bullywee2010 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) Was this not when we were still chasing the league and Goodwillie captain? Tbh, I didn't have a clue we had a woman's team although I suspect that is more due to the club being useless at advertising the men's team in the local area over the last few years never mind the woman's team. Were they a foundation team rather than being under the club directly similar to how the u21's are? Not meant to undermine them just genuinely curious.

This is the first I've heard we even had a ladies team, must've been through the foundation rather than the club directly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haufdaft Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I have no problem with the Ladies Team being unhappy with Goodwillie return. I admire their stance as I do with anyone that makes a moral stand on this issue (except John Mason)Am I wrong though, to believe the team was formed whilst Goodwillie was already Clyde player? Perhaps they formed before that and I only became aware of their existence recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Clown Job Posted March 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2022 One thing I’ve taken away from all this, I think I can understand why victims of sexual assault are very reluctant to speak up They’re either branded a liar or a slut The number of people willing to back DGW is frightening. 27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinically Proven Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 When did football clubs become judge and jury on people's character? The lynch mob are the same people who go on and on about mental health. What if the end result was that he killed himself because of the pile on? Bunch of fucking hypocrites. -18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Choosing to take a stand against something you previously put up with is not a moral failing. There's a multitude of reasons that can mean people don't feel empowered enough to make a protest. Well done to the players and staff of Clyde Ladies FC for making their feelings known. They've nothing to gain by doing so. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another rape apologist appears. To answer your question, nope, I wouldn't give a single solitary f**k if an unrepentant rapist topped himself. You can f**k off now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLClyde Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Goodwillie banned from broadwood and the council not renewing the lease in May 2023. Well done Clyde. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Job Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) North Lanarkshire Council has informed Clyde FC that David Goodwillie must not be permitted access to their stadium in Cumbernauld. The local authority, which directly owns Broadwood Stadium, had been conducting a review of all its commercial partnership arrangements with Clyde following the club’s decision to bring back Goodwillie on loan from Raith Rovers. Goodwillie, 32, was found by a judge in a civil case in 2017 to have raped a woman. In a statement released on Thursday, North Lanarkshire Council said: “We have informed the club that David Goodwillie must not be permitted access to the stadium, for any purpose, with immediate effect. “Should Mr Goodwillie enter the stadium, we will consider the contract to have been breached and we will take immediate steps to terminate it. “In addition, we have informed Clyde FC that the council intends not to renew the lease with the club when the contract for the use of Broadwood Stadium expires in May, 2023. “The council utterly condemns all and any violence towards, or abuse of, women. We offer a range of services to support women who experience abuse, through Rape Crisis Lanarkshire and Aura, and we would urge anyone in this position to make contact. “The council believes in rehabilitation, and has services which provide this. However, Mr Goodwillie has not expressed any contrition in relation to the rape which the court found he had committed in the civil action against him. In re-signing Mr Goodwillie, Clyde FC has not acknowledged that background or community concerns, instead choosing to focus on enabling Mr Goodwillie to play football. “We regret that this action is necessary. However, the council has a responsibility to the wider community to act, and to send a clear signal that abuse must not be tolerated. “We also note that some people have questioned why the council is only taking action now given that Mr Goodwillie has played for Clyde for a number of years. “For clarity, the stadium was previously under the control of North Lanarkshire Leisure Ltd which, while previously paid by the council for management of a range of services and facilities, is a separate legal entity. The council was unable to direct the company in relation to this matter. The stadium, and all the services of the company, have reverted to direct council control.” Edited March 3, 2022 by Clown Job 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
