If there is already something to this effect in the Heardle thread... sorry. It's probably old news that are loads of these springing up; the source code seems to be available in the 'info' section on each site, if you are inclined to make your own. That kind of thing is beyond me though.
If there are any replies with others I'll try to add them to this post here and there.

Not directly gig related, but I was in Berkeley studios last night with my band rehearsing and was pretty impressed to see that Nine Inch Nails were in at the time, preparing to rehearse for their gig at the O2 Academy tomorrow night...never seen a band with so much gear in all my life
Gig was really tremendous
Did you see the man himself dotting about?

The correct answer is surely a nice long train to Montrose with a big bag of cans

Correct.
I think the board are probably just trying to show transparency and that they are following a correct process. Adverts like that probably wouldn’t have been made public had we had faith in the board.
I don't remember seeing a vacancy for CEO before we appointed one.

Yeah I think it's spoken about because it's a really obvious match of out of contract, proven manager with a club that needs exactly what he's done before. It's an interesting test of just how farcical Falkirk these days, whether they're at least looking at it.

I think the fact the he managed to give this interview shows the level of influence anyone at the club has…
Or he’s surrounded by people who are too scared, or too beholden to him, to voice an opinion.
Kind of what I'm getting at, it might be easier for those people to stay very quiet - so any person or group with a platform who can challenge them to align with, or disown, Sim's position should really do so.
I'm sure we'd all want to know what the new chairman's position is.

There are a vocal minority of bitter, angry wee guys who think what they want is a club that doesn't care who it upsets or excludes. Same guys will be raging that all the folk who don't think that club is for them are no longer buying tickets, strips, or bringing their kids.
Yes there's a big sponsor for next season. Can you look any further than that? It's going to be severely diminishing returns if Sim's stance is allowed to define us as that wee angry guy club.

If the remaining people in the club with influence have its interests at heart, they need to demonstrate it by telling him what harm he is doing and that he needs to back away and keep his mouth shut.
I'd like to see the Trust take the lead and push the board into this as far as possible.

Who, at the football club now, can reliably make a good appointment if we change manager? On what basis?

52 minutes ago, dysartrovers said:1 hour ago, Ro Sham Bo said:Was that the game under Nicholl in the 90s? Possibly against Airdrie in the 2nd promotion season?
It think it was the Scottish cup quarter final game against them when we lost 4-1 in 94-95 season
Yeah and it emerged the guy came from Glenboig or Glenbogle or something, which as it turns out when you locate it on a map is, approximately, Airdrie

Can't really win though. If Sim pays for this or that, then if A) it's public, then we encourage big-man-dependency which is the ruin of any number of clubs, but if B) it's not announced, then those more cautiously minded will make negative assumptions about the club's liabilities.
While we're so far from sustainability we are going to need 'investment' ie gifts on a scale that itself discourages the fanbase from taking responsibility for the eventual sustainability.

It was quite bad but marginally better than not doing it at all. Wouldn't rush to re watch unlike the peak period (maybe about series 3-8?)

Ignore list getting pretty crowded off this whole episode

See if you read that Courier article again, it becomes more logical that no one has said anything yet.
It's inevitable that negative assumptions fill that void - so far by me as much as anyone and i am definitely winding that back somewhat - and this is just another consequence of the original mistake.
The televised game is likely to be awkward but I don't think there's any way around that now.

Too much corroboration is starting to emerge of the remaining board's lack of contrition and lack of concern about who they've alienated. Something carefully presented could still persuade the majority of people who are looking for justification to get back to normal but it's going to take something very good to seem sincere after the time that's passed. At this point I don't think I can be convinced they aren't just laughing up their sleeves.

Football is only part of what a football club is, but that's less apparent to people who aren't interested in it most of the time. It might seem like 'football itself is going through a moral dilemma' or whatever, but that's only a byproduct. What's really happening is Raith Rovers deciding what kind of football club it wants to be.
I don't think there will be any kind of change in what kind of person clubs will sign as players. The wider public hysteria logically always implies 'sponsors and customers should not stand for this - they should withhold their money' etc. This only has so much effect if you're a lower league, smaller budget club. I'm sure Goodwillies, Thomsons etc will always get another gig as long as they'll go to a low enough level for their ability to outweigh the outrage and its financial implications. Rovers were just the first club in a while daft enough to poke this with a stick and see. If DGW was an even better player or even 5 years younger who knows what would be playing out now.

This is the calibre of the folk we handed 150k+ in 2020 for absolutely no influence in return.
Never, ever again

It's a good kind of speculation anyway, because continuing silence only leaves us to assume that this is the sentiment amongst them - better that it's very clear to them that this is what they're saying by saying nothing.
For a good few hundred fans, they'll be proved right - changing habits will be too hard. But not everybody.

The New Raith Rovers Thread
in Scottish Championship General Chatter

There may well be a secondary issue with overseas players and work permits but there's a major reset of the footballer labour market in the UK this summer. Inflation affects footballers too, and given that most are on 1 or 2 year contracts, a huge proportion are reassessing what they are worth in GBP (with agents in their ears I assume). I don't think the Rovers put season ticket prices up so something has to give.
Players at our level are likely looking one level further down the English league than they would have a year ago, unless they're happy with a real terms pay cut - like the one you are currently enjoying, versus inflation.
We're not the only club in a poor state of readiness for the start of the league. Clubs will have to be very shrewd indeed to avoid some overall drop in quality or consistency. IMO.
