Hi there, first of all I'd like to welcome all the Morton fans that have found their way over to our little place on the Net.
Ok, so the Fergusson incident was bad but unfortunatly these things happen in football to every team and they will continue. We've had things like that happen to us too and it hurts.
The thing I like about being a Stennie fan is the fact that the fans of teams in our division don't just support our team because of religion or because all their mates do or because the team is winning everything. We are the people who travel for hours to get to places like Montrose or Brechin, just to stand on the terracing among the few fans that also make the journey. These people are the "Real fans".
Morton fans, It's maybe a cliche but take every game as it comes because in your next match you will have other decisions which will anger you and you'll forget the Stennie match and the Ferguson incident. The thing we don't need is bad blood between us because that's not what we are about, we'll leave that to the bigots.
At the end of the season I'll be happy enough if Morton get promoted but only if we are above them :-)
Brian
P.S. to set the record straight, Duncan Ferguson was not jailed because of 1 incident in a football match, he was jailed as he was on probation for beating other people up off a football pitch.
