The Ginger Prince Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 6111, since 10th of April 1999. From 80-97 it was 18 Saints wins, 3 draws with just one defeat. Since 1980, Morton have defeated St. Mirren twice? f**k me I thought our Derby record was bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainMorton Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Have I totally misread it or something? 80-97 and then our last win in 1999, pretty sure we won a few games between 97-99. Not many, mind you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 We were absolutely rancid and deserved nothing from the game. Much like the last fixture we gifted a set-piece goal (at which at least three players were unmarked) and then huffed and puffed without offering too much of a threat. Fielding two centre-backs in central midfield summed up Duffy's initial approach to the game, and only once one of them was ditched did we show more threat.Two absolutely stinking home defeats in a row now, which not only draws rolled eyes about the supposedly heroic abilities of Clueless Jim, but must lead to a proper, defensive, central midfielder being signed this month, if only six months too late. Tidser's mysterious, never elaborated upon absence is absolutely infuriating right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Prince Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Is Tidser the one that was signed in January last year, but couldn't play as he'd already turned out for another 2 clubs? Surely he has made appearances this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I Gaston was pish the day, hence why the morton team were raging at the goal. O'ware who I usually rank as a diddy was the only midfielder with a bit of urgency and trying to do something without gelling his hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 The game was lost the second Duffy decided on that starting eleven. Let's spell this out, because it speaks volumes that everyone just shrugged their shoulders and said it was the midfield they expected. Four man midfield. Central midfielder on the left. Central midfielder on the right. Two man central midfield consisting of two centre backs. What kind of warped understanding of football do you need to have to actually think that's a good idea? Over the season so far Duffy has vastly overachieved - though it's fair to predict that we will end the season closer to ninth than fourth - and has quite rightly had many plaudits, but I'm wondering if in some masochistic way he misses getting stick and decided to pick the worst line-up possible to remind everyone just how spectacularly fucking clueless he can be. If any other Morton manager - and we've had some real duds who can only dream of doing as well as Duffy has - had picked a midfield like that they'd have been absolutely hounded for it, yet with Duffy it's merely par for the course. He's got away with his failure to find a holding midfielder as O'Ware & Miller have adjusted as well as they can and have largely been competent, although they always have been and always will be centre backs, but playing the two of them together is just astounding. One bad result doesn't change the fact that he deserves massive credit for the season so far, but literally everything wrong with that performance was down to utterly ridiculous decisions by Duffy. Edit: No idea why the font's weird. Div out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Let's, be honest. The seethe is seeping out here. First game? The same game we got a very dodgy red card (which even Duffy said was harsh) in the first half. The same game where we got a perfectly good goal ruled out? Yeah, that game finished 0-0 unfairly? Spot on, we should have won that. The second game? The same game where we missed two sitters before taking the lead? We scored and sat back, that was Ian Murray's MO. You only dominated the latter part of the game because we scored first half. Had we not scored we wouldn't have sat back. And even still, your last minute equaliser was offside. Unlucky? You're spot on. We have been unlucky. We should have 9 points, we only have 5. Savoury. Don't get yourself down lad, if I was Morton I would be seething too. Seventeen years, jeez (17). It started with Hendrie and then... Coughlin, McPherson, Lennon, Murray and now Rae. All of those Saints managers have contributed to that remarkable time frame. This unbeaten run transcends eras. Is it ever going to end? The pish is flowing out of me. WEE MORTON FC ARE SO SHITE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingston Bud Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Can believe Morton fans are having a go at the keeper for the goal That's never his ball plus he made a cracking save off his own defender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire defence made a c**t of it and a professional football team should never, ever concede from a cross from that position, but Gaston was blameless. There's no chance that should be a goalkeeper's ball, coming for that would Zibi Malkowski material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houston_bud Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 The game was very similar to the other two derbies. St. Mirren were poor again, with Morton having more of the ball, but other than a few crosses and shots from distance I didn't think Morton were particularly dangerous. Thought the back four and Carswell played ok defensively. Other than that we gave the ball away time and time again, Agnew being the most guilty, putting ourselves under more pressure. Morton offered very little, but you could at least see a bit of movement in their team, with strikers coming short looking for the ball into feet. Most of the time our possession ended up going back to Langfield who either put it out the park or right back to their keeper. Langfield taking a free kick away out on the left touchline was ludicrous. Everyone knew what was coming next. Thankfully it didnt cost us. Whilst still not great, yesterday was a huge improvement from Boxing Day, as we at least looked much more of a unit. Hopefully with a couple of additions in January we can pull away from the bottom two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Since 1980, Morton have defeated St. Mirren twice? f**k me I thought our Derby record was bad. I think between 97-98 they defeated us three times (at Love Street). Other than that they haven't beaten us at Crappielow in 33 years, whilst we've won there 20 (twenty) times.

NorthBank Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 There are people in Greenock about to come off of benefits and start their Old Age Pension who have never witnessed Morton beat St Mirren at Cappielaw. Sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
