Raith Against The Machine Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Incidentally, today would've been the perfect opportunity to release a *gasp* video or statement from *gasp* an actual person, addressing what's gone on and, in the spirit of International Women's Day, setting out what the club is going to do differently going forward. But instead, no, we've got vague notions that have been copied and pasted from somewhere else, with no specificity or ownership. It's the worst of bland bandwagon jumping that's all over Twitter today, and prior to that Rovers tweet the worst of the hypocrisy was coming from organisations with significant gender pay gaps (see @PayGapApp on twitter for more of that). But this is really something else. It pales in comparison with some of the utterly brutal actions taken in the name of the club recently, but it's another indicator, weeks down the line, that lessons aren't being learned. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Great that the club says absolutely nothing when it really is required something is said, but then will then rush out to say something because a lot of people are and immediately come across as crass and insincere. They're being rightly slaughtered for that. The correct answer, for once, was to say nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do nothing, you'd probably get a load of folk pointing out that the club hadn't put anything out. A tailored tweet rather than that generic one would've been at least a start to building some bridges there though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 It appears that also isn’t the standard one that the SPFL have been instructing clubs too put out, which looks like this… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are putting out the zero tolerance tweet, which is about ending violence against women. That clearly would've been even worse for us. But yeah...it's not good is it? Need to learn to stop digging. Edited March 8, 2022 by Michael W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to learn to stop digging. Yeah, just seen the zero tolerance one above. There's no way we could've used that. Still not good though, as you say.

Raith Against The Machine Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 The tweet is still up, and somewhat unsurprisingly given their entire ethos seems to just be pulling stuff off Twitter, the Fife Free Press are now running a story on the backlash. Just brilliant, brilliant work from the Rovers. Great football club, very well run, 10/10. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
