Saw that mate and it is good to know that. Doesn't change the fact that national broadcasters are presenting the fallacy as a fact. It's disgraceful reporting. They ain't saying 'Celtic claim....', it's being put out there as fact!

Wonder if we'll see a more "in depth" follow up documentaries from daly,thomson and goldberg once this is over....tell the real story behind the abuse.
There should be many a journalist and politician hanging their heads in shame at ignoring the victims pleas for justice.
P.s...anyone got a reaction from dornan on this news ,it's close to home!

Totally agree with this, yet victimised fc will claim the trial was prejudiced against them once it starts getting played out in the mediaThe point is why are Sky reporting this as a fact when it is central to the law suit? Who is feeding them that line? It is hugely prejudicial to the case that this is bring broadcast on national TV and radio.

Thanks for your efforts mate and best of British with legal hearings.
Think I might take this up with Ofcom. They are reporting about a law suit involving CSA and are pushing views prejudicial to the case. It's massively irresponsible if not prejudicial. They are professional journalists and must surely be aware of that.

Hopefully justice will prevail above all else. Make no mistake this fight will be nasty, it will be ugly, there will be underhand and almost inhumane tactics used by the defence.
But hopefully, God willing, justice will prevail...
Huge respect to all the men and woman who have given their time to see this abhorrent investigation through to where it is today. Make no mistake the things they will have heard will live with them forever, but let's hope their hard work will pay off and they will deliver the justice the victims and survivors truly deserve.

Nonsense. Damages have already been paid to one claimant. The precedent has already been set, and the evidence is overwhelming.

Complaint sent to Ofcom.
On 5/10/21 Sky News broadcast a report about a pending class action law suit in which multiple victims of child sex abuse will seek redress from Celtic Football Club.
Several senior associates of Celtic Boys Club, which Celtic FC claims to be a "separate entity' have already been convicted of offences relating to the child abuse that took place. The football clubs' 'separate entity' claim is highly contentious and the victims' pursuit of redress is likely to hinge on the courts' view of the evidence to substantiate or disprove their claim.
I was therefore shocked that Sky News concluded their TV report of the pending legal action with a statement to the effect that there is 'no affiliation" betwen Celtic FC and the Celtic Boys' Club. This prejudicial message is highly irresponsible and must have dismayed the child sex abuse victims who now seek legal redress.
It is a message Sky subsequently reinforced via their twitter feed with an article that commenced ;
"A number of senior figures at Celtic Boys Club, which was not officially connected to Celtic FC, have been jailed for sexual abuse".
Given the gravity of the pending law suit, I expect a national broadcaster to demonstrate awareness of the potential impact of their words and perspectives.
I am requesting that OFCOM investigate this matter. In my opinion, Sky should broadcast and publish a fullsome apology to the abused victoms of this scandal. They should also be forced to retract their statements relating to the denial of a relationship between Celtic and Celtic Boys Club as this will be tested in the courts as a crucial element of the pending law suit.
Broadcasters have a duty of care to victims of such grave offences to endure their reporting is accurate, balanced and sympathetic to the suffering the victims have already endured. It should not be prejudicial to legal proceedings.

The fact that Sky are going down the separate entity road shows you there is still some frantic goings on in the positions of power at CFC with regards to this.
They are not for raising their hands and proclaiming "the game's up". Not yet anyway.
I'm not going to insinuate mr Dominic McKay seen this coming but it would be sage to assume he is feeling pretty content with his decision to leave that cesspit.

Great to see the case take a massive step forward today thanks to all the time and effort put in by BN94 , Grigo , the Spotlight team and others . I look forward to seeing those guilty of these heinous crimes and the many others involved in the cover up finally brought to account . Keep up the good work all .

To busy telling his son not to testify.
You can almost understand their deluded, denial ridden stance with football related matters, the worst of sore losers exist in any walk of life.
I have never been able to grasp that there are 60k pond-life that fill a stadium every week, KNOWINGLY supporting a club and the people who want to forcefully, cover up a VIP paedophile ring purely to continue to see a daft football team compete for titles.
No title or club is worth putting before the wellbeing of children who are now scarred adults, it's absolutely harrowing.

It’s a report by the PA, meaning that it will be used by outlets other than Sky.The point is why are Sky reporting this as a fact when it is central to the law suit? Who is feeding them that line? It is hugely prejudicial to the case that this is being broadcast on national TV and radio.
The wording is certainly strange for this type of article and I’d have expected something like “lawyers for Celtic claim” to have been added.

They all are forgetting the passage in the SFA whitewash, sorry, report regarding shared heritage.
Shared heritage'
Celtic Boys Club also featured in often distressing personal accounts of sexual abuse.Celtic FC has previously said that while it shares "historic contacts" with the boys club, the two are separate organisations.
But the review concludes: "If the relationship and history between the youth football club and the senior club was so shared, so close, and so inextricable then when sexual abuse of young players formed part of the history of one then it too formed part of the history of the other.
"A shared heritage is not confined to trophies, victories and celebration. It also extends to defeats, failures, and deficiencies."
I am sure this, and the barrowload of other discovered, connected evidence, will be highlighted when the time is right.

I assume the court will demand to see Peter's elusive and mysterious "independent investigation".
It has now taken 4+ years, which is longer than the SFA inquiry into the whole of Scottish football took.
James Dornan very publicly asked Peter for clarity on his investigation, i.e. how and by whom. That was over two years ago. Perhaps someone on twitter could ask Dornan for an update on that.

It seems a bit strange that Chris McLaughlin from the BBC should attempt to report upon this matter in a rather understated manner, which attempts to direct us towards the corporate and administrative distances between Celtic FC and Celtic's Boys Club.
It is probably not so so strange when we consider the following:

As BN94 says, we do not know if it is the same McLaughlin.
In a wholly private capacity, however, I am a suspicious that a Chris McLaughlin should complain to IPSO regarding the Sun newspaper's publication of an article that referred to a CBC abuser as "Celtic coach".
It could be a remarkable coincidence that a guy called Chris McLaughlin, who happens to be a reporter, who rather randomly supports Celtic and who works for the BBC, today attempts to create a bit of a distance between Celtic FC and Celtic FC's Youth Team.
I am happy to apologise to every non biased, honest Scottish reporter named Chris McLaughlin
I am smelling shite, Grigo.

Might be worth asking Sky the same questions sir, have they Sky, decided there was no affiliation, or were they told that. In which case could they balance up their claims by saying, the victims of the abuse refute that claim, and CBC was indeed affiliated to Celtic FC.

That’s a pretty staggering stance that sky are taking to try and distance the very obvious and proven link between CFC and CBC as well as the plethora of evidence that supports the idea that they were in fact one and the same thing.
Any major media outlet that decides to take this stance at this stage really wants to be closed down once it’s proven that this was indeed the case that they were in fact linked in every way possible. Sky taking the stance in support of the club that’s enabled and facilitated paedophiles and the systemic abuse of children for 5 decades is nothing short of a National scandal and that outlet should feel the wrath of the public once these class action suits are over with.
It was an open secret for many years, and now with the multitude of documents evidencing the fact that these crimes were happening and not just some horrible rumour, so for any media outlet to side with the football club rather than the victims really should see the end of that organisation as a viable media option, as well as a credible service that’s available to the paying public.
The victims are the ones who should be getting the full support of everyone, not just of those who are willing to risk everything to help them fight for the justice they deserve.
