Bears r us 30,772 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I wonder who will be doing this and I smell a kop out here somewhere. From BBC Scotland: The Scottish Football Association is to set up an "independent review" of child abuse allegations in football. Several former players have come forward to say they were abused by people in positions of authority. The SFA said it wanted to reassure people that football was a "safe and enjoyable environment for children". It said the review would focus on "processes and procedures" in place both currently and historically in Scottish football. This is a breaking news story - more to follow.

BlueAvenger 10,208 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Probably an independent review by the SFA's Lawwell and will exclude one club........!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCRobertson 11,771 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 If the independent review on the hampden invasion is anything to by then it's going to be a long wait. With the results being "it's in the past". Seen this tweet earlier mind you Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears r us 30,772 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 I just wonder why it is being called a 'review' rather than an 'inquiry' and will it be an 'independent review' ?? EDIT: I see it does say 'independent review' when I read it again, but I still think this will be a toothless exercise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
standup 829 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Review means We see our mistakes now and will take steps to improve. Thats the end of the matter, now move on. What about an actual investigation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy1984 6,314 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Surely it could only start at a certain club and be taken from there? Won't hold my breath though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,526 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Don't expect any punishments to come from the 'review' though, so much as learning points and making sure it can't happen again. To be fair, that is the most important thing. But justice for victims is important too. Not to mention that one of the best ways to make sure it doesn't happen again is to deal properly with people and organisations that covered things up.

Is he investigating clubs who covered up abuse.......... No, no, that would be real journalism, and as we know, this guy is just a typical lazy amateur Scottish media type. He has apparently 'found out' that 2,500 youth football coaches in Scotland have not had the required background checks carried out by Disclosure Scotland. No doubt someone leaked this info to him while he was sitting around trying to think how he can continue to avoid mentioning Celtic in any of his 'stories'.

I noticed the reporting on this story tonight was interesting, some said review and others said enquiry My guess is this was concocted by the two people at the top of the SFA committee who would be concerned about a full enquiry.

DMax399 3,689 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 The SFA and all clubs who have been implicated by recent (and historical) allegations should be investigated by a 3rd party. Anything less, is unacceptable and will not be fit for purpose. In addition, those found to have knowingly withheld information of abuse from the Police should be prosecuted. I doubt this will happen, but I will reserve judgement until the appropriate time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 The Scotsman saying that the SFA are bowing to 'pressure' to conduct an independent review. There should be no need to pressure them into investigating these allegations, in fact, it should have been done four decades ago. Swift action by the SFA in the 60's may have prevented other paedophiles at football clubs from molesting children. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chepooka 126 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 This is a review into "processes" and "proceedures" not an inquiry. Anyone who calls it an inquiry is being deliberately misleading. Check this out as it comes up and you'll soon see its the usual suspects.

Craigyboy9 416 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Heard Smudger on radio Scotland tonight, talking specifically about clubs who had taken action but not contacted the authorities therefore allowing these sick fucks the chance to continue with their vile perversions. Well Done Gordon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even they are not all singing from the same hymn sheet, Ms Bird said 'review' and then Weevel in his report said 'enquiry'. It is the normal fuck up by the SFA.

Copland bear 7,966 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Let's hope they get investigated as it looks like they covered things up too along with Celtic and Hibs. Neeley would have been nowhere near Ibrox or football if Hibs had done the decent thing and got the police. Any club found guilty of covering it up should be relegated to the bottom tier and all first team squad sold and the money given shared between all the abuse victims. If anyone thinks that is harsh then to be honest the club should be shut down regardless of size Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
