Why 17?

A win wouldn't have been good enough for top 6. At least we're not Hibs.

How far did the bloody clocks go forward?

Devine's injured and out altogether.

Who is that?

If you want to continue with fan ownership, why are you so excited to see folk vote for a takeover you believe is inevitable - just so you can say, I was right?

I know what you meant - even though Gavin McCafferty (as far as I can see) didn't mention an unnamed insider as the source of his statement, he just came straight out with it. I'm not ideologically for or against fan ownership, but if we continue down that road I don't expect us to be shopping for players or managers anywhere other than where we currently are. I can accept that, as long as the club survives. Will you?

Standing up for fan ownership by saying he wants to end it. If that's true, fair enough - prove it.

Because he provides no proof of his statement. He may be right, he may be wrong, but since when were journalists guardians of the truth?

Can you confirm where he got this confirmation from?

Looks like they've got their celebrity obituary writer doubling up with the fitba reports now.

As fans, we can. Our lot were talking pish, their lot are talking pish. That's 25% of their home game bit the dust so far. Can anyone remember how many postponements we had?

The model we have gives Society members the right to vote on the future ownership of the club. The fact that you disagree with how some will vote and believe folk are easily manipulated, clueless morons doesn't render that model flawed or meaningless. Can't help you with the name of the person who bought those shares, but you're probably looking for someone sporting a top hat and a black, twirly moustsche.

Ok. So the answer to my question is, no - the membership's vote will determine whether any vote goes through or not. Yes or no - would you, under any circumstances, be prepared to consider giving up fan ownership?

Your proof that he intends to sell investors a majority shareholding is that Society members were asked whether they would consider such a possibility or reject it out of hand - would that not be prudent when talks with any potential investors reach a certain stage, irrespective of any individual's views? And can an individual push such a deal through without the Well Society members voting in favour of it?

Ok. Can you quote the bit where anyone says anything about selling them majority shareholding, or is that just your personal take on what he meant?

When did he promote the idea of giving an American the majority shareholding?

Talking to folk about their concerns won't secure that.

From what I've read, Gent's contract appears to run till 2025. Completely agree, he's been great for us. If there's any realistic way of getting him back next season, we're surely looking at that, rather than spending money on one or two unknown quantities to replace him. He seems happy here and must realise he's well liked, which are good starting points, although a chance at Blackburn or bigger vultures swooping will obviously kill us.

You know what 'over the piece' means. Nothing's perfect. It sounds like you believe they should make an unequivocal statement on this right now. Out of interest, which side do you think they should come down on?

That seems a fair comparison to me, though your opening words, 'I see the society as....' are interesting. I think a lot of people may be asking the question, what should the Well Society board's position/function be in this situation, given it hasn't been tested till now.

Would that not be seen as suggesting how members should vote? Should the Society be taking a position on this offer?

Not excusing the defenders for their failings, but you can never underestimate the effect a shaky goalkeeper who won't come for crosses has on those around him. Stevie Woods managed to spook far better players than we currently have.

If you read what the Dundee fans are saying, their complaint is the opposite of ours - how many times they've taken the lead and failed to hold onto it. It would be great to start games strongly more often, but that's this league for you I suppose, riddled with inconsistency.
