In recent seasons, we have had both of the ugly sisters of Renfrewshire in this league, though sadly not at the same time - St Mirren and Morton. (Before some pedant from Greenock comes on and says that they are from Inverclyde, I am talking about histortic status here).

But who has brought more to the league? There is no doubt that both have brought us a great deal of entertainment, with both sets of fans believing that each are bigger and better than the rest of us (and inflicting a willie contest on us most weeks). St Mirren in the Coughlin days were superb, and my sides have just about healed having laughed at them for months on end. The same might be said of Morton in the McInally days.

There is no doubt that St Mirren have been lucky - the least convincing winners of the league in a long time. Let me cite two examples - having to rely on Charlie Adams cheating to handle balls into the net to secure three points, and having to rely on referees like Rangers Mike to turn a blind eye to such antics.

They have much in common. But who has brought more to this league?

I would say Midden have brought more to the League im terms of football (even if they were lucky a few seasons ago) but the Greenock sopadodgers have brought more fans to Firhill in recent seasons. To their credit - Morton were pish last year and they brought a very decent support to us just before christmas whereas St Mirren were doing well and I wasn't that impressed with their support and they are much closer to Firhill than Morton.

Score draw for the biggest hissy fits outside of the Old Firm.

Jaysus, that's probably the most tedious thread I've ever read in nearly 200 years. The poor man must be terminally bored.   It's enough to drive you to ....
Next it'll be Airdrie/Albion Rovers ... Thistle/Clyde ... Motherwell/Hamilton ... Drumchapel Amateurs/Bearsden Amateurs ... Morecambe & Wise ... Little & Large ... ad nauseam ... (yawn ... ) Z z z z z z z ...

The one in which you continually talk about yourself pushes it close.

Nah, that's just innocent Thistle banter. Love the reactions of fans from other clubs too ... not quite so "smug and preening" as some so-called Jags ...    

Poor effort.

That's even more tedious, if it was possible, than the start of the thread itself ... (yawn) ... next we'll be analysing postcodes and whether people from Dunoon should support Morton (one ferry, one train) or Dumbarton (two ferries, one train).

Pointing at Fast Action's posting mistakes is never tedious...

Nights drawing in Dublin?

There's a decent number of Morton fans in Dunoon.

Only because it's two ferries to get to Helensburgh and a longer train journey to Dumbarton ...  They'd be better off staying in McLure's than going to Kippielow.

Dublin, if nothing else, is far from tedious ... night or day ... Although I'd rather have a night out in Paisley toon compared to Greenock. What a Godforsaken kip of a place ...

Ode to a piana man.  RIP Rick Wright.   

You've awful good eyesight to see it from Dublin.

I drove thro' Greenyuck a coupla months ago.  And kept driving ... The only good thing about it is Chic Murray used to live there ...

It's changed a lot since.
We've demolished two more tower blocks.

Found a nice pub, tho', a couple hundred yards up from Gourock Train Station ... but it was that good I can't remember its name ... 

Hmm, up?
I'm gping to guess at it being Kempock Street then perhaps Cleats' or the Kempock Bar (or Cafe Continental )
I'm just listing the pubs I know there rather than actual good ones though...

The next time, remind yourself not to steer on Cloch road.

Ah yes, the Cafe Continental ... friendly locals, some nice burds ... and a decent enough pint of I'll be in there on Dec 6 before the Morton Thistle game ...

I would say likewise, but nah...

Stay away from all the decent pubs on my birthday.

Yeah, sure.  Will do.    Life's too short to hang around trying to win friends and influence people ... ...

My how you've changed your stance , on the evening following that match you were foaming at the mouth blaming the "Asian Linesman" for not drawing McCurry's attention to the supposed hand ball ! Remember ?

We've brought a shitness to this league that none of you could have imagined. We keep your team in this league, so therefore we have brought much more to the league than the Skunks!

Bordering on incomprehensible, incoherent gibberish ... ... looks as if you've been smoking the stuff ...

105 posts after you started, you've finally noticed.

Very funny, granny!  Keep up the good work ...

Now, now Ric. You know what Wiki's like.

k.

And Munn's Vaults pub in Maryhill would not be advised for certain kindsa Morton fans before the game on Saturday ...

Okay, thanks, thats smashing. Cheers.

Not sure about that. They weren't pretty to watch but I think most people had them picked out as probable winners, although they didn't ultimately face much of a challenge. Gretna weren't impressive to watch and were undoubtedly less convincing than St Mirren given that they only won the league in the 93rd minute of the final game. Neither Hamilton or Dundee were particularly attractive last season and ended up being miles clear at the top. Dull teams always do well and that's why Dundee will probably win the league this year.

Doesn't really refer to 'decent' in a Glasgow context does it?

Now we're getting somewhere.  

Not for the faint-hearted frae haufway doon the watter.   Although their Moonshine (spirit dregs, mainly banana rum and cheap voddy) is good value at 50p a nip ...

It's true, Dundee don't play particularly attactive football, but watching Saturdays game against Dunfermline, I would objectively say that it's the best football I've watched this season. But yes, we rely on a strong foundation with experience all through the middle. Alex Rae insisted Hamilton won the league because they had experience in the key areas, and I think we have that now. I think teams will struggle to break us down, and that will be our key.

I never once referred to the Linesman as being "Asian". That was another Clyde fan, who I believe was subsequently banned.

The fact remains that on both occasions at Broadwood that season, you were mince and stole the points.

We beat Clyde four times that season and we were mince ?
