LongTimeLurker Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Shows there are not enough people like Fergus McCann, who will do the right thing by picking up a phone and dialing 999. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been a lot of people keeping their fingers crossed that no one else spoke out when he reported Torbett. Much easier to keep things quiet back then.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's what prompted McCafferty to leave Celtic for "personal reasons". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Last night's documentary was a hard watch and is on iPlayer. Not sure why folk have avoided the subject today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Prince Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Watched it when I got home from work. Absolutely appalling. That Torbett is a right creepy looking c**t as well. Disgusting how that Hepburn creep kept that secret all those years to protect a friendship as well instead of doing the right thing and reporting it. It boils my blood this whole scandal. Raping children? A slow torturing death isn't good enough for those horrible filthy c***s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son has played rugby at a decent level for club and county but the idea of him staying with his coach for a weekend is simply ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Guardian long read on Barry Bennell, who has been convicted of more historic child abuse. It's a tough read, but you have to ask yourself how he got away with it when there were clearly lots of people who knew exactly what sort of man he was and what he was doing. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/feb/15/barry-bennell-abuse-manchester-city-crewe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible some of the stuff, and how he managed to get away with it for so long considering the numbers involved and some of the genuinely mental things he did that people must have noticed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpaty Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Sentenced to 30 years. Might as well top him now, Dead Pool points would be appreciated as well as his death. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However reading that really does just make me think, fetch the noose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishyman Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 There's a crew on Facebook called Child Protectors Scotland. They out Paedos on film and then report them to Police, who then arrest the offenders. Friday night they outed a monster from Coatbridge who was arrested at the time. There was the usual calls in the comments for, hang, burn, castrate, nail him up, all of which I agree with. Then this guy came on, saying he was ritually abused in the Dundee area. Seemingly all up the East coast of Scotland ritual abuse of children including Satanic ritual abuse is rife. A truly disturbing read which left me totally uneasy and wishing never to have read such stuff. He didn't agree with what CPS did, he thought they were egoists. Make your own minds up on that. Suffer little children, heart-breaking. The amount of monsters out there is off the fucking scale. I know its not football related for which I apologise, but until Friday I was unaware what a massive problem it is in our own back yard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
