Their actions helped ensure Goodwillie never played for us, they were very commendable. The club needs to now rebuild its shattered reputation and the media outlet for this will be important. I'm not convinced they are going back to be mouthpieces for the current board and they will help us understand what steps are being taken to rebuild the bridges burned over the last couple of weeks. I look forward to seeing their output and judging it for myself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevoraith Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 This has now got to the stage where no matter who does what someone is (or pretends to be) offended that they’ve said the wrong thing, said too much, not said enough, gone too far, not gone far enough etc etc etc. It comes back to what I said in the immediate aftermath about people treating the situation like it’s black and white when clearly there is a lot of nuance in the background that we as the general public will never (and should never) be party to. And now we have rival fans starting to pile in with their faux outrage too. Well done Raith TV for taking the stance that helped to make sure a rapist never played for our club. And well done Raith TV for returning to ensure that the connection with the fans that rely on your service is not irretrievably lost. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevoraith Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 WowRival fans have been great throughout this. Standing by us and having sympathy rather than taking the piss. Most are still the same but there are a few starting to point score and act like they are outraged at every comment made (or not made) by the club. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flemboflem Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 The 15th of the month is when they asked peoples standing orders for the supporters fund to go into the coffers. Wonder how big a deficit there was this month to previous. I hadn't cancelled mine, possibly due to laziness. However certainly droves of people most likely have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see much outrage - personally I'm not surprised at the way this is going, probably the way your thick, ignorant BOD & management team wanted it to go along........yesterdays' news. I think I can detect this in your tone as well, however correct me if I'm wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Jack D Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 My financial contributions are cancelled until I know the details of Goodwillies Payoff at least. I may return to games once this is confirmed however I don't think I'll be paying into the supporters fund until I have faith in the decision makers on the board and in the management team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I can detect this in your tone as well, however correct me if I'm wrong.No, no wish to sweep this under the carpet from me. Lessons need to be learned and change needs to happen, but I also understand that in organisations like this, these type of changes cannot happen immediately. And I also know from experience that the thought processes of ‘management decisions’ should not be shared publicly until the decisions have been made. You cannot and should not keep everyone 100% in the loop all the time, not matter how much we as fans feel we may be entitled to it. I feel that having a go at Raith TV (or any volunteers) for returning when nobody knows what dialogue has taken place smacks of point scoring and faux-outrage. These people are providing a service which lots of people rely on and should not be criticised for helping fellow fans. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you honestly believe that the club are going to announce details of a payoff. No chance this will be agreed through solicitors etc. But you continue damaging the club by not contributing either through your payments or the turnstiles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I think I'm contributing to a rapists wages then I wont be buying anything. Simple. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. The club have confirmed that Goodwillie will never play for us. It's not as if the TV boys have just changed their mind on their view of the signing. Your criticism of them detracts from your rightful criticism of other elements of our club at the minute. It's starting to come across as a bit anti Rovers for the sake of it as opposed to proper outrage at the decision makers in the club that thought the signing of Goodwillie was acceptable. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 So what's changed at board/management level since they took their stance? I'll answer that. Nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
