Yet, here I am… Whilst I'm against Goodwillie, I'm also against this so called family club nonsense. It means absolutely nothing whilst your languishing on the edge of full time football. A winning team comes before that. Community integration is what the foundation is for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think we could make steps towards building a winning team without having to resort to signing a 33 year old rapist from Clyde that would bring nothing but negative press and divide the fanbase. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're either ok with an unrepentant rapist leading the line for the team, or you're not. If it's the former, then you're a wrong 'un. You can hold your shitty opinion, but nobody else needs to respect it. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulioBairn Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Very good statement from the board but not sure why they’ve included that bit at the end. Everyone except Shadwell can see that It points very much to the signing of Goodwillie. However the fact Shadwell is ‘not getting his knickers in a twist’ points to the fact we won’t sign Goodwillie. He has fallen madly in love with the new board and despite claiming there are no more leaks at the club he was very chilled about the Gary Holt situation and low and behold Holt was gone the very next day Conclusion - I have no idea why that section was included if they don’t intend signing him but until Shadwell panics I’m staying relaxed. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he panic, he'll stop officially going and get comps? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of the day if our new manager wants him and a deal can be done he will sign him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
