PAISLEY-JAG Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 After reading quite a bit on here about fans displeasure at Moore's comments to the media throughout this season and somehow managing to miss most of these in the newspapers, I seen today in the daily record he has came out as saying he didnt once say anything about thistle's inability to win the title or anything along those lines and has no idea why we would aim anything towards him. So out of curiosity and to get a bit of a laugh i was wondering who on here knows of any belters he has came out with recently that both contradict what he has said today and also now just make him look like an idiot? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewcal Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Sums the guy up if you ask me. After last weeks defeat at home to Dunfermline Alan Moore came out with this belter....... “I don’t think there were many in a Morton shirt who did what they’d been doing all season – playing good football. Granted i have only seen Morton 3 times this season but from what I saw I would use even the term football very loosely when referring to Morton.

Armand2 Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 When asked if he was interested in the Falkirk job, he responded with something along the lines of "why would I be interested? I'm the manager of Morton and we'll be playing in the SPL next season". Get it up you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any proof of the comments he was alleged to have made in hospitality after the 2-2 game? Tbf he has congratulated us on the title.

The Earl of Hathaway Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Classic from Moore in the Daily Ranger yesterday - "I have actually tried to contact Alan Archibald over the weekend to congratulate him but he must have changed his mobile number" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanieD Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 As far as i am aware the only specific manager who brought up the youth v. experience argument was Billy Reid when he was at Accies - and strangely, perhaps, he predicted that youth would probably prevail.

PAISLEY-JAG Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 As far as i am aware the only specific manager who brought up the youth v. experience argument was Billy Reid when he was at Accies - and strangely, perhaps, he predicted that youth would probably prevail. It has been fairly well documented this season especially around the christmas period that moore was saying stuff along the lines of we will throw it away and the title pretty much had mortons name on it, with a few journos agreeing.

Gary Peebles Tackle Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Not from Moore, but 'champions elect' in a match report? Dear me... http://www.scottishfootballleague.com/football/first/live-scores/3519169/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowenBoys Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Not from Moore, but 'champions elect' in a match report? Dear me... http://www.scottishf...scores/3519169/ The SFL should really be more careful about what appears on their official site. Wouldn't want anybody to think that our governing body show favour to any one club in particular... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Credit where it is due, Partick Thistle have been that bit better this season. But I don't want to talk about Thistle, I want to talk about Morton. this was from the Evening Times 22nd. The phrasing gives me the impression of a sheer reluctance to congratulate us. Nine points and seventeen goals in my book, Mr Moore, represents more than "a bit better". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Hosie Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 this was from the Evening Times 22nd. The phrasing gives me the impression of a sheer reluctance to congratulate us. Nine points and seventeen goals in my book, Mr Moore, represents more than "a bit better". Which is why, in true Kevin Keegan fashion, I would love it if we somehow managed to finish 15 points clear at the end of the season.

ian_mac Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I was in hospitality that day along with one other jags fan and the feeling in the room I will never forget. At the request of one of the people we were with, Dougie Ray thanked us both for coming but then followed that with a remark about how we must have been hurting at throwing away that 2 goal lead. There's no doubt that many people in that room thought the job was done, and I believe Moore and Dougie Ray were 2 of them. Moore said something like, "You saw what happened when we put that young team under pressure in the 2nd half today. We've got the points on the board and they don't." Cue frantic head nodding and murmurs of agreement from the men in blue and white ties. Before that day I never really had anything against Moore. He was a former player who was part of the 2nd Division winning team of 2000/01. But after that day I started to dislike the man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinny Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 It's quite simple. Morton fans (on P&B at least) seemed to believe that having points on the board meant they had the title in the bag. From his comments in the press and reported comments at Morton hospitality, Moore also agreed with these sentiments. Our players all along, even when overtaking Morton in the table, did all their talking on the pitch and refused to be as overconfident as Morton appeared to be in the press. Once the title was won, the players quite rightfully did their little bit of showboating as they had earned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This much was evident from the Morton fans that were on here for a while and the ones on the First Division "Banter" page on Facebook.

Ruchillnomore Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Seriously listen to some of the interviews with the wee Rat it is unbelieveable......all in all he comes across as a bitter bitter wee man....best quote " Partick got a rub of the green with Dunfermline going into administration getting Andy Dowie and Jordan McMillan" mental note to Allan thats not a rub of the green thats going out and getting players who are free to be signed something the Manky Morton could have done however as you then said you thought you had a good enough team and did not need to add to the squad....mmmmm guess what Allan you never. Morton will always be a SFL team with that guy in charge there is not an ounce of football in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagtastic Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Clearly too much ambiguity in the message. Should have just said "GIRUY Alan Moore ya greetin' faced wee walloper" imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graemei Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Just read the comments on the Facebook page, pretty arrogant stuff considering we weren't far behind with games in hand. Pretty damn funny though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
