Never read or seen any of that.

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.

It might have been an issue to begin with but in terms of the media, 'celebrities', major politicians etc he was free to play there as long as he liked

It's not really a  surprise that it became a bigger issue when he went from playing part-time in L2 to full-time in the Championship. Ultimately, the right outcome happened and that rapey cunt is now a pariah.

Might not be a surprise but that doesn't make it right.

Anything that sees a rapist hounded is the right thing.

Nah people jumping on a bandwagon, and that is exactly what happened, so they can appear to be in the right have no right to moan about him signing for Raith or anyone else when they were silent about Clyde.

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.

Tbf he scored every single week, his name would’ve been seen on Gillette soccer Saturday, final score, bt sports goals programme.

it was political point scoring that wee cow got involved when he signed for Raith.

she was up in arms about that but was ok with a male rapist being sent to a woman’s prison.

A funny old world as they say

Expecting people to have the same morals over a rapist regardless of the football club he plays for is a pretty reasonable take as far as I'm concerned.

Tbh, I couldn't care less about why Sturgeon got involved. Goodwillie is a rapist and should be nowhere near football. That overrides any 'political point scoring'.

Expecting everyone to keep tabs on who is signing for L2 clubs is a very weird take. Could you tell me who Clyde have signed this summer without googling?

But he was in football for years before they got involved. No cunt really cared till Raith.

there was no national outrage fuck all until Raith Rovers, he was playing in cup ties against the biggest club in the land.

it’s not like he was at a local amateur side

So why do you expect everyone to have known the rapist had signed for clyde - particularly when Clyde refused to acknowledge his signing in2017 until an MSP made an issue of it?

There was national media coverage of his signing (once clyde finally acknowledged it) calling them out for signing a rapist.

His name was scrolling along TV screens almost every week, when he was at Clyde, so they knew in 2017 he was there but thought Ach it’s only Clyde he can stay down there lower league fans aren’t in danger? But he goes to Raith and that’s it the world needs to kick up a fuck?

btw I couldn’t tell you who Raith sign without googling it

And he could continue there, there was no hounding him out or forcing Clyde to let go, NL council weren’t kicking Clyde out the stadium then.

it’s hypocritical point scoring pish. 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

No everybody reads the bbc

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.

Obviously the reason everyopne knew he had signed for Raith was because they follow their twitter account and got it from there, not the mainstream media who were reporting it.

So we just ignore then and let a rapist play professional football? Tbh, it's a shame the cunt is still able to draw a breath, never mind kick a ball.

Big Val the author played a big part in his exposure at Raith iirc.
