Good summary from VB. It’s hard to understand why any Rangers supporter would ever vote for the SNP ... but some will find a way to justify it to themselves.

These bastards seem to be everywhere you look. Sometimes I wonder how many I've met and not known about ... going by the numbers being flushed out, probably quite a few. The SNP will keep them safe though.

St Pats FC Statement

 

JAMES McCafferty has pled guilty to offences he committed against young people between 1972 and 1996. Celtic Football Club wishes to express its regret and sorrow to those young people. 

McCafferty, who was employed by Celtic Football Club in the mid 1990s, committed these acts many years ago across a number of organisations, and all those who have come forward to report abuse and to give evidence deserve enormous praise for the courage they have shown. We offer our sincere sympathy to those young people, their families and all those involved.

These are very sensitive issues, particularly for those who suffered abuse. When the allegations were published in the media in 2016, Celtic Football Club encouraged any individuals involved to report all information to the police so that these matters could be investigated fully and the Club continues to encourage any victim of abuse to report these matters to the police. 

Celtic Football Club takes all of its responsibilities seriously, stands by its responsibilities and will continue to do so.    

The abuse of children has affected many areas of society, including football clubs, sports clubs, youth organisations, educational institutions and religious bodies across Britain.

Celtic Football Club strongly believes that children and young people involved in football have the right to protection from all forms of harm and abuse and is committed to ensuring this and to promoting their wellbeing through continued cooperation with our children and young people, parents and carers and the relevant authorities.  

Celtic Football Club was the first club in Scotland to appoint a safeguarding officer, responsible for developing our policies for the protection of young people, and monitoring and reviewing our procedures to ensure they continue to reflect best practice.

What a load of waffle. They offer sincere sympathy(if you choose to believe that) but nothing else.
They are refusing to take vicarious responsibility for their employees, nor any blame for allowing these crimes to go unreported.
As a comfort statement for the survivors and their families it is a non-starter.

Mealy mouthed, self serving, shite, which will fool no one, not even its support.

They will need to get Torbet and Cairney's big jar of vaseline out because it looks like squeaky bum Time in the cesspit .

Mark Daly has said that they haven't used the word the victims would want to hear (sorry), they've waited 10 days since the conviction of McCafferty and they've released it on a huge UK news day.

 

He's absolutely spot on.  

 

They are so flippin' obvious.
