I was on Dumbarton Road at 11am today and saw Torbett leave the Fireplace Centre on Dumbarton Road and get into a new shape Merc E Class. It was definitely him. Hopefully that beast is about to go down for life.

Going to the bad fire :eek:
 
The child abuse enquiries appear to have gone a bit quiet on both sides of the border, hopefully they have enough evidence to jail all the peado sicko's
 
A Pedo of the worst type, swept under the carpet by Bheast FC. Time for a SFA inquiry into historical abuse.

he heard there was a little Brazillian beach boy playing tonight he might like
 
I reckon that man will take a lot of secrets to the grave.He will know so much about the goings on at the paedos that I would be surprised if he hasn't been paid handsomely for his silence
 
The Yanks should have sent him to one of their supermaxes and let his arse hang out with big bubba before he was told to get to fck.

Was it a million quid that Celtic paid his company for 'trophies'?

Torbett was jailed in 1997....Septic cancelled the contract with his company in 2001.

The filth looked after him while he was in the nick

CELTIC have severed business links with Jim Torbett, four years after he was jailed for molesting three young footballers.

The club will not renew a controversial pounds 250,000-a-year contract with a firm linked to the paedophile founder of Celtic Boys' Club.

Celtic chairman Ian McLeod ordered all ties to be cut with the Trophy Centre, in Glasgow, and put the contract out to tender.

Club insiders say McLeod was alarmed to discover the club has paid the company more than pounds 1million since millionaire Torbett, 54, was convicted of molesting young starlets, including ex- Scotland star Alan Brazil.

Club officials were told the Trophy Centre contract will not be renewed next week. Torbett made a fortune supplying merchandise, including medals and scarves, to the club.

He resigned his directorship of the Trophy Centre in 2000 after being jailed for two years in November 1998.

But he remains a key figure in the business and his car is regularly seen at Trophy Centre outlets in Glasgow.

Staff answering the phone at the shops last week continued to take messages for him.

A Celtic insider said: "The club has had a long history with the Trophy Centre but a new management has come in and that relationship has not sat comfortably with them.

"There has been work going on behind the scenes and the upshot is that the contract is about to lapse and we will be looking for a new supplier. The new managment were appalled that someone like that was still taking money from Celtic.

"The directors decided someone new will be appointed, but they are angry that they could not get out of the contract earlier.

"They have paid that firm more than pounds 1million in the time since Torbett was convicted and that is appalling."

A spokesman for the club said: "Celtic had a long-term contractual obligation with the Trophy Centre.

"This has now lapsed and we are opening up the supply of our merchandise to tender."

The continuing links between Torbett, 54, and the club were condemned by his victims. A lawyer acting for James McGrory, now 44, had attacked the refusal of the Parkhead club to sever all ties with the Trophy Centre.

Iain Cochrane accused the club of being high-handed and dismissive of his client's concern adding: "Mr McGrory was surprised and distressed to discover Celtic's continuing business relationship."

Torbett was exposed as a child molester in August 1996. He has not been seen at Celtic Park since. He served less than half of his sentence.

We all hope the victims get justice and those that covered it up are put under the spotlight.

I cant help but wonder if Lawells continual nonsense is partly to do with trying to deviate the publics attention away from what is pending.
 
It should also be noted that Jack McGinn and Kevin Kelly were also directors in Torbetts business

Dirty deals to give Torbett a smooth return after being banished?
 
"There has been work going on behind the scenes and the upshot is that the contract is about to lapse and we will be looking for a new supplier. The new managment were appalled that someone like that was still taking money from Celtic.

You would think his contract expired as soon as he got convicted and put in jail......Then again, they do like paedos and protecting them.
 
Buying a new fireplace (if indeed that's what he was doing) isn't exactly the actions of a man about to jailed.
 
contact one of those peado hunter groups who publicly shame see if they can ramp up the pressure on him and beast fc

I know a former Celtic player who came through the ranks at the piggery, the police where at his door less than two months ago in connection with this case, it's very much ongoing.
