My political leanings are very left wing - however on social media I talk to many people who's views are completely opposed to mine. Not everyone is going to have their politics slap bang in the centre. If I were standing for the well society board which I wouldn't ever do I really would not want to have to dilute myself on my own social media because my views are a huge part of who I am. Would I vote for a well society board member who was very right wing? No. But other people might - the point is you only know someone's views when they express them There has to be an argument that people can post their own views on their own socials without it being linked to Motherwell football club - or you'll get to a point where people don't stand for election People shouldn't have to be apolitical to be a well society board member Also - if people really do think football and politics dont mix then why do our club and other clubs do toy drives and food bank collections? That all comes from politics - whether we like it or not.

Derek isn't a paid club member though. Cammy also retweeted something in support of Tommy Robinson. I assume that SPL clubs have rules around social media posts - I'd be surprised if the well society do. Otherwise you risk people being censured for posts they are posting on their own social media. (Maybe not explained that very well but I'd be very surprised if someone who was known for being political would stop tweeting about politics just because they are a well society board member)

It did say that. Jan with an opinion to extend to the end of the season

I believe it was because of damage that a group of one spl teams fans might do after they caused havoc at other grounds. Young Livi fans it was reported in the press

Yeah. Surprised that hes not been picked up already

I thought Tony made a big difference when he came on. I'm personally not sure about Wilson. Some fans think he's great and others think he needs another loan spell. He's done well given that he's been flung in as it were

Some people have said he can't play against the club who loaned him to us.

I've just texted my brother and said I hope he signs.

It's actually v nice. Only small issue is that there's no seating apart from a couple of tables and stools - and that's only an issue for me just now because of circumstances.

Absolutely

Pretty much expected to see Watt on the bench today.

Apparently can play up front too

New signing just announced Tawanda Maswanhise

That was a terrible comment and someone really should say sorry for that because Tony was told Kettlewell said it

Yeah. It's a trauma bond where people suffering from things like domestic violence or being kidnapped have positive thoughts about their abusers to try and cope with their situation.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

When I saw it on pie and bov yesterday I was like god no but you know what - we need someone that can score goals (obviously) and if he does the job that's fine by me. I wasn't happy with the way he Ieft either but I'm happier than I thought I would be to see him back.

Thanks to Iona and Amber for answering my questions. Much appreciated. Sally too. The sound was a bit poor but not their fault - was on my phone and would probably have been better from my laptop.

Tony Watt? According to someone on pie and bov who said they had "sources"

I completely agree. And you know when someone has an injury such as a leg break and ACL tear I don't think that's someone being injury prone. It's a freak injury. I've seen people online slag off the manager for injuries that happened on the pitch. Also agree that Nicolson is bad luck. He played 16 games since he was signed. I hope he recovers and kicks on. His name is Callachan. Other folk have been spelling it wrongly 😏

I'll respond to you another time if that's ok. I'm not dismissing your views.

Great post.

You can't predict injury though can you. And you know some of the previous injuries to Callachan were what you would call freak injuries - leg break. Acl. I personally take my hat off to anyone who plays again after an injury like that. I think there's a difference between being injury prone and having injuries that have happened out of nowhere. Like Slattery did his ACL, so should future clubs be put off by that? I hope everyone who is currently injured recovers and kicks on and that's all you really can hope for. I also think it's been made worse by the fact we lost Bair - and aren't scoring. Spittal too has been a big loss

Yes there is. I'm watching on zoom. I got the email yesterday

They put out two videos I believe - I think two candidates were added slightly later on - the other video is on the Well Society's twitter page. She was definitely on the list of candidates you can vote for.
