First line of the article is:
A paedophile ring involving the most notorious abuser in British sporting history and a Celtic Boys Club coach is being investigated.
The article then quotes Patrick McGuire of Thompson’s solicitors, he states ‘it was one of our survivor client who were able to present the evidence of links between McCafferty and Bennell and McCafferty and Torbett’
‘There is clearly evidence of trips being organised in both directions, Bennell brings boys up to Scotland and McCafferty taking boys clubs trips to the greater Manchester area. I’m glad the SFA have finally taken account of the evidence that we have been putting forward’
Mr McGuire said he expected that the report would present ‘clear and compelling evidence of a football paedophile ring operating in plain sight across the UK’ adding ‘McCafferty and Bennell were the two most prolific paedophiles that we know of in football circles’

He is not wrong I heard this well known player is very close to tell all speaking to his family first who I believe don't know put in a position now in case his name comes out
I couldn't read that story on my PC (print too small)
When I look for that newspaper headline I find this...
Different from the one posted.
Is "The Times" regionalised?

Why are you calling him brother stein?Here's a thing to consider. Was Brother Stein actually a victim or collateral damage in this sorry mess. Why do I say that? Well look at the dates. So he kicks Torbett out the club, doesn't inform the police, wrong, but at least removes Torbett. This is the one act (although incomplete) which we could agree was correct.
But, Torbett manages to find his way back in. How? Stein is no longer manager. How well was that handled. Offered a job selling coupons, but not on the board and not any position of power at CP. Unceremoniously removed in a way never in a million years befitting their greatest manager. If anything he was the one who was "literally booted out the door.'
I still think there may be an unholy alliance between Torbett, the Kellys and Whytes. Financial, maybe more and possibly involving gate money and blackmail. My opinion is, that for Torbett to get back in, after the 86 fiasco, someone high up must have rubber stamped it. They even waited for Jock to pass away before the Kangaroo court to pass its "judgement."
Brother Stein may well have known the whole story- and having never being one of "them" and after his disgraceful departure- was about to blow the lid on what is only now being revealed. In the preservation of self interest, he was kicked out of Celtic.
Big Jock did know, Celtic knew he knew and he was removed before everyone else knew. The Brother was too dangerous to the old board. Everything else since was covered up,
What's the latest cover up? Bleaching the internet and removing what could be incriminating dates.
I don't know who the player is but I was told a very well known name for Celtic and Scotland
Is he well known down a north west city now?
These cunts have no concern for the young kids abused at their club, none whatsoever.
Could be an interesting story in tomorrow's Times. This is all I've got:
How much had celtic spent in previous years. A deep police Forensic accounting investigation is needed.No worries mate, I get where you're coming from as I thought of that myself. However, doing so over four years isn't good business practice. Surely they'd need more some years and less so other years. Why buy the same amount of stock again when you may have half of it left? That's a cardinal sin (excuse the pun) for any business.
Another thing regarding buying wholesale, which is what you'd expect them to do of course. They'd surely go to manufacturers of the merchandise required to get the best price, hence get biggest profit margin on subsequent sales. Great going to TTC for trophies and other related merchandise, that makes sense, but why would you go to them for as much as £250,000 worth of it, every year, for four years? What could they supply them for that huge amount of money? All clothing would have to have been sourced from manufacturers of the garments, otherwise they'd be paying 'silly money' to get it from the paedo.
This was a payment to him, disguised within buying some merchandise.
I’m not sure mate. CFC tried to cover it up. That maybe the difference here. I think this may have a long way to go yet. I agree there seems to be no action but that’s down to the corruption within the SFA and the present Scottish government imo. The sooner the English FA are involved the better. I do believe this will become a full blown inquiry involving the trips to America also. Apparently there is a documentary maker already in the process of investigation also. It’s a disgrace the inquiry hasn’t been launched. I’ve said in previous posts that I do believe there are more victims still to come out but until that inquiry starts then they will remain silent. I just hope that it takes CFC down and ends their existence. If the Americans get involved and prove that there was abuse stateside then I think American lawyers will bury Celtic. My point is mate I think we need to be patient on this one. Frustrating as it is.Sadly nothing is going to happen to them. The flood gates should have already opened with those that were abused willing to tell their stories. Hasn't happened. Nothing has happened to the clubs that Bennell was involved with, nothing will happen to those c*nts.
The filth will not settle out of court as that would be seen as an admission of guilt.
They’ll be given an assurance from high up that it’ll be ok to go to court as a hand picked judge will rule that they are a separate entity.
Damn is starting to crack.That would require them to accept culpability which they’ve clearly no intention of doing.
An odious, moraly bankrupt club who have acted shamefully throughout all this.
That quote is from a solicitor, not Dornan. However, I suspect Dornan's intervention is an attempt at damage limitation for his beloved club. He only recently described those who expressed concerns about the goings on at CBC as 'bigots', yet now apparently his son is friends with some of the abuse victims, so he's clearly been aware of what went on for years. Why the sudden change in attitude? From hurling online abuse at those who spoke up for victims, to moral crusader in a matter of weeks. I for one, wouldn't trust the little runt an inch.'you have the moral compulsion to do the right thing and set up a compensation scheme'
who is Dornan trying to kid here with that utter drivel.
seen Dornans name at the top and couldnt be arsed reading it through but the bottom line caught my eye, just assumed it was him trying to be the 'crusader' as you say, like you I wouldn't trust him one iota.That quote is from a solicitor, not Dornan.

Daly: “I have the proof and I’m about to blow it wide open.”Yep, all after a tweet asking Mark Daly to friend him so that he could DM him on twitter. I wonder what was said.
