[mrmojorisin 13,608]

Well Done to the Spotlight team for their sterling work in pursuing this 

Keep the comments civil lads

Maybe at long last we will see some justice for these people.

[Drumloyal 14,924]

I sincerely hope the victims finally get justice but those horrible bastards are like fuckin Neo when it comes to dodging bullets, I hope I'm wrong. 

[johanhentze 14,073]

Football rivalry aside.. These victims need justice - for some its too late.. there is no excuse for this - EVER.

[bluenoz 30,689]

The place needs bulldozed.

Tick tock motherfuckers….. ⌛️⚖️

1974: Jock Sten threw P#1 out of parkhead after allegations of sexual abuse.

So how did Stein manage to throw P#1 out of his own club ... a club that apparently had nothing to do with CFC?

First priority is justice for the victims. 

Once the facts are out in the open this rancid club should have the book thrown at them for their continual and heinous cover up and denial of responsibility. 

[They Gnu 11,553]

They must be closed down, a social cancer since 1888. 

[Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,686]

At the end of the day children's lives were ruined by that stinking cesspit of a club and the adults that suffered that need compensation and that place needs shut down permanently. 

[Blue Nosed Babe 20,546]

I hope these survivors get justice. A 25 Pursuer Class Action is shocking and all because the Defender is trying to dodge their duty of care

If the rumours of the number of victims are true that's less than a quarter of the true number that have put the case forward.

I would imagine that the appeal they have made for other victims to step forward will see this figure rise massively.  Usually in these scenarios the actions of one or two brave individuals stepping forward leads to a mass of others given the strength to do so. 
 

I’m sure the fact that the victims need not put themselves through individual court cases will give assurances to many. 
 

I’m not going to revel in what could and should be the demise of that club. Primarily because it should be all about the victims of this horrendous crime finally getting some form of justice.

Football aside, first hope is justice and some form of closure for the victims. Lives ruined by the dozen. 

Secondly, I hope everyone involved or complicit in an ongoing coverup and deflection gets what’s coming to them. 

[GersInCanada 7,775]

This is not a football matter. It would appear that the dam has finally burst on the cover up of decades of child abuse.

A class action is the way to go as many individuals would be reluctant to fight a case on their own.

[AdzKyle 7,832]

Not before time. These poor people need justice. CFC should finally hold there hands up and face their punishment. But we know they won’t. It’s in their DNA to lie, sweep, deny and blame others. 

[ronniescu 2,965]

Have Kelly, McGinn & co. ever appeared in court in relation to any of the convictions to date? 

[Blue Nosed Babe 20,546]

Currently there are 2 test cases in the Court on the separate entity point.

I don't know what that means.

25 individuals pursuing a claim for compensation against Scum FC but doing so as a group rather than 25 individual cases I think.

[Ivybank 4,577]

24 dismissed

1 not proven

carry on

It appears the scum are pinning all their hopes on the “separate entity” lie.

Any decent judge has to see that for the desperate, cynical attempt at abdicating responsibility that it is.

The kids were their bhoys when they won a league or cup but apparently not when a coach in green and white was abusing them.

I think that we can assume that the 25 victims is an opening bid, the final number will be much higher.

[Nameless Ghoul 6,051]

Hope justice is done. Nothing to do with rivalry when children are involved but action is needed so the victims can finally see some kind of closure and support.

Whilst I agree with every word of that sadly I take nothing for granted given what a fucked up little backwater of a country we currently live in .

This will be settled out of court and quietly swept under the rug.
