lenny was tricked.....seemingly


Recommended Posts

A Celtic spokesman said: “This is clearly a set-up. We will not dignify this poisonous campaign with comment.”

Surely that is a comment.

Thick bastards.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Same old Celtic. Then as now, they are silent on sex abuse.

Taken from a Daily Record article of 1996 as quoted on the excellent largejockwasaware.com site. Would be interesting to see if the Record is still adamant today that the board was aware of the abuse since 1976, that only Jock Stein did anything and that noone, including Stein, told the police.

A Record investigation has revealed Celtic's board knew about the rumours 20 years ago. Only Jock Stein was big enough to show Torbett the door. And after the legend died, the pervert wormed his way back into the good books.

Today, Torbett is a respected senior official of the boys' club. His Trophy Centre shops sponsor the league Celtic boys play in, and provide Celtic FC with most of their medals and awards. He also helped raise cash for the Celtic Charity Fund. And he has a regular seat in the Parkhead directors' box as guest of his pal, past chairman Kevin Kelly.

I wonder where they got the idea that they could just hush up all that sexual abuse, move a few people around and never involve the police?

Perhaps it was the 4% of priests in the USA who have been accused of sexual abuse http://www.bishop-accountability.org/repor...nJay/index.html

Or perhaps it was the fact that non-reporting of sexual abuse by Catholic priests was so widespread in Massachusetts that they actually added a special section to the criminal code compelling religious officials to report child sexual abuse. http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/seslaw02/sl020107.htm
