Genuinely shocked to see people suggesting that Dick should be kept on. Not to come across all Ro Sham Bo but he’s woeful, he struggles to do the absolute basics such as pass the ball to a team mate, stop a cross or win a tackle. He offers us nothing going forward and is very poor defensively, constantly gives away fouls around the box as well. Not worth keeping even as a backup for me. It’s an area that we had to improve on last summer and didn’t, we can’t make that mistake again regardless of what league we’re in.

Will the lounge at Lesser Hampden be open to away fans before the game again this time?

Best boozer for away fans pre-match?

Lies.

Appreciate the response and I’m glad to hear it’s not the plan to add it in permanently. Wasn’t a criticism of yourself or anyone else at Raith TV, whenever I’ve watched a stream the commentary has always been enjoyable but when it comes to the highlights I always look forward to seeing and hearing the raw emotion of the goals being scored again, the roar when the equaliser went in at Partick was something else and it sounded like there was 5000 of us there not 500. I get that others may prefer the commentary but I’d be very surprised if that was a majority opinion.

Was looking forward to hearing the roar from the crowd as the third goal went in so disappointed to see we’ve stuck commentary over the audio on the highlights. Like everybody else I’m a huge fan of everything Raith TV do for us and have nothing but appreciation for the guys but hopefully this isn’t the plan moving forward, it’s unnecessary and dilutes the enjoyment of watching it back for me.

Some of the nonsense that gets posted on here is unbelievable. The only people who will know what John McGlynn was offered in terms of budget for next season are John McGlynn, and members of the board. “I’ve heard from multiple sources” - one person has made something up and it’s been shared and repeated by others. We’ve got enough reasons to be annoyed with the club without inventing new ones ourselves. Let’s wait and see who we appoint as manager and how the summer recruitment goes before the usual bed wetting begins.

Excellent away support last night [emoji1319]

Anyone who knows, has worked with or has even just spent any time in the company of McGlynn will know that this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Obviously emotions are still very raw given what’s unfolded at the club this week, so I can understand that todays statement hasn’t done much to calm the fury of some fans. However I don’t think that sacking the manger is the answer. Nobody has done more for Raith Rovers over the last 20 years than John McGlynn, on or off the pitch. He turned us from a shambolic outfit rotting away in League 1 into a team challenging for promotion to the top tier. Twice. Even in the years he wasn’t employed by us, he was at every club event, fundraiser or testimonial he could manage. He was out in the community delivering supplies to the vulnerable during lockdown, and again at Christmas. He lives, sleeps and breathes this football club. He has dedicated his life to Raith Rovers and always given everything he could to try and bring us success. In signing Goodwillie, he has made a monumental error of judgement. Perhaps he thought that because the player had been at Clyde for 5 years without causing too much of a stir that this wouldn’t go down too badly and people would see it the same we he did, as a good signing who would score goals. I don’t believe for a second that McGlynn would have signed the player if he understood the hurt and the outrage that it would cause, that’s obviously extremely naive on his part and I’m sure in hindsight he deeply regrets ever even considering it. However it’s not up to me to make his excuses for him and it would be good to hear him come out and say as much in an interview before Saturday. The man is in our club’s hall of fame and there’s barely anyone more deserving of that status than him. I can’t control what other fans do but the thought of us hounding out one of our greatest ever managers over a mistake, even one as catastrophic as this one, is crazy. Cancel culture is rife in our society and people seem to believe that the only way to right a wrong is for a man to lose his livelihood and disappear from the public eye. I completely disagree with that and I think that if anyone has earned a chance to put this right it’s John McGlynn. All he was trying to do was all he has ever tried to do during both his spells in Kirkcaldy, and that is bring success to the football club we all love.

Thank f**k this game is at home so we don’t need to listen to “Fermer” screaming down the mic and telling female viewers to get back in the kitchen.

Second half, do we have to?

What a bizarre thing to say.
