Good on Sam Stanton !! Great guy and one of our most talented and dedicated footballers. Hits back : " unfounded rumours re my partner and my character have gone too far ". Hope all true supporters will be singing " There's only one Sam Stanton" at SP on Saturday. Those behind the untrue rumours shouldn't turn up - ever.

Exactly franco
Unfortunately we live in a society where some spread rumours and post whatever the like on social media with no thought to the person/s it affects

I don't subscribe to any of the social media platforms (well, except WhatsApp and this one) but had heard the rumours in the stands, to the extent they were coming across as increasingly authoritative. Delighted for these to be scotched, and in such a forthright and challenging manner, too. Good on you, Sam

I don't do X as it's now known having cancelled my account quite some time ago. However, I did pick up on comments made on the "other channel" at the weekend about Sam and other malicious rumour about the club, players, staff etc. I was absolutely livid reading that toxic mix of ill informed, irresponsible innuendo. I would suggest that a good bit of it was in the realms of being libelous. The original poster took the offensive post down within the hour and admitted to being hasty and in the wrong. The damage was done by then, as every "ITK" had already piled in!
I'm so pleased to read that Sam has called this out but I wonder how much damage has been done regarding his desire and confidence to perform to the highest level that he's so capable of. I know that if it was me on the receiving end I'd be mightily sad and hurt. There are more than a few in our fanbase that need a reality check and a long hard look at themselves! If you read this please try to put this behind you Sam and give us all the pleasure of seeing you in action in the Rovers team for as long as you are contracted to.

Sadly Cuparman, it seems to be the way of the world these days.
Sad little Cowards who hide behind anonymity spewing out vile poisonous trash just to get something called a hit? This practice evades my understanding completely. These reptiles are totally oblivious to the havoc they leave in their wake, and the unfortunate outcome is usually pain and suffering for innocent people as Embow alludes to in his post. These beings would never deliver their misconstrued thoughts in person, no, these "brave little warriors" can only deliver their toxic malice behind some invisible identity hidden website. They then drop their pile of excrement and run away. Despicable actions of detestable people who are so thick, they cannot see how this might affect the performance of one of the star players in a team we all love, and they pretend to love.
Sam, I hope you do read this thread where all you will see is support for you and your family, and on a personal note, thanks for all your skilful efforts in a Rover's shirt. You are very much appreciated by all TRUE Rovers fans. None of whom would want to see you hurt in any way.

I echo HRβs post entirely. Sam you are very much a gifted and admired hard working player who we are very lucky to have in our team. I for one am hoping to cheer you on to the park on Saturday in Rovers blue. Keep yer pecker up fella!! All the best from real Rovers fans.

Embow, very good post, but I wonder if Sam reads Fantalkπ€ Hopefully,yes, but it does seem that he checks P & B ,so I wonder if you would consider re-posting on there? Just a thought ,which please feel free to ignore! I just hate it that Sam and his family ( and, no doubt, friends) have been upset by these trolls and idiots and ,also, that he might leave The Rovers because of it , when, in fact , all true Raith fans are behind him and desperate to see him continue, happily, as one of our top players.( examples being on this thread) I have never posted on the other channel myself ,as I dislike a percentage of the messages and tone, but I do scan it from time to time ,so I do know that you message on there.

Thank you for the comments, Franco, but I'm not posting anymore about this anywhere else, as it's only prolonging the issue and giving the malcontents in the fanbase more chances to go off on one! Let's see if these "sleeping dogs" will actually lie still and actually behave going forward from here.π€

Fair enough ,Embow, I take your point . Hopefully, Sam does read Fantalk and so is aware that we are all on his side.....If not, have to trust that waves of goodwill are being felt by him...and much more so on Saturday afternoon.

I have no idea what has been said or have any interest in finding out.
This is only forum or platform I use.
No player should need to come out and justify or deny anything in their home life.

Same as Bad Press! Can their admin not do something about those keyboard warriors? It's libel. I hope Sam gets them traced and gets a solicitor onto them!

Let's not pretend it's just on the likes of social media that this nonsense gets spouted. It was on the acclaimed Pie and Bovril that I read these ridiculous accusations. I've little doubt that Stanton will prove what a professional he is by yet again putting in a top notch performance against Livingston though perhaps don't expect him to be so enthusiastic in saluting the 'fans'.

It was indeed on P&B ( "the other channel" ) that I, too, read these accusations. Very much in agreement with your comments, castle, regarding Sam and the Livi game. A storming performance followed by a "bi-digital" salute βπ» would not go amiss if it were me! π«£π However, it's not me! Sam on the other hand will be much too classy for such nonsense, even if he feels like that this is what it all merits.π

Anyone on here who works for / with the club and knows Sam Stanton, could maybe make him aware of this thread and that the overwhelming majority of Raith fans are on his side.
