parsforlife Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) Without going through every single back and forth situation seems to be, rovers engage in shitehousing all season long, Dundee United do it for one game, rovers whine like f**k. Barrowman has openly said they’ve given it out and need to be willing to take it when given back, why hasn’t that been shown in actions?

Because the shit housing we’ve done is a bit of winding up on social media. I expect when Barrowman stated we need to be willing to take it back he meant winding us up on social media also (like Livi did after they knocked us out the cup). Locking out fans who want to see the game while not releasing a transparent reason for it doesn’t feel like appropriate tit-for-tat for a video of a slide tackle. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Rovers fan like a sodden donkey jacket hung up over a radiator, dreep, dreep, dreep, add in the tears, then consider it from a Rovers cumulative perspective, surely enough to flood East End Park twice over (we love flooded pitches). -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacky Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I really wish this game was on telly tonight. I think it’ll be a battle royal between the two top teams in this league. There’s gonna be lots of action, lots of cairds, maybe even a sending off or two, the managers in each others faces, and who knows, maybe a game of football will break out at some point too? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minor point in comparison, but he also can't remember what division he was playing in when Ian Murray was his manager. Staying with his missing the obvious point about why the game isn't televised, the BBC's decision to basically become BBC Dundee United in April in the hope of televising the game where they win the title will have backfired horribly if Raith win this when they now can't pick any more Raith games after Inverness on the 19th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve read from a few sources that the BBC are saving the United vs Partick for the final day and can’t come back to Starks Park. (IIRC our home televised games were against both of those teams). This is has the knock on effect of us having to go to ICT on a Friday night (cheers for that!). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 9 hours ago, Tannadeechee said: Is it? Yes United could use it. They have told Raith Rovers the reason yet Barrowman says... *United have given us an explanation, after the event, which doesn’t really carry much weight, if I’m being honest. But it’s up to them if they want to make public that excuse, let’s call it." Quite telling that he is so enraged, so upset by it and so upset by the reason given yet he won't say what it is. He's not been shy in coming forward with any thing else so why keep that back? Is it because it wouldn't create the "rage" against United & the "their against us" feelings. Luigi Capuano states.. "We’ve spoken to all the relevant stakeholders involved trying to find solutions. There weren’t any. So we had to make a difficult operational decision to slightly reduce their allocation." So there has been some issues that have come up. Who are the relevant stakeholders? United, Raith, Council for H&S, Police, fans groups, who else? Having said that I too would like United to come out & give the reason and stop the nonsense stone dead. "it's up to them if they want to make public that excuse" - is basically the operational narrative that Luigi eventually came out with. Barrowman made his comments before Luigi came out with his. I don't think Barrowman/Rovers have been told anything other than what Luigi has said publically. If anything Barrowmans comments has probably pushed Luigi to come out and tell everyone the reason as by that point Utd weren't exactly being forthcoming with why the allocation had been reduced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh it’s a bit of a Godwin’s Law thing.

Wacky Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Just now, Derry Alli said: He was a known rapist and your club invited him to a dinner and your fans sung "he does what he wants" and "he shags who he wants". Pipe down, you fucking rocket. No club that took this guy in covered themselves in glory, but to sing songs like this is beyond disgusting. All this Arab r us idiot has done is to highlight some of his own club fans shame for hero worshipping this despicable man.
