Sweet Pete Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 How does one very small, very unstable football club attract such a large percentage of scum supporters from such a small fan base? Baffling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menzel Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Whether or not he should be employed by the club, or how rehabilitation works is a debate that hasn't been had on that thread; but rather there's been actual posters commenting on sex noises and if the woman was a 'slapper'. Some Clyde fans evidently think it's their duty to exonerate a player when actual experts or the accused themselves have not been able to do so. Ridiculous behaviour, and unfortunately this has changed the notion of Clyde fans on here from being seething messes about football to actual rape apologists.

Bert Raccoon Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Some absolutely shocking, yet not hugely surprising views held by some of the Clyde fans on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Thankfully the more prominent Clyde posters on here and on General Nonsense etc don’t seem too bad but holy c**t there are some utter bams on that Clyde thread. Had no idea there were so many twats in their support. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smpar Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 have you ever been to a Clyde match.... after just one season in the SPFL our eyes were certainly opened! I went a few times when we were both in the old Division One but were were never housed in the same stand as the home fans and I can’t say I’ve ever spoken to one in person. A different breed by the sounds of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Clyde fans are fun, early 00s they all had huge stauners about almost reaching the top flight and how their "dormant fanbase" would arise and they'd charge into the top half. A win over Celtic strengthened these delusions. Over a decade later and most still believe theyre some form of "sleeping giant" of the Scottish game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcat1990 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 The mask always slips. Had Gunther with his "Oh YAY I'M ACTUALLY REALLY PRO WOMEN HONEST!" thread on International Womens Day then comes out with the previously quoted shit. Grim as f**k.

ICTChris Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Would other fanbases be any different? If we signed Goodwillie in January and he shoots us to the Championship title I imagine some of our fans will come out with similar stuff, sadly.

We’ve had at least four players in recent(ish) times who have had charges hanging over them for violence towards women. It doesn’t seem to register as a problem for clubs.

I'm sure many football fans would be willing to turn a blind eye to a player's behaviour in this kind of scenario. It's the instant jumping to victim blaming in the case of so many Clyde fans in that thread that makes the difference. I don't doubt that, unfortunately, some fans of every club would indulge in similar stuff, but the proportion of Clyde fans on that thread who jumped straight to 'hoor' style arguments was frightening. While I could never find myself singing a player's name or actively cheering them in that scenario, I do have sympathy with the rehabilitation argument and there being no point in sacking players and stopping them ever being employed again - I don't see how anyone benefits if you chuck people with convictions on the dole in perpetuity. If people want to make an argument about these players still being entitled to play professional football then fine, but that can be done without attacking the victims of their crimes. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could guarantee that if Goodwillie had signed for another League 2 club then the same victim blaming rape apologists would have been frothing at the mouth saying how disgraceful it was that that club had signed him. The good thing about Clyde fans is that they are generally too busy fighting with each other about how to reclaim their spot in the upper echelons of Scottish football to pay other teams much attention. Hopefully Sir Stewart of Petrie can lead us to promotion purely to get the fu*k away from these clowns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Credit to the SFA. Someone browsing P&B in their offices must have noticed things were a bit quiet on the Championship Aggro front so issued yet another ban to a Falkirk player for conduct in a crappy cup game long, long ago. Falkirk fans not bothered by it of course (p2003 onwards).. In the last 4 meetings of the teams we've seen 9 red cards or subsequent bans for... L Martin M Hippolyte C Sibbald L Miller D Shiels J McKee K O'Hara D McManus K Higginbotham Keep up the good work everyone. Roll on 2nd January. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Dundee United fans were the trailblazers here for laughing at sexual assault. This is a very good point. "David Goodwillie, he does what he wants" was how it went, wasn't it? DABs getting off lightly here, imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was exactly how it went; it was indefensible and I cant think of any P&B Arabs who tried to defend it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
