Raith Against The Machine Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I mean, he stops short of saying "While I'm here, let me tell you what I think about the Irish..." but only just. What an utter, utter c**t. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 It's good to know that John wants to help victims of rape as well as their rapists. He just can't it seems. Wonder what's stopping him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 That is absolutely staggering. What a vile individual. He may as well have said "poor wee David is the victim in all this and anyone who forced us not to select him should be ashamed of themselves. My message to fans who haven't felt able to return is simple: we don't want you, we have nothing to apologise to you or anyone else for, f**k off and support someone else."

RiG Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I'm starting to think that Raith Raver is John Sim. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Surely all those volunteers who came back, will be re considering it? What a horrible, vile, b*****d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 So Sim essentially admits he doesn't understand why some people might not like a rapist playing for their club but that they should get over it already. Staggering idiocy that completely undoes the small steps made by Rovers trying to repair the damage done with this Goodwillie saga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanStarko Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Absolutely lost for words at that. To think we've been waiting for him to finally come out and say something, and when he does he manages to make things far worse than if he'd just continued to say f**k all. I've not been back to a game since we signed Goodwillie, but was finally at that point that I'd decided I'd head back and that I'd renew my season ticket for next season. But that interview has just pissed me off all over again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were absolutely miniscule steps tbf, no resignations, a half arsed apology from McGlynn and a challenge Cup win seemed suffice for Raith fans. They'll be outraged at this statement and then be over it in a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover the Moon Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Close the club because people had the temerity to be upset about signing a rapist? And this is the guy who his fanboys say has Rovers’ best interests at heart and wants to leave a legacy? Fucking disgrace of a man. He and the rest of his ‘yes’ men can get down to the Prom and keep walking into the sea. Sickening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our owner and his band of merry men have essentially said its their club come or don't. Even made a remark of shutting the club down as we couldnt play Goodwillie. Nothing we can do will change their minds. What we need is someone to buy him out but who has a spare 3-4m and more on top to run it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FBadgers Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 What an awful statement, what possessed him. Why would anyone say any of this nonsense on something like this. He cant be this stupid can he. His angle i guess about "well no one moaned until we signed him," is the one thing that still baffles me in this whole thing. I no some Clyde fans were unhappy at the time, but in general lets face it, he played for them for years and no one was bothered about calling this out. Where was their sponsors? the media then? The government? If there was anything it wasn't enough, and the fact there wasn't has given Sim and co an angle to pass the buck They are of course wrong and above doesnt excuse the signing, they are grown ups, fathers, humans etc, and should no better either way than appoint Goodwillie and then react in the way they did, and especially should no better than react this way in this article. But dont leave clyde and co and the past out of this, a lot to answer for there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an accurate summary, but you missed the bit where he attempts to hide behind the rest of the club's staff for a decision that he was fully behind: Quote “There were seven people involved in the decision-making process and I was the chairman,” he continues. “Could I have vetoed it? Yes. But you’ve got to back your people; the management team, the CEO and the people on the ground. Whatever people may think of me, I’m not a dictator.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sim wont be forced out hes shown before his stubbornness. McGlynn at least showed proper remorse for the whole situation and faced the media unlike Sim who has hid away until now and pretty much told the fans go support someone else and if you disagree I may even shut the doors.... -2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a club we are. Is it only wrong uns who get on and do well in life? It seems that way. For those disillusioned, angry fans who still feel unable to attend matches at Stark’s Park, Sim’s message is brusque. “I respect their judgement — and there are 41 other football teams,” he continues. There are 41 other clubs. Just away and support one of them. As easy as going to a different supermarket. This is why clubs should be fan run. If you don’t like it I’ll shut the club. What’s the difference between him and Colin McGowan? Have the Rovers really been reclaimed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
