Saw that mate and it is good to know that. Doesn't change the fact that national broadcasters are presenting the fallacy as a fact. It's disgraceful reporting. They ain't saying 'Celtic claim....', it's being put out there as fact!Check 35,788 by BN94.
Spotlight have written evidence to support this, as always.

Totally agree with this, yet victimised fc will claim the trial was prejudiced against them once it starts getting played out in the mediaThe point is why are Sky reporting this as a fact when it is central to the law suit? Who is feeding them that line? It is hugely prejudicial to the case that this is bring broadcast on national TV and radio.
Thanks for your efforts mate and best of British with legal hearings.Understand your point, but they’ve been in their pocket for years.
An objective judge will have a different view in our opinion.

Think I might take this up with Ofcom. They are reporting about a law suit involving CSA and are pushing views prejudicial to the case. It's massively irresponsible if not prejudicial. They are professional journalists and must surely be aware of that.
Nonsense. Damages have already been paid to one claimant. The precedent has already been set, and the evidence is overwhelming.I wish them the best of luck.
But there’s no way in the cesspit of Scotland that this ends in damages paid.
Not just swept it away, maybe even surpressed itFrom Donalda McKinnon to Steve Carson, those that have run BBC Scotland who have swept news just like Celtic FC, have no morals. To sweep news like this shows you their professionalism, or lack off. A disgusting organisation with history of this behaviour.
Nice work there. You obviously know your stuff. Good luck with it.Complaint sent to Ofcom.
On 5/10/21 Sky News broadcast a report about a pending class action law suit in which multiple victims of child sex abuse will seek redress from Celtic Football Club.
Several senior associates of Celtic Boys Club, which Celtic FC claims to be a "separate entity' have already been convicted of offences relating to the child abuse that took place. The football clubs' 'separate entity' claim is highly contentious and the victims' pursuit of redress is likely to hinge on the courts' view of the evidence to substantiate or disprove their claim.
I was therefore shocked that Sky News concluded their TV report of the pending legal action with a statement to the effect that there is 'no affiliation" betwen Celtic FC and the Celtic Boys' Club. This prejudicial message is highly irresponsible and must have dismayed the child sex abuse victims who now seek legal redress.
It is a message Sky subsequently reinforced via their twitter feed with an article that commenced ;
"A number of senior figures at Celtic Boys Club, which was not officially connected to Celtic FC, have been jailed for sexual abuse".
Given the gravity of the pending law suit, I expect a national broadcaster to demonstrate awareness of the potential impact of their words and perspectives.
I am requesting that OFCOM investigate this matter. In my opinion, Sky should broadcast and publish a fullsome apology to the abused victoms of this scandal. They should also be forced to retract their statements relating to the denial of a relationship between Celtic and Celtic Boys Club as this will be tested in the courts as a crucial element of the pending law suit.
Broadcasters have a duty of care to victims of such grave offences to endure their reporting is accurate, balanced and sympathetic to the suffering the victims have already endured. It should not be prejudicial to legal proceedings.
Want to give this more that a like, well worded and to the point that these supposed journos are treading a fine line in the hope to get the scum off it on technicalities, cap doffed @Born a Barras HickComplaint sent to Ofcom.

To busy telling his son not to testify.Wonder if we'll see a more "in depth" follow up documentaries from daly,thomson and goldberg once this is over....tell the real story behind the abuse.
There should be many a journalist and politician hanging their heads in shame at ignoring the victims pleas for justice.
P.s...anyone got a reaction from dornan on this news ,it's close to home!
It’s a report by the PA, meaning that it will be used by outlets other than Sky.The point is why are Sky reporting this as a fact when it is central to the law suit? Who is feeding them that line? It is hugely prejudicial to the case that this is being broadcast on national TV and radio.

Missed that mate. Still they have an editorial responsibility to check the basic facts that they broadcast to the nation. Thanks for the heads up though. I'll expect that to be used to imply that Sky were not responsible. I won't let them off that easily.It’s a report by the PA, meaning that it will be used by outlets other than Sky.
The wording is certainly strange for this type of article and I’d have expected something like “lawyers for Celtic claim” to have been added.
A World Wide disgrace that would even disgust the Devil in Hell .More than 200,000 children sexually abused by French Catholic clergy, damning report finds

Members of the Catholic clergy sexually abused more than 200,000 minors in France over the last seven decades, a survey carried out as part of an independent probe into abuse within the church estimates, according to the head of the commission that produced the report.edition.cnn.com

Ah. Fantastic mate. I'll make use of that down the line. Many thanks.They all are forgetting the passage in the SFA whitewash, sorry, report regarding shared heritage.
Shared heritage'
Celtic Boys Club also featured in often distressing personal accounts of sexual abuse.
Celtic FC has previously said that while it shares "historic contacts" with the boys club, the two are separate organisations.
But the review concludes: "If the relationship and history between the youth football club and the senior club was so shared, so close, and so inextricable then when sexual abuse of young players formed part of the history of one then it too formed part of the history of the other.
"A shared heritage is not confined to trophies, victories and celebration. It also extends to defeats, failures, and deficiencies."
I am sure this, and the barrowload of other discovered, connected evidence, will be highlighted when the time is right.

Outstanding post mate. You are correct, with every word.On another thread recently I regrettably had a bit of a let’s say disagreement with a nationalist openly.
I don’t usually lower myself to their level but sometimes like you say they make your blood boil.
To put nationalist votes before humanity is criminal. They have let down each and every victim and family member and I hope that’s what they are remembered for along with their other failures.
I love my country. I fought for it, but I hate what it has become. It breaks my heart if the truth be told.
I’ve held and aimed a rifle. I never thought I’d want to do that in my own country. We need to rid Scotland of this poison.
It seems a bit strange that Chris McLaughlin from the BBC should attempt to report upon this matter in a rather understated manner, which attempts to direct us towards the corporate and administrative distances between Celtic FC and Celtic's Boys Club.
It is probably not so so strange when we consider the following:

Might be worth asking Sky the same questions sir, have they Sky, decided there was no affiliation, or were they told that. In which case could they balance up their claims by saying, the victims of the abuse refute that claim, and CBC was indeed affiliated to Celtic FC.Complaint sent to Ofcom.

Just looking at that, there are four I know of straight off the bat who made it as pros, yet aren’t listed there.The Celtic wiki
The list was of boys who made it professionally
All I can assume is that it's only going to go one way with them now reporting on this as there is no way to wriggle away from it any more.I appear to have woken up in a parallel universe today. First the DR reporting this and now it's on the BBC.
Celtic to face 'class action' over Boys Club abuse
%^*& all will happen.
I understand where you are coming from but they can just no comment the police. As is their right.Crimes have been committed against children over many years and many knew what was going on and did and said nothing and went as far as to cover incidents up and further enable these abusers to continue. Some at the club even took directorships in P#1s trophy company and then rewarded themselves by giving a contract to P#1s business to supply CFC with his tacky plastic trinkets and reaped the rewards while knowing full well what was going on at CBC.
These men must be pulled in and interviewed by the police under caution.
They dont get anywhere near 60k every game..You can almost understand their deluded, denial ridden stance with football related matters, the worst of sore losers exist in any walk of life.
I have never been able to grasp that there are 60k pond-life that fill a stadium every week, KNOWINGLY supporting a club and the people who want to forcefully, cover up a VIP paedophile ring purely to continue to see a daft football team compete for titles.
No title or club is worth putting before the wellbeing of children who are now scarred adults, it's absolutely harrowing.
It’s 100% the lesbian turner! This guy is as dangerous as they come - an utter scum bag. He is vile!As BN94 says, we do not know if it is the same McLaughlin.
In a wholly private capacity, however, I am a suspicious that a Chris McLaughlin should complain to IPSO regarding the Sun newspaper's publication of an article that referred to a CBC abuser as "Celtic coach".
It could be a remarkable coincidence that a guy called Chris McLaughlin, who happens to be a reporter, who rather randomly supports Celtic and who works for the BBC, today attempts to create a bit of a distance between Celtic FC and Celtic FC's Youth Team.
I am happy to apologise to every non biased, honest Scottish reporter named Chris McLaughlin

Semantics, his point still stands. How could anybody support that club knowing the evil that's been carried out there and Celtic's point blank refusal to acknowledge it and take responsibility for it?They dont get anywhere near 60k every game..
We are talking about the pay at the gate club here ye know!!With regards to payslips proving that Torbett etc were paid employees of celtic. Even without them tax records could prove who employed them and dates.
Most Worrying thing is relying on an objective judge. They’ll no doubt be machinations behind the scenes to make sure whoever is appointed is ‘sympathetic’ to celtics cause.Understand your point, but they’ve been in their pocket for years.

Thanks for that input. Let’s all just Fck off then and shut the thread. I’ll contact the victims today and tell them they’re wasting their time and we’ll let Celtic walk away unscathed.%^*& all will happen.
