Should Celtic FC be shut down?

[Gaz52 11,837]

After yet more revelations about child abuse that went on at Parkhead, should this horrible institution be allowed to continue? 

There should now be genuine concerns over child safety at the club IMO. Even as a punishment for past abuse and out of respect for the victims, this club should not be allowed to continue to operate and make money. 

I can't think of any other football club who's management, directors etc have harboured as many criminals? These crimes deserve the death penalty in my eyes, abusing vulnerable young children is as low as you can get. 

It's time for major repercussions, they can't be allowed to just keep brushing these off like they're nothing. 

Shut the dirty, inhumane Celtic Football Club down!

[KingKirk 25,633]

surprised your even asking mate should say shut Celtic down!

[BridgeIsBlue 66,606]

Give me one good reason why they shouldn't.

If I had a gun with 2 bullets and was in a room with Hitler,Savile and Andrew Kerins I'd shoot Andrew twice.

[Inigo 32,526]

Worth discussing. Personally, I reckon title stripping, fines, relegation and jail for those involved would be a more appropriate punishment.

Gaz has a nice juicy worm on the end of that hook.

anyone says no they better get explaining fast

What are you trying to suggest?

[Courtyard Bear 41,357]

Yes but it will never happen unfortunately. There should be titles stripped, massive fines, demotion to lower leagues and a total ban on them ever having any under age children involved with the club again.

I voted yes obviously, but without them in the mix scottish football would return to what it was before we came back up. But still, if i need to go and watch the gers ride every team in the league and the football suffer to a certain degree it would be worth it when it comes to draining the scottish swamp

I've said no, so fill yer boots.

[RFCRobertson 11,778]

@Gaz52 hitting out with that rhetorical question 

 

[Gaz52 11,837]

We should gather a posse and march to hampden and pay for articles in local newspapers...  or Swiss ones.

Teflon tims I'm afraid no matter how much shit comes their way they always come up smelling of roses 

[cushynumber 25,178]

If there were 5 cases of abuse at any other place, there would be a full criminal enquiry. As I dont believe the police are quite in cellics pocket yet, I am awaiting this happening.

Particularity given the latest old geezers latest testimony where it seems it was common practise. Thats it at a whole new level and he is looking at serious jail time, so I expect to see deals getting cut and for the full extent of this to be blown wide open. Its coming.

If they have been shown time and again to ignore this or cover it up i expect to see severe consequences for the club. They wont be shut down though.

[standup 829]

Shouldn't have been in existence in the first place.  Maybe they will get a move to the EPL for penance and spiritual renewal.

[The Monk 3,207]

No and as amusing as it would be, I wouldn`t want them gone completely. I`d say a heavy fine (by heavy I mean potentially crippling), 5 year ban from Europe, titles stripped (although from what time period and how many is another debate) and possibly a transfer embargo should do it.

[Prso's headband 35,428]

Their untouchable.

Until our support rally as one and unite against this and our board grow balls with regards to the media they will get away with this 100%.

You have to say they should be in line for at least as much strife as we have had to deal with in the last few years ... I can't think of anything worse than facilitating years of child abuse and the penalties should reflect that

I would say MUCH worse we were put through the ringer for something that was openly declared in our accounts they on the other hand made paedophilia common place in one part of Scottish football 

[Howsitgoing 4,281]

Not only shut down but rooted out of existence.
