David Goodwillie

[TSANHO]

Forget the actual chances of him signing for Notts, but, given our history with Lee Hughes, how would fans feel if Notts were to sign Goodwillie….whose career is now in limbo?

I think that, like in Lee’s case, his past would be quickly forgotten if he scored a hatrick on his imaginary debut.

1) Our owners would neeeevvveeerrrrrr sign him and

2) That name is worth a thousand puns.

Looks a bit like the Ched Evans case in what happened. Mason Greenwood next?

His willie may be good but it's been in some bad places. And no, bringing him to the Lane no matter how many hat tricks he scored would be plain wrong.

[Bushwacka]

We were linked with him a few years back when he was at Blackburn. This was after the incident had occurred but before the civil case had been brought.

I think the difference is that Hoozy showed contrition, and had done his time. This guy hasn’t. AFAIK.

Was he found guilty?

Was he found guilty?

Yes-ish.


''Goodwillie never faced a criminal trial over the rape accusation, with prosecutors saying there was not enough evidence.

However he was taken to civil court by a woman who said she was raped by Goodwillie and his former Dundee United team-mate, David Robertson, after a night out in 2011''.

Bit of form;

In June 2008, Goodwillie was convicted of assaulting a man in a Stirling nightclub,[64] and was fined £250.[65]

In September 2009 Goodwillie was arrested after a nightclub doorman was knocked unconscious.[66] Two months later, Goodwillie was convicted of assault and received a £200 fine.[67][68]

In 2012, Goodwillie was convicted of assault for repeatedly punching and kicking John Friel after Friel attacked Goodwillie's teammate Danny Swanson from behind at a takeaway in Glasgow in 2010.[69] He was sentenced to a 12-month probation order and to carry out 80 hours of unpaid work.[69] Friel was ordered to carry out 240 hours of unpaid work for his part in the incident.

Aside from being the epitome of nominative determinism he seems like a generally bad egg
