So why are you complaining about the signing? 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.

Or because pie and bovril forum is a toxic echo chamber.

Overall we've somehow ended up having a decent season (touch wood we don't collapse). We have a lot to be happy about at the moment. Do we want to get behind the team, Danny etc and who knows with a couple of good results, maybe push for a play off or do we want to sit around arguing about one signing? I'll be there backing every player in a Clyde shirt on Saturday and every game home and away. Let's focus on what we agree with at the club and not what we disagree on, FTJ.

OK then let's respect the boards decision and move on.

That's an even worse take, so it's not even the civil case you base it on, just the accusation then?

Then you should have called for an owners vote, but you didn't and now we're suppose to assume how many were or against it?

Couldn't be more wrong. Over 50 people alone on the owners forum voted for his return. Zero people in the Glasgow branch group on FB have said they are against it. Everyone I've spoke to are in favour. The minority is Pie & Bovril, not the fans at games still singing his name, not the owners forums and not GB.

"On balance of probability" yeah that's so much better isn't it.

Would you be happy with one of your family members having their entire life ruined based on nothing but probability? Wouldn't you want a jury of their peers to decide? Well that's what goodie wanted and didn't get.

Facts seem to upset you

What's funny is I suggested an official vote on the owners forum and twitter, interestingly it was only those who didn't want Goodie back that said it shouldn't be fans decision. Well they aren't saying that now.

I didn't miss it but it contradicts the taxi drivers account. "She's couldn't give consent" Yet she told the taxi driver she was fine to go in the house and wanted to go into the house.

You're getting angry at a fact? It's not my fault you don't understand the law. It's also not a minor detail, it's the basis for him being called a rapist and this whole circus. Yet they removed all protections given to those accused, which are in place to ensure people get a fair trial.

We've just let a sponsor decide who we buy. Owners voted on the forum and it was in favour of a return. The glasgow branch with 250 members were behind the sponsors push for a return. Danny lennon wanted his return. The players wanted his return. This was far more than just a sponsor.

I don't think you can blame any clyde player for wanting full time football and a better wage. Would refuse to take Mitchell back if he became available? The punishment is he isn't making nearly the same amount he would have been or playing at the level his ability deserves.

To be called a rapist you have to be found guilty by a jury of your peers in a criminal court, he wasn't. You can't be found guilty in a civil court you weapon. Maybe before having an opinion on something, try and understand the law. In civil court it basically comes down to 1 judge saying "meh probably happened", that's it. Not beyond believable doubt, not guilty, not a jury. So on nothing more than "meh probably" people are willing to ruin someone's life, he's also not the only person this has happened to. Another man who found "not proven" in a criminal court, only to have a civil court say he was liable. Well that's a great justice system, liable for something which is not proven.

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.

I don't think we're much of a club if a council is deciding who we should or shouldn't buy.

Just checking, should our landlord dictate our transfer policy?

At least that's a principled stand to take and while I might disagree with the reasoning I have respect for you standing by your decision. I have no respect for those who change their opinion on goodie depending on what's in the papers that week.

So you didn't celebrate Clyde's promotion which was massively helped by goodie? For the record I read the comments under negative posts such as Sturgeons. Yes there are two camps on this issue but to allow the media and politcians to dictate our transfer policy over the fans, owners and sponsors would have been cowardly.

Hypocrisy it is. I'd say from the comments around social media the majority of people are happy to let Goodie get on with his life, shame so called clyde fans can't. Will you still be attending games?

Did that happen after we sold him to raith?

The same people who celebrated his goals and said nothing for 5 years? Spare me the righteous indignation from hypocrites. I backed him for 5 years and I'm not going to stop because 1 sponsor and a couple of headlines.

Massive well done to the board for listening to the majority of fans and sponsors who backed this move to bring Goodie home. The easiest decision would have been to turn our backs on him but that's not the Clyde way. This man has saved our club and those who celebrated his goals but now cower in fear over headlines should hang their heads in shame. We got our legend back
