I’m out if we sign that disgusting rapist. I’m actually not convinced that’s the case, using social media or online forums as a guide isn’t a fair reflection. Most people /other fans I’ve chatted to tend to be open to the idea (to an extent)but wouldn’t put it out there to be shot down in an online platform. Im actually very on the fence with it as I can see the arguments both for and against, does a ex criminal post conviction/sentence deserve to be punished for the rest of his or her life indefinitely and actively prohibited from earning a living / contributing to society in some way? On the other hand the nature of said crime in this case is so disgusting you also can’t blame people for holding a long term grudge or not wanting to be associated to an individual with Goodwillies past. I’d like to know if Clyde for example actually took any hit in season ticket sales or overall gates after singing him, was there a genuine majority of fans so outraged they refused to go back or in reality was it more likely a very small percentage who no doubt loudly voiced they’re opposition on online platforms such as this?

Russ Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 If you’re genuinely willing to actively cheer for and support a rapist just because the football team you support might score some goals and win some games then there’s something severely wrong with you. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m out if we sign that disgusting rapist. Yep I’m also of this opinion. I would be finding a Junior or Lowland league club to support until he and the board left. It really would be a dark day in the clubs history, imo. Edited January 1, 2022 by TedCrilly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have kept Holt on haven't they. Now that is fucking stupid. If Goodwillie signs he signs he'll get us goals BUT is our support not divided anyway? He'll divide a support whoever he signs for. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your point about Holt is valid however signing somebody with DG’s history is another issue entirely. I don’t give a flying f**k about any other teams support mate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AL-FFC Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 TBF most of our signings have divided support as but more as in that's a good signing or not good enough and totally underwhelming the latter 2 being the ones used more. I think the majority support have made their feelings known on the Goodwillie issue and that there is no way they would be that stupid to do something like that and also didn't one of the Clyde supporters say there would need to be a fee for him to sign so I think whoever is spouting it is talking sh*te 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a genuine heads gone reading some of the comments on Facebook the other day about the potential signing. I can see me having another 8 year hiatus if this materialises. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbri Bairn Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I worked in Criminal Justice for a time and I am really passionate about people being rehabilitated. To do that you must accept your crime and work towards never repeating it.In the case of DGW he does not feel he has done anything to be remorseful for which is completely different. A big no no no from me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’d have ruined the club completely. Regarding the fee, there may be a clause in his contract that means he can leave if he gets offered full time football, which would make him more appealing for some clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadwell Dog Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 You've got to wonder who organised a loan deal to end on the 6th of bloody January. Wonder if Jack Hamilton will be failed striker no 15 for Holt this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggerG Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Anybody know why the authorities decided not to proceed with the criminal case against Goodwillie? Was it down to a lack of evidence? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think this is the case as Livingston tried to sign him a couple of years ago but a fee couldn’t be agreed I am surprised Falkirk has never tried to sign him as he would guarantee you promotion but take the point that fans would be against it due to his history How many would be against it I don’t know and an online forum wouldn’t be the place to judge as usually a small minority online that kick up a fuss about things online I know that there were Clyde fans who were against signing him at the start and MSP John Mason said he wouldn’t be back until he left the club (but he been back at games for a while now) Personally I have just judged him as player as he was found guilty and paid his debt to society as was determined. He is by far the best player have seen in 40 years as a Clyde fan and would be disappointed if he left Suppose it depends on how much he really wants to move as understand he is on a big wage and would be disappointed if we didn’t look for a fee of £75k plus which is going to put most of clubs in Scotland out of the picture as he still has 18 months on his contract 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
