Hank Scorpio Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 The boy that’s the editor is a self important fanny. Why on earth would you think you could write that in the official program? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of an end of season protest as the club are just quietly sweeping things under the carpet. Maybe John Sim’s recent car crash interview was in his mind? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when he originally came to us nobody knew who he was. I seem to recall a few years ago that folk laughted at the thought of Dick Campbell coming to us as he was a jobber who was passed it. In our league so called jobbers McCall and Dodds managed to get their teams to finish above us. I hate the argument that you can't change manager as "there's nobody better out there". It's very much a statement that holds no truth to it. For me McGlynn's time is done. We won a few games at the end of the season against a Partick team who are in free fall and Hamilton who then lost 4-0 last night. Hardly the sign that things have turned. Killie were on their holidays last night and yes we played well but as a team we failed to really kick a ball since November. Winning the diddy cup really papers over the cracks and cannot hide the fact that we were on the verge of going top 4 months ago and now finished 17 points off the top and conceded 17 more goals than Killie.

Ro Sham Bo Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 What he's written is all fair enough to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I don't think the points he's making are particularly unfair or unreasonable, but I don't think you can expect to use the official club programme to make criticisms like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a supporter like all of us. The board and club promised transparency. The Emperor clearly doesn’t want us knowing what’s going on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I seem to remember a previous programme editor being relieved of his duties for what he wrote at the end of a previous season... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I don’t see anything wrong with what he’s written. I feel a bit stuck in the middle. I can see why some people might be okay with us signing a player who has been playing for another club for years and scoring lots of goals and not see anything wrong with that. I can also see why other more principled people would be horrified that we signed that player. Either way, that player hasn’t featured for us and the sooner he moves on the better. It was a bad decision to sign him. Personally, I just like turning up every two or three weeks and watching the football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Seems an entirely fair comment to me, there is nothing wrong with it. Can equally see why the club might not be happy being criticised in their programme, right enough. Back soon, away to remove the splinters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tiel Burn Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Not many will have an issue with the points raised many of which I agree with. However the programme is littered with digs and point scoring against the club. It's not the remit of the programme to service opinion pieces that don't reflect club policy (whatever that might be) Editor knows what he's doing here and used an official vehicle to raise fan group/individual grievances. The front page carries a "not the" Rovers review tag yet its clearly the official programme with manager, Chairman etc contributing. First time I've read a programme in ages and aside from the issue it's a mishmash of pieces many of which are barely relevant to RRFC. Maybe that's how all programmes are. The player pics reminded me ream I sponsored a jersey, have I missed the player event? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilted John Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I think he’s 100% right in what he’s saying but I also agree that it shouldn’t have been printed in the programme. We need to move on from all of this now. Grandstanding like that won’t solve any of the issues he’s mentioned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re supposed to be embracing a new progressive stance. But it feels we’re heading back to the bad old days. If you criticise the board, they’ll threaten to close us down. McClown and Smith threatened that too if you remember. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 It does say in the Rovers Digest email that the programme has been independently produced and funded so I don't really see the issue with them using it as a soapbox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 If you feel that way, fair enough, but using the official programme is not the place to air those feelings I’m afraid. He could use his wee club RDS for that if he wanted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
