Nah. I’m not having that @antrin
History will show that the golden decade spanned 77-87.
1xFirst Division
1xAnglo Scottish Cup
1xScottish Cup win
Highest ever top flight finish
Multiple semi final appearances in Scottish and League Cups
Multiple season entry into European competition
Some of our players becoming Scotland internationals and breaking club records for appearances
Some of the opposition we played against home and away included George Best, Johan Cruyff, Michel Platini, Johnny Rep, Patrick Batiston, Ruud Gullit, The Liverpool European Champions team of ‘77.
😂 🏆 🏆 🏆 😂
We really should have pushed on from that time but on the back of a large amount of money from the Ferguson transfer, quite frankly squandered it on some really bad signings whether on transfer fees or free transfers commanding big signing on fees and wages which at the time started a downward spiral.

I was in it until I was 16 and drinking on Friday nights. It's as if we have led parallel lives.
Was only a temp thing once I had paid back college fees to my tight day job boss. Once that was all done it was out out time 😄😄

From memory the members of the 8th should have been able to count to 6 no problem
I was in 18th Paisley (Methodist central hall) for many years, it was sad to see flags laid to rest.

How can he support a dead club?
It's bad enough without starting him off on that one🤣🤣

I liked their old stadium but I suppose they are serious about getting to the premier league. New one looks like an updated version of say Bolton and Huddersfield stadiums. Reebok and McAlpine because I'm old🤣🤣🤣

I think we got every chance of turning them over BUT as I'm on backshift at work I'm keeping my phone switched off so my rangers supporting mate at work can't pester me 🤣

Troubled times indeed for Morton, after the death of their longtime benefactor Douglas Rae (owner of sweetie company Golden Casket) his son & successor Crawford does not have the same level of interest in subsidizing the club hence Hopkins departure, Crawford Rae also has less control of the parent company and is looking to bail out of the Morton and get some return on the £2.6M the parent company GC is owed by by the club.
The Morton Community Trust (their SMiSA) are trying to take over thee club - GC has agreed to write off the debt if they are handed the club's assets (the stadium & car park) and have agreed to allow the team to play there for a peppercorn rent and first option to buyback said stadium etc, however Morton would also have to pay for the stadium's maintenance in the meantime which could be significant with such an old stadium and who knows what would happen if they were to default - as ever the devil is in the detail.
There are quite a lot if similarities between Morton and Carlisle utd down here being they have been bankrolled for years by another company owned by chairman/owner and having an old stadium. I think the break even figure will be achievable for Morton and they can sort themselves out, even if it is them haha

A quite remarkable position given our well documented off field issues.I think it's down to determination which comes down to management team and making players believe they can do it.
We look more balanced albeit in the striker department. I agree with dipping back into the irish league or maybe a loan deal from say english championship club, most who are loaned out in January are going to be moved on so it's a good chance to put themselves in shop window either for another club or even a contract with us.

Got to say what a great topic this is!! It certainly has got me looking back at Paisley as I remember late 70s up til moving mid 90s. Whether its mrs CS thinking I'm going through some mid life crisis or my kids looking shocked when asking what school I went to, camphill, or where I lived being high flats or tenament on brediland road it's all good stuff.

Now that they're aware of the consequences, they'll all be testing they're reserve players. I don't believe St.Mirren were the only one not.
I agree but not every club publicises the fact they were short of goalkeepers and then having to loan one in from of all clubs, Hearts. Unfortunately once you do this, then anything that follows after this will be looked into in depth by SFA, etc.
Other clubs I'd say have and no doubt will go in for the 'injury crisis' and emergency loan deals instead of being honest

I've got to say fair enough to the club if they want to appeal the decision but I cannot see it being overturned, what would be interesting to see if the same punishment is handed out to any other clubs that have to cancel games if they cant field a team for whatever reason.
Reading in to it all the financial penalty was for the covid breaches and the 3-0 losses for being unable to field a team, which is standard even down as far, say, sunday league football.
What makes 2 of the breaches even worse was 1) the disregard for whatever establishment catered for the pre-match meal which would have to have made themselves covid compliant, and 2) also a disregard for the company that provides team coach, who would have to have made coach covid compliant with very visible signs for which seats etc to be used.
I do however think there probably has been a major baw kicking from the new directors and would be very, very surprised if we have a repeat of this.

How the hell I thought Norway instead of Denmark I will never know ffs

He also had the worst group of players ever available to a Scotland manger.
The team that played in the 2-2 draw in the Faroes was frightenly bad. Apart from a central defence of Dailly/Weir and a centre mid paring of Lambert/Ferguson, the team was comical.
Despite all that he got us to a play off. Something only Craigie Broon and now Clarke have managed. And Clarke wasn’t via a proper group.
His competitive record actually wasn’t that bad. Most of our horrendous results under him were in friendlies.15 minutes ago, TPAFKA Jersey 2 said:He also had the worst group of players ever available to a Scotland manger.

It’s not as though they did not have enough warnings or time to implement the required processes. The players, staff and club have fcuked up big time with this case. Absolutely no excuse not to have carried out the required processes.
However I don’t think they are alone in making mistakes. I reckon other clubs have had similar situations, but they did not result in any positive cases resulting in not being able to field a team and fulfil a fixture.
I said at the time, we should have taken measures to field a team using youth players if need be. It was always going to end up like this.
I don’t believe there is any value in appealing this judgement. Suck it up and focus on the remaining games.
I think you are right to the fact teams especially those with smaller squad might decide to give more youth players a chance.................ahem to avoid bad press.

On what grounds?
I'm with you on this FS.
Yes it may seem harsh to some as it's our club involved, would we be having a big debate if it was another ............naw.
As much as it's a football club and it means a lot, it is a business as well.
Any business that was going to start up after lockdown had/has to operate with a strict covid protocol which all staff have to comply with it's that simple.

My reading of it, the club found out about the car sharing in the internal investigation subsequently to the postponements.Whatever way its read, it's not good I'm sure you will agree. It's just imo that any appeal to this would be a waste of time and costly.

Aye, was a good week that. Was at the 1st two. Carlisle was my first ever away game with Newcastle. Went as a 15 year old in 1982. Terrible showing and a 2-0 defeat in the old 2nd division. The regular away trippers around me were seething at such a display but I was just thrilled to be at an actual away game. Can remember one visit not too many years ago for a 'friendly' when we received a less than warm welcome. Despite that I generally want Carlisle to do well.
Carlisle is a shockingly bad run team to be honest, a good season in eyes of owners is making play offs or just missing out, don't get promoted cos that cost money even before covid. They have got off well this season but I'd say 10 games to go they will change as usual.
I used to be interested mid 00's, watched them drop out the league and that was horrible, next season watched them go back up and then nearly to championship and that's when the negative play and losing came in. Going from an attacking team to playing 1 up top home and away, etc hasn't changed except lg2 instead of lg1 doesn't matter who manager is.

Having read the article it really would be a waste of time appealing it, club knew about the car sharing, etc and postponed games because they couldn't get a squad together. Seems a pointless exercise.
In the case of dundee utd, theirs is staggeringly stupid given circumstances but they are fulfilling fixtures as they must have a larger squad.
We got caught out through stupidity and smaller squad.

Interesting that wee Ole seemed to have learned from his lack of action midweek.
1-0 down to West Ham yesterday and, wham, made substitutions which turned the game.
A comfortable 1-3 victory and they sit 4th in the league.
The EPL is starting to have a more familiar look about it after the normal big boys were absent in the early weeks.
I've mentioned previously, Lampard is doing a pretty decent job at Chelsea, considering his relative inexperience.
To be fair he had to do something cos they were rotten in first half and should have been 3/4 down by half time really.
Must be a killer to have game changers on bench tho.

Did enjoy going to Blyth Spartans, Whitley Bay and Brunton Park in one week in the Tommy Craig era pre season.
We went to both pre season friendlies at brunton park sitting in line with halfway line, mrs CS home side of line and me away side. 😄😄

It was a busy set up til mid 80s. I'd go as far to say kids now would probably fall to bits if they had to do the same PT as then including my own. I don't think I've used brasso or duraglit since🤣
