Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 See to be honest, I'm warming to the cheeky approach and probably wet my knickers a wee bit about it earlier on. Like I touched on above, I doubt the player will be bothered about it so no harm done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Two million views on a tweet announcing a new deal for a left back who everyone likes but acknowledges could probably be improved upon, you'll never sing that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offshore Rover Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 5 minutes ago, roverthemoon said: How much actual income does that bring in to Raith Rovers? Probably zero. Ach jog on. A tongue in cheek post that is showing us in a good light and you are complaining about and pulling the “ohhh look at me, I’m so mature. How dare someone make a funny post on social media” card. Over 3 million views on Twitter and you are complaining. Look at where we were last January with people commenting on social media from our signing back then. Honestly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FDL currently sponsor our posts, maybe someone bigger with more money will want to sponsor them next if we continue to gain a wider audience… more money from sponsors means more money for the playing budget, better players, more likely to get promoted. It all trickles down eventually. But no, not in your eyes, we just remain corporate like and never have banter. Great. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really think anyone will choose not to spend a single penny with Raith Rovers because of a bit of potty humour on Twitter? I get it’s not the type of humour that everyone likes but the level of outrage from a couple of fans is really not proportionate. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offshore Rover Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Just now, roverthemoon said: There’s been more than me criticising this even on this thread. So it garnered praise amongst adolescent fans of other clubs, but brought in nothing, but made a few genuine Rovers fans uncomfortable. This boy Ruaridh is a genius. You are clutching at straws here. Two people didn’t like it, over 3 million on Twitter have seen it and as far as I can see not one has made a negative remark. Quite the opposite. Even celebrities are joining in. What more do you want? We cannot pander to a few people who don’t like something . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FDL, for one, are absolutely chuffed to bits with it. @roverthemoon’s faux outrage strikes me as just that. Imagine being miserable about the club doing something (at literally no cost I might add) which has both given the us some extraordinary exposure and delighted a key sponsor… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
