We've had our differences on other threads but credit to you and the rest for all your efforts here.

BN94 · Dec 5, 2021

If anyone has any questions on the above then Spotlight will do our best to answer them.
Due to upcoming court cases then we may not be able to answer everything at the moment.
We definitely have more to come on the club and certain individuals.

Bernie Gunther · Dec 5, 2021

The Spotlight team's outstanding efforts would see that club closed down in a decent democracy.

No problem, Yosser.

We've just had differences of opinion. What's been posted in this thread isn't opinion. It's cold hard fact.

Lots of people should be worried!

northsealoyal · Dec 5, 2021

In todays society of media access and historical research I find it astonishing that this case keeps being submerged by MSM
outstanding from Spotlight to keep this horrendous systematic abuse case in the forefront

walt mcmurty · Dec 5, 2021

We await Separate Entity FC’s annual report on their internal enquiry…

Tugay1872 · Dec 5, 2021

I just hope and pray that this amazing work gets the proper recognition from the mainstream. It is utterly staggering it has taken this much push and shove to highlight Scotlands elephant in the room.

Thanks to all yous spotlight folk, and Gordon - cracking guy with an unbelievable inner strength.

dh1963 · Dec 5, 2021

It is to the eternal shame of journalists and politicians in Scotland that it takes the efforts of a dedicated group of amateurs to bring a national scandal into the public eye.

Stoorie · Dec 5, 2021

I’ve got some questions to ask police Scotland, about fifty years worth. Then politicians and media.
First one, “did you know anything”? Show whatever they say from then as lies.

Some of them should be in prison with their accomplices.

Do you expect that any names mentioned in court will be reported in the press or will there be a block put on it.

There's no way to tell at this stage.
Hopefully, facts (and names) will emerge that nobody knows about, yet.

sr1983 · Dec 5, 2021

Outstanding work from all at spotlight, hopefully it's coming to a point of justice for the victims.

Also, look after yourselves. Some of the things you've seen and heard must be absolutely exhausting to deal with as well. I'm sure you'll be glad to see the day this is all over and everyone concerned gets what they deserve.

Professor Yaffle · Dec 5, 2021

Great work.

Scotlands shame laid bare.

The media and Scottish government almost as bad as the paedos themselves but celtic cover up and deflection antics utterly astounding.

The personal accounts that we’ve heard are horrendous. I don’t mind admitting that it’s had me in tears on more than one occasion. Tears of sadness and anger.
Spotlight will never give up. We have to keep going. The world has to know what went on at that club over decades.

Many thanks for this BN. I’ve written before, but just to reiterate, for me it’s nothing to do with point scoring against Celtic, their supporters or their coward apologists. It’s about the victims. I don’t know you all on a personal basis, but guys like yourself, Grigo and many others deserve so much credit for keeping going.

BN - I've been following this thread for a good few years now. The fact that this has all taken place in the first place is utterly sickening enough, but the fact that it's been covered up by that club, totally ignored by the snp "government" and completely under reported by the smsm (legal reasons aside) is completely reprehensible. I hope sincerely that the victims of these horrible crimes get the justice they deserve and that the club that enabled the abuse get the punishment that they deserve. The work that you and the Spotlight team have done to reveal the truth surely has to be commended at the highest level.

TheDerryend · Dec 5, 2021

I'm amazed and disgusted at the same time. Amazed at the what has been accomplished by guys on here who have shown what first class journalism is all about and disgust at the authorities who are basically defending this with their silence.

Ireland an RC country basically had enough, yet we in this country put up with it. What the f**k is going on here?

Bluenote · Dec 5, 2021

Sorry BN, to clarify, I meant that I've been following the big thread for a good few years, not just this most recent year end report thread.

The world has to know. Over the years we’ve came up against apologists in positions in Scotland that have no interest in this issue. I think we can all guess who they are. It’s the main reason that we had to take it outside Scotland.
In the coming months there will be brave men coming forward. Men that had skill and wanted to play football only to be preyed upon by these beasts.
These men now have families. Some don’t want to come forward and that has to be respected.
This isn’t about point scoring. It never has been for Spotlight. All we done was found what was already out there and continued searching.
Wee boys were proud to pull on that jersey to represent that club. The beasts were well organised and knew what they were doing. Giving young boys a dream.
The club turned their back on them, and continue to do so.

That's why I'll never say anything about many who have chosen to stay silent. It's the easiest thing in the world looking from the outside, but whichever path individuals want to take is entirely up to them and what they believe to be the best way to carry on.

No point scoring as there are no winners here.

Incredible work by Spotlight. Thank you.

I domt comment much on the Spotlight issues but I'd like to commend your efforts to date.

Don't give up. Anyone with a moral compass of any description is right behind what you do.

linthousebear1981 · Dec 6, 2021

How there is not more being said in the media about all of this is just unbelievable?

Especially that bit about Martin Henry. That just shows that certain people are being placed to help Celtic out of this mess and make them seem as if they did nothing wrong. Disgraceful, being linked with a peadaphile once is unlucky twice, three times is a pattern.

tangledupinblue · Dec 6, 2021

Hat doffed BN94 and team. That compilation is absolutely outstanding and a reminder of how much of a cesspit that place across the city is.

I am sure that at least 1 newspaper could print that off in an effort to bring it further to the public eye. Yes it is a subject that many of our so called media refuse to acknowledge and won't touch with a bargepole. Reasons would be not to upset their beloved Club and fans for fear of retribution and retaliation. The other simply because they are sympathisers to the club and will not paint them in a bad light no matter how damming.

If a newspaper could be approached to print all this off in a study / investigative article then we as fans could do our bit by bringing it to the fore and reassure the paper that EVERY newspaper printed will be sold throughout the country. We could easily do this in a campaigned effort.

Justice for the abused.

The courts don't help either.

The shit sentences handed out by them is farcical.

BlueBaloo · Dec 6, 2021

Ive been following the other thread and commenting since the first page and cannot commend the work of Spotlight highly enough.

What they have shown is an organised paedophile ring that was part of,and in the case of CBC East even set up,staffed & funded by Celtic Football Club.

Six of their managers throughout the years knew what was going on and not one of them reported it to anyone.
Jock Stein
Billy McNeil
David Hay
Lou Macari
Liam Brady
Thomas Burns.

CFC have lied about the reasons for the resignations of P#1(1974) & P#2(1991) citing work reasons on both occasions when in fact both were accused of child abuse and allowed to walk away scot free.

As my wee granny used to say...
.
You might not always catch a thief..
But you always catch a liar.

Sticky Fingers · Dec 6, 2021

@BN94 that’s some work you and the group have got through. Well done pal, keep it going because we both know fine well that it WILL be all worth it in the end.

No amount of corruption or backhanders can stop what is coming to that rancid club.

The Baron of Renfrew · Dec 6, 2021

BN94 as previously stated the work you and the team do at spotlight is incredible, not point scoring but highlighting the wrongs of organisations and individuals against children. You deserve eminence credit for the continued selfless commitment and dedication to ensure justice for the victims of these horrific crimes. Surely any self respecting individuals/ organisations would also want to see justice, even if was at our club we would not want this swept under the carpet but to be open and transparent. Is that not part of any organisation core values and duty of care. These young men were after all under their care at the time. Why do the MSM fail to mention along the “ Scottish government “ where any discussion or mention is actively discouraged and quickly glossed to over. Do none of these individuals have the integrity to stand up against what is so obviously immoral and inexcusable. Incidentally on a side issue not the public outcry on the death of young Arthur. Should that not be the same for all crimes against children regardless of where that crime takes place.
