Let's stop arguing because there are far greater numbers of people who are talking sense and just a few roasters like you spouting shite every other post?
I hope there is a real stance against this from the decent Clyde fans and that this goes further than to just be brushed under the carpet.
Or because pie and bovril forum is a toxic echo chamber.

Overall we've somehow ended up having a decent season (touch wood we don't collapse). We have a lot to be happy about at the moment.
Do we want to get behind the team, Danny etc and who knows with a couple of good results, maybe push for a play off or do we want to sit around arguing about one signing?
I'll be there backing every player in a Clyde shirt on Saturday and every game home and away.
Let's focus on what we agree with at the club and not what we disagree on, FTJ.

The board had already turned down Raith Rovers offer to sign him back on loan so why would a vote be required?
The fans don't normally get a vote every time we sign a player so why should we on this occasion?OK then let's respect the boards decision and move on.

Just as a wee side note, no it isn’t. The basis for him being called a rapist is the rape which he
That's an even worse take, so it's not even the civil case you base it on, just the accusation then?

50 out of 400 owners is nowhere near a majority.
I'm on the Glasgow Branch Facebook page and there will be plenty others on it against it too.
Everyone I've spoken to is against it.Then you should have called for an owners vote, but you didn't and now we're suppose to assume how many were or against it?

So your post about the Glasgow Branch backed by 250 members is basically bollocks?
What's likely happened in reality is a dozen or so fans and the sponsor have pressurised the board into signing him.Couldn't be more wrong.
Over 50 people alone on the owners forum voted for his return. Zero people in the Glasgow branch group on FB have said they are against it. Everyone I've spoke to are in favour.
The minority is Pie & Bovril, not the fans at games still singing his name, not the owners forums and not GB.

It's facts is it? Can you quote me the bit where the judge said "meh you probably raped her, David"?
Or are you taking absolute shite in a bid to belittle a legal process because you just love defending rapists?
I'm going to go with the latter.
"On balance of probability" yeah that's so much better isn't it.

and you’d have the same opinion if it was one of your family he’d beasted into?
of course you would because they’d have deserved it
you are one sick human
Would you be happy with one of your family members having their entire life ruined based on nothing but probability? Wouldn't you want a jury of their peers to decide? Well that's what goodie wanted and didn't get.

The owners vote was a small majority of 100 votes.
How do you become a Glasgow Branch member and were they all consulated or are you just basing that on how many followers their Facebook page has?What's funny is I suggested an official vote on the owners forum and twitter, interestingly it was only those who didn't want Goodie back that said it shouldn't be fans decision. Well they aren't saying that now.

Weird coincidence that every Clyde fan defending their hero has managed to miss this post.I didn't miss it but it contradicts the taxi drivers account.
"She's couldn't give consent"
Yet she told the taxi driver she was fine to go in the house and wanted to go into the house.

In a thread full of complete morons, you're doing your best to be top dog.
"Can't be found guilty in a civil court" - that's a belter.You're getting angry at a fact? It's not my fault you don't understand the law.
It's also not a minor detail, it's the basis for him being called a rapist and this whole circus. Yet they removed all protections given to those accused, which are in place to ensure people get a fair trial.

We've just let a sponsor decide who we buy.
Owners voted on the forum and it was in favour of a return. The glasgow branch with 250 members were behind the sponsors push for a return. Danny lennon wanted his return. The players wanted his return. This was far more than just a sponsor.

Us not re-signing him is not him being punished for life for a crime he didn't commit. What a hill to die on. Honestly i've never known a fanbase to be so hostile to ex-players. He hands in a transfer request when we are in a relegation battle and all you lot are treating him like a hero and willing to have the club be the shame of the nation to get what? One and a half seasons of league 1 football that we would likely have anyway?
I don't think you can blame any clyde player for wanting full time football and a better wage. Would refuse to take Mitchell back if he became available?
The punishment is he isn't making nearly the same amount he would have been or playing at the level his ability deserves.

You disagree with a person not wanting to fund a rapist's wages? Interesting.
He was found guilty you complete weapon.To be called a rapist you have to be found guilty by a jury of your peers in a criminal court, he wasn't.
You can't be found guilty in a civil court you weapon. Maybe before having an opinion on something, try and understand the law.
In civil court it basically comes down to 1 judge saying "meh probably happened", that's it. Not beyond believable doubt, not guilty, not a jury.
So on nothing more than "meh probably" people are willing to ruin someone's life, he's also not the only person this has happened to.
Another man who found "not proven" in a criminal court, only to have a civil court say he was liable. Well that's a great justice system, liable for something which is not proven.

Quite a lot has changed actually and not just what is in the papers. Most despicably of all we now have a group who hero-worship and defend Goodwillie both on messageboards and at games. That is quite different to letting a guy play football for the worst team in Scotland (which at the time seemed like more humiliation and some small punishment for his actions).
What has also changed is a lot of people going back and seeing exactly what happened at the time and re-considering whether we should ever have signed him. Let's not forget this all came back in the media because he thought he could make a bit of money and didn't give a f**k what impact it would have on anyone else.
What has also happened is the realisation that the club is being run by people without a backbone who will let the club be shamed nationally under pressure from a few individuals.
Now you can pretend you are the one taking a principled stand if you are comfortable with all the above if you want but perfectly reasonable for others to view differently.
Metoo started in 2017 around the time we signed Goodie, it's not that much a difference to how it's viewed now.
Take Val Mcdermit out this equation and I think he would be playing at Raith.
Do we just punish someone who has never been found guilty for the rest of his life?
In defence of the board I wouldn't describe taking this decision as spineless, the easy option was to take the money and run. They were pushed into listening to fans and sponsors but they made the tough decision in the end.

I don’t think our transfer policy matters a great deal when you don’t have anywhere for them to play tbh
I don't think we're much of a club if a council is deciding who we should or shouldn't buy.

Just checking that you’re happy to host the games in your back garden when that sponsor kicks us to the curb?
Just checking, should our landlord dictate our transfer policy?

'So called Clyde fan' here. Said it a while back on the Raith thread I wouldn't know whether to go back if he returned. Stopped going when they first signed him but talked myself into going back this year. Was over the moon when he buggered off. Thought about it since yesterday & I'm off. WIsh Clyde all the best but I won't be giving them another penny.
At least that's a principled stand to take and while I might disagree with the reasoning I have respect for you standing by your decision.
I have no respect for those who change their opinion on goodie depending on what's in the papers that week.

If the majority of posts you’ve read are positive, you’ve only read what you want to read.
In terms of games, I’ve been to 2 this season and don’t see that changing in the near future.
So you didn't celebrate Clyde's promotion which was massively helped by goodie?
For the record I read the comments under negative posts such as Sturgeons. Yes there are two camps on this issue but to allow the media and politcians to dictate our transfer policy over the fans, owners and sponsors would have been cowardly.

Ignorance it is then.
Hypocrisy it is.
I'd say from the comments around social media the majority of people are happy to let Goodie get on with his life, shame so called clyde fans can't.
Will you still be attending games?

You shouldn't stop because of a sponsor and a couple of headlines. You should stop because he raped somebody.
Did that happen after we sold him to raith?

If you think people are worried just about headlines, you either don’t have an understanding of the full extent of the situation, or are so ignorant to it you don’t care.
A genuinely unbelievable post.
The same people who celebrated his goals and said nothing for 5 years?
Spare me the righteous indignation from hypocrites.
I backed him for 5 years and I'm not going to stop because 1 sponsor and a couple of headlines.

Massive well done to the board for listening to the majority of fans and sponsors who backed this move to bring Goodie home.
The easiest decision would have been to turn our backs on him but that's not the Clyde way.
This man has saved our club and those who celebrated his goals but now cower in fear over headlines should hang their heads in shame.
We got our legend back

So why are you complaining about the signing? The board made a decision based on what was best for the club and I think we can all move on now.
You can't tell people to back to board on one hand and then complain about their decision the next.
