They kind of got away with it 4 years ago, but would get slaughtered for it now. I do feel, with hindsight as I wasn’t on their threads slating them for the last few years either, that Clyde have got off relatively easy here. I’m not even saying that people should be hammering Clyde now as a result but if you think about it they signed him, they played him and they made him their club captain I believe which surely would’ve meant more fan interaction etc than just your average player at the club. Again I’m not saying we should go back and now retrospectively hammer Clyde as a result but it is pretty incredible the reaction now compared to the last few years where I’m sure 90% of supporters of Premiership-League Two clubs knew Goodwillie was playing regularly for Clyde. You only need to look at Falkirk to see how close the gap is between some of the bigger Championship clubs and teams like Clyde. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RexTheCommander Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Sad day, disappointed in the Raith Board not standing by their 1st statement and let a minority of Raith fan who actually go to the game and the majority of everyone else jumping on the moral high ground. It was about a footballer, playing football. So we should now just roll over, as there are no 2nd chances in life. Board, players and some Raith Rovers fans still supported the footballing decision. -48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I disagree, the thousands of decent Raith Rovers fans do not deserve that tag, the majority of which condemned the appointment.The majority of Rovers fans on here have been excellent over this and are to be applauded.However, their Tuesday night attendance showed that the majority were actually okay with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Partick Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Apparently this is going to cost Rovers around £200k. Money they don't have and money they would have been as well flushing down the bog. Sim, McGlynn and the rest should do the decent thing and step down. No way to run a club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't about a "footballer playing football" you rape-apologist cretin, it was about a Manager and a BoD making a ridiculous and damaging decision to sign an unrepentant rapist. Would you have been greeting about "footballers playing football" had it been Craig Thomson? Also, there should no "2nd chances in life" for rapists who not only refuse to accept responsibility for their behaviour but compound this by crying about it resulting in them being able to afford a slightly less flashy car and a smaller mansion. Goodwillie is an utterly abhorrent individual, you are equally so for your cowardly backing of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Jack D Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 The first step of ensuring DG never wears the jersey means we can now focus on the financial and reputational (not mutually exclusive) damage caused to the club and who is accountable. 4 days ago we had a decent reputation, challenging at the right end of the league and looking forward to a £200k+ windfall from a tie at Celtic Park. All that now pissed away and the club set back years in it development as a real benefit to the local community. What we need now is a transparent and detailed account of this decision and all involved in executing it removed from their positions of power within the club. Then the hard work of restoring us to where we were on Sunday starts. What a self inflicted disaster! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peternapper Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Rovers should try and recoup their outlay by trying to get him out on loan abroad, Afghanistan or Saudi would be a good starting point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
