Also the bit I found so strange is that even though everything he has allegedly gone through, he is a season ticket holder..!! 

Brazil still supports the tarriers....

No coincidence that this story goes out the same day as that cunts in court.

[Malkster 4,878]

Nice try timmy, but we see right through your scummy subterfuge  

[Captain Hilts 12,819]

The current owners should be taking responsibility over the claim. What a disgusting way to treat the guy.

Was a rhetorical question mate

It was a rhetorical answer too

[TheGovanIniesta 1,000]

Emailed that fatty Pat Mair from Talk Now who is in the article spouting her pish purely so she reads it and knows shes a stoater

No doubt get no reply since it details the difference between sacking and reporting someone who abused a position of trust and running a child sex ring and covering it up for decades

Her ambassador is some shitey actor from River City who's a rabid taig, it really isn't hard to join the dots

[ritchieshearercaldow 22,137]

Bottom line, this so called Bear is looking for cash, not justice.

The club did the right thing at the time by informing the police, what more could they do ?

It’s deflection pure and simple, why have Hivs not been approached if they knew about him before he moved to us ? That’s where the guilt lies.

[2nd Flute 14,036]

Top story on BBC Scotland news there, looks like they'll milk this one as much as they can.

Whoever penned that statement for Rangers should be shown the door.  It is terrible PR to be in any way defensive in such matters and missed an open goal to take the higher ground and call for a full open investigation of the conduct of all clubs in dealing with child abuse claims.

I agree mate. The statement is fuckin awful. 

[RS4_wul 4,110]

 bbc scotland have been saving this for a rainy day.......... torbett is in court today. Couldn't be more obvious.

They really are a shower of rancid bastards, deflection tactics in full flow.

It's what they do.....utter scum.

Previously reported....

 

***** A statement from the Ibrox club said: "Rangers is now aware of an alleged incident involving an individual who worked very briefly for the club more than 25 years ago.

“It’s understood the individual was dismissed immediately and that the police were informed.

"Rangers wishes to stress that all employees adhere to the strictest codes of conducts, especially when dealing with children and young people" ****

An old DR article with Rangers response to what could be the same individual.

This appears to be a different story from that DR report.    "Spoken to inappropriately" is a far cry from what is being suggested in today's story.  

Legally RIFC is not responsible for what occurred under RFC (2012) Plc but the main complaint should be against Hibs as they were aware of Neely's depravity and Rangers weren't.    We sacked Neely for "speaking inappropriately" as that was all that we were aware of at that time.   Hibs were aware of much worse.

The Club needs to come out with a more detailed statement about abuse and  demand an all-out enquiry at ALL clubs about historic abuse and what was known by whom and what was or in some cases wasn't reported to the authorities at the time.   With so many cases awaiting trial regarding the tims affiliated boys club there is possibly little which can be said at this time until such cases have been completed.

[kaiser1041 9,088]

Let’s rid and expose all these bastards it’s very obvious on the timing and reasons for these articles but let’s get behind a full investigation into abuse in Scottish football anyone who hasn’t been held accountable needs to caught and made to face the music

I'm not sure this is the same case.    Your last paragraph is spot on as is your first.

[Brian Fantana 28,894]

how much compensation have the bheasts paid out?

[Sparkle 53,557]

Top of the BBC Scotland news webpage Full Liewell agenda in swing. You couldn't make it up.

Also listened to the radio news there, he is "disappointed there's been no apology" although he has been offered Counselling and full support by Rangers.

Its horrible this happened to him, but I'm not sure what Rangers has to apologise for now, given it was dealt with entirely correctly with the full knowledge of his father at the time.  It's not as if it was covered up in any way. If it's money he is after then maybe his  legal team should be pursuing hivs as they allowed the beast to continue to be employed with access to youngsters.

This isn't whataboutery, if we had done wrong I'd be at the front with my pitchfork and so would most of us, unlike the fans of other clubs, but I'm really not seeing any wrongdoing on Rangers part here.

 

[Colin Traive 22,741]

The key here is detail. The taigs are good at this forensic nitpicking whereas we seem to feel that a broad unspecific statement is enough. They play dirty and they play it well. We need to be prepared to stand our ground

Horrific if true.

Let's not play whataboutery.

Police informed, check.

Now let's ensure this and every instance at every club are probed fully and the findings of police investigations about the bastards who commit such acts and the worse bastards and scum at clubs who concealed or facilitated such acts are highlighted. And hammered.

If anyone at Rangers was guilty they deserve punished. As do Rangers if they didn't report it, retained the abuser in employment, or paid off victims / families and allowed such conduct to continue.

Let's get this all out there rather than be Scotland's shame. For every club in Scotland. Every detail whilst protecting the identity of the complainer. 

yes, I agree.

However, The statement from the clubs lawyers was terrible. The statement should have said police were contacted - end of. to dismiss it as "new/old company" is a shocking way to go about it - and thats what made the headline. That being said, this is an allegation that now cant be proved or the person brought to trial because the guy is dead. At the moment it is one mans word.

But again, we seem to handle this all so badly and make things worse.

[Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,686]

If David suffered child abuse at our club then he is entitled to compensation and those involved or who knew  should be punished. Child abuse of any level cannot go on in our society and needs stamped out.

He wants money we can't pay to him because it isn't their issue, he was told who to contact, that's the advise we have been given by legal advisors

It's not that hard to understand

Because Torbett is in court and they need 3 stories to deflect attention onto us, that's literally it

The article says nothing wrong about us, we had the perfect mix of abiding by the law, advising and supporting the victim and stressing that these sort of issues should be exposed while not letting agendas interfere, that's all the article says

It's that or pay him money he isn't owed and say we were in the wrong before it's fully investigated and done by the book, bewildering that there's actually taigs running with this today

[Captain Hilts 12,819]

The sick cunt was sacked and the police were contacted immediately, and the club's lawyers have presumably followed the correct procedure directing the guy to the creditors to make a claim. Legally, the club have done nothing wrong. 

The current owners should still be showing the guy support though and should be dealing with his claim themselves.
