As abuse took place in New Jersey surely the only way we’ll see justice is if the American authorities get involved. Also seen people on FF talking about contacting UEFA but got a feeling they would just palm it off to the SFA where it’ll be hidden away.

Still can’t believe celtic have, are and will get away with this. Fucking sickens me!

If the government do not act on this it’s a crime itself. Everyone, please use the template posted and contact MPs and MSPs.

Im going to go direct now to:

Joe Fitzpatrick MSP for sport and health 

Jeane Freeman cabinet secretary for health and sport 

Marre Todd MSP for children and young people 

Get onto them all and do not miss these fuckers.

 

Just contacted all 3 of the above.

This isn’t a Rangers v celtic thing, it’s a call for justice, decency and protection of every young person involved in football or any other sport.

This has to go to the top so it can never ever happen again.

Contact MSPs, use social media, exhaust every and any avenue to get information out to the mass public.

He writes for the Herald which is traditionally very pro-scum. If he feels strongly enough to break cover and call for an independent inquiry, then he won’t be alone. This latest pervert might be the tipping point. Outrageous that it has taken so many.

Better to have “died” than live a lie forever, as they seem happy to do

[Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310]

The bit that boils my blood is the people earning a living in the media outlets, knowing of each conviction, clear connections and saying nothing. Just utter scum.

Even the tumbleweed is from a separate entity, and is in no way connected.

Was The Billy Boys sung whilst this abuse was going on, that's the real question here.

[BRITNEY IS NOT FEELING IT 8,293]

Sickening bastards , 

 

A former manager of celtic Boys Club has been found guilty of nine charges of sexually abusing young footballers.

Frank Cairney, 83, was placed on the sex offenders register and was granted bail until he is sentenced next month.

Sheriff Daniel Kelly QC praised the "courage" of Cairney's victims, who he said had brought forward these matters to public scrutiny.

The jury of eight women and seven men took two hours to reach their verdicts at Hamilton Sheriff Court.

Following the verdict, a man who has accused Cairney of abusing him in the early 1970s, said justice had finally caught up with the "evil paedophile".

 

He said Cairney had used his standing at celtic FC to gain access to innocent young boys and abuse them in the most horrible way.

"Some of this abuse was carried out within the celtic Park dressing room as well as in his car," he said.

'Basic decency'

The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, added: "What me and the other victims of abuse at celtic now want to see is the senior club take responsibility for the action of these abusers who operated with complete freedom within celtic Park.

"The stance celtic have taken, saying they do not have any legal responsibility, is revolting and insulting.

"celtic FC called the shots with the boys club. It's time the club acted with some basic decency over our legal claims."

 

Analysis by BBC investigations correspondent Mark Daly 

Frank Cairney is the third former celtic Boys Club coach to be convicted of child sex abuse in the past six weeks.

Last month, Boys Club founder Jim Torbett was jailed for six years, while another coach, teacher Gerald King, was convicted earlier this month of abusing boys at a school.

The reputation of the Boys Club, which produced so many great celtic players, lies in ruins.

Once more, the Boys Club's close links to celtic FC was a feature in Cairney's trial.

One player told the court he was abused inside celtic Park by Cairney. Another of his victims told how his team even trained in the stadium on occasion in the early 1970s.

After the conviction of Torbett, celtic expressed deep regret for the victims, but stressed the Boys Club was a separate entity. This rings hollow to the victims.

After the verdict, one of Cairney's victims, now 59, told me: "We were part of celtic, to say the Boys Club wasn't is disingenuous. We even swept the terraces at Parkhead.

"celtic need to hold their hands up and admit that now."

celtic have yet to comment.

Cairney was acquitted in 1998 on similar charges. Twenty years later, a different result. Sentence was deferred till the new year, and Cairney will spend the festive period contemplating a lengthy prison sentence.

Daly is the kind of guy who will use that as fuel. The more hate they throw at him, the more he’ll wire in.

88minthink back to what was done in Orkney 30 plus years ago .with only allegations. no convictions .

fair enough it was over the score and heavy handed but the government still went in all guns blazing

[Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310]

For anyone making contact for action - mary.glasgow@children1st.org.uk

She is the Chief Executive for Children 1st and has as recently as October just announced a partnership agreement with the SFA:

https://www.children1st.org.uk/who-we-are/news/scottish-fa-announce-charity-partnership-with-children-1st/

I have just contacted her asking what she is intending to do given this partnership agreement and direct engagement through child protection in Scottish football.

Journos do it and it is "brilliant"

Decent Rangers fans do it and it's "point scoring"

Bottom line is, an independent enquiry is required to establish if what we all suspect is true - a peado ring operating from within cellic.  The evidence so far is appalling.

Strange old world S, but what you say is spot on IMO.
