foreverarover Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 What exactly would you like to see happen to Goodwillie? As we all know, he was found guilty in a civil court and has paid compensation to his victim as per the ruling. He also lost his right to play at the top level (despite clearly being more than capable of playing there, even now.) Since then he has worked hard and kept his head down. This isn't enough for many but I wonder what would be enough? What exactly do you wish to see happen for justice in your eyes to be done? Should he be banned from playing football ever again? From working in any capacity, whether that be as a tradesman or otherwise? At what point do people say, "ok that'll do."? I'm genuinely interested to know...He is not lauded by young fans, given the captains armband as club representative if he was working on a building site. There is nothing to stop him working (disclosure excepting) in any other workplace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You defend him. If you read my post i said i dont know the facts & neirher do you but you think you have the divinded right to berate him Why were you never on our thread when he played for 5 years and that applies to all non clyde supporters posts Take your witch hunt elsewhere -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodwillie should have every right to continue playing football. I've never disputed that. However, given the current situation, it's doing our club enormous damage re-signing him. It's simply not the same as before. I really don't see why others cannot see it. The cost is so much greater than the benefit. No there judging him not knowing the facts. HUGE difference Fed up reading this will affect sponsorship. Lets wait and see firsr eh -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_bully_wee Posted March 1, 2022 Author Share Posted March 1, 2022 10 minutes ago, shawfield shed boy said: Majority of Clyde Posters went every week during his previous spell and cheered his goals & not a whimper from you all - Two faced b*****ds For many of those so-called "two faced b*****ds", myself included, the reality is that there isn't much ideological opposition to David Goodwillie playing football. However, the opposition that this has been met with is the result of a variety of very new factors, including: Goodwillie's ultimately successful attempt to force a move away from the club he stated he was in love with and wanted to be at forever The manner in which Raith Rovers quickly became a near-unanimous figure of (inter)national attention and condemnation over his signing The intense financial, reputational and structural damage which the signing did to Raith Rovers - something Clyde were lucky to avoid for so long The fact is that a reasonable proportion of fans who maintained their support of the club throughout his first spell at the club did so in spite of Goodwillie's presence. Not every fan regarded him as a club legend and a personal hero like many do. What good would "whimpering" have done throughout those five years when absolutely nothing would've come of it, given his on-field importance and messianic status among parts of the support? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde01 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Majority of Clyde Posters went every week during his previous spell and cheered his goals & not a whimper from you all - Two faced b*****ds Posters from other clubs were never on our thread bar the odd troll & Only jumping on bandwagon because Val and FM comments after he signed for Raith -Media Darlings and overall sad b*****ds What i do know is DGW deserves a chance to have a career, job & life, Not hanging from a tree because of a witch hunt mob.. Seems its ok for someone to come out after a 20 year strech for someone who has commited murder and taken a life but not a footballer who was "allegeded" of a conviction because he is a sportsman..!! Plenty of you should be thinking of what your posting on a public forum and remeber like me you dont know the facts of the "alleged" offence Roll on Sat and back to talking about the fitbaThe facts are laid out in grim detail within the court documents and are easily available online.I’m fairly certain a murderer out after a 20 year stretch wouldn’t be getting a job at (most) football clubs. Particularly if they had shown no remorse.Most of the people you describe as two faced b*****ds are just struggling to see the sense in destroying the clubs reputation even further for a player we will be lucky to get another 2 years out of. The club is more important than a player.I think it’s you who should be thinking before posting but it’s about what I expected to be honest. We’ll soon be living your dream in a junior park in shettleston if NLC turf us out. Worth it I suppose? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Burton Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 That’s a daft comment. He worked with him for 4 seasons and described him as the best natural finisher he’s had. If the board authorised his return its highly unlikely the manager would say no.How's a daft comment? The board initially knocked back Raith Rovers offer.Goodwillie re-signing is being forced through by the sponsor. It does make you question what other decisions are being made by the sponsor rather than the board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) Would anything in the following see DG in a criminal court? Whilst I maintain my position that my actions that night were not criminal I have to accept that a civil court found against me. I therefore have to accept and, express regret, that my actions have caused serious harm to Ms Clair, and by my public silence on the matter for over 10 years coupled recent high profile events, all victims of sexual violence and coercion. I'm going to work with rape crisis to use my privileged position as professional footballer to educate other young men about rape,coercion and consent. Because that would be a start.

Knocked back as offer not good enough- normal stuff. I think this is a one off- although I agree it does create a precedent and the idea that the Board is weak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of compensation that was ordered to be paid was paid, however Clair never saw any of it due to the extent of the legal fees she had incurred. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
