When Tyler French was at Dundee, how was his distribution? He has been very poor in every aspect of play at Morton unfortunately, which os surprising given the positive reports from Dundee fans before he came to Cappielow

Looking across there doesn’t look like the stand has side’s protecting the seats at the ends from the elements?

Cheers for the replies regarding King. i was hoping he’d be doing well in midfield. At least he is getting game time though it’s baffling why he’s at left back as anything other than an emergency.

How’s Alex King been doing for Clyde?

Michael Stewart forgets that the listener hasn’t necessarily heard what he has said before, so not giving one name wasn’t clever. As usual he was being objectionable. Plus, his use of “could of” is really poor. I can’t believe he doesn’t realise why this is wrong as he keeps saying it. For a national broadcaster their coverage down the leagues is really poor too.

Inexplicably they didn’t show Montrose’s effort off the woodwork, choosing a header over the bar instead

I sit in the stand in line with the home dugout. After he was tackled the guy behind me shouted “that’s your first touch of the game “ For some reason that triggered him to start shouting up. It’s the mildest shout i’ve ever heard to garner such a heads gone

As he walked to dug out, Morton fans were chanting “Brian Graham, you’re a w*****”” Responded with a get it up you gesture. Then stopped during walk of shame to dressing room offering to see Morton fans outside. Pantomime stuff!

I didn’t hear anyone shouting anything of the sort from my position near the front. Nor did he mention it after the match in hospitality. Brian just lost the head during the pantomime walk of shame, I think it’s a simple as that. I suspect most fans don’t know about his brother. I certainly didn’t until mentioned here. Undoubtedly a dreadful family tragedy.

Brilliant ! Scrappy Do style let me at him!!

It was a wee bit like a small 1970s style “get it up you” which you don’t see much any more. Not the worst thing in the world but already on a yellow so not sensible. Offering to fight outside was probably worse.

This is breaking news! One of the Thistle backroom staff ( i don’t know his name) was fuming with Imrie at the end and was ushered away. Was it him?

With the comedy gold today of Brian Graham inviting Morton fans outside, presumably for a fight, I can’t recall seeing that happen before . Not counting Cantona who just launched right in, has anyone even seen a player offer a punter a square go at a match they’ve been at ?

Graham got subbed….went off to chants of “Brian Graham you’re a w*****”…….gave the Morton fans a “get it up you gesture “…..red card ensured. Then had to walk past Morton fans to dressing room…..copped more abuse; stopped and started gesturing “see you outside , we’ll have a sort out there” Then reappears celebrate Thistles second in front of the away support. In a nutshell!

Some absolute idiots in the away support letting off smoke devices in a wooden stand tonight. Crazy

That’s a great point- old papers are a great source of club history.

Roger retired around 15 years ago. Good guy, great journalist for the Tele

Cheers for the reply. It felt a shame as any presence in the press is a good thing for smaller clubs i feel. We are very lucky in Inverclyde with the Greenock Telegraph providing Morton content every day.

In Helensburgh today and picked up an Advertiser and saw they weren’t carrying any Dumbarton content anymore. I’m sure this didn’t used to be the case? Anyone know why they have stopped ( assuming i’m not mistaken in the first place, which is always possible!)

Why is it being played tonight as opposed to Sunday? Feels like less of a sense of occasion?

Why is it a club the size of Hibs can’t have e ticketing for away fans or a pay on the day option, depending on the opposition ? It looks like they have the same arrangement in place as they had with Morton: Send tickets through. You have to go to ground midweek to buy them ( not handy if you are working, live somewhere else or both) If you live out of town, try to arrange to pick ticket up with the SLO at the math This is scuppered if you phone and the unsold tickets have already been sent back No e-ticketing . Why are Hibs making it so difficult?

Spot on regarding Cappielow. There’s a clock and the rest is advertising

On social media at the weekend I was seeing Coatbridge CSC St James pics . How does that feel ? Do you feel like you are fighting a losing battle ? As a supporter of a provincial club myself I get fed up at the hundreds who leave the area to watch Rangers and Celtic . I also heard Susie McCabe on radio a few weeks ago encouraging folk to go to their local clubs, despite the fact she is a Celtic fan from Coatbridge ( although she may have moved there after becoming a Celtic fan as opposed to being born and bred in Coatbridge and being a Celtic fan- I don’t know ) Towns like Greenock, Hamilton and Paisley , to name but a few others , really suffer from folk bypassing their home town team to support Rangers or Celtic. it’s hard to see how to stem the flow

For tbe away section yesterday was there an option to purchase a ticket on the day at the match ? I had used the online purchase so no problem - just wondering if there was another option ?

Teams with no league wins at home don’t stay up. You are remembering Gus as he was in charge at St Mirren as opposed to the reality of only three wins in twenty four league matches at Morton .
