It doesn't just look like they have something to hide, they are very busy hiding, burying and covering up on behalf of the Rsoles that knew at the SFA and did nothing.
Why are people who have something to hide like burying the facts that certain members of the SFA knew of what was happening years ago, why is that same organisation allowed to conduct an investigation into CSA ?

Now this would take the whole thing in a completely different direction where even politicians would find it hard to bury, it’s an absolute disgrace that it’s taken normal guys and girls to do all this work.

The SFA conducted a thorough investigation and found no wrong doing by anyone...ever.
We pyure back ra sellik to a man
These are scurrilous rumours and should be buried and we aw move oan

That's kinda what I'm expecting....I'd imagine shitloads have been edited out and the questions still unanswered like why did celtic re employ a man who was known as a paedophile?
Why did Celtic on two seperate occasions fail to report a child abuser?
Why did Celtic employ a convicted paedophile to work at CBC East?
Does this 1986 "investigation" even exist and is there a minute of any meetings regarding this?
I don’t think any internal investigation took place at all. No survivors interviewed. No families interviewed. The London stock exchange were never informed by the club that they were carrying out an internal investigation. We know that to be fact as it was us that informed them 2 years ago.

If there has been any investigation, then surely Police Scotland have to be interested in this as there may be evidence of criminality. The inaction at every level in dealing with this scandal from the sfa, spfl, mainstream media, government and the opposition parties, police etc is staggering and unforgivable.

Police Scotland looking into any criminality involving Strathclyde Police will be like CFC looking into any criminality at CBC, non existent and yes it’s unforgivable.

What’s the significance of ‘prior to 1997’?

It's their way of claiming that there were no allegations brought to their attention before this.
They are trying to say they didn't kick out people out of celtics boys club prior to 1997, so they didn't bring back people back into the Celtic set up in the 1990s who they knew had been previously accused of CSA.
That stance is somewhat undermined in a number of ways e.g. by hugh birt, Gerry Mcsherry and the internal investigation carried in 1986 by celtic fc (seperate entity 1) about celtics boys club (seperate entity 2) which was written about in the celtic view (the official newspapers paper of seperate entity 1).
They will stick grimly to this - and I can see why.

I’m sure Celtic fans will ask on the progress of the internal investigation at their next AGM. Or maybe not.

Bear in mind one was forced to resign a mere five years after this supposed "investigation" took place.

Gordon doesn't miss and he's 100% spot on . There will still be no acknowledgement from the justice joke - Shameful and shocking - but so very predictable . This Bastard ( along with All the others ) Must be exposed and punished accordingly .

First time I've read something that humza said and though, that's decent of you. However scroll down and realise just lip service. I guess it shows how easy it is to distract from past incompetence (not a word that justifies it) that's why this page and spotlight are so important, we can't let this be forgotten.

There was a story in todays Guardian - it seems to have disappeared - about a lad who was convicted after "He had admitted 14 terror offences and two counts of possessing child sex abuse images and was sentenced at the Old Bailey to two years’ detention suspended for two years."
So weak sentences are passed elsewhere in the country.
i think what this shows is it is not what you know but who you know for his father was a clerk in the House of Lords and while his mother is a teacher.

Really shocking mate.
One of the reasons that club has got away with it for so long is friends in high places.

And allowed a certain director to retain his seat.
Now that certain director has selective amnesia and cant remember meeting Jimmy Saville ...cant remember travelling abroad with "seperate entity" .....has no recollection of his directorship at TTC.

Considering the wages and expenses politician's get paid , it is a disgrace that they have to be pushed by the victims and the team on here to try and get justice while the justice secretary ignores it all and seems to think that anyone who even mentions the atrocities that the victims suffered are racists . What the hell is happening to Scotland ?

You cannot expect a lad who has such an upstanding bringing up within a society of such high class law abiding parents to be locked away among lower class scum from ordinary backgrounds can you ? He has promised Mummy he is going to behave better in the future and spend his £200 per week pocket money more sensibly . A Law for them and a Law for Joe Public

Anyone else find it strange that this creep was allowed to hang around THEIR boys club despite having no job or position and even turning down a full time job at Motherwell to continue hanging around ..with no job or position?

He may not have had a job but I would imagine he was still getting a wage from someone in the Ring.

Think it's high time this were taken up a notch and soon.
A protest march or the like would be out of the question for obvious reasons but something visible needs done to instigate a reaction. This is a human story after all and from where I'm standing the people who matter most in all of this are being treated with utter contempt. How much longer are these souls expected to suffer without their collective voice being heard. The situation is a source of national disgrace but that clearly doesn't resonant with the people who run this country. The only way to change that is through pressure.
It's clear to me the repetitive stalling we've seen WILL NOT stop. Everyone knows the tactics here. It's disgusting but the victims and their families have surely had enough. Words of condemnation however well intended are reserved only for online forums like this and It's not enough. It never was.
That the deadline of this report has been delayed ONCE AGAIN should act as a catalyst for change this time.
The complicit haven't the slightest intension of bringing this to a conclusion. We know this! Shamefully I believe the only way justice can be achieved now is to force the issue by dragging the guilty kicking and screaming into the open if that's what it takes.

I really, really hope that one day, one of these sick, twisted bastards grows a spine and a conscience and spills the beans on the rest of the vermin, so that they have nowhere to hide.
I thought originally that it might be McCafferty, but it seems he may have been quietened after his initial admission when he said he had to own up to what he had done (or words to that effect).
I really want to see the ex-board member weasel that others have mentioned in the dock, he better not be allowed to take his secrets to the grave.

Relax as it may be the case that while court cases are ongoing it would be wrong to put it out
If you’re referring to the Dan Gordon documentary that was supposedly happening then it was stated on here previously that a researcher was contacted at the beginning of the year.
Back then we were told that because of Covid things were on hold.
I’m not sure what you’re referring to. If you’re referring to the Adrian Goldberg film then he has clearly stated that he can’t release due to the advice of his lawyers, but he also stated that it’s coming.
There is a lot of legalities involved due to current and upcoming court cases. We share posters frustrations.
