RANGERRAB 3,671 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Anyone who expects Celtc FC to suffer in the press or forfeit titles because they knowingly re-employed a paedophile is, unfortunately, kidding themselves on. I watched the film Spotlight and then checked if that repulsive abomination in Rome, the Vatican, still hoards priceless artefacts and immeasurable wealth...guess what, it does still exist. We don't live in a fair world and Celtc, like their mother church, are bloody good at corruption and cover-ups. I don't think they'll forfeit titles but action will need to be taken if they've attempted any sort of cover up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I don't think they'll forfeit titles but action will need to be taken if they've attempted any sort of cover up. What action? We are claiming the people that ran the club and the backing firm were the bad ones but when it comes to Celtic we want to claim it is the club that is wrong. surely we can't have it both ways. I can understand that people want Kelly done and maybe Stein shown up but action against the club is a dream as it won't happen. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 If they covered it up for sporting advantage the trophies must go. Weve already seen testimony that hibs did exactly that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the gunslinger 3,366 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 You only have to convince people they tried to. Weve seen testimony hibs did exactly that. Though they won nothing. You would still expect mamouth punishments. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would still expect mamouth punishments. I hope Kelly and his cohorts are brought to justice for their part but I will be shocked if CFC get any punishment. I will also be honest that the people getting punished is more important to me than the club getting punished. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,671 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 How can you prove it that they gained a sporting advantage? If a paedophile ring was operating within the club & they covered it up in order to prevent action being taken against the club then that is very serious indeed. That action could have been in the form of the club being suspended or demoted or various other sanctions. If Torbet, McCafferty etc are convicted then I believe the SFA would, as the governing body of Scottishfootball, need to investigate the club involved to determine whether it gained any sporting advantage were there a cover up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 15,294 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Celtic won't lose a single trophy despite being implicated in such appalling activity. Don't expect anything else. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,671 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 As part of the UK child abuse in football investigation I think that if any English Clubs are found to have tried to cover up anything the English FA will not hesitate to take action against them. I'd like to think the SFA will do likewise to Scottish clubs. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
