What do you want the Scottish Government to do ? It’s a matter for the police & prosecutors. Governments shouldn’t get involved. I’m more interested in the football side.It’s the SFA who need to be seen to be involved which they don’t seem to be so far. For many years Celtic ran a very successful Boys Club which produced many players for them who went on to win honours in the first team. Would they have done so if the going’s-on in the Boys Club had been reported to the police as they should have been ? Given the number of convictions so far do the SFA intend to take any action against Celtic? Have they brought the game into disrepute? so many questions still unanswered 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Governments shouldn’t get involved Correct. Got to be said, though, that certain politicians going back to the days of McConnell, continuing through Salmond, Sturgeon and the current Justice Minister have not been slow to pontificate when it suits them. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you want the SFA to get involved although "it’s a matter for the police & prosecutors"?. The Scottish Government are happy enough to get involved when it's a touch line argument between ally and Lennon but shouldn't when it's a paedophile ring? There's no excuse for Sturgeon and Humza ignoring mothers who have had their sons sexually abused and then committed suicide. they should be launching independent public enquiries that don't exclude football clubs. It's a national scandal and it's shameful that the Scottish Government are avoiding it just because of the organisations involved. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 26th of foot 6,084 Posted February 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2020 If we go back 25-30 years, there was a regular correspondent with most broadsheet newspapers. He also participated in radio phone-ins. His name is Gerry McSherry, his published address would vary, but his opinions were constant. He was supported by the vast majority of Sellik supporters. Then, he got on the wrong side of the Kelly/Whyte - McCann debate. Mostly, he was ridiculed, and access to the debate was increasingly denied to him. When the abuse at Celtic Boys' Club first broke, Gerry McSherry claimed there were 14 separate abusers on the CBC staff. All were long term, and dozen of others were invited to participate on reciprocal arrangements. We appear to be up to six prosecutions and custodial sentences? It would appear Gerry McSherry's claims are proving to be increasingly correct. Simply, political expediency is allowing men who should be prosecuted to continue to walk free. The murder of Lawrence Haggart became a maelstrom of misinformation and disinformation. A teenage boy playing at CBC was murdered because the predators lost control. The then Daily Record Chief Reporter, Anna Smith splashed front page exclusive after front page exclusive claiming a sectarian motive to the murder. Often, she quoted a then senior Police Officer, Kevin Smith(no relation), adding weight to her claims. A most senior journalist and the man who became Chief Constable for Central Region deliberately ran interference. The voice of Gerry McSherry was deliberately drowned out. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Roberts 246 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 It's pretty damning that it's Alex Thomson that's being allowed to set the narrative for this news. No-one else has seen fit to pick it up and drive it forward. Even with the victims pleading for exposure. No politician or politically motivated lawyer or editor has seen (or been able to see) any mileage in this. Culturally we are so toothless and down-beat, to the point that celtic are able to stage-manage a global scandal at the time and manner of their choosing. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 They're making grave mistake. Everyone who colludes to obstruct the truth in this matter is risking their future because this will never go away and there are a lot of people who will ensure it doesn't. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
