Shuggie_Murray7 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 f**k me. This thread has really shone a light on the number of folk, presumably males, who really don't give a f**k about the victims of sexual assault, and indeed downplay the actions of rapists. Depressing. Genuinely feel sorry for the good Raith fans here. I'd be absolutely fuming and would not return to watch the team play until the rapist was removed from my club. Hopefully the Rovers board see sense here and do the right thing, whatever it takes to cancel the deal. The damge that has been done to the relationship with supporters may be irreparable for a large section of the Rovers support you would have thought. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I’m looking for a new club to support and Saints are the nearest. May God have mercy upon my soul! The steak and chorizo pies are heavenly, and our ultras have a toy police siren which is fun to hear whenever an opposing player touches the ball. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Great to see people making a stand. Even better to see action taken and damage being done to the club financially. Val McDermid, I salute you (and all others who do so). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There just isn’t a scenario where this is “made right” and McGlynn and Smith stay. Could be looking for a new manager soon. As big a red letter day as there’s ever been for Raith Rovers. What do you think tbe outcome will be? I really can't see him being a rovers player for very long but as you say the damage to the manager and presumably the owner is long lasting. I don't think they imagined it being headline news on BBC Scotland but surely they saw the major sponsor would be pulling the plug. Just don't understand the decision making process here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammit Bawdeep Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Remember the rape alarms being set off at a UTD Aberdeen game and the whole beech end giving it "we know she said no, david goodwillie we know she said no" Filthy cretin on a man and unbelievably insensitive and disrespectful from the rape rovers board. No idea how they believed this one would pan out 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRFC1989 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Anybody know if the club are going to make a statement about this today? I seen last night that Alan Temple suggested there would be one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Player unrest in the dressing room now, the clubs going tits up(pardon the phrase) what a fucking mess all in a stupid quest to get to the gravy train, for what to come straight back down again ....................... this will cost the football club a lot more than what they're paying out on him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Long Suffering Bairn Posted February 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2022 I usually find that people who often use the words "woke" and "virtue signalling" as insults do so because they are deeply selfish, have little empathy, and have no virtue themselves. Mostly to them I say this: if you had experienced the horror of rape yourself, been utterly helpless to save yourself, you would have a different opinion. The fact that Mr Goodwillie might score a few goals for your team should not factor into the thought process of any decent human being. 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Musselburgh athletic ten minutes down the road are getting my money now. I also feel sorry for the very helpful people in the office at raith, who will now have to deal with umpteen angry season ticket holders looking for refunds. They should be given a direct number for whoever sanctioned this sorry fucking mess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
