Jai Quitongo. Talk to me lads. I know you raved about him but he had pretty bad injury problems and I know he wasn't always deployed as an out and out forward but his goalscoring record seems pretty shit?

What's he good at? What's he not so good at? 

Quick, stong. Will scare the shit out of defenders when he's on his 'A' game.

 

Kicks the arse out of an injury though.

[Branch Ton]

According to Darren Taylor we are hell bent on winning every game. Presumably if we hadn’t given a toss last night Warren, Crawford and Nick would have been given a run out. 

Same old shit however it is spun. The proof of the pudding is the dumplings they put on the pitch.

It still to this day baffles me that people don't rate Fouad Bachirou. A player who was quite obviously too good for our level, who has now went on to play for Ostersunds in the Europa League and exited last nights Champions League with Malmo on away goals.

One of the best players in a Morton shirt this generation and the only former player to play at such a high level in decades.

I thought he was fucking awesome. It's more him refusing to honour his contract that darkens his door than any footballing ability

And this. 

Debate his football ability all you like, but it alwaysamazes me that guys who would back a workmate to the hilt and cheer him out the door  if he managed to screw their employer while getting himself a better job will never forgive a footballer for doing the same to their club.

He moved on and he got himself a much better gig. We would all do it. End of story.

Which is why he exited this level of football as the defensive midfield lynchpin in a side that shipped 70 league goals and ten on the last day of the season, a farce that Bachirou played a full part in. So either he wasn't very good at his job or he was simply phoning in his performances after leaving the club to try and get a big move, failing and then crawling back with his tail between his legs. Either way, it's not an exit that should be regarded with anything other than utter contempt.

...to a Hungarian permadiddy outfit that Malmo should be beating comfortably, so not actually an achievement then.  

Bachirou isn't even in the top two of Morton players to have played for Ostersunds never mind the best player of his generation.

Bit harsh to lay the blame on him for conceding 70 goals that season. He was outstanding the season before when we actually had a good team, and surrounded by shite the following season. We could've had Kante in our midfield that season instead of him and it wouldn't have made a difference at all.

He was not the defence linchpin of the side that season. Reece Hands started the season in the deeper midfield role, then Habai became the main defensive midfield player in the team when Hands got injured. Scott Taggart was Kenny Shiels' choice in the holding midfield role for the second half of the season (including on the last day of the season). 

These are the facts.

His attitude has quite clearly been the reason that fans aren't happy with him. His apparent refusal to play, after whoring himself about trying to find a club, sticks in my throat. If anyone wants to try and earn more money or play for a better side then fair enough, but going on strike when you don't get your own way can f**k right off. Look at the difference between the attitudes held of Paartalu, who also didn't play his best football at Morton but went on to better himself.

It would seem. Turnipheid, that the only thing that doesn’t stick in your throat is the bile you constantly  spew out about a number of former players not just  Bachirou.

He clearly has  footballing ability, you don’t, so get over it and examine your own behaviours before you question those of others

Except that's bollocks of course. If your supposed strength is breaking up opposition play, you should be able to do your job to the extent that your team doesn't ship ten fucking goals in a single game. There's not one credible defensive midfielder who would let that happen - at least without getting sent off for persistent fouling. 

If Bachirou was good then only his snake-like conduct and attitude can explain his performances that season, which were dreadful.

Those are not even remotely the facts; Bachirou was the defensive midfielder and he was stinking. No amount of revionism placing Michal Habai as a regular in midfield - he likely played more games overall either up front or in defence - is going to wash on this forum.

Stinking and not washing seem rather apt descriptions of you and your fellow Bachirou bashers

I think you'll find that the best player in Ostersunds' history is currently back at the club as first team coach and already pissing down on Bachirou from the lofty heights of 3rd in the Allsvenskan. Swing and a miss. 

Absolutely devastated for you*.

Bit economical with the old actualite there Socrates. He is one of two assistants to the First Team coach. That’s just a fancy way of saying he carries the bibs at training

Did you think he was dreadful the season before we were relegated as well then? 

[vikingTON]

Not dreadful but for a central midfielder his positioning was often poor and so he routinely got caught ahead of the ball. A failing that he then showed in spades during a disastrous last campaign at the club that he didn't actually earn a free pass for (as opposed to Imrie in the same team, who did).

That’s simply drivel concocted to support your love of an irrational hate campaign. Much  in the same way as your De Clerambault’s condition compels you to invent and massage facts to justify you enduring love of a jobbing cart horse.
