Celtic face threat of multimillion pound compensation claim(The Times)

Some of the responses to the lawyer tweets are breathtaking. I hope I'm never at the stage of life when keeping the 'good name' of a football club is more important than acknowledging the abuse of children.

It's staggering.

It highlights the hypocrisy and twistedness of a support who consistently moralise and proclaim themselves as seekers of social justice.

Social media makes my skin crawl, at times.

The joint FA and SFA cross border investigation into links between Bennell, Torbett/ McCafferty, Higgins, Ormond may throw up an even bigger scandal than the 6 beasts already convicted in Scotland

If more victims feel strong enough to report abuse then this scandal may drag out for some time to come

I still believe the police in England and Scotland should be driving any investigation as further criminal acts may be been committed and the footballing authorities may be best to stay out of the way

Given the SFA previous history on CSA I have zero trust they will do anything about the abuse

The SFA / SPFL will not isolate the Peasants for punishment, despite their horrific behaviour and subsequent cover-up. What happened at the Boys Club and the Piggery will be deliberately placed within the remit of any wider umbrella review, consultation paper or report on the abuse of minors in Scottish football. Lessons must be learned, etc, for future reference, blah de blah. We know how they work.

And here we have the very Rod MacKenzie who was shouting at a meeting at Hamden that Rangers had cheated his team for years.
All the while he had no shame coming out with that whilst actually knowing kids had been abused at his club.
He was happy to pay Scott shut up money to protect his club. Rhat

McKenzie is a scumbag - I heard McCoist had to be held back from kicking his fxxking head.
 
It is simply staggering the level of contempt celtic fans are showing to victims of this crime on social media.

The convictions put to bed the notion that it didn't happen. But there is a refusal by the bheast hordes to acknowledge that. It's staggering.

The fact that widespread condemnation isn't evident just shows how fickle and inbred the rest of Scottish football is. But, I do get that it is a horrible subject, unlike tax which everyone and their uncle was happy to wade into and discuss. It's an uncomfortable thing to really talk about.

Unfortunately the victims are fighting against this subject being taboo, nobody really wants to be talking about it but the bheats are taking advantage of that and trying to control the story.

The fact that celtic fans are taking advantage of that at the detriment of the victims is appaling. Adult lives ruined and they don't give a toss. People dying and they don't give a toss.

They really don’t get this at all
They think everybody is after money, it must be their schooling
I’m sorry , but if god forbid, anything like this happened to me, then the last thing I would be looking for is money
I would be wanting the justice system to bring everybody involved to trial including those who covered it up
I would want those found guilty to be given prison sentences to reflect their involvement
That is the only way I would find closure, knowing every last one of them was paying a price with their freedom
Don’t get me wrong, I believe they should also be made pay financially but
First and foremost I would want them in a court of law

Am 40 now and maybe speak to 2 celtic fans who are decent and only interested in the football 1 is actually a unionist who hates the green brigade




Growing up had a wide circle of friends from socialising playing for football teams etc.



Post 2012 it went beyond banter and rivalry and seen a side to a lot of guys i considered friends show their true colours, cut them out my life because the shit they spoke posted on social media




Remember my old tradesman who absoluteley detested them and wouldnt talk to guys (mentally challengeds) at work unless he had to



Well one day he said to me when talking about Celtic fans you can never trust - them 19th Century Terrorist bastards will always be 19th Century Terrorist bastards



He was right haha

I am disgusted by their stance CB. This isn't about point scoring for me. It's about this horrific chapter in their existence staying in the public eye until Ceptic accept responsibility for the cover up, until those responsible for the cover up are named, shamed and ideally prosecuted and until their victims are suitably compensated. If that means additional focus on the matter being brought by the production of a banner then I would condone the production of one. I was one of Bennell's victims years ago and I have done my utmost to convict him, I will also do my utmost to try to get justice for Ceptic's victims. Additionally, let's not forget, they tried to bury us over tax evasion with calls for title stripping etc. and not a spare inch to be found on the moral high ground yet you are calling me out for point scoring. Really.

They will never admit to any responsibility or guilt, and after grudgingly having to payout compensation, expect more lies and smears to be spread.

Holding up a banner that counts their 6 abusers to anyone elses is point scoring. Its the very definition of it. It’s probably the most crass thing i have ever read on here.

It’s got no place at Ibrox
 
Dear Mr - -

You can make your concerns known to the English FA and SFA via football@sportresolutions.co.uk, childrenswellbeing@scottishfa.co.uk and Alyson.Evans@scottishfa.co.uk. Alyson is the SFA’s Child Wellbeing and Protection Manager.

If you haven’t already sent your concerns on to the SFA or the English Review, then please do so. Unfortunately, whilst the English Review is ongoing, The FA is not in a position to comment on any non-recent matter.

The Scottish and English Review teams do liaise with each other, especially where there are concerns of potential cross-border collaboration or activity. Given these allegations are in the public domain it is likely that they are aware of this information. Nevertheless we would encourage you to contact them with your concerns, so they are registered by both the SFA and the English Review.

Kind regards

The FA

READY YOURSELVES TROOPS! The email addresses are provided there above, get them sent in their thousands and make it a full and proper information packed email on the details that were going on. The English FA throwing the Scottish FA under the bus to deal with this issue.

I’ve just read your post mate. You said you were one of bennels victims? I’m not doubting it so please don’t get me wrong. Were you interviewed by the police or did you go public with it? Have you contacted the authorities in Scotland to help them gather evidence against Celtic. Excuse my ignorance please as I only joined in April.

I'm not a fan of the banner idea. Would prefer to see 50,000 bears turn up at Ibrox wearing purple, show support for the victims. Same for every away support in the country when they visit that east end shithole.

And if that banner was held up then the boys would probably be arrested for doing so. I wonder then if police Scotland would lose that evidence also. Very much doubt it.
Like said previously I think something to show support for the victims would be a better way to get the point across.

He'll take his secrets to the grave I'm afraid. Think about it, he was wanting to write a book to make himself 'a few quid' but the beast dangled an even bigger carrot to keep schtum about the scandal which he just couldn't resist...he's as guilty of the cover-up as the rest of the devious dirty bastards and that includes the parents who did likewise after learning their child had been abused.
