vikingTON Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 A thread for commemorating the many glorious victories and the unprecedented scenes generated by The Famous in our milestone tenth league title win. Most league wins; most league goals; top league goalscorer; best away record by a country mile. Most fitting IMO given the side's fairly limited ability but unmatched bottle is the stunning 26 points recovered from losing situations this campaign. What a team. Once a day every day (at least until the mods let us move upstairs to laugh at St Mirren) this thread will run through one of the many notable victories that led the big team to a frankly inevitable title success. Scene(s) 1: After an unconvincing start to the season The Famous roll over a hapless Stranraer outfit, the opponents not helped by their dumpling goalkeeper getting himself sent off. Recent loan signing Dece McManus already establishes himself as the star of the show. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpoonTon Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Worst side to gain promotion from this league since us under Dick Campbell in 2006? It does seem fairly extraordinary that a team that conceded the first goal in 19 games should go onto win the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Jag Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I wouldn't be giving a toss if I was a Morton fan. You had to get out of that league as quickly as possible and you done it at the first time of asking. Next seasons Championship is shaping up to be more interesting than this season.

The last bit of your post is why we give a toss. Having St Mirren, possibly Rangers and Motherwell/Hibs at Cappielow next season will be financially good for us.

Hammer Jag Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Yes, I meant that if I was a Morton fan I wouldn't be giving a toss how the league was won or how many games you lost over the season. You got the job done in the end and that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That goes without saying really. In the same way no thistle fans would have cared that they were promoted ahead of a Morton team that had been much better than them over the season. The Championship this year was a bigger carrot than ever, especially since it became clear that St Mirren were headed down. Undoubtedly that contributed to frustrations with the team throughout the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano1874 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Worst side to gain promotion from this league since us under Dick Campbell in 2006? Quite possibly, but there's no room for that on the trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theoriginalhedge Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Enjoy failing in the play-offs again, champ. For a team like Brechin to get to the play offs with massive teams like Morton and Dunfermline in the league, is quite an achievement in itself. We must thank Jim Duffy for his assistance in this . Those 8 points made all the difference . Cheers Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 That's cute - perhaps you should parade a trophy and start a highlights reel for finishing in mid-table. Off you pop then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
