Police Scotland confirm received report into historic child abuse within football

[B1872 20,718]

The silence from the SFA is deafening especially considering one of their member clubs are being sued for raping children over a 30 year period.

Where is this point scoring accusation meant to be?

We aren't saying "celtic should be punished because they call us Sevco and wanted us demoted... thats us even. Points shared out. One each!"

We are saying "celtic should be punished because they covered up these acts, and allowed him back into club". It is proven in court of law 

It's based on the same logic as it being an offence to sing BJK, but the topic of what he knew goes unchallenged.

Or to call someone a Fenian being an offence despite a group of those very same people calling themselves Fenians (ie McClean this week) or even a Fenian army.

It's about denying the narrative, rather than exploring it.

damages are paltry here in comparison to the US. However, there are dozens coming forward as Thompsons solicitors are fighting a class action suit.

Just seems like £100k is very low considering the lives that were ruined from a very early age, not to mention the families. Is the £100k a cap or is there anyway the victims can get more?

FOLLOWING the conviction of Mr James Torbett at Glasgow Sheriff Court, Celtic Football Club wishes to express our deep regret that the incidents took place and sympathy for the victims who suffered abuse. We are grateful for the courage of those who have come forward to report abuse and to give evidence after such a long period of time. We have great respect for them and their families as they continue to cope with the distressing effects of the abuse they suffered.

Allegations regarding abuse at Celtic Boys’ Club first emerged in the 1990s. Although Celtic Football Club is an entirely separate organisation, we have always taken these allegations extremely seriously because of our historic contacts with Celtic Boys’ Club. All investigations by the police and other inquiries were given our full support. We encouraged any individuals involved to report all information to the police so that matters could be investigated fully. Celtic Football Club continues to encourage any victim of abuse to report these crimes to the police.

After the allegations became known in the 1990s, Celtic Football Club took steps to develop a new code of conduct and procedures to protect young people. Since then, Celtic Football Club has been at the leading edge of putting welfare and safeguarding protections in place for our young people. We were the first club in Scotland to appoint a safeguarding officer, developing policies for the protection of young people and monitoring and reviewing our procedures to ensure they continue to reflect best practice.

The abuse of children is an issue affecting many areas of society, including a large number of football clubs, sports clubs, youth organisations, educational institutions and religious bodies across Britain. Celtic Football Club strongly believes that children and young people involved in football have the right to protection from all forms of harm and abuse and is committed to ensuring this and to promoting their wellbeing through continued cooperation with our children and young people, parents and carers and the relevant authorities.

If any of the victims who reported his abuse leading to him being sacked the first time were to come forward and say they informed the club in 1974...

[chris182 6,297]

I hope the victims are given sufficient reparations. By the same token I hope they bankrupt the corrupt unashamed cunts

"We encouraged any individuals involved to report all information to the police so that matters could be investigated fully"

So you're admitting you knew about it then?? Why not phone the fucking police yourselves & get something done about it??

Fucking unbelievable.

Thing is, point scoring is totally justified in relation to the second crime that was committed, thelong term institutionalised cover up of child abuse.  Let’s be totally clear what the motivation for that crime was, the protection of their self-proclaimed, much vaunted ‘reputation’.  Having spent 130years cultivating the myth of ‘the club created to feed and protect the poor downtrodden catholic community’, the ‘club like no other’, etc  they weren’t going to let anything, not least the little matter of child abuse tarnish the illusion.  There is no argument over it, their greatest ever manager confirmed it in his ‘keep Celtics name clean at all times’ comment.  

When an organisation puts their ‘reputation’ above child safety that pereceived reputation needs to publicly exposed and shredded.  Point scoring is completely legitimate means of doing this.  Of course, their acolytes will continue to try and deflect away from the issue, having spent over 40years covering up heinous crimes to protect their ‘reputation’, you would expect no less.  

We should relentless in our attack of their reputation.  It is what they cherish above all else, the motivation for their crimes, and It deserves to be publicly shredded.  What would Brother Walfrid made of it all, I would ask.

 

Brother Waldorf would have been baw deep in minors too mate,  same as they Kelly bastards and more people at that vile club than will ever be brought to justice
