What They’re Saying: Morton 1-2 Caley

I was a bit slack this week, as Caley made it three out of the last four in terms of quarterfinal appearances in the League Cup. It’s been a busy week for me personally, but I wanted to take a quick look at what the other, less distracted, football watchers out there were saying about the match.

“Credit to Craig [Brewster] – He came away with the result he wanted, but I think we pushed them.”
- Greenock Morton manager Davie Irons, after Caley beat his side 2-1.

“If you don’t throw balls in to decent areas, you’re never gonna score. And we never really looked like it, first-half.”
- Brewster himself, proving he shares my opinion of Caley’s first-half crossing.

“The side renowned for cup shocks could so easily have been on the receiving end against a determined Morton in a thrilling tie.”
- William Dick, The Scotsman

“It was a major relief for the Highland club famed for twice knocking Celtic out of the Scottish Cup.”
- Chris Roberts, The Daily Record, continuing on the same theme.

“… the Highlanders, despite good movement off the ball, were unable to find a cutting edge.”
- William Dick again, this time for the Greenock Telegraph. Double dipping, are we, mate?

“Certainly, ICT fans will be asking questions about the performance and if it wasn’t for a great strike from Dougie Imrie with less than ten minutes left the questions could have been far more marked than they will after the win.”
- ICTChris, Caley Thistle Online
