Popular Post Munter Posted February 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) Hard to know what to write. Just feel very sad and more than a little shocked that the management and ownership of our club has taken this frankly despicable decision. As a dad who has enjoyed taking his daughters to Rovers games over the years and who would like to continue to share the joy of football with his kids, there is no way I can do so with a clear conscience whilst we condone rape and assault by offering DG a contract. Someone who has shown zero remorse for his actions and continues to have a callous disregard for the impact of his actions on that poor girl. As with Greenwood I’m also sure it’s the tip of the iceberg. What do I tell my daughters? What kind of example is this setting? Have we traded our morals and hard earned community respect for a few extra goals and a slightly better chance at promotion? I’d rather another 10 years in the seaside leagues than this desperate and ill judged decision Until DG is fired into the sea and the board/management apologise for this shocking lack of judgement I won’t be back at Starks or supporting the club financially. A sad, sad day. Edited February 1, 2022 by Munter 39 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) Posted this back when the rumours were out - this is the case report from Goodwillie's trial. https://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/search-judgments/judgment?id=d22e28a7-8980-69d2-b500-ff0000d74aa7 If anyone wants to argue it was 'only' a civil trial and that this is somehow not that bad, please read the report. In my view, he is damn lucky he was never criminally charged. This is not someone I want playing for my club.

Poor form puts them off more than rapist players. It’ll really be quite interesting to see. It never harmed the Clyde attendances, there is a home game for Raith on Saturday too so it’ll be a good early indicator of the kind of impact it will have. I’m really not too sure what to expect in regards to numbers Edited February 1, 2022 by 1320Lichtie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when it's proven you still get shit like this in today's society. f**k. Me. I know, mind boggling isn't it "he didn't go out with the intention to rape anyone" but he did it anyway when the opportunity arose so that's ok? How the f**k can anyone's mind work like that? or, indeed, how can anyone defend it? If a person has a mind that can rape another human being, pre-meditated or not, then they shouldnt be trusted, ever. Imagine your daughter, sister etc being around guys like that, guys that will stick their dick in her given half a chance, any chance, sober or drunk, conscious or unconscious - to hell with consent. As an aside, my wife had her drink spiked on a night out when I was there, luckily we found her collapsed in the bar toilet. I shudder to think what could have happened if she'd managed to get out of the toilet and whisked away before we found her. I'm also 99% sure that it also, incredibly happened to me on a seperate occasion although I think it was intended for my female friend, so in a way it lucky it was me that took the drink. This rape culture and acceptance of rape culture has to stop. Edited February 1, 2022 by Tattie36 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you fancy cheaper football then Kirkcaldy & Dysart are unfortunately away to Tweedmouth on Saturday or their crowd might have been boosted...they are at home to Coldstream on the 12th though .. Lochgelly v Lochore and Dundonald v Tranent (could be a good game) are alternative fixtures near to the Lang Toon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 Last one before I go to bed, and likely last one for a long time. I am fucking shocked and beside myself at what’s happened tonight at Starks’ Park, and even more so at the actions of those who I trusted to keep the morals of the club in tact. Unsure how I’ll now spend my Saturday’s as yet, but it sure as shit won’t be in Kirkcaldy. Cheers. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he was a shit defence lawyer and a con-man c**t but your attempt at equivalence here is genuinely more pathetic than your usual sewer-dwelling output. Like I said, you're just a shite edgelord. Calm down flower. If only i could type slower so you could understand it. You can't shit on Raith fans for defending their club when you support arguably the least finally scrupulous club in Scottish football history. Giovanni Di Stefano was praising Mussolini and was known to be a business associate of Arkan when your club were in bed with him. I don't know how you balance your justification of this with being a virtue signalling little runt. -20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I’m morbidly fascinated at what this statement is going to be around the signing, and my first instinct is, it’ll make matters worse. How on earth do they attempt to placate people like myself around what they’ve done, I’m not sure it’s possible? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I vividly recall David Goodwillie's reaction after being lambasted by St Johnstone supporters during his last few months at United, in the midst of the rape allegations. He didn't respond in anger or by ignoring the 'rapist' taunts. He just turned towards the East Stand and smiled widely, almost as if he was proud of the situation or he deemed it to be hilarious. I found it quite weird and disturbing. I have my doubts about whether someone like that is ever capable of true change. His absence of remorse since then would further suggest this to be the case. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
