    Rape is a very serious matter but as we know from other high profile cases it isn't as straightforward as a stranger dragging a woman into some bushes in a park. It is usually one person's word against another & boils down to the issue of consent.

    What about the fathers of sons who are wrongly accused? It does happen because unfortunately malicious allegations are made.

    That's why the burden of proof for criminal convictions is beyond all reasonable doubt so that miscarriages of justice don't happen.

    I have no opinion of David Goodwillie as a person because i don't know him. Only him and the woman who made the allegation against him will know what happened but the fact of the matter is he isn't a convicted rapist

    Clearly something happened or they wouldn’t be paying.

    David Goodwillie and David Robertson ordered to pay £100,000 in damages after being ruled to have raped woman

    Anyway let’s see if the club can come back from this, maybe them that sanctioned it could resign

    Or in this case 2 men having *** with 1 woman who was incapable of saying no.
    The cival case judge rules they raped her so are you still saying it may not have happened?

    Similar to ched evans….when he had served his time,clubs were all interested because basically there was a 3 million player on offer for free…either they wanted to player or they just wanted the link and the publicity…

    Goodwillie

    Returned to Clyde on loan and now the coffuffle about him has started all over again.
    Clyde's entire ladies team have now resigned.

    I don't really get it because whether he did or didn't do what he is meant to have done that civil thing was now 5 years ago. The alleged offence much longer. He was playing for Clyde for a while before he moved to Raith and no one was bothered and now he's gone back it's suddenly a big deal.

    Don't think the lad will be getting employed as a footballer again anywhere. Might as well hang up your boots kid
