Not the same fuss even though it was closer to the conviction in civil court. Why the uproar now and not back then? -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been pointed out during the Raith signing, there was an "uproar" when he signed for Clyde. They were just a smaller club with a smaller public profile, and their board didn't buckle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know John Gall's meant to be behind Darvel. Certainly been the face of it. They might be a smaller club, but they've got a bigger target. "Boycott Brownings" the money's going to a rapist. EDIT: It'd probably also drag in quotes from Kilmarnock and their fans since they're sponsored by Brownings.

Broken Algorithms Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Can you imagine the shit storm Goodwillie signing would cause. Surely not worth the hassle it would bring The difference is, Darvel have a sponsor who won't walk. It'll be the opposite: they've got a sponsor who is more than happy to fit the bill. A lot was made at Rovers about Val McDermid but the reality is that we had volunteers leaving the club left, right and centre. I'd imagine there'll still be rage if he signs given our move is so fresh, but I think most people will look at Darvel's level and think he's done. Even if they did get upset, they'll not do anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're also a very sponsor of Kilmarnock and I doubt some of their fanbase would like the idea thay buying a Killie Pie is putting £s in a rapist's paypacket. For someone that's tied up in promoting their brand. It would be an absolutely daft thing to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd be astonished if Killie fans got a up in arms over it as our fans did given he wouldn't be at their club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
