Me and my dad often talk about going to the Cowdenbeath game. The 3-2 comeback against Celtic in the 3rd round probably fired everyone up, and that team could easily have beaten anyone on their day - losing those 2 semis was an education on being a Motherwell fan.

Still, amusing to see Rangers beaten by the RC.

8 points ahead with 15 to play for should be enough for us, though the experimentation will need to wait for now. This is where our ability to rescue draws from the jaws of defeat will come in handy.

You said the past 10 years, so that's the figure I quoted. 6 out of 12 is better - since the introduction of the split, it's something like 11 times out of 23 we've made it, so more or less a 50% success rate over the years. Prior to that, our league finishes would also be a very mixed bag. It's perfectly reasonable to hope for top 6, to expect it is pushing things. If you based your expectations on our budget and attendances, we're definitely looking at bottom 6.

4 times in the last 10 seasons. Wouldn't be my definition of loads.

The number of defeats across the league adds more perspective. Barring a total collapse in our final 5, this season will see the fewest number of defeats since we finished 3rd.

Ah, right 👍

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?
