Phillips455 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) Well who could have predicted a Motherwell Vs Morton game in the cups eh? Update: confirmed that this game is not on TV. Kick off is 3pm on Saturday 22nd January 2022. Tickets are on sale for £15 for Adults, £10 for concessions and £5 for 15 and under. Both home and away tickets can be bought through their respective links here: https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2021/12/13/tickets-on-sale-for-morton-cup-clash/ If it is beingnshown on PPV then you should be able to watch it here: https://ppv.motherwellfc.co.uk/ League pricing is usually £12 but cups are a bit different so we will have to wait and see if there will be a stream and what price it will be (I bet it will be £10). Everyone? Well whatever. Hopefully we will be in good shape for this match and it won't be like the Dundee United game the other week with a flooded pitch. The head to head, while on the surface looking to be very 1 sided, it does matter as much. Sure we have won most of the past matches but we did end up drawing at home in the scottish cup only 8 months ago so I wouldn't say its a certainty (even with Mortons current woes). Its a one off tie so anything can happen. Hopefully our good form will continue into December and January for this year's tournament and we get to the Semis or possible final. I predict a 2-0 home victory Edited December 14, 2021 by Phillips455 Updated kick off time and Ticket prices 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Nothing says 'the romance of the Scottish Cup' quite like a routine tanking in a town whose claim to fame is the railway station lift where local siblings got caught pumping each other. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldaft Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Happy it is Greenock Morton. Based on current form and league placings, but also as there should be a decent crowd omicron Covid and weather permitting ! Plus as GA was involved in a tight 1-1 draw last year he will know fully what to expect. We have a better team this season and our form is better also at the moment. But I expect a tough game. The fact we don’t play a competitive game for a few weeks is not a leveller as such, but it certainly hinders the top flight side v Championship team. Hopefully get a bounce game organised in the run up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paisley Ton Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 That is good news that PL teams are having a winter shutdown. Seem to remember Kilmarnock and Dundee sighting that as reason they got dumped out by the mightly Ton. 100 years on ,it's in the stars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time we played the “mighty Ton” in the Scottish Cup, you were swiftly despatched 5-1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the slagging of each other's shit-holes commence! I had to look the story up. A truly horrendous story. I'm unsure whether the deviant sexual act or the pitchfork wielding mob that drove them from their home is the more harrowing detail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 We won't win a game for the foreseeable future and yet will somehow find a way to win this - at our bogey ground with this appalling squad (like that appalling squad did at Parkhead in 2013). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillips455 Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) Confirmed to be a Saturday 22nd January kick off. Hopefully the Omicrom Variant doesn't cause any more issues like reduced or no crowds. Edited December 13, 2021 by Phillips455 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Manhattan Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I'll bet Imrie's looking forward to this game. Hope he's put the mortgage on a 9-0 home win, and loses by 10, the wee shite.

Sadly that doesn’t guarantee a fondness for the team from Fir Park. i believe Lesmahagow is in South Lanarkshire so we can leave that to our neighbours in Hamilton.

AyrshireTon Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Last time we played a cup game at a ground we hadn’t won at since the early 70s, Dougie Imrie guided us to a wonderful win. Mon the Ton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton's catchment area doesn't get beyond the retail park at the ground. Motherwell's excellent league record and track record of bodying us at Fir Park has to be respected, but from the outside they seem a strangely boom/bust team under Robinson. They even nearly contrived to lose this tie to a Gus fucking McPherson side last season. Motherwell will be rightly favourites to progress but we can now travel in some hope of a performance to do ourselves justice, and if we catch the home side cold then an upset is possible. Which could not have been said had that gutless slaphead stayed in charge. Spoiler Cue 5-0 shame game.

GiGi Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 May in the playoffs. Won the home leg v Montrose then home and away wins v Airdrie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
