Why are Rangers trying to be our rivals? It's not 1882 anymore lads. 

What an absolute embarrassment.

Not justifying the tackle in any way but Apparently Lowry was being a dick towards Callum Wilson all game and looks like Ally Love has let him have one. 

Fans dishing out death threats is out of order and sums up the fans of their club. 

First I’ve heard this.  How was he being a dick to Callum Wilson?

Joe McKee could well be the best deliverer of a dead ball in the division but the frustrating and unfortunate truth is that he both hasn’t done it often enough for us this season (as many players haven’t delivered what they should) but he’s offered precious little other than set-pieces, so he’s deservedly seen his action limited.

He’d need to improve what he brings to the team from open play quite considerably before he gets a recall to the first team.

I think the point is that means noone accused of rape should be allowed in at all to any North Lanarkshire facility. It is ridiculous.

What I find odd is yes on here it's massive vigilante campaign on here. On Facebook the ladies team were heavily criticised and what surprised me it's by women. It was a women I saw on Facebook who said they won't be happy until goodwillies in a box. Enough is enough for me. 

@yessiricanboogieadding his name to the sadly already sizeable list of Clyde supporting rape-apologists here.

I can’t speak on behalf of NLC but I’d imagine it might have less to do with not wanting someone ‘accused’ of rape in their stadium, and a whole lot more to do with them not wanting someone found to be (on several occasions including appeals) a rapist in their stadium. An unrepentant rapist at that. And a rapist who is in the public eye and who would be higher profile than that of Joe Public.  This whole ‘accused’ stance is utterly disgusting.  There’s a poor female who’s life has been ruined because of the rapist.  And yet some would try and have you believe Goodwillie and Clyde are the ones hard done by?! Unbelievable.

Of all the bad guys here, NLC don’t come close to being one of them. Their stance is admirable and should be applauded.  On the other hand imagine being someone who’s happy to slate a company/council body for not wanting anything to do with an unrepentant rapist.
 

Shameful behaviour and unfortunately this particular specimen isn’t alone, as several other pond-dwelling Clyde supporters have also outed themselves as utter rape-apologists in this sorry saga.

I’m in utter disbelief that people are actually challenging the stance of NLC in all of this.  Yes, the rapist had previously been permitted within Broadwood, but he left.  And him last being ‘allowed in’ to Broadwood was five years ago. Things change. Times change. He’s now not welcome. Why can people not understand that?

And suggesting a tier system or that other players of other clubs not be allowed in as well regarding some of their criminal offences?  Embarrassing.  I don’t think any other player who may require to enter Broadwood has been found to be a rapist!

Unsavoury characters I’m sure. Criminal records, aye, bound to be. But none of them RAPISTS!

There’s several ‘bad guys’ in all of this.  Obviously none more so than the unrepentant rapist himself.  But NLC certainly aren’t one of them.  And shameful whatabouttery for any of the, disgustingly many, rape apologists on here, to suggest they are.

Please excuse my possible ignorance here but who/what is this ‘Glasgow Branch’ that are coming in for a lot of flak here?  Are they the sponsors who it’s being suggested pressured the BoD into re-signing the rapist?

[Clyde FC; Season 2022-23]

I’m a long-term lurker here but haven’t posted before.  However the horrific events of the last week or so have made me feel compelled to voice my thoughts on the matter.

Some of the stuff being trotted out by some Clyde ‘fans’ on here in the aftermath of Goodwillie returning is nothing short of rancid.  Fair play to the decent, normal Clyde fans who have vowed to vote with their feet in the wake of the decision made by their board, or at least who are, as normal humans would be, disgusted by their club’s decision to re-sign a rapist.

And to those shamefully deflecting and defending him because the case hasn’t been heard in a criminal court, you should be utterly ashamed.  A court is a court (nothwithstanding the different onus’ of proof) and Goodwillie has been ruled a rapist.  There is no denying that. And those trying to do so have outed themselves as utterly vile individuals. Goodwillie is a rapist. End of.

I also can’t believe that I’ve been reading some folk suggesting that because he has been at the club before there’s nothing wrong in him returning. Clyde outed themselves as a rancid club when they made the decision to sign him 5 years ago. He is a rapist. They signed a rapist. They sold a rapist. They then re-signed a rapist.  Absolutely disgusting.

And to those asking ‘what would it take for it to be ok for him to get a gig at a football club’, for the avoidance of doubt for the normal, moral, rational people on here and in society: nothing. Absolutely nothing.

He has been ruled to be a rapist. That should have meant he didn’t kick a ball at a meaningful level ever again.  He shouldn’t be in a position where he’s either on a pedestal (in the eyes of kids, kids idolise footballers) or in the public eye in any way.  Playing football in League One undoubtedly defies both of those points.

So to any Clyde fans who feels anything but disgust towards their BoD and more so Goodwillie, who feels a minute bit of sympathy for Goodwillie and who doesn’t feel their club have made a colossal error in signing Goodwillie in the first place and more so for re-signing him, you’re nothing but a rape apologist.  A completely abhorrent hill to die on and each one of you is a disgrace.  

To the decent Clyde fans, whatever percentage that is (it’s impossible to tell how big that section actually is from on this forum) who are rightly disgusted by all of this, I feel for you. I really do.  Your club is vile, from the top through, you appear to have a section of supporters who welcome a rapist into the club not once but twice, and as a result, your club is rotten to the core.  I hope the good ‘un’s can fight against this and stand up and be counted, but sadly the name of your club is tarred, and won’t be seen in a favourable light by Scottish football and the wider society for some time.
