Glasgow United, you know who, and GCC

Bit of irony coming from your "part-time lawyers" comment, you clearly fancy your chances.

DG & DR both claimed to be taking the woman to different places. One instance, they claimed it was to her mother's. Another instance, it was to her home. It's abundantly clear she was not in control of where she was going.

They got her drunk off of her head so she didn't have a clue, and in turn, they could rape her.

The court case involved 20 witnesses, and the woman's memory pretty much begins the next morning, in a house she didn't recognise, in a town she hadn't been in for a year, with pain around the vagina and thighs.

DNA samples were taken, and a friend of the victim was able to identify the David's (or at least one of them), and they were seen on CCTV between bars/clubs. Even by the victim's own admission, she was drunk out of her mind.

There is absolutely no chance on the earth that she wasn't raped. To sit and say "oh but it wasn't in a criminal court", to be incredibly blunt, is moronic and downright disgusting.

Thank you.

PS: To anyone who has a similar view of the case to the quoted poster, read the f**king court's judgement. https://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/search-judgments/judgment?id=d22e28a7-8980-69d2-b500-ff0000d74aa7

I presume the guys at Glasgow United are more knowledgeable of the case and evidence put forward than the Supreme Court judge, Lord Armstrong and his finding that was "cogent, persuasive and compelling".

Glasgow, far prefer DGs "staunch" stance. Lord Armstrong obviously has no idea what he is talking about.

More knowledgeable?

It's an old Junior team that has changed it's name and ended up playing in a public park on the wrong side of the railway tracks and oh, they have zero support.

They ain't Digby Brown.

Who is on charge of this club and their weird aggressive statements? 

[sophia]

I must say, the effort to stay in character for these pieces of p&b performance art, delivered over an extended period of time, is something to be admired.

He's undoubtedly an absolute dafty but that's uncalled for.

Indeed.

F*d would be more accurate.

I genuinely believe that some folk on this thread are genuine simpletons who should not be allowed an opinion or be allowed near the Internet. The level of thickness and unwillingness to grasp the fact that he was JUDGED TO BE A RAPIST BY A JUDGE is utterly astounding. See also the levels of whataboutery. Going on about martindale for instance. The guy has shown genuine remorse, held his hands up, done his time and has done something with his life in his role at livi. Has goodwillie done any of that?? Has he f**k.  Civil court or not, mud still sticks. 

[F_T_Y]

Alright, the martindale comment was daft on my part  but having to pay 100k to lawyers is the punishment he was given, apart from a public flogging like some on here would like to see what else can be done legally.

The league has no power to tell teams who can play for them, that is the crux of the matter and relevant to the OP.

@Pareidolia Can I suggest you end this topic my friend. 

The lunatics have taken over the asylum.

That's a decision for mods, imo, than me. Its toxic but maybe necessary for some collective education on the state of play of supporters in lower level leagues when it comes to sporting situations of public interest.

Unfortunately if there's something I'm learning, and admittedly I did fear, is individuals who literally describe themselves by their team (and de facto representing them) has the same worrying attitudes to this whole debacle. As someone who has plans to support KRR once they return to Kirky, who has had longstanding concerns about inclusivity/equality/diversity in lower level leagues, this is putting me off putting my hand into my pocket for the team when its "representatives" have such attitudes that I know I will be more exposed to in small crowds than having the relative anonymity of a 50000 stadium.

The silence from WoSFL (and looking at the committee - not exactly a diverse bunch of people), doesn't help. Maybe they have the same opinions as some of the contributors here? It's not completely out of the question if supporters here have similar views.

Might as well stick to my "big" team which also has plenty concerning attitudes but is somewhat diluted by the cooperate and mainstream aspects of supporting a team with greater ambitions than being community-focussed, and at least have (albeit niche and half-heartedly) attempted to address some of the issues being raised in this thread.

Hey ho.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion on here for sure however for someone to call the kirkyrobroyguy or whatever ever he's called a ' beast ' is quite fucking disgusting for me by the way..

Hey ho.

I know I said I was finished. But want to thank you for shining a light on 21st century Scottish maledom (yes I know what maledom is).

Still a place where women should know their place and be thankful for it, a place where it only became unlawful to force your partner to have sex with you 50 odd years ago.

Proud indeed.

This is going swimmingly, I see. If all the rape apologists could explain their views to all their family and colleagues, that would be great. No doubt some will agree, but at least the rest will know never to let their guard down when they have to be around you.

As for the footballing rapist, the Saudis appear to be throwing money at has-beens from all over the globe, so that seems a perfect solution. Wouldn't advise committing any more rapes while you're there, though.

What on earth is that first paragraph btw

Isn't there a mod somewhere that can shut this fucking awful thread down??

One man band.

One man had he not been around then probably Shettleston would have went the same way as Baillieston Juniors.

People should be free to discuss what should be done to this club and how the WoSFL and GCC should react.

It would be worrying though, in a world where rape apology wouldn't dare be vocalised in front of family and colleagues that the mods allowed such fringe views a safe space to be platformed here.

I agree. We've had various roasters on here trotting out all the same old tropes defending the rapist. Minimising the rape, saying "oh they were all drunk so who really knows" and the like. 

Mods, if you are monitoring this, you really dont want this site associated with views like this, or known as a safe haven for the rape supporters. 

Not rape apologists. Rape supporters.

I'm trying to look at this case objectively , why was goodwillie allowed to play with and captain clyde for 5 years without any fuss and then why was it a huge problem when he tried to move to raith Rovers ?  The ladies club at clyde no doubt never objected to him being a figurehead of the club nor did clyde fc

I'm in no way condoning the past that the guy has but I feel people won't be happy until the guy is found hanging from a tree ( just my opinion by the way before I'm pounced on)
