    That first session yesterday was about as high quality as it gets. The second one I saw (Trump v Jones) was quite frustrating but just a different sort of game entirely. 

    The boy sitting in front of me got huckled out before the eighth frame started because he was absolutely buckled. Incredible state to be in. Couldn’t get his ear piece to go on his ear - to the point where I was having to bite my finger to stop myself bursting out laughing - then dropped his phone repeatedly before starting to flail about and getting launched.

    Haha, I'm sure I maybe caught that on the telly, did the referee make a comment about "ear pieces" at the time?

    It looked on telly as though she was looking up to the angle where I thought your photo was taken from earlier! 😆🙈

    Absolutely vote for what you want and why - genuinely not pushing a case here.

    But that's not really what we were asked to vote for though. 

    Your vote placed has said you would not in anyway consider any proposal that reduces the majority shareholding. Full stop. Red line. 

    Whereas it sounds like you would with some more detail around an actual buyer bid consider it. Which is the other option

    I hear you. I think my latter, tongue-in-cheek, comment might have been misplaced in that respect.

    I wouldn't want the WS to not have a controlling say, leaving the club to the mercy of sole ownership.

    All this chat about the WS and investment of late has made me consider my own situation.

    I was an original WS member, a one-off payment of £300 I think it was, but since that date, I have contributed not a penny since.

    Tbh, despite getting emails thru from the WS, I wasn't even sure myself if I was still 'classed' as a member, although assumed so since I have had no comment to the contrary.

    I'm digresssing, but as I've said before, my attendance at games has diminished over the last decade quite considerably, to be somewhat null at this point, but I do wish to return in the near future as my wee boy gets older.

    He's 6 just now, and but is currently showing little interest in football to date, I'd rather not force the issue, and wait until he's more into it, with his pals at schools etc., a dangerous game to play, considering they're all Rangers fans. 🙈🙈

    Anyway, coincidentally, I have recently been considering contributing where I can to the WS, perhaps a small monthly contribution, given I'm not giving the conventional way on matchdays.

    I'm enjoying the debate, a lot of carefully, considered points being made.

    Personally, I voted for the first option, purely as the detail of what we're actually being asked to vote on is at present unknown.

    I think both the Club, fans and the WS put a hell of a lot of time, commitment and dedication into becoming an entity in the first place, what 7, 8 years ago, to offer that up to an unknown investor, would be folly in my view.

    I'm of the opinion that having a club to support, at the level of where our financial standing and fanbase allows, is far preferable than chasing a few 3rd places and two European qualifying play-off games every other season.

    I'll caveat that however, that's my stance on the subject...unless we're talking Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos levels of wealth here, and we're suddenly going to be bidding for Jude Bellingham to start threading throw balls to "The Bair" for next season.

    I saw them twice on the "Black Ice" album tour, Friday at Wembley Stadium - the day after Michael Jackson died - then the Tuesday after at Hampden, so that ticked my boxes, I guess.

    I'd perhaps have made the effort to go along if there were to be a Scottish date, but I'm certainly not gonna go all way down to London.

    Yeah but honestly what does that mean?  They could have had an injury list as long as ours, so had to put the boot / tea boy on the bench just to make up the numbers.

    Wee Al is on the bench for Millwall every match, doesn't get a sniff of a run-out even from there these days, so benches can be full of good and bad players, need to know some breakdowns before we could make any judgement about it

    Fair enough - I'll get back in my cave! 🙄🤨

    Saw last night that Annan Athletic have taken a young 20 year old striker from Newcastle United, Michael Ndiweni, on loan to the the end of the season. Now, I wouldn't know Michael Ndiweni unless he walked into my kitchen, smacked me on the mouth and proclaimed, "that's from Michael Ndweni".

    But if he's been playing with Newcastle United, and according to his wiki - (yeah, I know!) - was on the subs bench for the PSG Champions League game at St. James' Park last November, then he must have something about him.

    It begs the question, why then did he end up at Annan Athletic? Reasons of locale perhaps? Is there an inner sanctum with loan deals such as this? Is there a "database" to tap into? Or is it mates simply calling in favours?

    Like I said, not a clue about the guy, whether he's any good or another one in a very long line of haddies who'll forge out a career in the lower leagues. But on the face of it, you've got to imagine the bold Michael would have been happier if he'd been offered a shot at the SPL, rather than seeing the season out playing for Annan Athletic?

    Just feels a strange one for me.

    What a toxic, hate-filled and negative forum that's become .... unreadable, over-run these days with the negative agendas certain posters peddle almost daily. The 'experts' and posters who are never wrong, are happy to kick the club at every opportunity and continue the daily witch hunt for their 'favourites' to blame for all the club's woes and refusing to see anything remotely positive

    The moon-howlers, I can actually stomach. Everyone knows them, they are easy to scan past and ignore.

    It's the category that I've highlighted I cannot stand - those with the "I bet you've never kicked a baw in yer life" patter - like everyone needs to have played to a junior level to have an opinion. Pompous, arrogant bellends.

    Might work.

    Edit to add, I've obviously never been in a professional club but I imagine the fax machine/spam folder goes into overdrive with agents looking to get their unattached guys a gig this morning?

    I actually laughed there at "fax machine"...fuxake, mind those, the shiny crappy paper that would curl up for the remainder of time once it was spouted out.

    I bet the Fir Park office still has one.
