You might be surprised at how many in football live in a bubble, even at this level. It's quite clear Falkirk tried and there'll have been a few more astute Directors that have chased managers and colleagues who wanted to sign him. There is definitely a disconnect between opinions on Goodwillie within the football fraternity and that of the real world. Danny Lennon never seemed to have a bad word to say about him, from what I recall about the Don't Tell Him He's Pele podcast his then team mates at Clyde seemed fairly sanguine about playing alongside him. I suspect there is a worryingly different narrative surrounding Goodwillie amongst those that actually play the game vs. The rest of us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipmat Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I think if I was in the Raith hierarchy I'd be trying to get Goodwillie loaned back to Clyde for as long as possible to give some breathing space while you work out a legal strategy as to how to terminate his contract. If that can't be done the best thing to do would in my view be to pay him to stay away, ie take the hit and hope he leaves of his own accord. That last thing that's needed just now is to actually have him running onto the pitch in a Raith shirt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he goes back to Clyde that’ll be newsworthy too and the pressure will be on Clyde. Do they want that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strongly suspect that loads of people didn't actually pay any attention to either the case, or the judgement. They'll have seen the words "civil case" and "payout" and just assumed that he'd been a bit naughty and that was the end of it. Suspect some of his pals and teammates remained wilfully ignorant. Would be natural to try and bury your head in the sand if it was one of your pals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Fwiw, I was asked this morning to go on radio 1's newsbeat by one of their team on twitter. I said no (mainly because of work, partly because my radio voice is limited to the odd k107 Saturday Sport Show appearance). This isn't going anyway any time soon and rightly so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In amongst some pretty obvious new accounts set up for a troll, a poster was called a 'faux feminist' and a rapist by another poster. Not surprising it's been taken down for the time being. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt Off The Ball will discuss it as well. The Shereen Nanjiani show on Saturday morning (Radio Scotland) will definitely cover it too. So the story isn't going anywhere anytime soon. I guess Off The Ball will mention it and move on. A topic like that is like an unexploded bomb for a lighthearted show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
