saltcoatsbuddie Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 other players seem to get away with it (hamell and lasley ) jump to mind straight away ,,the difference is these guys go in hard and can take it ,,Goodwin tries to be fly all the time and gets caught every time ,,so it look like cowardice doesn't always pay Having now seen it.... Other people do seem to get away with stuff. I like the hard physical side of fitba. I've never really minded it being a contact sport. I couldn't play nowadays, though. I'd be off more often than JG. What worries me about it is his stupidity. There was no way with cameras being so prevalent that such an OBVIOUS DIG would not be spotted. He has been playing in the modern game for long enough. Has the man learnt nothing? And yet.... And yet.... I do feel he IS being persecuted. He should have been thinking that and reacting appropriately a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbie Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 In all honesty I love it when our players elbow opponents in the face, give a sly rake of the studs down someone's calf or blatantly boot them six feet up in the air. It shows fight and passion which has been devastatingly lacking at our beloved club for some time now. I just don't like it when they get caught doing it. I dream of the day we have another Aber in the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyond our ken Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 A one off incident, ha ha ha. Why did he call his book Abers gonnie get you? 2 of the 3 were absolutely not related to the physical side of his game that his book title refers to, he was sent off for foul play and the other two were for continuously refusing to leave the pitch and arguing with the ref The man was in a real state at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykey Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I'm afraid the bottom line is we have been offered a 3 match ban and don't really have any grounds for appealling - bbc bias or dufc snivelling are not grounds for appeal. lets hope osbourne's injury situation is improving.

Seaside Nipper Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) Hmm, plenty mileage on this , well fwiw I think Jim Goodwin's elbows are now starting to feature more and more in his game as he struggles to command his place in matches now. I remember watching him have a nightmare start to the Hearts LC final , allbeit maybe carrying a knock, but he did grow into he game and organised and held towards the end, that was fabulous. Unfortunately time rattles on , young fast dynamic players get unleashed with pace and Goodwin struggles....he's getting caught out all over the place now. I think his elbows are now as much part of his frustration at his own limits, as trying to slow down , dunt , intimidate opponents. Three more games in the stand now , ffs , I think Jim Goodwin himself is first to know that does the clu no good at all. A nicer guy you couldn't meet off the park ,but on the field for Jim it's all going a bit Pete Tong now, especially the last year and a half.tbh............. Maybe a sweeper role , who knows, but as a final general point our central defence is as bad as I've seen in a long time Edited November 5, 2014 by Seaside Nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northstbuddie Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 In view of the fact that Jim has proven (time and time again) he is not capable of changing his ways by his own efforts, how about the club offering him counselling in anger management? That is what most responsible employers would do in this situation. On the other hand, some employers would probably have got rid of Jim long ago!

whydowebother Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 St Mirren quoted today as being 'disappointed' with Goodwin. Okay , that's fair comment albeit a milder version of what fans might say. So , as they feel the need to comment on a 'disappointing' performance of a club employee, then why the silence on the appalling job Tommy is doing ? Surely we should know how they 'feel' about his underachieving ? Also what action may be taken ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E=Mc2 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) Fair enough thats your view, I think you are being absolutly delusional, Goodwin gets barged in the back, agreed, but it hardly made him break stride, Goodwin then fires an elbow (totally unnaturally) at the face of the DU player You have your view and I have mine, Im sick of Goodwin pulling stunts like this, hes nearly 33years old for f**ks sake. You think hes hard done by..... The wiser action that Jim should have taken was to allow himself to be barged to the ground and it would have probably resulted in the United player receiving a booking and his manager would have bemoaned this as an unnecessary booking given that the ball was going out of play. For a player that should have an "auld heid" he doesn't use it very often. Edited November 5, 2014 by E=Mc2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qarsaan Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I am on record as stating I think use of 'TV evidence' is wrong. Realistically though, I accept the reality of what we have. In Jim's position of a senior player, and near management, I expect him to set an example on the field to the rest of the team. In this latest incident he has shown himself unable or unwilling to do that. Sadly, I think he should have been shown the door, and fired.
