Chinatoon Bairn Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) It's really no often that I'll be celebrating the fact we've missed out on a transfer target but this is definitely one of those occasions.

Springfield Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Arse cheeks (well one half) must be fizzing, not even the the signing Aron Ramsey can knock off Rape Rovers from the top spot headlines. Social gold 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a bairn Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I have to say I expected outcry in footballing circles regardless of who he signed for, but I'm pleasantly surprised at the systemic outcry of him signing. Unfortunately, I've got a feeling it's not representitive of footballing fans in general and when it eventually does die down he'll be back to coasting along as he was with Clyde. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is he'll "contract covid" to keep him away from the team for a week to two to try to let it blow over a bit before making a lower-key debut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea and Busquets Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 So John McGlynn was quoted saying Goodwillie is a great signing for Raith. Is it? They’ve split their fan base, caused a divide between club and supporters, lost their main sponsor, lost their captain of the woman’s team and saw a few directors resign. Not a great signing in my book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Are we restricted to domestic loans or are we allowed to sign players on loan from English clubs this month? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just shows what many knew…..their Board would abandon integrity in favour of a shout at promotion. I really do hope they finish 5th or lower. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye absolutely wild. Some fans justifying the potential signature that promotion would be worth losing a “few” fans for. Get more in if the teams doing well etc. Totally underestimating the true impact of this situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Suffering Bairn Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) I hope the not insignificant number of Falkirk fans on the COYB facebook page (and a couple on here) the last month or so wanting Goodwillie to sign for us take the time to go over the the Raith thread on Pie & Bovril today and witness the absolute meltdown of their fanbase reacting to Goodwillie signing. Please learn from this and maybe reconsider your views. Edited February 1, 2022 by Long Suffering Bairn mistake 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need some energy in there, someone who doesn't struggle going box to box. If we do manage to sign one I'd move Telfer on one into the 10.

Guest Caractacus Potts Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 3 hours ago, Back Post Misses said: My point is that the MANAGER should not need to be told whether the signing is wrote for the club or not. They don’t just look at his football ability but all aspects of the guys character and what impact that would have. Your point was the board don’t sign players. Ask the Raith fans if they consider their board to be culpable of signing Goodwillie? The stain on Raith Rover’s reputation and the impact it will have will last longer than John McGlynns tenure. Just glad he’s not coming to us and never will be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
