ALL HÚNS 'n' TIMS ARE SCUM Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Unlike Raith fans to swallow any old crap that someone tells them. If the website is hosted in the USA, you can say what you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p&b is a disgrace Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Dysart - you really are an arse. All clubs are looking into doing this, because a rule change now means that the clubs are being held legally responsible for comments made on forums on any official website. Some of the comments recently could have had serious reprisals for the club, so the decision was mde to move to an Unoffical Forum. This was just common sense on the part of the club - and not any attempt to supress "free speach". Today, this new unofficial forum has been clsed down, and the following posted. 2711 Fan TalkThe administrators of this web site today received a message from one of the users of 2711 Fan Talk threatening legal action against Raith Rovers Football Club, specifically with regard to Fan Talk itself. After consulation with legal advisers, Fan Talk has been indefinitely withdrawn due to this. We regret this decision, but are unwilling to force Raith Rovers Football Club to endure legal proceedings regarding this forum. Again, this is is not the fault of the club - but rather a result of abuse by some of the forums users. You should be venting your fury at these users - not the club. Are you so backward that you cannot understand the difficult position that this minority of "fans" have subjected the club to? Do you feel that the club should hae continued to associate itself with these comments - and potentially end up with a court case and damages awards which would mean the end of the club you support?

If the website is hosted in the USA, you can say what you like. I think that the issue here was probably because the unofficial website was accessed via a link on the official website. It was in essence the same forum - onlt the word Unofficial had been added to the web pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p&b is a disgrace Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 I could suggest Stark`s park, but I have no intention of going there and giving £12 to that tosser Hutton. You clealry do not know anything about this man. Without him, its doubtful that you would have a team to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dysart Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Who the hell are you calling "backward"? And any criticism/abuse I`ve read recently has been aimed at Anelka. Is he the one who`s likely to sue the club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laid Back Maverick Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 I think that the issue here was probably because the unofficial website was accessed via a link on the official website. It was in essence the same forum - onlt the word Unofficial had been added to the web pages. Which is exactly what I pointed out on FanTalk. Liam PS. There is another post about this on the SPL forum - I posted it there by mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Just start a fully unofficial site away from the prying eyes of the club... problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he the one who`s likely to sue the club? I didn't see the comments that have lead to the withdrawal of the forum. However, there have been all sorts of allegations made recently against employees of the club, and board members. I reckon that the recent thread making allegations about the physio was enough to trigger legal action. I guarantee you that if the club had not taken this action, and a court case had resulted, you would be one of the first to criticise the Board for not taking the correct action. No matter what the club did - you would be critical of the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
