Even if we were, that should be the line. "No idea where this has come from, Scott Burns is a haver". Sorry Scott. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev23 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Someone mentioned declan Gallagher, at least he's sorted himself out, got a few Scotland caps. He's also shown genuine remorse. Goodwillie has shown fuckall. This simply cannot be allowed to happen.What has getting called up for the national team got to do with anything? Signing Goodwillie should be a firm no based on one thing and one thing only. You don’t know how much or little remorse he’s shown, him not getting called up for the national team after the incident means zero. Goodwillie probably has ‘sorted himself out’. He’s a full time electrician and coaches young players. However, he shouldn’t be signed. That’s it. You don’t need to compare to anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastie Russell Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 So this could be a Jurno checking P&B seeing Goodwillie’s name mentioned and running with it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tiel Burn Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Agent looking for activity, journalist looking for attention, club floating an idea, fans vent their spleen and the story is likely to move on. Given it would undermine community foundation and the women in prominent club positions including shirt sponsor it would be wild failure not to read the room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JagsCG Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 9 hours ago, Raith_Raver said: Moreover, footballers are not noted for their ethics or morality; the game is rotten with cheating, diving and conning referees and few players are above it. To say that we can't have players with Goodwillie's reputation associated with our club is blind hypocrisy. Those things aren’t remotely comparable to rape, and having players who do those things on a football field aren’t remotely comparable to signing & paying a wage to a rapist, - and if you seriously think otherwise you’re an utter cretin. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 Quite frustrating that this seems to come up fairly often without any real threat of actually happening. Drives the fan base apart and turns folk on one another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val McDermid on twitter saying she argued vehemently against it when she was on the board which demonstrates it was at least semi seriously considered previously.

Yea I’m the same, the heat we will receive if we sign this player will be severe, like you said I’d rather finish 7th if it means our credibility is intact. The fact the club are thinking about it is staggering. Im all for inclusion, but this is way way beyond the pale of acceptance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spot on Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 1 hour ago, RRPT said: Think Raith need to quickly come out and deny all speculation regarding Goodwillie (assuming it is just speculation); Raith likes to think of itself as a family-orientated, community club and signing the likes of Goodwillie, Gallacher et al contradicts that. You really think that the club should be responding officially to every rumour that appears on social media FFs get a grip 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 I see Val McDermid is on twitter saying she doesn’t want him running around with her name across his chest. I think it’s safe to say this won’t be happening. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 The Venn diagram of Rovers supporters who sing about opposition players being sex offenders, and who want us to sign an actual sex offender, is a circle. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydun Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I hope you guys don't sign him. Rovers imo, have a great image as a club and this would be completely tarnished if you signed this vile human. I hope he signs for Falkirk. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brashy's Boots Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 No fact checking done, the usual baseless posts done by the shallow.Oh wait - facts? You wouldn't recognise truth if it hit you between the eyes like a bolt of lightening. It's easy to identify your types - rattle your false values and the loud squaking immediately starts while the dots rain down. [emoji1]No spellchecking done. Pipe doon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not going to set the top half of the championship on fire. Seems like a lose:/lose signing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
