We've seen it before when he's scored headers "Dick heads in from close range". As Hank says, he knows what he's doing. Not everything will be like this. There'll be plenty of changes online that will get made where folk might not realise or acknowledge because it'll be far more subtle. You weren't kidding, just looked at Twitter and that one tweet looks to have had more interaction than the last few weeks worth of tweets from the club combined. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly 5k likes mainly from EPL fanboy accounts? Well at least we can put ‘Dick’ and ‘exposure’ in a sentence that’s actually quite good. The more people that follow our social media accounts the better 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantene proV Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Quite happy about Dick being given another contract. A fairly dependable, utility defenceman who gives 100% and hardly gets injured? Yup. Who's to say he won't be more solid (hang fire, humourless Raith fans) with better centre halves beside him anyway? I can't remember him being directly responsible for too many goals, that Ayr game notwithstanding!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Starting to think Dicko got this new contract solely so the club could do #numbers. (I think the importance of online engagement outwith your own fanbase can be vastly overstated at times, but I think you've absolutely got to say fair play to Ruaridh Kilgour on this. Turns up with his "boost social media presence" CV and the club knocks out a viral tweet within a couple of days. Some boy.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Dick seems to take lowbrow digs at his surname pretty well going by how he reacted at Parkhead last season tbf. I'm happy with him signing an extension too. Fairly solid, if unspectacular player. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooz92 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 This is more like it Raith fans, we were all being too happy and jovial about the future. It's nice to see the thread back with a bang as people argue over a social media post by the team. Fantastic stuff! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it's not for everyone I'd be wary of lumping everyone into homogeneous groups and saying it might not be funny to women/families. 14 minutes ago, pantene proV said: Quite happy about Dick being given another contract.

Appreciate there’s a view that sees football as purely a bloke’s environment where sexualised humour is the norm and celebrated. Raith Rovers is never going to survive on that market. It needs women, families, the rest of the community. Hopefully the club understands this and doesn’t get distracted chasing likes from adolescents. Are they all Puritans? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.R.FC Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 A lot better than the last time we made it big on Twitter over the signing of someone with a phallic surname tbf. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tiel Burn Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) I get the clutching at pearls re the tweet, it made me realise something pretty obvious. Not every tweet, post article, interview is for everyone. Annoys me to think pleasing me isn't the clubs sole purpose but I will get through it. Kind of tweet only possible at amateur level or when you have someone on the board grabbing the thistle. Maybe those EPL fanboys might now say "oh, Raith Rovers with the Dick extension tweet" instead of something else. If the players not bothered then hey ho. Would add the expertise of the newest addition to the back room team looks too good to be true. No messing about so far.

Solid, dependable and rarely has a poor game but you want someone to keep him out the team to make us better?

Raith_Rasta Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 The usual suspects go be clutching their pearls, but I think Dicks new contract is great, he gives a vibe he’s a dude you want around the team and goes yaaas wi every goal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanStarko Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Close season really messes you up eh? No Rovers to watch so instead I've taken to watching the amount of views and likes go up and up and up on the Dick extension tweet instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
