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

If he is a Protestant, I would be surprised that he was allowed to take on the position for, as we all know how all the "heid-bummers" were strictly papes at that time (not allowing Stein a place on the board) it would have been difficult to infiltrate the " Parkheid Chapel".
If, as you say, he is in fact a "proddie", all the more strange.
 
Decided to look up contact details for Humza and (as a voter in his constituency) ask if he supports a full independent enquiry. Got to his website (suppose I'll never get that off the PC) and found this vote of confidence....

Cllr David McDonald

I've known Humza for many years and I've got no doubt that he's the best person for the job. As one of the countries leading politicians Humza will make be outstanding candidate.

Obviously English and spelling not a strong point of Cllr David McDonald (now where do I know that name from?).

And already had a reply from one of his emails saying this inbox is only occasionally monitored.

I read it somewhere but I’m not 100% certain. It agree would make it even odder that such a young, inexperience person of the wrong faith would be given such an important position.

If torbett is as said a Protestant and was allowed into their upper realms of darkness, what would he hold over Kelly et al in order to get him to that status?
 
See Thomson tweeting this , is there someone bringing it up tomorrow in Holyrood??


Let’s see what is said.

Presuming that the SFA review is held up as a definitive and comprehensive bastion of truth, balance and accuracy. Then lumps all clubs together under a Scottish football issue, whilst calling for all clubs to recognise and apologise, and put processes and safeguards in place for the future. Also, likely no mention of Martin Henry’s suitability for the position either I would guess, nor the possible conflict of interest (or marking your own homework) with the SFA directing the review. No mention of the SNP’s decision to exclude Religious and Sporting organisations from an official inquiry.

I don’t know if I am recalling this correctly, but didn’t the SNP offer compensation, on the provision the victims signed gagging orders and did not take further legal action against the SFA and the clubs?
 
As much as I’m annoyed at the predicted antics from these cowards and weirdos, I’m equally annoyed at our PR dept and board.

each and every single one of them should be answering why this narrative is being allowed to gain traction.

utter neglect from those taking a wage in the name of defending our club.

not for the first time this season I find myself in disbelief at our PR levels.
 
Looks like an ideal story after investigation by a large British or International newspaper that can be trusted to print the truth and not be bought off in any way . Trust is something that must be earned through truth which is a commodity that is very hard to find in Scotland especially on the subject CFC and the denial of CSA within it's dark green and grey walls so any reports or investigations must come from England or Abroad .
Hopefully someone may really " do the business ", after the election.

Perhaps a certain Andrew F Neill/ GBNews??

Just a lovely thought.

Am I reading this right?

A guy sat in a room with a lad who made child porn videos.
They set up a company together.
He then works for the RC church to help them cover up paedophilia.
And now he has been charged with reviewing child abuse in Scottish Football?

Did I read that wrong or is this what it says?

A very strange appointment indeed. Here’s another...

Pretty sure Swinney floated it as an option at one stage mate, but don’t think it’s developed beyond that yet.

Just one Very simple example of your comment on the SFA. Petrie of Hibs is SFA President & that Hibs example with Waugh / Neely was totally ignored by the report.

There are many more examples.
 
With this being discussed in Holyrood today, please take the time to email your MSP. It really does help, even if it seems they don't listen. If no one emails then they have an excuse to do nothing. Don't make it that easy.

Feel free to copy my letter if it helps.

Hello XYZ,

I had contacted you before regarding historic child abuse in Scottish football. At the time you had suggested that everyone should wait until the SFA had released its report on the subject before anything could be moved forward.

The SFA has now released its long-awaited / delayed report. It is welcome that every club has to own-up and apologise for their own part in any events.

However, questions are rightfully being asked about what has been omitted and how scale and the facts of circumstance have been carefully removed from the report. In the words of victims and victims’ families, it’s a whitewash.

So, with this subject due to be discussed in Holyrood today I ask you to consider the following:

- Was the author of the report the most suitable person to lead the investigation?

- Was the SFA the most suitable body to conduct the investigation, given influence and conflicts of interest?

- Why has so much information been omitted?


Is a full and open public independent enquiry the only way to forward now?

I trust you’ll do your best,

R R

I’ll leave you with the opinions of the ones that really matter.

Torbett is definitely Catholic. He was involved with a Father Gowans in Yoker and Dumbarton in the 70s. My wife's brother unfortunately has first hand experience of what he did.
 
Some of you may have noticed that the Dan Gordon thread has been chopped. This was at Spotlights request.
The negativity was getting too much from various posters and we were being contacted by survivors and families upset at certain posts.
It’s possible that the thread will come back at a later stage, but for now we had it removed.
Some of the replies on that thread were disgusting and I wish posters would think about the survivors and families before they tap away at their keyboard. I’m absolutely shocked by some of these replies and it’s unfortunate for those who have followed this that we had it removed. When we get more updates from Dan Gordon then we’ll update the thread with what we can.

Well said. You all must deal with enough crap without getting it on here.

People should think about what they type rather than type what they think.
 
That low life rent-a-gob Graham Spiers finally raises his head above the parapet to discuss CSA and it's a dig at Rangers.
This is part of the major problem, the calibre of journalists for decades chose to ignore the biggest scandal of world football right on their doorstep.
Generations of reporters ignoring a scandal of epic proportions right under their noses. What will be their stance when the whole sordid affair is truly exposed, too the many that react, maybe they should have been more proactive.
Shameful doesn't cover it.
 
There is a very good reason that none of the MSM or independent journalists in Scotland have dug deeper into this story.

And that reason is, it would involve getting off their fat lazy arses and doing some actual work, rather than browsing Twitter and basing what they write on the absolute garbage that appears on it 99% of the time.

Scottish journalists. A lazier, less talented, pathetic shower of weak willed, terrified wasters you'd be hard pushed to find.
 
It seems that the Spotlight Account has been the subject of abuse tonight from the cult.

Unfortunately they won’t scare these guys.

On the contrary, Spotlight is in the process of reminding them the basis of the work done.
They really are lowlife scum, but it's good to see how much this is getting to them, it shows the truth is getting out there via the work Spotlight is doing.
Was anything brought up today at Holyrood or was nothing said?

If only their fans put as much effort and vitriol into demanding their club hold their hands up to decades of cover ups and facilitating the abuse. They do tend to be more concerned with defeated resolutions and outlandish conspiracies, to their shame.

We have no doubt Grigo, that you gents are made of the right stuff, and will not surrender under any circumstances.

Thanks Snakehips.

As BN94 has said on a number of occasions, we won’t stop until justice is served for these people & their families.

Let them come for us. We welcome the fight. We will challenge any paedo apologists from that clubs support with hard facts.
