Adrian Goldberg raising funds for a film on the abuse at Celtic Boys Club

[BlueHaze]

The Record have decided to at least put it out there,How far they will push it home we will see but this man could absolutely drop the bomb.

 

[Gaz030191]

I've added a £5 that I can spare just now. Hope it all adds up.

Currently sitting at £11,902 in 5 days.

 

[RWL12]

I will be going another 12 quid on the 12th hour on the 12th day of July. It's my duty.

Someone creative could develop that further and brighter in a post.

£12 at 12 on the 12th...

Only 300 football fans in the UK need to commit to this and that would be £3,600 pushing it over the line.

If 300 fans want to see justice against child sex abuse.

----

£10 at 10 on the 10th

If 360 ordinary people in this country of 55 million committed to it tomorrow then the target would be passed by 10.01...

Count me in.


(Edit... I see the target is beyond 11, 400 now, but the point stands).

 

[GazzaG]

Less than 100 quid from 12k.

Wee donation from Humza.

 

[NorthSideBlue]

Humza ?

 

[Coisty09]

Can H&H please advise its subscribers about this fundraiser? @David Edgar
Perhaps at the end of the daily update?

 

[GazzaG]

Humza ?

The justice minister who protects paedos.

 

[Humbug]

Less than 100 quid from 12k.

Wee donation from Humza.

Just had an idea, share on twitter big thanks to

@HumzaYousaf


for the donation with a link to
https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-celt...t&utm_campaign=p_email+html_summary_donations

It might gain some traction

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

I know i'm maybe flying against the majority, but the 12th July thing might bring us bad
publicity guys, not sure what others think ?

Might open the door for our haters to have a pop at us being sectarian based ?

Maybe for someone who doesn't use their own name on twitter.

We all know what the demented hordes are like.

 

[BlueMeanie]

Repeat donation to help reach target .

 

[jamcl_jamcl]

A further tenner dropped in just now on top of previous donation.

 

[GazzaG]

I'd rather we try to nail it ASAP Gazza.

It's a big potential breakthrough & a potential embarrassment to Goldberg if it doesn't
happen after him going were the SMSM have not gone.

Additionally, the UK wide angle we've been aiming for is opened up if this goes ahead.

I'm convinced it'll be done by 12 on the 12th.

These things always slow down after the initial flurry, it'll pick up again nearer the target.

There's no way this won't reach the 15k.

 

[Shengus Malengus]

Another wee top up made.

We're getting there.

 

[baselbear]

Now past the £12,000 mark so 80% of the way to the original target.

 

[rangersno1]

Small donation done, thanks for speaking up for the forgotten victims.

 

[ScouseHairline]

Few quid in, wish it had begun a month or two earlier would've been able to give a lot more.

 

[mdingwall]

Over the £12k mark now!

 

[Canada Loyal]

I like your style jf1960

I tried to make a donation of £16.90...oh well, rounded up to £20

 

[BN94]

The fund now sits at just over 12 grand. I’ve been speaking with one of the victims family members this morning and they have asked me to pass on their thanks. They have waited many years for this opportunity due to the failure of the Scottish government and certain media outlets. Let’s have one last push and get them there.

You tell the victim we are humbled by his gratitude and will get this done for him and the many other poor lads who have had to suffer at the hands of the abusers.

 

[unionjock2]

Ill donate tonight and have put it on our bands page too. Hopefully help push it towards the final total.

 

[Nerlinger]

Another donation, hope he doorsteps Hugh Keevins

Good shout UJ.

Anyone who can do as the Baillieston TB did & look to their Supporters Club making a
contribution would be great ?

 

[Port Sunlight Ger]

Let’s get all our Rsclubs on board.Pass message on what’s required
Wirral Rsc guys been all Telt ! For starters

 

[StaunchyAF]

Donation made on behalf of our esteemed First Minister

 

[spotlight]

This is so important. Get this story out there in rest of UK and in US
Saville up here visiting etc, it's incredible to consider.

Once this reaches it's target, Mr Goldberg should approach Netflix. They would perhaps invest extra on to make it into a multi part expose. There certainly is enough material and merit for this to happen.

You could easily make 4 episodes minimum covering the feeder clubs, celtic and their fans, politicians, GCC & police, and the media.

You clearly have little idea how much it costs, and how long it takes, to make these mini-series.
Goldberg will probably make a short (30 mins) max) piece using available footage. He will do some interviews.
He may do some door stepping but there will be no budget for much in the way of production.
What he will do is try and his work on to distributors for cable/online broadcast.
It is at this stage, that if a producer saw a showreel and thought there was mileage, there would be a chance of someone bigger taking it on.
The other route would be coverage of the court cases.
Sometimes that leads to producers picking up on a backgrounder.

 

[High Society]

This is not a criticism specifically of Heart and Hand at all, but the support from some of our highest profile fans who have a far reaching on social media has been evident from the start in relation to this subject.

Again, not a criticism specifically of @David Edgar or the other main names.

It is apparent though that for whatever reason it's not a topic that seems to be on anyones radar.

I wonder why that is, and would be grateful for views from anyone why that might be the case?

Is there a fear as it is a horrific subject?
Is it not something they think their audience is interested in?
Are they just not interested, a non football matter?

Why have none of our fanbase with a wide social media reach supported the victims by using their influence?

Again, just to emphasise I am not seeking to single out any specific poster, show or group.

But I am keen to hear views as by all accounts for some Rangers fans it's as if there is nothing sinister happening at the mentally challengeds at all?

Every single one of our online guys should have this on their site, no excuses.

I don't think you read my full post properly. Where in my post did I show ignaorance for the costs involved.

 

[Jim Smith]

Have put another £10 in and will do so again at the end of the month when I get my pension. We have to keep this going

The target will be met before the month is out.
Not to undermine a very serious issue, I’m having a bit of fun donating under various stupid names. Nothing vulgar though (apart form Humza Stalepiss).

Another couple tonight when I get home.

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

A wee extra fiver - before Lainey threatens me. £12,230.

[DuntocherBear]

Just seen ‘Knew Keevins’ has donated , in all seriousness , him and many others should be strung up for their continued silence, shameful.

 

[possilbear2]

Small donation just made

 

[SSR]

£12,290

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

Ok, another donation imminent, Fat Japanese this time

OK, i'll tell the truth then. Knew Keevins was me

 

[DuntocherBear]

I’d your wanting to donate under a funny name, make sure you contain it under the first name only, surname doesn’t show , hence a fiver donation from Fat, and not Fat Japanese
