    Sticking up for his mate in this instance.

    Undoubtedly a vile scumbag though.

    I think most guys, even if they say they wouldn't, would react the way Goodwillie did if put in the same situation.

    Nothing will come of this tbh. And I'd be shocked if it did.

    Goodwillie might be a wee * but backing up your mate in a scrap after being attacked is not exactly a shocking thing to do and I don't know anyone who wouldn't have done the same thing. The guy should count himself lucky it was only a few of digs

    I wonder if the man who attacked Swanson is getting done, as well.

    Because this is Scotland; where sending bombs is only considered assault.

    cause it wasnt him that was hit. if swanson got back up and battered the guy it would be considered self defence. but hey, the legal system in this country is a joke.

    No problems with this, only sticking up for a mate like folk are saying.

    The guy that knocked out Swanson deserved more than a few punches and kicks

    Nothing wrong with what Goodwillie did

    Would be interesting to know what exactly the 'medical condition' was that the guy suffered from. Guy probably deserved to get skelped but Goodwillie was always going to plead guilty since it's on CCTV.

    The CCTV is shocking.

    Swanson standing there minding his own business, then some ned randomly smashes him in the face.

    You can understand why Goodwillie reacted as he did.
