Alex Thomson Ch4 - Investigating Celtic Boys Club

What's going on with Alex Thomson, has he suddenly unearthed a moral compass and a backbone?
He's going to need protection from the unwashed hordes.

must have got his wings clipped, moved on from the deadly serious business of legal tax avoidance schemes to the trivialities of lives ruined by child sex abuse rings at torbett towers.

whatever has happened to him, its about bloody time!
 
Hopefully more will wake up and address this massive abomination of injustice to those youngsters that were abused. To those that knew and did not act, words fail me.
 
How can a club be sorry and knowingly re-employ a convicted child abuser? That statement is a very narrow apology (If you can call it that ) It does not address the bigger picture of what has been happening at their club for decades involving several men employed by celtic fc who have been convicted of child abuse crimes.
 
“On the specific reference to Celtic FC, one of many clubs referenced in the final report, the Review in actual fact states clearly that the club has gone to great lengths to address any past contacts between the club and Celtic Boys Club - and have done so effectively. This is welcomed by the Review and welcomed within the review.


Warning signs from this rhat that is absolutely unbelievable and this needs addressed,this guy only acted because he was backed in a corner.
 
Sorry if its already been asked but whens the second part on tonight?

Not that im sure i can stomach it tbh. That first part when they were interviewing the scum bag really got to me tbh. The way he shows absolutely no remorse and actually laughs at parts truly sickened me.

These bastards will never get the punishment they really deserve. Lets hope at least the victims can get some closure.

Seems clear to me that the SFA report is going to highlight how many other clubs fell victim to these beasts and will, incredibly, hold up the Dhims handling of such issues as exemplary.
 
How many other clubs referenced in the report operated a paedophile ring for thirty years and on at least one occasion, knowingly employed a paedophile?

Partick admitted allegations of abuse caused the sacking a member of staff in 1982. They reported it to police and Scottish FA in 2016.


Motherwell employed the same guy and another member of their staff was jailed for abusing children.


Falkirk and Hibs both employed Jim McCafferty after he left Celtic and allegations had been passed to the police.

 
It would not surprise me if the SFA had a load of skeletons in their closet r.e child abuse.

Think every club and every FA on the planet will probably be involved in some way when you see the scale of child abuse from back then

People thinking this will be some wee group who operated between a few clubs will be in for a shock

This is standard self protection policy for all RC institutions, any investigations will ALWAYS be a whitewash

Yes, great lengths indeed!

They renamed them St Patrick's Sports Academy in an attempt to distance themselves from the name "Celtic Boys' Club" They wanted to disown them like the bastard child of an incestuous family!

This statement clearly shows the Review are intent on protecting Celtic come hell or high water! It is
the clearest indication yet that the authorities don't have the balls to take Celtic to task.

That statement is also an affront to the victims that suffered at the hands of the paedophile ring operating out of Celtic Park.

The Review have now shown their hand, and this statement needs to be met head-on!

Very worrying isn’t it.
 
This is dynamite stuff folks but we must not let it rest with this expose on channel4. There must be no wriggle room for Shame FC and they must be brought to book.

We need to keep the boot on the throat here, in 21st century Scotland they are right to think this will all just blow over, let's make sure it does not.

The victims deserve ultimate justice for these heinous crimes which were committed in full knowledge of the Celtic FC. The consequent cover up and lies is what needs exposed more than anything.

Disgusting.

To be honest mate, I think it's running away from the sfa. That character looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights last night.

The cross border abuse has took it up another level and now we have the supreme court.
 

Shocking statement from the SFA. An independent inquiry (from a body outside of Scotland) needs to be demanded now.

They'd have been more accurate stating ... “The efforts of the Review team are completely focused on protecting CELTIC FC, we don't care about young people or learning from the past to make football a safe place for children and young people.”
 
Ooooft ...Mckenna shoots up in my estimation. He'll not be getting into heaven now, not if his Church has anything to do with it ! Pretty clear what has happened in the RC Church has spread across society's nooks and crannies wherever their web of influences reaches.
ps McKenna must have realised there is no hiding the scandal this time. Getting some big blows in first to make up for his own personal years of silence. The dominos are going down.
