  1. The line up mentioned a few posts ago. Five at the back does not work with who we have. Go back to the closest version of the team at the start of the season and start playing again. I think McGlynn has lost the changing room in part due to mental tactics and folk out of position.
  2. Ultimately we rovers fans support the club regardless of who owns it or manages the team. People have their own line in the sand for going back or not. Realistically change will be a long time coming and a lot of compromise will be needed and expectations need to be managed. Other fans can put the boot in that's their perogative and we do deserve it. Their motivation for kicking the arse out of it is down to them. The raithtv guys stood up for whatbthey felt was right so that gives you an idea on their moral compass for those questioning the return to their unpaid roles.
  3. I think we'll win this, I can't explain why and it's against all kind of sense or reason but that's football.
  4. I'm interested in these conversations with volunteers to get them back, and who has told them to work it? For example will we have a programme again, are raith TV coming back?
  5. Before the season started I saw Berra as a wise old head, someone who would guide players through matches and do stuff on the training pitch. Not the absolute rock in our defence and probably one of our most valuable players. Next season he'll be a year older and we might need a serious rebuild of that defence. As a side note I wonder if Dick is the weak link in there because he doesn't have the attributes of tumilty or MacDonald last season and it makes it all lobsided?
  6. Perhaps tag were on an installment plan for the sponsorship.
  7. I'm sure the club are probably quite happy with him speaking to other clubs.
  8. Can he play as a wing back to give us some balance with tumilty?
  9. The autism thing is hardly the most outrageous comment to make. Neurodoversity is something the world is only really starting to recognise and explore now, there will be numerous generations never diagnosed because there was little to no understanding when they were in their formative years. We can all see that John is socially awkward with being interviewed and we've seen him react to criticism, its not a massive reach to say he is fixated on this sport. I don't believe for one second the poster is blaming this decision on John McGlynn being on the spectrum rather just raising a point as to why he may struggle at this time to fully comprehend everyone's reaction to to the signing.
  10. Absolute pisser about Langs injury, i wish the the big handsome b*****d well.
  11. This is exactly what would happen folk at either extreme of the argument then a sliding scale in between with everyone else. Forbwhat it's worth this is utter shite bag behaviour from the management of the club to send the manager and captain out to front this. There should have been boardroom representation or I don't know someone employed to run things on their behalf like a ceo? McGlynn is saying the right things in that awkward way he says them. I do believe this will have shaken him and I do partake in the opinion that he got caught up in this pursuit of promotion and probably a good bit of pressure from the board and himself as well. It was a monumental f**k up and he's trying to own his share of it. There are folk still calling for his head from our own support and many others but it's never that straight forward few things in life are and he should stay on until the summer when things can be looked at away from the intense scrutiny we have right now. The legalities have to dealt with appropriately and f**k me will they be sensitive to negotiate those as ultimately the club don't have a leg to stand on and lime it or not he is an employee who has done nothing wrong whilst under his employment with us. However what are we actually doing as an organisation to "build bridges" because unless I'm mistaken we still can't produce a programme or have raith TV for example and I doubt anyone who cancelled subscriptions or donations has started paying back in.
  12. Caley thistle and Kilmarnock are also both in free fall, as well as the bottom teams finding some form and Partick having about 5 games in hand. This b*****d league is wide open.
  13. I think getting tore into a portacabin because it might not be profitable enough is the least of our concerns.
  14. Currently without Sim the club is fucked because there us nobody who will take on the burden of a championship club as well as an ageing ground and all the debt that goes with it. Now copy and paste or not replying to folk that got in touch is decent behaviour, I would still expect a longer public interview but time is ticking on. From what is said Sim will be stepping back from chairman which is probably in line with most folks wishes. What this can't be is a shuffling of some good old boys for some other good old boys. I will echo what others have said that Val is not in this to run a football club she's got plenty better things to occupy her time and she doesn't look like she's a fan of blazers. That said I think she is someone who the club needs to give a bit of balance tell it like it is, she is respected and holds a bit of sway.
  15. Just as an aside from this what is the point of Sinton? I thought he was Sims man on the inside while he's overseas. Just on the ceo role again do we currently have a club secretary?
  16. How the f**k are we paying for a ceo. Yet rely on volunteers to do things such as, raith TV, run the shop, do the programme etc allnof which bring in revenue.
  17. I'd be surprised if we're not getting shit from the spfl over our handling of this as well. Ultimately its very bad publicity for Scottish football and change has been force by principled individuals rather than the industry.
  18. Celtic have a league to win they'll probably stop at half time 4-0 and a shite crowd.
  19. Faor point let's keep these to actual football. The other shite can clog up our own thread.
  20. The more that comes out of this the worse it gets for the board and potentially the CEO. As I've said I will reserve judgement until we know a lot more and it can be corroborated to an extent. It also makes the "we're just having a look at the contract" part of the statement even more ambiguous to me what was written into it? This is going to cost someone Sim/the club a lot of money.
  21. I think we'll get something Monday or Tuesday likely from John Sim and released through the club if anyone thats left can work a camera. McGlynn is not a cool composed character in front of the camera and that's only on raith TV never mind the national media. I expect there is some PR firm somewhere sifting through the wreckage as we speak.
