It was a great year and pre-season updates will be up soon!
 
Before I go on and read the rest of the story I must say, great loan signing, did you try and get Atajic (sp?) the striker? He's meant to be really good.
 
Pre-Season 2011

Goodbye...
We unfortunately lost a handful of players because of the stingy board. We lost: Stuart McCaffrey, Colin Stewart, Kevin Cuthbert, Graeme Holmes, Stewart Greacen, Brian Graham and Kevin McKinlay.

Celtic link terminated

We have unfortunately lost our affiliate with Celtic as we are now playing in the same league. Now, Michael Ordish and Patrik Twardzik have returned to Celtic.:(

These are our results:
GreenockMortonMorton_Fixtures-3.png

We never won any matches, but it was against tough opposition, so I wasn't surprised. Some great draws could help us in the SPL.

First Match: Hearts (A)
 
Hope you beat the "mini-Gers". Good luck against the Old Firm, hopefully you can cause upsets against the West of Glasgow and not the East ;)
 
haha cheers mate;) well... lets just say my hearts game was a big surprise...:p

10 Dundee
11 St Mirren
12 Morton
13 Raith

We were terrible. We were actually embarassing.

We got very lucky this week. I went mental at Douglas Rae and he coughed up 2.5m, but he said we had to get rid of Hatem Trabelsi and Patrick Suffo. I jumped at the chance.

Takeover?

As you can see Douglas Rae and his just-as-much-of-a-******* son Crawford have been very tight with their money and this is affecting the team's league position. It is rumoured that LaserMatrix owner Martin Thomson will take over and will have a whopping 10m transfer budget.
