Just that it'd still make me feel uneasy cheering on a beast. Didn't he play for a team in Lithuania or somewhere? Pretty sure Romanov farmed him out there until it all calmed down, but it didn't calm down so he was eventually emptied (cannae mind if he was sacked or his contract ran out).

The usual 'look at me' bawbags demanding season ticket refunds and asking if it's safe to take their kids to City matches ffs ? Hope the lad does well ?? Wonder if this will have any effect on Edinburgh Cities relationship with Spartans (as they will be ground sharing for the foreseeable future) given Spartans are big on youth development.

Edin City are huge on youth development too (I help run the 2011s) and they have several sides all through the age groups. As I said above there are already a few bawbags demanding a refund on their season tickets and refusing to send their kids to training now. Someone actually asked "Will it be safe for my 10 year old to attend the matches next season?". The usual over the top reaction from a few sensitive folk ?

When you make a signing like this a back lash is to be expected, and will not reflect well on city (most folk will just see "sex offender" and go on the defensive knowing he is at the same club as their kids, so those peoples reaction is perfectly normal).... interesting to see what happens, will the club decide against the transfer, or try ride it out (he has been playing for a number of years in the Junior Leagues with no great attention, and so far it just seems to be the local papers that are pushing the story) Saying that, City are putting together a not half bad team for next season.

Fairbairn Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Barrie MacKay has apparently signed for Notts Forrest for £500,000. I'm assuming there's at least one zero missed off that fee...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While there's obviously an ethical dilemma about giving the guy a 2nd chance, he's hardly likely to be grooming spectators while taking a throw in. It's not like he'll be coaching the U-14 girls team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I take your point completely, however there's 'sex offender' in the Savile category and 'sex offender' in his case. He obviously made a serious error of judgement as a daft 17/18 year old. Cannot and never will condone what he did but the reaction by a few is completely over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he not something like 21/22 at the time and in the first team at Hearts, where he really should have known better? You will probably get folks out to give him dogs abuse (at home and away games) but when the dust settles the club can hopefully move on with this.

I don't think he even got the jail for it, did he? Stupid and unpleasant as it was what he did, as you say, he's not Jimmy Savile. He's not even Ched Evans.

Probably wise you backed away. I'm still backing away - however, he didn't shag anybody, did he? He was horrible and smutty and inappropriate over social media, unless I'm misremembering. Also, I forgot Ched Evans had his conviction quashed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
