One of the big stories in Scotland today has been this: Raith Rovers have lost both their home & away kit sponsors, I believe 2 members of their board, the supporters liason officer, they won't even have ball boys at their next match.

For those unfamiliar, the Procurator Fiscal decided there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute so the survivor took the case to civil court & won 6 figures (I think �50k from each of the rapists).

I think reform & rehabilitation have to be at the core of a justice system & Goodwillie hasn't shown a jot of remorse or even accepted that he did anything wrong.

It's a horrible story & Raith seem.to have done themselves possible long-term damage with not just sponsors but also a lot of fans talking about not going back

This is a real shame as despite coming from despite darkest Mordor I have always considered Raith good eggs. Seems like many of their supporters are at least. Surprises me the backlash against Clyde wasn't at a similar scale, maybe it's just because Raith are a bigger club. Anyway, I think they need to climb down from this but they won't reverse all the damage.

One thing I was wondering about the expressing remorse bit, obviously it would be the right thing to do but wouldn't that open him to a criminal charnge?

Anyway McPake out.
