Is there not 4 former employees, including Torbett, on court this month?
What the %^*& have i just read??? Where the hell is that posted?The excuses have started already:
Lets not waste the prosecutor fiscal and the courts time folks, back then it was just kiddie fiddling and real men wouldn't have said anything about it cos it was fine.
What a filthy, mhanky, fucking tramp.
Every other country want to hold club's to account for their action, or inaction, when it comes to child abuse. In this country the powers in Scottish football don't even want to talk about the fact celtc allowed child abuse to happen for years under their roof. Billy McNeill confirmed it was "an open secret". It has been confirmed that big Jock knew and chose not to contact the police allowing the paedo to keep fiddling with other innocent kids. Then, worse of all.... they gave Torbett his old job back and allowed him to keep abusing kids!!!!!
This is the worst case worldwide of any sporting institution facilitating paedophilia, yet the bheasts are not being taken to task on this???? They should no longer exist in any form for their crimes against innocent children.
The trial may be going on at the moment as there is complete radio silence.Did we ever get to hear about Cunto Cairney when he appeared in court a couple of Friday's ago?
I'd bet he not the only one.Kevin Kelly is up to his neck in the cover up.
Kevin Kelly is up to his neck in the cover up.
Wee bit Hollywood?Anyone have a horrible feeling that a deal's been done? Torbett's 'nothing but the truth' will exonerate Bheast FC, put the blame on drugs/drink/stress/gangsters and some carefully selected dead accomplices and he'll have a doctor's line that says he has a terrible wasting disease. He'll get a suspended sentence and the mhedia will run with the line that it was nothing to do with their favourites.
Jhob done, justice shafted.
Kevin Kelly is up to his neck in the cover up.
Think it's more like a wee bit 'Holyrood', Nathan.Wee bit Hollywood?
Was Just going to say the same.Just because they wear the same strips,share the same name and train at the same place doesn't mean they are connected."A number of locations are listed on the indictment including Barrowfield Football Ground in Glasgow's London Road, where Celtic used to train"
Aye? I thought the Boys Club was a separate entity from them?
Comments section on the OP's link, there's more than that and, honestly, it just reaffirms my hatred for that mob.What the %^*& have i just read??? Where the hell is that posted?
If they were different organisations why did Jock Stein kick Torbett out?Why would chairman and directors like Kevin Kelly & Jack McGinn get involved in a cover up over Frank Cairney?I can guarantee nothing will come of this because legally Celtic FC & Celtic BC were two different orgs. Both had close connections with each other, but still different.
Move along
Cairney and King and McCafferty, there are two others who are still being investigated, one a Club photographer.
"A number of locations are listed on the indictment including Barrowfield Football Ground in Glasgow's London Road, where Celtic used to train"
Aye? I thought the Boys Club was a separate entity from them?
I'd love an explanation as to why Jock Stein had the authority to sack someone who had "nothing to do with Celtc"It's nothing to do with Celtic though, and everything to do with the boys club, who are not affiliated in any way shape or form to the club, this is the spin coming from Liewell and his PR machine now.
Incredible.
Jock Stein of Celtic FC booting Torbett of Celtic BC out the door connects both clubs as is Kelly giving him his job backWas Just going to say the same.Just because they wear the same strips,share the same name and train at the same place doesn't mean they are connected.
Shut the sick nonce bastards down.
It is very sad that Catholicism and Celtc are more important to the Journalists, Media, Politicians and Judicial people in this Country rather than getting the truth out about the abuse of children from the age of 4 years old.
It makes you sick to the pit of your stomach.
An unconvicted bheast,maybeExactly who inside Celtic Park gave the ok for a convicted bheast to get his job back knowing fine well he would prob strike again.
The Roman Catholic Church and Celtic Football Club are untouchable.If this was any other organisation where children were involved, a full scale investigation would have taken place and that institution shut down.
Why not here.............
Vile and disgusting behaviour by the authorities, that are in place to protect our children........
4 years old ffs. This seems out of place somehow. In the context of where the abuse was committed. Did Celtic boys club run teams for kids that young? If they didn't then presumably Torbett is also being investigated for abuse beyond what went on at Celtic, and their boys club.The boys mentioned are said to have been aged between four and 14 when Torbett is first accused of abusing them.
That is utterly appalling. They say Stein never knew anything, but kicked Torbett out of the club. Then Stein awards Torbett an award just three years later. Why would the " legend" Stein do that ?
The scum will dodge this bullet even tho it is the size of a cannonball.
The media in this country will do all they can to minimise the consequences for the scum.
And that my friend is the straw that is gonna break the camel's back it's public knowledge it's in many books of ex employees in fact they couldn't wait to tell us how Big Jock kicked his arse out of his office at CELTIC PARK .....I'd love an explanation as to why Jock Stein had the authority to sack someone who had "nothing to do with Celtc"
A suspended sentence for anyone found d guilty of thhese alleged offences with a previous conviction for the very same is verging on fantasy.Anyone have a horrible feeling that a deal's been done? Torbett's 'nothing but the truth' will exonerate Bheast FC, put the blame on drugs/drink/stress/gangsters and some carefully selected dead accomplices and he'll have a doctor's line that says he has a terrible wasting disease. He'll get a suspended sentence and the mhedia will run with the line that it was nothing to do with their favourites.
Jhob done, justice shafted.
McNeill said it was an open secret around the club.My thoughts too it’s pretty common knowledge that Stein knew and sacked him but crucially did not inform the police. So why did Stein in effect cover up a crime? Equally I’m sure it was published that McNeil knew too and again didn’t report this to the police (not 100% on that one but something tells me that was published). Brazil’s book is fairly open about it also he at least was open about it.
That mob have like the RC church covered this up for years and in the secessionist republic it will remain covered up. It’s a horrible crime and the perpetrators should be jailed.
....and Jack McGinn, SFA president and Trophy Centre director, must have been complicit in the cover up, if not the actual activities.Kevin Kelly is up to his neck in the cover up.
No one in the Scottish media or judiciary system will ever take Celtic to task on the shameful cover up that took place.
Even the parents of the abused boys decided it would be best to keep " the good name of Celtic " out of it and allow the paedophiles and the enablers to carry on abusing.
Let there be no doubt that there was a full scale paedophile ring in operation at Parkhead.
