“What can I do to help tidy up this awful mess Pedro”Dornan has tweeted saying he is contacting Lawwell today re the bheasts
Here's what i expect them to pull.
Remember the name change in 1994 ????
Penn state have paid out upwards of $100 million now.
Not too dissimilar in that there were rumours and signals but those in charge chose to do nothing.
If theres not a similar outcome with Celtic it really does put a signal out to the world, Scotland is a relatively safe place to be a paedophile.
You're talking fans who sign songs in praise of men that have murdered children, blown up foetuses, butchered those at Remembrance Services etc. etc - what's a few hundred more innocent lives to be ruined to them?Celtic's attitude and actions in all of this have been utterly disgusting.
Even the most rabid in their support will surely recognise what's happening here eventually.
Pacific Shelf?!
Punitive damages are not available in Scotland. So that won't happen unfortunately. I seen a post that compensation for inflicted PTSD can range from £40k - £88kPenn state have paid out upwards of $100 million now.

Yes.
It changed from "The Celtic football and Athletic Company"
to
"Celtic Football club"
you know where im going
“Goodbye paradise(boak)” seems like a good start. Pictures say 1000 words.
Graham Spiers will be having a word decrying the point scoring from his boss.
Some of the abuse took place on a tour in the USA, take the case there and the damages do through the roof.Punitive damages are not available in Scotland. So that won't happen unfortunately. I seen a post that compensation for inflicted PTSD can range from £40k - £88k
Which means they would have to deny the 1967 cup win...
Celtic don't own the stadium - ownership was transferred to Willie haughey a number of years ago - wonder why?“Goodbye paradise(boak)” seems like a good start. Pictures say 1000 words.
This is potentially the card which will damage them most. They are continuing tRemember, some of these victims and their families are on record as saying they were strongly warned by Celtic not to take matters further at the time because it would tarnish the reputation of the club (CFC, not the boys club...)
I'd say its check mate against Celtic now, they either admit accountability or it goes to court and all their dirty secrets get aired.
Either way, I think this will cost them millions in compensation and to the damage to their "reputation"... Also, no chance Lawell is surviving this.
Yup. Can only hope the states gain traction. I think its the only hope we have of seeing really justice served unfortunately.Some of the abuse took place on a tour in the USA, take the case there and the damages do through the roof.
that will be part of a concert act to play this out with some token gesture so people can wash their hands and say 'we dealt with it'Dornan has tweeted saying he is contacting Lawwell today re the bheasts

Nope.Celtic's attitude and actions in all of this have been utterly disgusting.

It worries me that they are giving them months to admit liability.
I hope their case is as strong as they are making out.
To be fair the majority on the huddleboard are demanding that the club take responsibility and apologise.You're talking fans who sign songs in praise of men that have murdered children, blown up foetuses, butchered those at Remembrance Services etc. etc - what's a few hundred more innocent lives to be ruined to them?
Their case is as strong as this: were Celtic Football Club aware of the child abuse at Celtic Boys Club?
The answer to that is a resounding yes because we know Torbett was removed from his position as the head of the Boys Club by people within the Football Club.
Torbett was then later re-employed by people within the football club to resume his role at the Boys Club in full knowledge of that earlier abuse whereupon, wouldn’t you just know it, he resumed abusing kids again too.
It’s going to take a highly skilled lawyer of considerable moral turpitude to help them wriggle out of this and cheat the victims out of their rightful justice, but then this is 21st century Scotland so I guess that is a distinct possibility.

Why even bother looking in then .%^*& all will happen.
