Be interested to see how this pans out, from afar, for 92minutes, it seemed that this would be very much a 'no one deserves it' poll

there will be a lot of love for Louis Moult and deservedly so, but Ripley made a couple of amazing stops to keep us in the game and then another few to see us out, also impressed with his focus today after a feeling he was to easily distracted. so big Connor gets my vote

Today's good deed

I'll choose not to, agree to differ, like everyone with opinions they can be different, I accept that. and my personal opinion probably isn't that different on most of the society performance to date from your own, going by the brief chats we've had, its failed over and over to deliver, except it would now seem on the core goal...... the difference as i see it is, some people are choosing not to fill in the gaps with the worst case scenario, I do not know the reality on much of the detail, so choose to seek the answers which are there to see and allow for discussion on what is not on the back of that I'm not going to let that worst case scenario propagate on this forum, or any other, it does the club or society no good, a club we are all meant to be supporting not battering. the society was the only option after Boyles long time in charge, Les was the only viable option in the opinion of the Club and the Society board in the last 12-18months Les has decided he needs to move on, the reasons are not public, a memorandum of understanding has been signed to transfer ownership of his shares to the Society for £1 Details have still to be finalised, but it has been mentioned that capital has been provided to assist during the transfer period and loan payments to be deferred. but as this is a 'Well society thread, lets keep it to that, the Society is on the brink of achieving it's core goal what do people think the Society should have done, when Les or his people approached them to offer the club for £1? say, no thanks, thats exactly why the society was formed but we feel it would be best to reject this offer A mythical alternative is not on the table, maybe if the deal goes through the society could trade some of the stock for cash whilst retaining the majority holding, I'd buy some, maybe they have received significant contributions to date? there are plenty of challenges, as always, but come on, lets give some support to help make it work, I stopped contributing after my initial membership was paid, I dont believe due process was followed on too many occasions, as a compromise I signed up my nephew to help with the membership target, Tonight I've signed up for regular contributions, the Society are likley to own the club, that was the aim, the Society require funds to function, thats what thousands of us agreed to, so I'l back that up now that the situation requires it ( and im in position to do so , as should be given, no one should be over stretching for any payments) I'm actually more frustrated with the club on reflection than the society, the professional errors have been more damaging to date.

he appointed directors to run the shooting match..........................

Yet the blinkered views of many don't even consider these scenarios.

We should play it as long as we have 13 registered players Approaching 6000 fans have made plans to attend , majority have paid in advance

you do not have to pay an annual renewal, if you dont and have paid up a full membership, you are still a member with voting right. The society thanks you for your significant contribution to date and 'invites' you to consider setting up one or more options to contribute more if you are able to. the orignal annual renewal was paid to the club for the 'benefits' package from the club' given to the various members levels. at one of the society meetings it was recognised that this money was essentially lost to the society , so a vote was passed to seek a change in those terms, I dont recall the exact detail as higher level members required some benefits for their investment, but the outcome was that the annual renewal fees were to go to the society funds. around the same time, a move to monthly payments was proposed and eventually kicked in, it hadn't been enabled at the start, as there was advice given that, as an industrial provident society any regular payments could be seen as income (?), hopefully someone will clarify if I'm inaccurate , but it was certainly implied that the annual 'renewal' fee, any ad hoc donations or regular monthly payments by existing members now goes towards your own membership fund and will eventually move you up to the next level when your ongoing contributions achieve that target. so if you were an £300 Steel member and you contribute £5 pm then eventually you would have funded a Claret level membership .....and so on. But for me anything in the hope that the fund small or large has always been there to support the club when required, much like the modern day crowdfunder appeals, contribute what you can to make somethign happen, theoretically we hav eall bought into the need for club to exist, surprising so many who have the ability, downright oppose the idea, but that is their right to choose

Oh for fuxache, the society do not run the club! Stop with that pish The society could own the club. The board and management run the club . Like millions of people all over the country who own shares in small and large, even global companies , but they don't run said company

It's time for the club as a business to operate in a manner that the society is not required to contribute every year Budget needs amended as been near catastrophic last 5 years We don't have business income to support an xs of strikers or goalkeepers on normal footballing wages Our commercial dept have to stop pissing people off as every pound is needed Every supporter has to find a way to get friends family colleagues to spend even just a small amount on the club, be it a gift purchase , well lotto ticket, draw ticket function or event or just encouraging a friendly or opposition fan to attend a game And it would be nice if the mentality of some of our fans could change , and think on and refer to events in a neutral or even positive tone it's amazing how it could help matters I'm not saying don't question or challenge but instead of society payment into a black hole, acknowledge that payment is simply a contribution that is going to support the club to get back on a balanced keel and continue all the good things it does for us and the community Ps £60 a year to join the society , no one will convince me we do not have at least another 1200 supporters, fans or even just friends of the club who couldn't afford that, whatever the reasons, it's a choice many of the doubters now have to make, keep telling others it'll never work and be part of the reason it's struggling or put your nose back on your face and do your best to contribute what you can, but whatever at least if you insist on Refusing to sign up at least give the club a chance by setting up a standing order to play the well lotto monthly or getting that little extra into the club in a similar manner

as a member why dont you ask, the organisation you're membership is for, any answer on here is hear say at best. but since its the internet. yes and no who do you mean 'WE' the football club took a loan, the payments are now deferred, details to follow

Ross County Signed Jackson Irvine on 28th July cash on striker not at the club ? you mean Clarkson or Robinson ? if it was Clarkson, he signed in June we still had cash for lots of players and Robinson, if it was Robinson he never signed until nearer end of August

No, we've got a full squad of back up players

post #116 has the elbow incident

is it not better Accies take the points over ICT? ICT have a game in hand over us and we play them so have input on their placing before split

Marvin for me , plenty others had good games, Moults workrate is exemplary

Looking to go up the table, must hope for an ICT win Looking behind us down the table, prefer St Johnstone to take all the points. hedging bets, I'd be happy with the draw, but being honest a St johnstone win would feel more comfy than ICT taking the points and jumping us with a game in hand

Looking like some very poor decision making up front , and some terrible decision making at back letting imrie in a few times, luckily he crapped himself ...so far

Ripley, Hammell, Laing, McManus, Pearson, Johnson, Lasley, Moult, Cadden, Hall, McDonald subs: Samson, Ainsworth, Fletcher, Kennedy, Law, Leitch, McFadden Accies: McGovern, Gordon, Kurakins , Devlin, Imrie , Crawford, Kurtaj, Morris, MacKinnon , Lyon, Tagliapietra

Is the Jutkiewicz equaliser permitted One of the most elated moments in my time following the 'Well

bottom of this pagehttp://www.defunctspeedway.co.uk/Glasgow%20shawfield.htm , pretty sure thats Fir park, , theyre guessing 1998, maybe a different occasion,and prettty sure it wasnt a Rangers game but since the date 14th March 98 is mentioned , any excuse for this:

Shaun?

a statistically realistic, almost optmistic points estmation from Milo? we are on target to hit about 39-40 points this season, based on results to date. add in more variables - like points vs likley opponents for the run in and it could look slightly worse, plenty of other routes it could take, but we need a fix and we need it pretty quick, a hell of a lot of posters (not yourself) who had been slating the doom mongers for reacting to 4 or 5 bad results (with some jaw dropping formations) were very quick to clamour over one very shakey victory as a measure of improvement, the reality seems to have been we got quite/very lucky at tannadice, with some grit from a few players , a touch of class to get us going and a serious slice of luck to keep us in it , which seemed to break them and open up space for skippy to make it look like a comfortable victory. there seems to some signs of improvement in very limited areas, the set pieces, seem to be delivering more frequently, fitness definately improved, but the reality of not having having/selecting enough decent players in a regular first team cannot be ignored. I'll not pretend to even like McGhee, his formation tinkering was maybe required to shake things up, but it has been an unmitigated disaster , that said he needs to re-focus on whats going wrong, and start winning back players support not enough quality in the squad to cope with his tactical changes week to week let alone during a game, he needs to get old skool and stop being so fanciful oh and a proper out ball for all off the 90 minutes might actually relieve the pressure on a pretty ropey defence

Was looking at a few others big striker, Esteban something maybe Spanish, looked awesome on the YouTube clips

So why are the players not up for it? You don't agree with formation and tactics Ainsworth was woeful when asked to play in middle of a missing midfield , who would even think that was an option let alone a manager that said last week he shouldn't ask players to do things beyond their capability Lasley missing I agree, he has flaws but we need his work rate, who was it choose not to play him? McGhee gets little support as he's an arrogant arse, who blows smoke over all his decisions that go wrong, yes the players are letting us down but that's fairly normal when they either don't believe in the manager, or are played in ludicrous positions or hav simply list self belief from getting hung out to dry I've no time for McGhee, giving him a long contract was crazy stuff, he thinks he's a something special as a manager when all the evidence suggests otherwise, a good coach who could hav sorted us to the summer with a strong board laying the groudrules, we're stuck with him and need him and the players to scrape together a few points to save us again Then he should go, along with a few others that have failed to even make us a stable mid table team Until then how about nice simple 4-4-2 with players knowing their jobs etc
