Fuck sake, there's so fucking many of them - maybe I misunderstood, I'll check in the morning pal. 

McCafferty was convicted a couple of years back and I have provided a link to the Daily Mirror report below.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/paedophile-coach-jim-mccafferty-admits-9406814

I do recall in recent months reading somewhere that once his time was served Police Scotland were planning to question him about offences carried out here.

The despicable acts of depravity around that club seem endless and the joining up of all the dots would have taxed the brains of the Enigma code breakers from WW2.

I sent one tweet asking for an investigation and so far I have had:

You're a cunt

You're an an arse hole

Your clubs deid

You're due a kicking 

It’s unreal that asking for justice is worse that child abuse.

Let us be clear, the taigs will protect their priests before they protect their children who have been abused and that will be if they haven't already abused their offspring themselves. 

Them's the rules. This is the mentality of the taig. They have the moral compass of the jackal. Nurtured to protect the faith and hate all outsiders. 

Show me a taig and I'll show you guilt. Remember in this shithole their faith, politics and their club are one. Attack any of it you are a bigot and a racist.

To have the club that they worship totally laid bare for their actions, also exposes the guilt they harbour at a personal level. To have have them look in the mirror is a fate worse than death.

Torbet harbours many secrets that would bring the whole unholy house down and more. It is no longer a matter of who knew, but all about who ALL the perp's were and it wouldn't be too difficult to join up the dots. 

Public inquiry? Wrong country!

Any decent right minded person would never take a child to watch a match at that horrible place.
How can any parent encourage their children to support a club who would treat children in this way.
If the club in question were to stand up and take responsibility and admit what happened,and repair the damage done to what looks like 100's of young boys.
Why don't they have the dignity and just shut up shop and walk away.
Let the next generation of papes support any team except them,and instead of brainwashing them of tales of the old team,tell them the truth and the dark secrets that have been happening for 50 years.
Just do the honourable thing and go back to the republic to play your football please.
Spare the next generation of embarrassment caused by the shameful actions of a gang of paedophiles.
If this was any other organisation it would have been closed by the authorities,well!!!!!!!!……... except the bbc and the catholic church.
Just do the proper decent thing,and lock the gates and walk away from this vile place.

Can someone please post the link regarding when Cairney abused the boy in America and the celtic directors picked him up in Glasgow airport to protect him?

I can't find a link while searching the DR itself, but here is a link to a story that covers that trip to NJ. ...

https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Shameful+airport+pact+haunts+us+after+5+years;+EXCLUSIVE:+Truth...-a061256232

 

Shameful airport pact haunts us after 5 years; EXCLUSIVE: Truth behind the cover-up.

Link/Page Citation

 

The secret deal which protected a sex pervert for five years was struck in an American airport cafe. 

Hours before celtic Boys' Club were due to fly home, five men sat around a table at bustling Boston airport. 

There they sealed the shameful pact that has haunted them since. 

Frank Cairney - the man who WAS celtic Boys' Club - agreed to resign and a dingy chapter in celtic's history was born. 

A young player had claimed he had been touched sexually by Cairney while in bed. 

Now the other four men who were part of that airport deal, former chairman Jim McNally and officials Bill Gilfillan, John Gallacher and Willie Hampson, have decided to speak about it for the first time. 

They talked to the Daily Record which last week lifted the lid off the sex abuse scandal at the boys club. 

Jim McNally, speaking for all four, said: "Apart from sworn statements to celtic and the police, none of us has ever spoken about what happened. 

"It has been painful and has taken a great toll on all of our lives." 

Players had been staying in the homes of ex-pat celtic fans in Kearney, New Jersey, in 1991 for a showpiece tournament. Two were living with exiled Scot, Pat Brannigan. 

Jim said: "Pat Brannigan told me that a boy had made a serious allegation against Frank Cairney. I interviewed the boy after Pat Brannigan came for me very early in the morning. 

"Pat and his wife Diane were there. I asked a second boy who was also staying at Pat's house to leave the room. 

"The first lad was very distraught. He repeated the allegation of a sexual nature against Frank Cairney. 

"He said it happened in Pat Brannigan's basement where the boys were sleeping. 

"Frank had been staying at a hotel nearby. But it wouldn't have been unusual for him to be in the house because he always went around to where the boys were staying, to make sure they were all right. 

"Initially I found the whole thing hard to believe. I had never experienced anything like that before in my life. 

"I honestly thought and hoped it was horseplay that had got out of hand a wee bit. Immediately I talked to the other three officials. 

"I told them what had happened. We were visiting a theme park that day and I got the senior players together and told them what had happened. They already knew. 

"I asked them if they would keep their eye on this lad until we got things sorted out." 

He continued: "We decided that we would talk to Frank Cairney and we did. He very forcibly, strenuously denied the allegation. He was very angry. He said nothing happened. 

"While we were talking about it, Pat Brannigan arrived and said he had spoken to his lawyer and the police. 

"I also spoke to Pat's lawyer about the procedure and what we would do. 

"I asked him what would happen if the boy made a formal complaint. And what he told me was the real shocker of the whole thing. 

"He said that Frank Cairney would be charged and that the boy, and the other boy who was staying in the house, would be put in protective custody." 

Distraught Jim and the officials were terrified to bring in police in case the boys were taken away from them. 

He said:"I was absolutely shattered about that. There was no way I could have landed at Glasgow Airport and told two sets of parents that their boys weren't there. 

"After that meeting I immediately contacted celtic, but it was the Glasgow Fair and I had a terrible job trying to get a hold of people. 

"I tried Jack McGinn, Jimmy Farrell (celtic directors), but could not get them. I then phoned Sean McMullen and Bobby Creilly, two other boys' club officials. 

"I told them what had happened and I told them of my fear that the boys would be taken into protective custody and that this wasn't for me or even the boy to decide what they should do. I felt his parents should make that decision. 

"This was the Thursday and we were due home on the Sunday. 

"We also booked three tickets to be held just in case the boy wanted home early. 

"I spoke to the lad at regular intervals and he opted to stay at Brannigan's. He seemed to be coping. 

"He continued to play in the tournament. I've always admired the boy and how he coped with all of this. 

"He was only 16 at the time. He actually started officially playing for celtic on the Monday after he returned home." 

Jim McNally didn't call in the police, but Pat Brannigan may have brought them in. Jim said: "If the police interviewed the boy I wasn't aware of it. I think Pat Brannigan felt we weren't handling it correctly. But the reason we handled it the way we did was because I didn't believe it was up to me to decide what to do. 

"Eventually there was a meeting with the boy's parents which Creilly and McMullen had been trying to arrange . 

"We left Kennedy airport, New York, on Sunday, but still there was no word. We stopped over at Boston and this is where it all happened. 

"There was a message at Boston for me to phone home. 

"I was told the meeting had concluded and the outcome was that the boy's parents were quite happy to leave the matter in celtic's hands, provided Frank Cairney resigned from the boys' club on returning. 

"Myself, Willie Hampson, Bill Gilfillan and John Gallacher, the four officials, met in the cafe at Boston airport and we told Frank Cairney what we had been advised. 

"He agreed to resign when he went home. We arrived at Glasgow and went straight to the park. 

"Jack McGinn organised a meeting at 11am with Frank Cairney and a meeting with me at 2pm. 

"At that meeting, he gave me a copy of Frank Cairney's resignation which said he had resigned because he had got promotion in his company and the pressure of work. 

"We were still concerned that we weren't quite covered, so we individually consulted lawyers and collectively spoke to a QC for advice. 

"He asked if we could produce any more boys who could quote incidents from anywhere at any time. But we knew we couldn't do that." 

The deal they had to be part of has left them sad, jaundiced men. All have since left celtic Boys' Club. 

Jim added: "The boy told me what happened. I cannot say what happened. 

"But the parents wanted the boy to get on with his career and get on with his life, once they had been given assurances he was coping." 

He added: "We were never sworn to secrecy. The boy asked us not to talk about it and we respected his wishes." 

Club hotline for victims 

celtic last night set up a counselling service to provide support for families struggling to cope with the trauma of the Boys' Club revelations. 

Announcing the hotline, chairman Fergus McCann said: "celtic Football Club has been receiving many calls from people and families in distress over the alleged incidents. 

"In addition to asking people to report allegations to the police, it is obvious many need advice of trained specialists." 

The support and advice Hotline opens today and will run for a week between noon and midnight. It is costing celtic pounds 5000. 

McCann also offered his support to current officials of the Boys Club. He added: "It is a great pity their good work should be tarnished by these alleged incidents." 

Boys' Club chairman Tony McGuinness said: "The hotline is a very welcome gesture." 

Lorraine Rochford of Network Scotland, who have selected the specialists, added: "celtic Football Club have to be commended for providing this service." 

HOW WE EXPOSED SCANDAL 

The Daily Record exclusively revealed the celtic Boys' Club sex abuse scandal a week ago. 

In a series of exclusive stories, Scotland's No 1 newspaper unmasked Jim Torbett and Frank Cairney. 

We exposed how frightened young players were fondled by the club bosses they trusted. 

We revealed how Cairney lied to a local newspaper with claims he didn't know one of his victims. 

And we told how pervert Torbett was booted out of the club - only to be allowed to return years later. 

After the Record's sensational reports, Torbett was again kicked out by the boys' club. 

And detectives have confirmed that they plan to quiz the wealthy businessman.

Inquiry into celtic sex abuse claims

Saturday 6 April 1996 00:02 


The Independent

Detectives were called in to investigate allegations of sexual abuse on young players at celtic Football Club, it was confirmed last night. Strathclyde Police said a senior detective led an investigation at the club and inquiries were now complete.

A spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that an inquiry has taken place into allegations of sexual abuse of young players at celtic Football Club. However, these allegations have not been substantiated. No report has been forwarded to the procurator fiscal."

It is understood several players and officials at celtic, both in the boys' team and senior club, were interviewed as part of the investigation.

According to reports yesterday, the police were called in by celtic chief Fergus McCann after an internal investigation at the club into allegations of abuse during a boys' club tournament in the United States. It was also reported that further allegations surrounding the boys' club have been made over the past few years.

In a statement last night, Mr McCann said of the police investigation: "This matter is not currently affecting celtic FC. Since the change of control at celtic Park, complaints were made regarding an alleged incident in New Jersey in 1991 involving celtic Boys' Club. Following the Boys' Club's return to Britain one of its officials resigned ... the matter was referred by the club to Strathclyde Police for investigation."

 

Wee Fergus put the deflector shields up immediately - just as the current custodians are doing now.

There is NO level to which this club won't stoop to protect the " good name " of celtic.

celtic called a hastily arranged meeting as the team arrived home from the tournament in New Jersey. At this meeting, Chairman Jack McGinn allowed Frank Cairney to resign his position for ' personal rerasons.'

Why didn't Jack get on the blower to London Rd Cop-shop just along the road?

I think we all know the answer to that one.

The taig are a mutant species and will protect their own no matter the crime to the detriment of everyone, including young innocents.

As for McGinn, just what else is that mutant cunt hiding?

There surely must be enough evidence now  to take this forward to an investigation of CFC and its role in supressing child abuse.

Lets be honest...any normal parent would have torn Cairneys heid aff with their bare hands.... so what kind of parent literally shrugs off knowing their child was raped on the promise the perpetrator is sacked.

For the second time CFC have allowed a Paedophile child abuser to resign for made up "personal reasons"  and failed to call the police 

 

sweep sweep

a club like no other indeed

WHY WOULD EXECUTIVES OF celtic FOOTBALL CLUB ATTEND HASTILY ARRANGED MEETINGS CONCERNING celtic BOYS CLUB PEDOPHILE INCIDENTS/CRIMES?

AND WHY WOULD MCGINN (THE CFC CHAIRMAN) DRAFT THE RESIGNATION LETTER OF A CBC COACH?
