Only seemed an issue when Raith gave him a decent contract Was an issue LONG before that. It became a bigger issue when he joined Raith - same as it would if anyone moved from a wee club to a bigger one - but was definitely an issue before he joined Raith. There was a point where he was linked with a move to Falkirk (maybe 18 months before he joined Raith) and I asked their then manager - David McCracken - about it and he made it clear that even if they'd wanted to sign him, he's toxic and the damage it would do would massively outweigh any positives on the pitch.

Do you think everybody keeps up to date with who Clyde are signing in League Two? FFS. The cunt's a rapist and, whether folk have moaned since the start or not, he should be hounded from any club he ever tries to sign for. A genuinely fucking mental take from you.

He should’ve been out of Clyde if they cared that much, it was only when certain people seen what could be gained they jumped on it when the Raith deal happened Rowley Birkin and The Specky Forum Organiser 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitre_mouldmaster 21,511 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Tyson is the one that annoys me most. People just seem not to care that he is a fucking beast because he is wrongly considered by many to be the best heavyweight boxer ever. Would have fucking loved it if that zoo keeper had decided to let him go punch that gorilla for a laugh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
