Seems a bit strange then that the first thing you'd do is shout "this is Dundee fans! this is a point scoring exercise!!" if that's the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 David Goodwillie was found to have probably raped a woman. Whether he did or not the idea that it's a topic for humour or point scoring should shame anyone who uses it as such. Singing a song that expresses indifference as to whether he did or not is disgusting and the people singing it should take a long hard look at themselves. It shouldn't have to take the "Would you let Goodie take your daughter out for drinks" analogy to get through to these morons but some people are conditioned not to develop empathy for other people and especially women. It was disgusting 10 years ago and it's even more disgusting now that the issues of consent and power dynamic in cases where there has been assumed consent have been all over the news. That said I've said and done some ridiculous things with a beer on me but I'm not convinced these people don't believe what they singing. Does that cover it @Dele ?? 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 @invergowrie arab, absolutely. Kudos for facing up to it and saying how you feel rather than placing blame and claiming a witch hunt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarto Mutiny Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 It seems odd to me that a paper has taken over a week to pick up on this story. Not sure why it's taken so long, but hey ho. Although the criminal case never went as far as trial, when reading the civil case judgement, it's almost impossible to come to any conclusion other than the one that David Goodwillie is a rapist. Reading it, neither him nor David Robertson come out of it well to say the least. Applauding him after what he has done frankly is not a good look, club dinner or not. As much as anyone can argue he should be a club legend for scoring the first goal in a cup final, it's impossible to look at anything he has done on the pitch without reflecting on what he did off it. Football fans like to defend their club, and I am no different, but some things cannot be defended. Once an anniversary dinner for the cup final winning team was arranged, the club were left with two choices: not invite Goodwillie and have a massive elephant in the room; and what they actually did. The first option would have been preferable. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PartyFears2 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I have one very small thing to add to this. ‘He does what he wants’ was a song months and months before the incident. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PartyFears2 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 We’re Dundee United, we do what we want, at first. Man Utd we’re doing it before..I’m sure ‘scores’ was doing the rounds too. Any road, it was ages before all this. But that upsets the narrative 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it? Genuine question as I do not recall it before that incident. I do recall the "Goodie,Goodie etc..." Chant but not that. It did however reach its peak popularity among fans after this incident and its singing from then on was absolutely cringe worthy and embarrassing. Irrespective of when it started, the continuation after the event was crass and wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Goodwillie is an arshole and anyone who sings/sang “he does what he wants” is also an arsehole. But we shouldn’t let a Funster shite wind up merchant get us tied up in knots on the subject. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dregs 83 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Some United fans on here must have been awfully bored when we were winning for all those months- not a fucking peep from them then, and certainly not any praise for Neilsons decision making. As for the lauding of Goodwillie by a considerable number of fans on Twitter- disgusting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
