Am I misremembering that he did and the appeal got thrown out?

No, you are remembering correctly. 

Rejected by three appeal judges. 

Just in case anyone is counting, that's four judges that have judged David Goodwillie to be a rapist.

Who'd have thought 24hrs ago that the Camelon fan and Tommy ringpiece were merely the support bands for the main roaster, the bold Craig? Not me! I'll tell you that much. I assumed they were the low point of the Clyde gene pool that we'd see, but here he is splashing about in the shallow end with his waterwings on shouting loudly about grown up things that he doesn't really understand.

Couldn't be more wrong. 

Over 50 people alone on the owners forum voted for his return. Zero people in the Glasgow branch group on FB have said they are against it. Everyone I've spoke to are in favour. 

The minority is Pie & Bovril, not the fans at games still singing his name, not the owners forums and not GB. 

Make it all the worse, then, doesn’t it? Not a spine or thread of moral fibre among them.

'Goodwillie, who had moved to Stark's Park as he desired a return to full-time football, had written to fans expressing his sadness that Clyde's board had initially rejected his return, saying he wished he could turn the clock back.'

Genuine question. The final sentence if the BBC article on Goodwillie's return to Clyde says that he contacted Clyde fans following the boards initial refusal to take him back.

Is this the case?

I haven't seen it mentioned yet on this thread.

The attitudes of some Clyde fans on here (thankfully now what looks like a pretty small majority) are a bit like the Steubenville High School rape case where the concern was for the football players and the impact on them, rather than the impact on the victim.

Sadly, there are people for whom their team is more important than anything else or any moral considerations, and they would contort any set of facts to justify their position.  We saw it on the Raith thread too.

I just can’t do the moral gymnastics, and am back to my self-imposed exile.

I had also wondered about this. I didn’t receive any letter so clearly wasn’t on DGW’s mailing list…

Looking at your ‘partners’ (sponsors) how do we know which ones to boycott. Glens vodka is easy enough but macaroon bars?

Great signing for Clyde. Wish ICT had signed him instead, would have got us promoted!!

Thankfully we are a club who don’t employ, and actually sack, players who are abusive to woman.

[lennyzer0]

f**k me, there are some absolutely dubious as f**k posters - mainly Clyde, but I see a couple of other 'ach, we've all done a bit of the raping when we were laddies' morons chiming in - on this thread.

[Darkness78]

Having witnessed the fallout following Goodwillie’s signing for Raith, it is mind boggling that Clyde thought it would be a good idea to take him back.

All their Christmas had come at once by offloading him for a hefty transfer fee and wages freed up. It’s not as if results have dropped off since his departure. With or without Goodwillie they were never going to get promoted or relegated.

Just seems a needless situation to get into.

[Clyde01]

Or because pie and bovril forum is a toxic echo chamber. 

I think you’ll find the Glasgow branch Facebook page or official forum to be much more akin to toxic echo chambers than pie and bovril.

Hence the repeated calling out of those championing a rapist.

Clyde Football Club and needlessly blowing your own foot off. Name me a more iconic duo.

Read this as well and found it astounding. I imagine it was written in crayon for a start. Probably a direct plea to the singing his name, bring wur captain home brigade.

Like everything else surrounding DG it smacks of caring only for himself and loaded with his own self interest, exactly as the judge described his character.

Let’s be honest here if raith fans hadn’t kicked up a massive fuss at his signing he wouldn’t give a f**k about Clyde right now. He wants to turn the clock back and come crawling back with his tail between his legs now and c***s are lapping it up like a returning hero. It’s sickening.

Would you be happy with one of your family members having their entire life ruined based on nothing but probability? Wouldn't you want a jury of their peers to decide? Well that's what goodie wanted and didn't get. 

everyone knows he’s a rapist,even “goodie” knows he’s a rapist or he wouldn’t have tried to settle out of court

“goodie”

I genuinely struggle to think of a more mismanaged club outside the premier league, maybe Falkirk give a run for the title. Just sleepwalk from one disaster to another,It’s a real shame.

So why are you complaining about the signing? The board made a decision based on what was best for the club and I think we can all move on now. 
You can't tell people to back to board on one hand and then complain about their decision the next. 
 

Did the board make the decision based on what is best for the club or were they put under pressure by a particular sponsor to re-sign his favourite player?

We're the one club in the whole world with sponsors that threaten to remove sponsorship if we DIDN'T sign Goodwillie.

Absolute nuts.

So to clarify...we now have a player that wanted to leave 5 weeks ago, appointed by a board that voted last week, against taking him back.

 

Wonkers on here and OS claiming because they have loud voices they must be right.  Putinesk claiming there is no backlash. Also claiming a letter was sent in demanding an EGM. Our board shat it.   I hope these c***s will dig deep into their pockets if our shitty board have misjudged this...

Not all Clyde fans back this stupidity.
