  1. That moment when you've just graduated and you're in the quad and a Professor comes up to you and tells you on the sly that you've been awarded a 3-year stipendiary scholarship to do a PhD in Public Law at Glasgow Uni starting from September. Yeah. That.

  6. Morton v Queen of the South - The 'Fun With Facts'' 'Top Trumps' Guide: Significant trophy wins: Morton 1 QoS 0 Top flight league points: Morton 1612 QoS (snigger) 565 First Division league points: Morton 2036 QoS 1658 All-time league points: Morton 4087 QoS 3200 First Division Title wins: Morton 6 QoS 1 Seasons in the top flight: Morton 54 QoS 20 Seasons in the seaside leagues: Morton 7 QoS 22 So, to recap: Morton have a hugely significant trophy to their name, the 8th highest points total of any side in Scottish football, have been promoted a record number of times, many more title wins, hugely more seasons spent in the top flight and top flight points, whereas Queen of the South have spent many more seasons slumming it in the seaside leagues. Gee - just as well Fun With Facts was being selective with the dates, as the full picture clearly gives Monkey Tennis some credibility! But not really. Forever living in our shadow.

  9. I am not into cyber bullying...It happened to Seamus on here before. I think it is pretty shameful what happened tbh. Infact Seamus PMed me only this week and still wont come back online. What made it worse was some who did take part in hounding him off the board had met Jim at the Golf day and shared a few jokes and a few pints. After that episode i have stayed well clear of that kind of thing. Hope to see Bennett back online within the next few days.

  10. You know I can't resist a question like that! It will most certainly be evolution rather than evolution. In my opinion, these are some of the best things about Derek Adams's Ross County over the years, which can be found in most of his teams: Pressing the opposition in midfield Having at least one midfielder to switch the play to the flanks Playing a deep midfielder to link defence to midfield Encouraging the full-backs to get forward Most recently, breaking play with surprise interceptions and breaking fast. We should still see all of those things going into next season (the last point particularly), but the evolution will be in playing wide forwards who can successfully take the game to the defence, rather than midfielders who can function out wide. The one thing that stands out in the Maatsen Youtube vid is how often he nicks the ball off the full-back and sprints beyond him with the ball - this is something that County were very effective with in the second half of last season. With a pretty useful right foot on him, Sproule might have to fight for his place in the team. I don't know if the shape will change much, although I guess Meulens might be best suited playing off a number 9. As it stands, I see the first team like this: Brown Kovacevic Boyd Munro Micic Brittain* Quinn Kettlewell Maatsen Glen de Leeuw *Assuming Brittain stays. That's the perfect role for him. I'm sure it's known that I had reservations about Lawson and Brittain playing in the middle together, but Brittain was pretty much fantastic when he played there exclusively, especially in his defensive duties. He's a functional player though, not creative. Although he can pass the ball 10 yards as well as the next player, he plays around a shape and doesn't penetrate it. That's not a criticism, just an observation. If I were the manager from Monday, I think the positions in bold would be my priority targets. A 190cm+ ball-playing centre-back might be a pipe-dream, but it would improve the defence immeasurably. Ketts and Quinn together would probably be the highest endurance midfield duo around, but without Vigurs's grace then a lot of creativity will be lost. I think Stuart and Rocco will be competing for the same position in a sense - I think the midfield needs balanced by a play-maker. A physically imposing centre-forward who can distract the centre-backs and can help the ball stick up front when necessary, like a Tadé clone. I think the romantic in me wants to see a return to the Second Division glory days of playing four forwards in a 4-2-3-1, like what Motherwell and at times ICT have done recently. Maybe that's what Derek is planning after all?

  14. I don't suppose u could ask your club to provide proof that they were bought by sevco and it wasn't just a list of assets? After all that would settle this debate once and for all and your fans would lap it up. Where's the receipt? Until sevco are able to prove they bought a football club am afraid they are a different club.

  22. I think you have to realise that, no matter what you say or how sensible it is, VT always has to have the last word. Its a strange combination of his ego and personal insecurities! He is right though that Morton overall are higher up the all time rankings in Scottish football than Queens although clearly each team has had periods of superiority over the other.

  29. How do you know? Have you somehow managed to watch them play as a team before anyone else? Give them a chance on the pitch before you judge them!! Again going back to my previous point, our fans must have some impact on guys deciding between here and other clubs! Moaning at them before they've even kicked a ball in an East Fife shirt. Clueless.

  31. This is the bit that I fear. I think big Dods did a lot of covering for Flynn last season. Who the hell's gonna do it next time? We definitely need to get an experienced centre back in. I thought Neilson may have been the man - apparently not? I can see us losing a hell of a lot of goals with the central defenders that we have at the moment!

  33. VT disapproves of fun with flags. Regrettably, the only two flags that have been run up Morton's pole of late have been from their extended stay at the seaside. By his own very strict criteria only diddy teams spend time in these leagues. The joy of winning Division 3 (Three) and subsequently Division 2 meant nothing to him. These victories only served to fuel the crushing reality of the situation. His team were no longer the team his great, grandfather would have watched lifting the Scottish cup in 1922. They were not even the team of the early 80's that his dad spoke of. No. they were infact diddies.

  41. All very interesting VT, however, I have some fun facts of my own. Over the 13 full seasons played since the start of the century Queens have finished higher than Morton on ten occasions. Mind you, two of Morton's three higher place finishes have come in the last two seasons, so well done on that. On closer inspection we find Morton have spent six of those 13 seasons at the seaside, one of them of course was in the third (a league Queens have never played in) when Morton claimed a record crowd for the 'last' game of the season. Again, well done on that and hopefully they will all come back and watch Morton soon. In that same period Queens have won two second division Championships, two diddy cups, appeared in the Scottish Cup final and played in Europe. Morton on the other hand have won a third and a second division title. Based on recent history we can draw our own conclusions as to which team has fared better.

  46. Had a cracker of a game yesterday, needed to win to win the title and playing some spanish team, was a pretty good team and after 21 minutes I was getting fucking destroyed 3-1 with an Iniesta hat-trick and he had now resorted to passing it around his defence doing fancy flicks, this coupled with him doing the "shh" celebration and watching of every replay meant that I felt roughly like... Done the whole thing where you sit up straight and say "Right, gonna start playing now". And for once it worked! sneaked a couple of goals in the last 5 minutes of the half to get it level, despite me now feeling. I refrained myself and decided to just skip the replay and celebrations. Half time I put on Gundogan for Martinez and started to dominate, went ahead through Gomez and still skipped the replays etc. Until with 10 minutes left he equalises and goes properly overboard. Nut, not fair, fucking seething. Until I go up the park and score a 30 yarder with Gundogan with 5 minutes left. f**k this I though, pass it around the back four, few keepy uppys by the keeper, I knew he was seething, diving in with challenges trying to break my players, I was one happy cunto. Full time came and went and the customary message popped up.
