Welly boy Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 48 minutes ago, GordonD said: What else are they going to do? The transfer window is shut so if they refuse to play alongside him they don't play anywhere. Probably better to have said nothing at all, except that everybody would have read volumes into that. Do you really think if they had come out and said they won't play alongside him they would be sacked? The uproar would be even worse than the actual signing of the rapist. So yes they should have spoken out like every man and there dog did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather he also decided to rip up the contracts of JMc and Smudger for sanctioning this signing. I’ve also sent a message to Alex Penman via Facebook to help get rid of Sim Everyone involved in this signing should be removed from the club , Total disgrace 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 Very nice to have been out for the last 3 or 4 hours and not have 20+ new pages to read through. Saturday Sports Show was very good tonight, and enjoyed all contributors. A tough show show to chair but thought Grum did a cracking job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkiplier Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Obviously emotions are still very raw given what’s unfolded at the club this week, so I can understand that todays statement hasn’t done much to calm the fury of some fans. However I don’t think that sacking the manger is the answer. Nobody has done more for Raith Rovers over the last 20 years than John McGlynn, on or off the pitch. He turned us from a shambolic outfit rotting away in League 1 into a team challenging for promotion to the top tier. Twice. Even in the years he wasn’t employed by us, he was at every club event, fundraiser or testimonial he could manage. He was out in the community delivering supplies to the vulnerable during lockdown, and again at Christmas. He lives, sleeps and breathes this football club. He has dedicated his life to Raith Rovers and always given everything he could to try and bring us success. In signing Goodwillie, he has made a monumental error of judgement. Perhaps he thought that because the player had been at Clyde for 5 years without causing too much of a stir that this wouldn’t go down too badly and people would see it the same we he did, as a good signing who would score goals. I don’t believe for a second that McGlynn would have signed the player if he understood the hurt and the outrage that it would cause, that’s obviously extremely naive on his part and I’m sure in hindsight he deeply regrets ever even considering it. However it’s not up to me to make his excuses for him and it would be good to hear him come out and say as much in an interview before Saturday. The man is in our club’s hall of fame and there’s barely anyone more deserving of that status than him. I can’t control what other fans do but the thought of us hounding out one of our greatest ever managers over a mistake, even one as catastrophic as this one, is crazy. Cancel culture is rife in our society and people seem to believe that the only way to right a wrong is for a man to lose his livelihood and disappear from the public eye. I completely disagree with that and I think that if anyone has earned a chance to put this right it’s John McGlynn. All he was trying to do was all he has ever tried to do during both his spells in Kirkcaldy, and that is bring success to the football club we all love. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Briefly dipped into the 107 thing on twitter but was on my way to work. Will catch up with it at the weekend particularly interested on Margie Robertsons input. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irosshed and I was wrong Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 (edited) I think once we have a competent board in place and fundamental change happens at that level (i.e. the 4 dickheads f**k off) then I'd entrust them with investigating how this shambles came about and whether the management team are fit and proper to continue leading our side. We need sweeping changes in the boardroom and greater diversity of thought. Once we achieve that then further decisions can be made. We also need to rally round and instead of investing our money directly into the club be investing it to gain a greater share of decision making from a fan perspective.
