United have scored 99 league goals at Cappielow.

Have to get Shankland on first  goalscorer for that, unless there's somebody else playing tomorrow with a particular dislike of Morton.

 

Just about everyone inside the ground will have a particular dislike for Morton at this moment in time.

Any competent manager should be making a good run at 4th with some of the quality in our squad and the abysmal standard of the division this season. The more that people wet their knickers about a barely perceptible relegation threat, the lower the benchmark for success is set implicitly for this clown.

Much of this alleged, err, knicker-wetting on here has come from you and Dunning, who between you seem to have decided that unless the manager gets sacked immediately the entire planet will turn to mush and disappear up its own fundament.

Think it's time you two accepted the fact that no matter how much you and half a dozen more on the Morton board moan about it, it makes not the slightest difference to the thinking of the board and the board have no intention of changing manager at this time. 

"Change what you cannot accept -  but accept what you cannot change".  And give us all some peace at the same time. 

Oh, and go and change your knickers. You stink like polecats.

Your argument here essentially amounts to ‘shut up and eat your cereal’. Knowing the board have no intention of sacking Johansson doesn’t mean fans have to stay quiet and have no discussion of the job he’s doing on football forums, where discussing how football teams, players and managers are performing is kind of the point of the exercise.

You’ve not actually offered a counter argument to any negative analysis of Johansson at any point, you just repeat that he’s not getting sacked so everyone should be quiet and stop talking about him after he masterminds five goal pumpings and defeats to East Fife. Should we not discuss how Michael Tidser would perform in a more advanced role either because we know Johansson isn’t going to play him there? After all, we can’t change Johansson’s desire to play him deep if at all, so we should shut up about it and accept that our best player isn’t going to be played in his best position.

To give just one example, the club had no intention of sacking Jim McInally but were eventually forced to reluctantly accept his resignation, having rejected it twice previously, in light of pressure from the support. Criticism from fans can evidently have an influence.

For what it’s worth I doubt the fanbase in general are anywhere close to the kind of tipping point things reached with McInally, and we’re still in a position where picking up just three or four wins for the rest of the season should see us comfortably safe, but just because the board are comfortable with giving Johansson time doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have any discussion of what he might be doing wrong after bad results.

Is there any other teams fans who are  looking to replace the manager as much as Tons fans?

I've found it quite amusing reading week in week out how posters from opposing teams keep thinking that their players are so much better than ours but that they're underachieving so much.

In reality I wouldn't swap any of our players for anyone on the evidence that I've seen this season. Who knows, maybe we've just been lucky that every team we've played has had an "off day" when they've come up against us, despite the fact that we've controlled most of our matches of course.

Oh well, another chance coming shortly for Morton to put the overachieving upstarts in a poor league, in their place..................

See, it can be done. A post about the manager that's free of histrionics, hyperbole and the reek of ammonia from nether regions. Overlong, as ever, but a fair and decent post otherwise. Thanx. If only some others would do the same....... 

I don't feel the need to offer my own opinion on this all the time;  in fact I deleted some comments on it before posting above. FWIW I'm another who isn't overly enamoured with what we're seeing at present. 

The most relevant part of your post is your last paragraph. Fair and balanced discussion without the usual rubbish is fine by me, though since it'll change nothing, and nor should it, a little less frequent would also be a lot less boring.

Looks like McAlister at RB. Yikes!

He has, at least, broken up their play on that wing. He’s also given the ball away a fair few times, but then most of the team have been doing that too.

McCrorie keeping us in it.

Thank f**k for McCrorie. If we didn’t have an excellent goalkeeper we’d be at least two down here. Another shapeless mess of a performance.


If you can just shapeless mess it to another point, that’d be smashing, thanks.

That’s three league games at home in 2019 and just a single goal scored - a set piece - in all of them.

It’s not just that TTGJ is making an absolute c**t of things in terms of results, the fact that it is eye-bleedingly bad to watch is if anything worse.

He’s a gutless, shitebag loser. Get him in the sea.
