Have we a Freudian slip in the title of this thread?
As far as I'm concerned I think this may well be a case of the press looking to fill some column inches because its beloved Premiership has now closed for a wee while.
Alternatively, the players agent is trying to get a Christmas/New Year bonus for himself by touting his client's name all over the sport pages in the hope.🤔

I'm not sure if the lad's personal past has major relevance here? He is after all a free man in our society.

Now his FOOTBALL past? Is that not a different story?

Not like me to be controversial, but I would sign him.

The Courier appears to be all over this today and not all in the sport's pages. Even forms the whole editorial piece!
I'm still of the opinion that this is not happening.
It's a column inches filler at best or an agent heads up that clubs should remember his/her player is still out there and hoping for a percentage of a transfer fee.

I'm a bit conflicted here.

1. Purely on football terms, he's a proven goalscorer and could be the missing link for us.

2. In terms of his chequered past, he has 2 assault convictions from when he was 19 and 21. No convictions in the past 11 years which might suggest that he's matured. Everyone deserves a second chance.

On balance I'd probably be OK either way.

A third tweet read: "Two criminal convictions and a civil finding of rape. That’s pretty guilty in my book".

She's kind of coming across as a self appointed judge, jury and executioner.

Reading on P&B that folk took the time to email the club raising their concerns about us being linked with him with few replies from posters saying the club, notably Andy Mill, saying we're not looking to sign Goodwillie.
