In all honesty, I do reckon an injury free Morton have an outside shout of the 1st this season, if they sign a good striker and keep hold of Tidser. Certainly the centre back pairing of Rutkiewicz and McLaughlin won't ship many goals at that level, but scoring may be your problem. David Graham isn't prolific above 2nd division level and McDonald has been crocked a lot.

I hope Morton do come up in all honesty. Renfrewshire derby in the top league is something I've never seen and it would be fun. In fact, the last time Morton were even competitive in the same league as us I was only 15 years old. Middle of the road clubs in Scotland have peaks and troughs of success. Morton are due one, clubs of similar size have had their peaks and troughs in the last 20 years, Morton haven't.

Hmmm, Morton...not our closest club, barely a rival and not even in Renfrewshire so why the hell do we play them for the Cup? By all accounts this could be their last season full time with the Chairman about ready to give up. Studied in the town, worked in the town and genuinely really don't care about the club. Utter madness to believe their squad can compete or even finish top six...

Enjoy the drudgery!

Of course it's me, I certainly didn't send a Saint Mirren shirt out to The Great Sasuke in the hope he'd pose for me...that'd just be f**king silly. :-)

Oh...forgot, I also ran wrestling shows in the town and still don't care about Morton either way really. You brought some Danes over in the 80's and aside from Andy Ritchie that's about as much as I remember about your team. Hell, I've even gone to Morton games as a neutral and cheered them on...well, applauded occasionally...to a promotion clinching win over Dumbarton.

I genuinely hope Morton do well this year and I think you will. I'd love to have the derbies back - it's been too long.

Still dirty, manky, scummy Greenock b*stards though. :P

Good luck to you and Morton. Always had a soft spot for them although I admit it's easier to feel that way because we usually stuff you. It would be great if we could get derby matches going again but you'll need to get promotion for we will never be relegated again. (Says he crossing his fingers!)

Less than 2000 at Crappielow today, not great for a season opener. Always hard when your biggest match of the season has already taken place 3 weeks before.
