Stainrod Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Signing Goodwillie makes no sense and I can't imagine this is anything other than a wind up that's grown arms and legs. Plenty of reasons for this (number 1 being he is a rapist) but strikers are not the problem atm, with Miller registering himself we now have Miller, McManus, McMillan, Sammon.... appreciate none of them are much good but Miller and McMillan will score occasionally if we continue the long ball obsession and Sammon/McManus are not terrible if balls are played to their feet. We need creativity and if M&M are going to be the answer its important they realise this and address t with whatever budget we have in January - not spunk it away on unnecessary rapists. If De Vita has been brought in to play wide right, we need someone wide left and another central midfield to link with the strikers & longridge. Its been said many times before but DKD would be ideal. That should do. **edited to add - forgot about Johnstone! Surely to God he's on his way**Sorry your wrong the strikers we have are nowhere near as deadly as goodwillie. He might just be the difference needed to get out of this league. Put aside your concerns about his criminal record we can’t afford to take the moral high ground If we did where would you draw the line. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some offences where the moral high ground is a lot higher than the normal high ground. Kiddie fiddling and sexual offences should be an automatic no no for any club in the SPFL. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R&Y99 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 We mainly played De Vita in the middle. Didn’t work out for him at us. Scored one great goal at Morton and one in the challenge cup. To be fair the majority of his appearances was during our worst spell. But he isn’t the same player he was at Livingston before his injury. However feel he would be decent at league 1 level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Goodwillie has scored 3 goals in the last 3 months. Struggling to understand why you're even interested in him tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh great! another one who should do a job at this level, we need guys who are embarrassed as the fans to be playing in the third tier and wants to use us to get a move to England or a mid ranking a SPL team. We have guys trying to eek out every bit of full time football money before the harsh reality of full time work hits. Miller is bringing in his pals, McCracken will want to sign one of his Herballife agents next! Shambolic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 It’s not a shambles of M&Ms making though. De Vita might solve a problem, and will almost certainly demote someone* from the starting line up and/or bench.*Unfortunately, no-one that would be in the top 3 “get rids”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does this line even mean , I read someone saying KK had also said it recently when asked about Goodwillie. (Must say this KK guy goes down in my estimation very time I hear anything new about him). Since when has it been a thing to not take a moral stance and do the decent thing - and what has it to do with money. Wasn't it not just last season they were calling us all racists, now it seems racists, along with rapists, will be welcomed as we can't afford not to. According to this Falkirk FC will consider any of the most despicable characters out there as long as they can play a bit and get us out this league. I'm hoping Rose West and the Jamie Bulger killers are no good at football. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummo Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) Would have thought you needed someone with a bit more potential for snagging high balls, given your preferred style of play. Also isn't he a bit past it? Edited January 2, 2020 by Brummo They made me do it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is a game - we're not debating whether or not Goodwilie should be allowed to perform life saving operations here. If we can't win promotion from league one then it won't be because we didn't sign Goodwillie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had the choice of either Ched Evans or Marcus Haber, Adam Johnson or Thomas Owen Evans and David Goodwillie or Dennon Lewis, I'd take Haber, Owen Evans and Lewis every time. We might be absolute shoite but at least we could keep our heads held high. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PipoIsABairn Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Don't think I can go to games if Goodwillie signs for us. It's one of those things that would simply call into question why I was going. To put it simply, I think the season ticket would be getting mailed back to the club with an explanation of precisely why I can no longer support them until he's binned. Tbh it would make me question my support of them full stop as I would find it difficult to be involved with an organisation that is okay employing rapists. Some things are bigger than football and this is one of them. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
