It's because they are all part of the same cult.It is very sad that Catholicism and Celtc are more important to the Journalists, Media, Politicians and Judicial people in this Country rather than getting the truth out about the abuse of children from the age of 4 years old.
It makes you sick to the pit of your stomach.
McNeill said it was an open secret around the club.
You have to wonder, just exactly how many Scottish football journalists would have known about this?
As you say if this scumbag had nothing to do with CFC why did Stein get involved, easy enough to contest but the problem is nobody has the balls to mention it.Torbett must have been mightily confused being kicked out of a club by the manager, when he apparently had absolutely no connection to said club.
Liewell is scum.
They will find someone with some tenuous link to us so they can make it out to be a Scottish football issue and not, as it is, a Celtic issue.
If they were different organisations why did Jock Stein kick Torbett out?Why would chairman and directors like Kevin Kelly & Jack McGinn get involved in a cover up over Frank Cairney?
More like the politicians and msm will close ranks and protect themJust about to post this, Pandora’s box will be opening up soon
It's just hard to believe that this actuallty took place but the fact remains it did.
So big jock kicked Torbett out (that's the story i keep hearing anyway)
Then a few years later he seems perfectly at ease presenting him with an award when he obviously knew of his sordid past.
Astonishing.
No more reminiscences from celtic about the 'quality street' kids from the 70s?!nope nothing to do with celtic.
Your point about the NDA’s is an interesting one. I almost no legal expert but NDA’s surely should not stand up in face of the legal and criminal repercussions.They know that they are going to get hammered over this. This is a UK national scandal and Liewell will not be able to control the narrative.
Victims signed Non Disclosure Agreements but who with?
Was it the boys club or was it the senior clubs representative? The answer to this could prove a vital link dispelling the absurd notion that they are not linked.
I don't know if it is possible to hold somebody to such an agreement if it is to cover up a crime?
I would imagine any non disclosure agreements are a civil matter.They know that they are going to get hammered over this. This is a UK national scandal and Liewell will not be able to control the narrative.

My thoughts too it’s pretty common knowledge that Stein knew and sacked him but crucially did not inform the police. So why did Stein in effect cover up a crime? Equally I’m sure it was published that McNeil knew too and again didn’t report this to the police (not 100% on that one but something tells me that was published). Brazil’s book is fairly open about it also he at least was open about it.
That mob have like the RC church covered this up for years and in the secessionist republic it will remain covered up. It’s a horrible crime and the perpetrators should be jailed.[/QUOTW
Stein was nothing but the hired help.
Explain to me how Stein could hire or fire anyone at the scum hut without the Whytes, the Grants and the Kellys knowing why and what for?
Any normal person,certainly a father as Stein was,should have rattled that award right over his nonce skull.Questions have to be answered. Why was he giving a known sex case awards and smiling for pictures with him?It's just hard to believe that this actuallty took place but the fact remains it did.

Surely these agreements do not supersede law. Surely if a murderer pays someone to keep a thin, they have a legal obligation to speak up?Nothing to do with celtc
As reported in Scotland on Sunday at the time, it was agreed, by Brady, the boy and his parents and the Celtic board of directors, that the police would not be informed. Signed statements were taken by Celtic's lawyers from the four adults who had been on the New Jersey trip. All were sworn to silence. The aforementioned Hugh Birt claimed he was concerned about the behaviour of both Cairney and Torbett and raised the matter with Stein. Before he knew it Birt was forced to resign by Celtic Chairman Kevin Kelly.

Exactly who inside Celtic Park gave the ok for a convicted bheast to get his job back knowing fine well he would prob strike again.
The Birt affair is shameful and surely rules out the ‘Celtc were not involved,’ excuse.Before he knew it Birt was forced to resign by Celtic Chairman Kevin Kelly.
That would I suppose be the same Kevin Kelly who had open business links with Torbett?
The scale of this shit is truly unbelievable. It’s like Spotlight.And what about this guy https://spidercatweb.blog/2017/04/14/celtic-school-teacher-csa-paedo/
And still 60000 people who all know fine well turn up each week
these people and the wider silent fan base by these actions or lack of condone what has gone on.

My money on Father Burns
Celtic Football Club need to be punished for this as they were quick to align themselves to ‘the Boys Club’ way back in the 70’s. They were very close.....if you pardon the pun.
As a club they need to make a statement as well as the SFA.
Surely there won’t be a revelation from one of The Quality Street Kids?
What would you expect Rangers statement to say out of interest?
In fairness to the bunnet, he seems to have been the one, who alongside Macari, brought this to light.The bunnet was only at the scum hut come March 1994.
He made Fr Burns the manager when he sacked Macari. This was July 1994.
Fr Burns first, would be first appointment, would have been Frank Cairney.
When apprised of this move the bunnet summoned Burns to his office and said to Burns, in words to the effect; If you bring that person back to Parkhead, I'm sacking you.
This 'story/recount was told to me a year after the fact.
Anyone reading this can believe it or they can choose not to. It's up to them.
I will not give up the person who told me, and it came verbatim from someone at the cesspit.
All I will say is I told GS this exact same story back 23 years ago, and I will maintain it another 23 years from now.
Celtic Statement:
Would the Boston cops investigate properly. Given the demographic, I have my doubts.Given the continued cover up that has gone on with these allegations and the fact that the authorities in Scotland seem to have no desire to, or are being prevented from, investigating in full, then maybe the involvement or informing the Kearney Police department or New Jersey Police will force Police Scotland to take the required action and bring these alleged perpetrators to justice.
The allegations of signing of letters preventing disclosure of crimes on USA soil will not be ignored by the authorities in the USA and given the impartiality and monies generated in the media industry over there, some media outlets might be interested in the historical allegations given what they weren't afraid to report in the past.
Embarassing Nicola might be the only way to achieve closure on these horrific events that have blighted Scottish football.
I have deliberately used allegation(s).
Boston....last place in the USA you'd want to investigate Roman peado activities over here !!Would the Boston cops investigate properly. Given the demographic, I have my doubts.
Ring leader.........obvious pun....but yes....he takes over the business even there's no association...KK...now this is one shady feckin character.
I do wonder.
He probably thinks the same for Jimmy Saville.The excuses have started already:
Lets not waste the prosecutor fiscal and the courts time folks, back then it was just kiddie fiddling and real men wouldn't have said anything about it cos it was fine.
What a filthy, mhanky, fucking tramp.
"King also worked at Torbett’s company, the Trophy Centre, but denies being close to him"And what about this guy https://spidercatweb.blog/2017/04/14/celtic-school-teacher-csa-paedo/
