The Spider Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Some serious questions about the whole Goodwillie issue, as there are some genuine follow-on issues that are worth exploring. It's stating the obvious to conclude that he's far too good a player for this league, and that without the off-field baggage he'd have been in the division team of the year and back with a full time club by now. He may still go, but what if he doesn't. The logical conclusion would be that 41 (potentially) other clubs deem him to be too high risk, which would leave Clyde very isolated, either viewed as progressive or pariahs. For me this raises the following questions: Would Clyde have offered the same level of support with a player of average ability? If the answer to that is no then it leaves the club's moral justification in tatters. If yes, does that not create a danger that Clyde will be seen as the first port of call for every decent player with a similar background, thereby justifying your policy but leaving you even more exposed to critical media commentary? Clearly every other club in this league would prefer not to have to face a player of his quality next season, but would Clyde's loss be to their long term benefit? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We kept Ally Love on (who I consider a very average player) after being found guilty of racism whilst an employee of Clyde. In his various interviews, Norrie Innes has answered your second question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FREDDYFRY Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I’m sure if we looked at every club in the land they will have players past and present with various level of convictions which in other walks of life would be questionable. Including managers. Drink driving. Sectarian singing, assaults, drug taking, inappropriate betting etc the list is endless and depends on your personal view of what is more serious than the other. The argument that it depends on how talented you are is valid, but that is football I’m afraid. I’m sure there are one or two current international players who, if not decent footballers may well be unemployed given their past mistakes. Including our SFA director of football or whatever his title is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livingston being an example.There has been little or no discussion about their signing policy in the Scottish press.It's about time we all moved on as everything has been said many many times before. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re the director of football comment, it would be holier than thou of me to let that pass unanswered. Despite having watched the man progress through all playing levels of my own club and knowing him personally, I think he has no place whatsoever being in a position of example to others, and personal connections aside I was and remain completely against his appointment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who supports Goodwilliie's right to resurrect his career with Clyde would lose any sense of credibility were they to be against Mackay's appointment purely on the grounds of principle. He won't be in the least bit upset as he's won a watch with that job, whereas Goodwillie (with due respect to Clyde) is having to work his way back up from the bottom, and if that doesn't strike you as an inequitable situation then I'm clearly wasting both my time and yours attempting to explain it to you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
