The Rae family bankrolled Morton for years, recently writing off almost £2 million in shares they bought and a £400,000 loan. That's great for you, and I'm genuinely happy that your club is on a decent footing, but no more telling us about guys throwing money about when you've had money thrown at you too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just so happens that one of our long standing members is a multi millionaire who decided to donate a lot more than the rest of us.

spiders4ever Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Anti-Morton referee. The first QP goal should have been disallowed because the goalkeeper fell over and the second because there was a donkey on the pitch wearing a number 5 Morton top. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you miserable arseholes not just shut the f**k up and enjoy the moment?? You're still top of the second tier of Scottish football, a position you haven't been in for donkeys years - it might not last, why not enjoy it while you can without all this shite?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To still be spouting Trump-style shite the day after the game is ridiculous enough, but the guff about Stella, needles and alkies - honestly, have a word with yerself. You've just taken your first point of the season from Morton, albeit it's taken you till March to do it - you should be at least reasonably content to still be clear at the top of the division at the moment. And that last paragraph....... you didn't think that through at all, did you? Queens Park have been stinking out the lower divisions for more than a century now; it's taken a millionaire Celtic fan adopting you as his pet project of the day to get you where you are right now. Without his cash you'd still be grubbing about in League Two. Getting to the top of the Championship at this stage has clearly given you delusions of grandeur, as well as a nosebleed, whereas after the last couple of seasons Morton fans are delighted to be fan-owned, debt free and in with a good chance of reaching the playoffs. The "bitterness" and "rage" you speak of is all your own work. Seek help, sunshine. I don’t recall Trump calling Morton fans spoon burners. Have a laugh tiger even if yer team plays pish fitbaw. The utter hypocrisy of Morton fans moaning about investment into a club, another QP poster just covered it. People investing in football clubs is nothing new, get over it, and yes, it does show your bitterness. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're just lucky I guess Did Partick Thistle not also have a wealthy benefactor in Colin Weir and are fan owned? I don’t understand the hate towards QP. Considering what QP have achieved throughout their history as an amateur team and now moving onwards as a professional team it’s great to see progress being made. Morton might be classed as fan owned but they had to rely on shares being gifted and debts wiped out by wealthy benefactors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest, no club in Scotland would say no to a wealthy benefactor gifting them millions of pounds, regardless of whether they're a fan or not. And the fans of any club would also be delighted with the success it brings and would enjoy it for as long as it lasts. Will we still be this successful when that funding inevitably comes to an end? I think we're better placed to do so than most give us credit for, but only time will tell. I remember being jealous of the likes of Cove and Edinburugh City when they were beating us in league 2 with a bit of money behind them, so I fully expect all the teams we pass on the way up to be jealous of us too. We'll just enjoy it while it's still our turn to "buy" success. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Rudolph, there is nonsense "banter" from both sides. Some of it is puerile but some is really quite funny. I try to ignore the abusive stuff but still get annoyed sometimes. I suppose that's what folk are trying to do - annoy the supporters of the other team. That said, there's also some great comment from people as well - sometimes shrouded in banter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
