The turnout for the WS election was less than 25% of those eligible to vote, it's the remaining 75% of the local WS members that the WS should be encouraging to get them to re-engage with the club to make fan ownership operate as it should.

Agreed, we have enough homegrown issues with the club, playing squad, stadium facilities, improving the fan experience etc, etc to sort out first. Can anyone really see Motherwell FC becoming a global brand, that was the bulshit we got from Barmack when he tried to get control of the club for feck all.

A turnout of less than 25% is poor, are the other 75% not interested, don't care etc. If the WS is to step up after the Barmack episode then it's the disillusioned 75% that they need to appeal to.

Every football article in that rag has to have some connection however tenuous it is to the ugly sisters, it's best ignored completely.

Playing 1 up is hopeless, we were toothless yesterday, Robinson tries hard but his positional awareness needs a lot of work. We need to be playing a straightforward 4-4-2, or my preference a 3-5-2 as we saw how effective we were when Maswanhise came on yesterday and got down the wings, hopefully SK gets a settled formation.

He is on loan with Dundee untd covering the bulk of his wages so he is free to play in the cup as he did today and also if we progress, but not against his parent club unfortunately.

Agree with you on that one, he looks a great prospect

SOD for me he was solid all game always trying to get forward, and 2 of his crosses into the box were things of beauty that each deserved to be headed home.

Correct it was a beauty, screaming out to be headed home.

Your trying too hard now, that's shite patter it really is, have a look at yourself ffs.

The "SK is responsible for every injury we have" brigade will be in meltdown if we sign Jack.

Was it too much to ask to have the Etithad level football and facilities to go with my good view 😀

Not in our price range plus he's well past his sell by date, a no thanks from me.

Best views in the stadium for me, needs some money spent on it though as has been previously discussed.

Got mine as well, totally agree it's a great email, all the pre match info you will need. I hope this is a sign of things to come, as you say we'll done MFC.

The final league position you end up in over 38 games is no fluke it's what you have earned points wise the table never lies, so its either top and champions, bottom and relegated or somewhere in between. We earned enough points that season to be in with a shout of the top 6 in our own hands going into that final game at Livingston, so no need for favours from other teams. And by not getting beat, earning a point we got a shot at Europe. So it was no fluke we earned that league finish.

So when should SK have played him then, how many training sessions / bounce game minutes etc would he have needed before starting? your post implies SK knew he was not fit to play but thought he'd chance it anyway, which is just bullshit. If he was picked for the matchday squad then he was fit to play, him getting injured was down to bad luck not SK.

I get the impression that Watt will be our main striker this season Dave, alongside AVS when/ if he's fit. But given the ability we know he has I reckon that Watt up top alongside Robinson or Ebiye might be a decent shout as well, time will tell.

Correct he's been a football mercenary all of his career and made a lot of cash from scoring 1 goal against Barcelona. And to be fair you can't argue with that approach we would all do the same so fair play to him. It's the manner of his departure and his attitude when he went to United that annoys me and no doubt a few others, but as I have said earlier he is more of a natural goal scorer than what we have at the moment so if he starts scoring and we are winning games then I won't be bothered by what's gone before, so I hope SK gets the best from him.

I agree on his ability and as you say if he scores goals and we win games then I probably won't care, but the fact he's an arsehole of a man who did not conduct himself well when he left us still rankles me and I suspect a few others as well.

Is this for real? where did this nightmare rumour come from surely not the return of Twatt 😱

Is that to the WS meeting or leaving the job with his P45? Statements like that will get a few on here hopes up 😂

I take your point but for me i think the reality is that the players we are signing are first and foremost the ones we can afford, and are willing to come to the Shire to play football. Yes certain players have a longer history of injuries than others but if one of those players is available and affordable and wants to join the club, and SK and the staff think they will improve the team, are we really going to say no thanks we are concerned with your injury record. Using that approach we will sign nobody, Louis Moult would fit that category but he seems to be doing OK at Tannadice, so yes the Injuries are unfortunate but no reason not to sign a player.

Based on what? Is that picking them up before or after the injuries happen, the players dont get an examination every day, so did it ever occur to you they might be perfectly OK when signed, checked or whenever they get examined and after subsequent training or a match another injury is picked up. Or are you implying the medical team, coaching staff etc are just being negligent in their duties by playing players they know to be injured 🤔

A happy clapping cabbage,🤦‍♂️ that's moronic patter it really is, but I guess you are not alone as it had 3 likes that's the bit that worries me.
