Genuine question. The final sentence if the BBC article on Goodwillie's return to Clyde says that he contacted Clyde fans following the boards initial refusal to take him back. Is this the case? I haven't seen it mentioned yet on this thread. I had also wondered about this. I didn’t receive any letter so clearly wasn’t on DGW’s mailing list… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirvy Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Looking at your ‘partners’ (sponsors) how do we know which ones to boycott. Glens vodka is easy enough but macaroon bars? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully we are a club who don’t employ, and actually sack, players who are abusive to woman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyzer0 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 f**k me, there are some absolutely dubious as f**k posters - mainly Clyde, but I see a couple of other 'ach, we've all done a bit of the raping when we were laddies' morons chiming in - on this thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkness78 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Having witnessed the fallout following Goodwillie’s signing for Raith, it is mind boggling that Clyde thought it would be a good idea to take him back. All their Christmas had come at once by offloading him for a hefty transfer fee and wages freed up. It’s not as if results have dropped off since his departure. With or without Goodwillie they were never going to get promoted or relegated. Just seems a needless situation to get into. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde01 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Or because pie and bovril forum is a toxic echo chamber. I think you’ll find the Glasgow branch Facebook page or official forum to be much more akin to toxic echo chambers than pie and bovril.Hence the repeated calling out of those championing a rapist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen it mentioned yet on this thread. Read this as well and found it astounding. I imagine it was written in crayon for a start. Probably a direct plea to the singing his name, bring wur captain home brigade.Like everything else surrounding DG it smacks of caring only for himself and loaded with his own self interest, exactly as the judge described his character.Let’s be honest here if raith fans hadn’t kicked up a massive fuss at his signing he wouldn’t give a f**k about Clyde right now. He wants to turn the clock back and come crawling back with his tail between his legs now and c***s are lapping it up like a returning hero. It’s sickening. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board made a decision based on what was best for the club and I think we can all move on now. You can't tell people to back to board on one hand and then complain about their decision the next. Did the board make the decision based on what is best for the club or were they put under pressure by a particular sponsor to re-sign his favourite player? We're the one club in the whole world with sponsors that threaten to remove sponsorship if we DIDN'T sign Goodwillie. Absolute nuts.

Bully Wee Clyde FC Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) So to clarify...we now have a player that wanted to leave 5 weeks ago, appointed by a board that voted last week, against taking him back. Wonkers on here and OS claiming because they have loud voices they must be right. Putinesk claiming there is no backlash. Also claiming a letter was sent in demanding an EGM. Our board shat it. I hope these c***s will dig deep into their pockets if our shitty board have misjudged this... Not all Clyde fans back this stupidity.

San Starko Rover Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) 6 hours ago, BullyWee Craig said: Metoo started in 2017 around the time we signed Goodie, it's not that much a difference to how it's viewed now. Take Val Mcdermit out this equation and I think he would be playing at Raith. Do we just punish someone who has never been found guilty for the rest of his life? In defence of the board I wouldn't describe taking this decision as spineless, the easy option was to take the money and run. They were pushed into listening to fans and sponsors but they made the tough decision in the end. Well you’d be wrong, our board were well aware Val would go nuclear as she made it clear publicly in December when the rumours started. Contrary to how the media portrayed it, it wasn’t Val McDermid or the other Sponsors who forced the U-Turn on David Goodwillie playing for Raith although I’m sure they contributed. It was the Staff and volunteers who walked out in their droves that forced it. Raith Would have struggling to meet future fixtures as everyone from the Fans Board member to the TV team resigned and walked out in protest.

HeWhoWalksBehindTheRows Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Some of the absolute vile c***s on this thread should really take a long hard look at themselves. To think people still hold views like this nowadays is fucking disgusting behavior.

O'Kelly Isley III Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 The thing I find quite odd about this is that during the furore that engulfed Raith there was (to my knowledge) very little comment or criticism directed at Clyde FC over the fact that David Goodwillie had been playing for them over quite a few seasons. It seemed that all of the collateral damage had landed in Kirkcaldy. With that in mind who in the name of God thought it was a good idea to invite this walking publicity grenade back to Broadwood ? I had imagined that Goodwillie would have had to bugger off to Cyprus or Mexico or wherever, and I can well understand the bewildered anger of many Clyde fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can when they’re a fucking mile out and harming the club. It’s not one or the other with regards to backing them. If they do well they deserve praise and if they make an arse of it they should be criticised, just like the players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
