The Rhebels take on it this morning, in their story which was 10th from main headline online. No bonus points for spotting any noticeable (injunction forced??) omissions so far ..... James Torbett on trial accused of historic sexual abuse of four young boys. Torbett denies nine offences of sexual abuse allegedly committed between August 1985 and August 1994. One of the offenses is alleged to have taken place at Barrowfield Football Ground in Glasgow’s London Road. A man went on trial yesterday accused of the historic sexual abuse of four young boys. James Torbett, 71, denies nine offences of sexual abuse, allegedly committed between August 1985 and August 1994. Defence QC Tony Graham lodged a special defence of alibi at the High Court in Glasgow in relation to a charge alleged to have taken place between June 1985 and June 1986. Torbett, from Glasgow, is alleged to have first sexually abused the boys when they were aged four, 12, 12, and 13. The offences are alleged to have taken place in a number of locations including Barrowfield Football Ground in Glasgow’s London Road, at Torbett’s home, a dormitory in France as well as training facilities in Glasgow’s west end and factory premises at The Trophy Centre in Pollokshaws, Glasgow. Prosecutor Sheena Fraser said: “The trial is set down for 10 days but it may be less than that.” No evidence has been heard yet. The trial, before judge Lord Beckett, continues.

I dont remember us spending time pegged back in our own camp! Pretty sure we were 75% posession after 30mins. We didnt do enough with our posession but against the run of play is a baffling statement. Until you remember this is scotland, and we are Rangers. Clown media!

I understand a clubs own fans can be their worst critics at times, but I don't get the apparent need for some to only focus in on the negative. We were poor, this was obvious for all to see. But we controlled the majority of the game, just failed to put an end product on it. Their goal shouldn't have happened if we hadn't allowed the guy to ghost past us so easily, but the strike he hit was a cracker and against any other team if he had hit that he'd have scored. But for me we need to be comparative in what we are seeing, poor performances still coming out as 3 points in the bag and keeping us in close contention with the top 6 pack. Last few years we'd have capitulated and probably go on to lose rather than win. So hopefully this can be used as a sign of brighter times if we look at the half full glass rather than the half empty one. thebooler 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This I agree with, but a much broader point than your original point around them scoring against the run of play which is probably where you lost me. I think we're the past the point of expecting such objectivity from mainstream broadcasters - I completely tune out from them now, the Rangers fan podcasts offer a much more balanced view. Heart and Hand being a personal favourite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well when one of the 'add-ons', as you put it, is a commonality with your fellow fans and discussing common opinions of your joint interest with them, why are you therefore on here, when it is one of the 'add-ons' you have just derided! And for many of us it is a lot more than just sport! Most fans of the club with a brain will have the opinion that it means more to them than just sport. Unless when you said 'I have a sense of perspective that reminds me this is only sport', the sport you in fact were meaning was trolling fans of your rival football club on here?

Update: I nearly fell of my chair when I read this a wee while ago. From BBC Scotland website: Youth footballer 'abused' by celtic Boys Club manager An ex-youth footballer has told a court he was sexually abused by a former manager at celtic Boys Club. The witness, who cannot be named and is now in his forties, said James Torbett abused him when he played for the under-14 team. He told a jury at the High Court in Glasgow the incidents took place both at Mr Torbett's flat and in Mr Torbett's car. Mr Torbett denies sexually abusing four young boys. The witness said he would have "run through brick walls for Jim Torbett, done anything he told me to do", and that he made him feel special.
