    Dundee v Whoever They're Playing This Weekend (Or maybe that should the the other way round)

    Obviously I wasn't out there planting a boot on the pitch last Saturday but essentially it looked absolutely fine... you'd hope whatever temporary fixes Dundee have work again. If you could net on it, I reckon it'll get played Wednesday as planned.

    Personally I wouldn't mind it being delayed a week if needs must but you imagine Motherwell (and Hibs obviously) would go tits about sporting integrity given forcing Dundee to play behind closed doors on Thursday, say, would suit us perfectly.

    They’ve got a European game next week

    I agree with all of that.  Anything that helps the victims for me or makes life easier should be done.

    Nobody should use such an atrocity as any form of point scoring nor a way to try and belittle sporting success but it should be in the public eye.   Even if we won't know everyone, if people are known to have known about this then it should be revealed. 

    I can’t remember the guys name but there was a running joke in junior football from the 70’s to 80’s about a physio you’d go to if you fancied a new pair of boots.

    Don't think he ever got reported but got rinsed by many for new kit, before he got a doin’.

    Although that’s another issue, years gone by a lot of these things were dealt with very differently.

    If he knew and failed to say anything then he should be.  As should any former players, managers and coaching staff.   regardless of their standings in Scottish footballing history.

    I’m all for it, even if I think it’ll change utterly f**k all to the way people view a clubs success.

    Ultimately, the names of those that knew about it or covered it up,  be it true it not, are already very much out there. Especially at Celtic because, well, certain fan bases seem to think it’ll result in title stripping and the club to die. So a lot of digging was down, some of it very good work.

    It’s obviously a bit more difficult with all of the names flung out by some in desperation to tarnish club achievements as it’s muddied the waters.

    Then there’s all the cases across Scottish football at varying levels, it’s been going on and hidden at so many clubs, down south included that, let’s be blunt, we’ll never know everyone that was involved or complicit.

    Victims of this will know of former staff/managers who knew and decided to cover it up.   How do you think that makes them feel when they are known as heros?

    In the same way that anyone that knew about the likes of Epstien was up to but decided to not say a word (prince andrew anyone) employees of celtc who knew this was going on and swept it under the carpet should be put to shame at the very least for helping cover up these crimes against young boys.

    Can’t wait for wee Shug the janitor to be named and shamed.

    Hopefully it also means full accountability and it should be made known all former players/staff/managers of the club who knew about it but decided to do or say nothing about it while this vile abuse was taking place.

    As far as I'm aware It's a civil case for compensation and being paid out of court so I doubt much of the information will be disclosed. I doubt anyone is still around at the club now from then too so not quite sure what your getting at really.

    He’s talking about former individuals, but I’m not really sure what he’s looking for would actually accomplish either.

    See that Celtic have agreed to pay compensation for the child sex abuse scandal.

    Article I read was on The Times I’m sure so a reasonable source and it talked about multi-millions in terms of compensation. 

    Been in the works for some time, offer was made to the solicitors representing the victims (Thompson’s?) months ago.

    The usual gremlins have jumped on it demanding titles being stripped, position on the stock market investigated etc.

     

    Can only hope this brings some closure to the victims and their families for the abhorrent acts that went on.

    If you have a bug bearer it should be about VAR in general because no way is a ref going to be able to look at that and not award it when it’s a clear boot to the knee. Nothing to do with what team it happens against a ref is always giving that. 

    I’m not going to die on a hill over it, maybe my view on it is being skewed by the fact Silva went down screaming every time the wind blew or anyone came anywhere near him.
