TheGoon Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I am begging Sportsound not to have fucking Willie Miller & Derek Ferguson discussing the nuances of this tonight. Have someone on that knows what they’re talking about, or at the very least a (sensible) representative from the Rovers fans. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 5 minutes ago, Have some faith in Magic said: What do you think tbe outcome will be? I really can't see him being a rovers player for very long but as you say the damage to the manager and presumably the owner is long lasting. I don't think they imagined it being headline news on BBC Scotland but surely they saw the major sponsor would be pulling the plug. Just don't understand the decision making process here. Sim will have been well aware Val would be offski I’d imagine, he might even have seen it as convenient (I don’t think they’ve got on in the past). As for the outcome, f**k knows, it’s moving pretty fast so hopefully something comes to a head sooner rather than later. Either way a lot of the damage is done. The difficulty is Sim effectively is the club. We’re between the proverbial rock and hard place here. I get the feeling things won’t be the same again, at least not for a good long while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadSaint Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 So sorry for Raith Rovers fans. I always enjoyed a visit to Starks Park. always a cracking away trip. Such a gut wrenching thing to end your support for a club that probably your Dad's and Grandad's supported. I guess fans of liquidated teams (well apart from that one that seemed to carry on regardless) feel that way and I still miss the Scottish Claymores NFL team and that was just a decade or so investing time, money and emotion following around Europe with a terrific core support and a home fan base of 12,000 or so which had the rug pulled from it. But to have it end because of a truly disgusting board decision to employ an equally disgusting man. Dear oh dear Where does the club go from here. Jeez! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've supported Raith Rovers for many's the year And I've spent all me money on tickets and beer We’ve signed David Goodwillie, now I’m sick to the core And I never will watch the Raith Rovers no more And it's no, nay, never No, nay never no more Will I watch the Raith Rovers No never no more I emailed all the directors, To see if that held any sway I beseeched them to rethink, But they answered me nay “Goodwillie’s our boy now, he’ll help take us up To the fans who stop coming, we don’t give a f*ck” And it's no, nay, never No, nay never no more Will I watch the Raith Rovers No never no more I brought from me pocket my season ticket bright I had tears in my eyes as I set it alight Tonight I will drink whiskies and beers of the best Signing rapist Goodwillie has made me depressed And it's no, nay, never No, nay never no more Will I watch the Raith Rovers No never no more And it's no, nay, never No, nay never no more Will I watch the Raith Rovers No never no more *inhales sharply through teeth* 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Job Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I know most things on social media should be taken with a pinch of salt, but it’s scary the amount of people who think Goodwillie done nothing wrong Not to mention the victim blaming and accusations she was being greedy and only on it for the money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 They’ll be talking about Aaron Ramsey, let’s be honest. An all time dumb decision from raith rovers here, just exceptional leadership. Its sort of reflective of those at the top of politics atm. Never mind if this is right or wrong, lets talk about will we get away with it. Frankly I am very happy to see the backlash on here. As mentiined, it was nearly my club and I like to think our board and the player himself would have got fucking hounded. This gives me heart, and despite a few utter morons, flies in the face of football fans reputation that is all too often negative and undeserved. Raith Rovers totally failed to read the room and as I result I hope those responsible are hounded out of football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when we signed him there was talk of a split, but ultimately when interviewed later players like Scott McLaughlin and Ewan McNeil said that he was (disappointingly, of course) roundly accepted. If there is a player revolt, extremely good on them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I take the statement which had already been prepared for this morning is being reconsidered lads? It was probably gonna say something along the lines of: "We appreciate this signing may cause some discomfort to our supporters however we must reassure them that this was an incident which happened over 5 years ago which David was rightfully punished for and accepted he made mistakes. We feel as if now the situation was in the past and David has served sufficient punishment and remorse so we would like all Raith Rovers supporters to welcome David warmly to the club" That would have caused WW3... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that's been covered in the Morton thread. And was part of the reason I was interested in this today. You either believe in rehabilitation or you don't. Both point of views valid, but I don't think it's valid to say, of course someone can be rehabilitated as long as he doesn't work there or over there, or near me. Of course people with certain convictions won't be working with children or vulnerable people. But where do you draw the line if they can't work in football or can't work at a club that is at a certain level? This point of view doesn't stand up to scrutiny in my view as there is always a line from what you might deem acceptable to what is deemed unacceptable . So as for Goodwillie or Lithgow or Griffiths... he takes a job at B&Q or delivering for Amazon. Is that ok? What if it was your local B&Q that your sister works at, or he was delivering to your house? Edited February 1, 2022 by Piehutt -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not been rehabilitated, which makes your responses utterly irrelevant. You’ve missed the point entirely and, in a weak attempt to go against the curve, have ended up looking like a complete simpleton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
