Raith Morton: let's be having you!
Jamie_M replied to bagpuss's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Under which part of the current handball guidance is it 'a penalty all day long'? -

Well showing that weak penalty shout 3 times dragged it out a bit. -

Only looking up the table so happy with another point gained on Partick. Unbeaten run continues. On to Inverness. -

Injured and Mullen came back in and made the position his own. The fact McDonald has barely been seen since the turn of the year and we have had a kid on the bench instead had us speculating If he was away. -
There's a huge difference between ambitions, dreams and current, immediate term strategy. This isn't a puff piece to sell season tickets. It's a strategy for the next 3 years to move Morton forward with a raised bottom level of expectation. Nobody is saying they don't have the ambition of promotion and consolidation and you can absolutely guarantee our current manager isn't limiting that sort of expectation. You have mentioned 'with the resources at your disposal' several times without paying any real attention to ours though. It's well reported that we have one of the lowest budgets in the division. A relegation budget. We are already performing beyond our resources. We are fan owned. We don't have a boat to push out. While the strategy is light on the 'how' - let's take a stab at a piece of it in terms of resources. Our previous target was 8th. By setting the expected minimum as 4th in the Championship and stating expected Cup progression (so budgeting for qualification from Viaplay groups and a round of the Scottish cup) that's £150k extra league prize money, £50k extra cup prize money and a minimum extra split of a round of playoff gate money. That's not setting a 'title and promotion only' break even budget in the face of depleting cash reserves like Partick did. It's a steady and reasonable next step. We can't bank on it and need contingency as there is no owner to bail us out if it goes tits up but with belief in the strategy, a portion of that at least will be factored in when setting the next budget. Maybe that'll allow us to afford to get a few more players signed up in July on 12 month deals instead of waiting until October so we only have to pay for 9 month deals which will ultimately help with the early part of the strategy.

Hopefully it's a case of not risking them and prioritising Saturday rather than anything serious for Mullen and Oakley. Big misses. -

Imagine thinking that Falkirk fans being the absolute dregs is any sort of revelation. -
Well no, that's not exactly where we are just now. We have achieved the playoffs once since their inception. We may be sat in that position at the moment but nothing has been achieved yet and we didn't achieve them last season either. Seems a perfectly acceptable realignment of the strategy to go from 'survival is our aim' to 'we expect to be in the playoffs at worst and have a shot at promotion' every year. You want them to state their minimum aim is the Championship title amd set a budget that relies on nothing but that? That's the batshit thinking that got Partick in the financial shit just last season.

Read sick rather than injured. -

Once again big bad Morton kicked off the park by an absolute gang. Thanks for the 3 points, now GTF.

Game should have been wrapped up there.

The answer to this and almost every other question, is Dougie Fucking Imrie.

There's a carpark beside the ground but can be an arse to get out of. Douglas Rae Road at the docks to if you are quick enough for a space or find street parking in the streets behind Cappielow.
-
Aye, fair enough, I wasn't paying attention. Made an arse of it. In my defence, you said Dubdee in your original post so I had no idea who was playing.

Replays were normally at the other team's ground...

Why did you go back through for a replay?
-
Capacity & Stadium Layout We can confirm that the capacity inside Cappielow for this cup fixture will be over 8,500. Home allocation has been set at over 5,000 (Main Stand, Cowshed, Sinclair Street) Away allocation has been set at over 3,000 (Sections F&G of the Main Stand, Wee Dublin End) For this match, we will be implementing segregation between Sinclair Street and the Cowshed to allow for a higher capacity, please note that migration between these sections will not be permitted on matchday.

Yeah, fanbase when they go live.
