I will admit I wrongly thought it was a recent invention so thanks for educating me. I never heard it mentioned until a couple of years ago. I'm fairly certain football clubs in Scotland weren't acknowledging it 111 years ago or even 5 years ago so why the sudden need to now? I don't have an issue with it other than the fact it seems totally pointless. What I do have an issue with is people using this as another excuse to attack the club. Like I say we have more to worry about than some copy and paste message put on twitter to acknowledge a pointless day in the calendar. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, I rather think this will become an annual event from now on, much like Women's day. If only it weren't so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisely because society hasn't been paying enough attention to those issues, in the recent past. (And indeed, still.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more the unfortunate, and I’m assuming (now very) temporary Z badge in place of the Rovers badge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Had no idea International Womans Day had been on the go for the last 111 years. Wife never mentioned it so just let her crack on with the tea last night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Misogyny ok to joke about then? Would you make a racist joke? How about homophobic? If not, why not? Oh ffs. Sometimes the point of a joke is about the context, climate and environment, not the obvious subject. Settle doon. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s usually one of the old boys who gets this gig. At 50, I feel the odds are stacked against me. Plus, I’m clearly not in the clique as I didn’t know Paul Smith’s wife was the CEO. Anyway, I’m ruling myself out. Maybe it should be a woman. If only to make the other Board members squirm a bit. It’s Rovers though, no doubt it would come out in the wash that our heroine kills pets in her spare time or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd vote for you - maybe your platform could be installing a soft play area for kid's birthday parties at Starks? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new portacabin could be turned into a party venue. If anyone misbehaves they get turfed out and forced to watch the Rovers play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 In seriousness, it will be interesting to see if we get more nominations in light of recent events. In the past there has seemingly been little in the way of interest in the role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting her on the board and giving her a voice within the club is the sort of next steps in rehabilitation the club should be looking for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 We'll need to decide who we're voting for at the next clique meeting. Against The Machine should be able to pull a few strings to ensure we get our chosen candidate voted in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory the first few weren’t contested, but think there’s been a few contests the last few elections, including 4 folk vying for it at one point. Will be interesting to see who puts their name in the hat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
