'Not as bad as the Goodwillie case' isn't exactly much of a moral benchmark either... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made my point you have made your point I have made mine and we disagree that's it and I'm not defending him noone is. 2 wrongs don't make a right and comparing it to cases like thomson and goodwillie to make it not seem as serious is defending him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone on here wants to be vigilante we are supposed to be about rehabilitating people and looking after peoples mental health. Jordon Forster didn't seem bothered about his partner's mental health when he spent seven months harassing her, so forgive me for not being bothered about his. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing for and representing a club is a privilege and not a right, nobody is saying he should be ostracised from society but it's ultimately a position where you are somewhat of a role model and represent the club and to a lesser extent the sport. It's already a sport that is a very toxic and unwelcoming place for young women, imagine how much worse they feel when a club backs a player the day after he pleads guilty to abusing his partner. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are ridiculing him for abusing someone but you are abusing the guy it's a hit pot and kettle. The goodwillie case made international news a few faceless people on here isn't going to make a difference. I bet you wouldn't say it to his face "I bet you wouldn't say it to his face" - why? Are you suggesting that he might get violent? Again. I thought he had shown "Nothing but remorse" for his actions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only women he goes after anyway, so I'll be fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Not surprised that someone who looks like Andrew Tate turns out to be a complete c**t. Great start to Tranent FC's first season after their merger between the Juniors and Colts (youths, including girls)... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omnishambles Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) The longer that statement is left hanging there, the more backlash is piling up and the worse it looks. The club have a chance to own their massive f**k up on this and redeem a little bit of damage limitation, albeit with their tails massively between their legs. I think it's almost inevitable now if there's any sort of finger on the pulse there but ideally sooner rather than later. I think the general murmurs at first were that it's just a pile of moaning verbal shit-stirring from rival fans and people that never attend games. I hope whoever is casting an eye over the response from the club is well aware that people among their core support feel exactly the same way too (not that that should validate any concerns more than others anyway) - and it's worth drumming that home until something changes.

Unfortunately i think this is blinding the committee there and they have misjudged how much abuse they are going to take. But as it has apparently been passed at a AGM i think they would accept some abuse on social media to get out that league which is very poor 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best for club to act on it now and say it was a error in judgment and move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leomessi1984 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Bizarre how they have now made a U turn. They must have expected the backlash, if not then they should be nowhere near running a club. Maybe just chanced it hoping for minimal coverage? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
