Aufc Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 With Clyde apparently in turmoil behind the scenes I wonder if Goodwillie would be available. Yes I know many would be opposed, didn't like the man myself, but he is a proven goal scorer and if he started scoring regularly folk would soon forgetId rather get relegated that have a convicted rapist in the team. I am sure most airdrie fans woukd agree 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they compete like that on our cup visit we are in for a tough shift, as most of us would expect. Maybe the Winter break will set them back!

Not a chance though. How do we explain to the kids why are all the other people booing him. Not worth it if it stops any of our fans coming. Yes hes a very good striker but being left in the lower leagues is his own doing. If people forget so easy hed be playing at a higher level. Hes good enough to play for the likes of Hamilton, st mirren, ayr, alloa. Nobody wants anything to do him. Neither should we. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peternapper Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Word was a few weeks back that they would be looking to offload him & another high earner in Jan. As mentioned he is a good player but many supporters would not want him at their club rightly or wrongly. Was a mention of an Australian club the other week would have thought he might have got a start down in England but if staying at Clyde maybe a drop in wages would help out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulloch Gorum Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 There's no question that he's a good striker at this level, but he's not someone I would want at the club. Not worth it for the baggage he brings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The clean living guy Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Firstly I wouldn't welcome Goodwille at Airdrie but I can't help but notice plenty Airdrie fans accepted Alan Lithgow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a contender but at least you could never say he was boring. He'd either be comically superb or a comical disaster with nothing in between (and usually a disaster). Would trip over the ball with every touch he had four games in a row and then chip the keeper from outside the box in the fifth game. Box office.

Obviously need to concern ourselves with Clyde first, but that's a big plus, no having Gomis to contend with. Essentially their best player. That's good news. Gomis ran the show for them in the last game. Falkirk have some players who are tidy on the ball but who don't have any penetration and while Gomis was guilty of that too, he was by far their best player and the only one who looked capable of creating something. 2 hours ago, Aufc said: He would be a great signing but A) he wouldnt sign for us B) its not worth the baggage Goodwillie is obviously too good a player for this level and would obviously be a great signing on the park but f**k signing a convincted rapist no matter how good he is. Some things are more important FFS. However, we could definitely do with another striker. While we won 4-1 we saw how much we missed Gallagher at Cliftonhill. Smith is a cracking player but isn't going to score every week. Roy is still unconvincing. Carrick is on a brilliant run at the moment but he's never been a traditional goal scorer and regardless, we need more than two strikers we can rely upon to score whenever their on the park anyway. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think to maintain the push for promotion we do need a decent midfielder and a forward we are doing really well but could struggle certain players got injured... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyDD Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Regards Hearts, it will depend on how they approach it. They were the better side until their defender got injured and Celtic exploited it to get in and score before Hearts could make the change. They have a new manager and they have some dangerous, quality players. However, their best players will likely be on the way back from injury or just back from injury and because of the impending winter break they will still be mired in a relegation scrap, so they will potentially be less interested in the cup game. They might want to protect their injury prone players for the more important league games. Alternatively, they might see it as a great opportunity to give them some game time to ease them back in ahead of the rest of the league games. A decent showing is all we look for here, and if Hearts play a weakened side or don't take it seriously and we can take advantage, all the better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right about Hearts playing better, although looking at their fans blog they are not yet persuaded, and it all depends on how they approach it after the break. I suspect it might be like the Celtic game last season minus the later performance drop ,and it's not a priority for us either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that we're willing to take a chance on Crighton if we get promoted - something which neither Morton or Livingston did. On this season's form he does deserve it (though we still need to defend set pieces better!). Now announce Kurtis Roberts, Callum Smith and Leon McCann... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
