old buddies at Cap..Allan included..the one thing I did queerie about your post was Willie Allan...I remember tearing my hair out (I had some then!) watching him.

    To me it felt more like celebrating than boasting. A couple of weeks ago we scored first at Hamilton in the Challenge Cup and everyone of us in the Morton support jumped to our feet to celebrate. We ended up losing 2-1, does that mean we were boasting and getting ahead of ourselves? Because it's possible you can lose a game doesn't stop us feeling good when we score and showing how we feel by celebrating, that's why we go to the match. For me it's the same feeling when you go top of the league, when it's the first time in 15 years or so surely we're entitled to celebrate the feeling. Or are you saying you have to wait till the end of the season and the league title is won? If another team wins the league then we will still have enjoyed the moment we went top, if every fan has to wait till every competition is decided before they can feel good about our team then that's not the reason I go to football matches. It's hope and optimism mainly and that's what our feelgood factor is all about. We're still top by the way!

    I really don't see all the faults in Colin Stewart that others see, in the league he's let in two penalties and a one-on-one at Raith when his defence left him exposed, even at that he saved the first shot and was beaten on the rebound with his defence again too slow to get back to help him. I watch him making saves, taking crosses, making kick-outs or throw-outs and I really don't recognise the guy people are slating. He does have faults like most keepers at this level but do those that critisise his faults also praise him when he saves the team? If they do I don't seem to hear it. While he's doing his job well do they keep silent and wait till his first mistake before critising him? Anything we achieve will be as a team and Colin Stewart is as much a part of the team as anyone else. We also need our fans to back the whole team!

    Not sure what's happened to the stand, but the players Allan Moore let go were all replaced by players with lower wage bills.
