Dindeleux Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hold on a minute, let me see if I've got this straight. Morton fans were Rangers strips to Morton games or Morton fans allow Rangers fans to wear strips at Morton games?I know my club pander to the Old Firm constantly but I'm pretty sure if people were turning up for random games with Rangers strips on they would be told to f**k off - either by the club or by fans around them.Surely this has led to some potential for trouble at Cappielow?

Surely this has led to some potential for trouble at Cappielow? It doesn't really happen anymore. Children have done it (there's a story behind one incident and their father deliberately trying to wind up Morton fans) but you can't really shout at weans for doing so. There was a Rangers fan in the Cowshed at Cappielow last season, he was kindly erm "dealt with" though this was a month or so after the glass bottle incident at Ibrix, tensions were reasonably high.

That photo is also 13 years old I reckon and you don't see that any more. I suppose (and this isn't a dig at Morton) the further down the leagues you go the more likely you are to have casual fans who are simply going to a game but still have a "big" club who they support. Kids is acceptable, in terms of not getting abuse, but for a dad to put their kid in that situation is just stupid.I remember at 12 going to see the Charity Shield at Wembley and I had a Killie top on and my sister wore Celtic and my mate had a Rangers top on. My mate was kind of barged into by a group of Man U fans and called a "*** b*****d" (true) which then led to my dad getting involved in a bit of an argument with the fans.Looking back hearing English fans calling my mate a *** didn't seem out of ordinary as this terminology is pretty prevalent in the west of Scotland but I would now be surprised to here that term anywhere else (or anywhere really, other than here or social media it's not a phrase I see very much).

Poet of the Macabre Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 The Celtic shop at St Mirren is one of the most incredible examples of a diddy club happily accepting the thick OF boaby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only worse example I can think of in recent times is Clyde's fundraising friendly (when they were managed by John Brown, had Andy Goram on the coaching staff, Jorg Albertz as a player) v 'Rangers Legends XI' and some of the Rangers Legends swapped teams at half-time, playing for Clyde as well as Rangers. Just a total love-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I remember that cup game well, we were absolutely rock bottom of the spl and pretty much everyone had Morton favourites. It was pishing from the heavens on the WDE and Kenny Arthur went off injured after 5 minutes with Steven pinkowski coming on for his debut. Don't think you'd have found many in the away end confident at that point but we cruised it. 2 James grady penalties I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black and White Tragic Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Prophet of the Macabre (as he will now be known) started this thread as Morton were still riding high and could have finished second. Visionary indeed.If not for those cheating Falkirk Kants their play off place could have still been up for grabs next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Interestingly enough, Morton's current form (last 10) is just one point better than they managed in the final 10 games of this (The) Famous season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eight at the moment, could be nine if we don't beat Dundee United next weekend, and there is a possibility of six more play off matches. Can't see us getting past the first round, mind.
