Hello everyone, I’ve never posted on here before but have frequently visited the site over the last 6 months and view a lot of Rovers content on Twitter and Facebook.
The signing of David Goodwillie circulated every couple of transfer windows and was always laughed off as something that cannot and will not happen. Today that has clearly changed.
The signing of a convicted rapist isn't something a community club, a lower league club, a junior club or even a pub team would ever silly themselves with. We have done that.
This one has hit me quite bad in particular. As a close friend of a rape victim, that I stayed up with talking and trying to help, in any way possible with the trauma they have had after that night and has had since that they still deal with, makes me feel nauseous.
How can we have done this? The Rovers have had a strong community spirit until tonight, all gone for what? The slim possibility of promotion? It’s a ridiculous thing to have done. I’ve always looked at John McGlynn as a good, football man, who always seems to build a good dressing room. How can he let this happen?
I’ll be at Stark’s tomorrow with my old Granda, and I can’t see a time that I’ll be back, and it really fucking hurts thinking that, never mind saying it. As a supporter of the club that I’ve supported all my life, this is just..
