bennett Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 To be fair if the same fruit interview had been done on a Glasgow Sevco match day in Govan, a pineapple would have been met with exactly the same confusion. Don't talk stupid, it's a pineapple ffs. I was going to insert a witty joke but with the WKR in a complaining mood today, i'll leave it. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Scumbaggery hits an all time new low thanks to the WKR and his merry chums. So, you refer to me as a "WKR", and accuse me of "scumbaggery"? Care to elaborate? Bearing in mind your little mate has accused me of bringing up the subject of child abuse, thereby dragging this thread into the gutter, would you like to make an equally damning, and equally inaccurate accusation? Because that would be what it would be. You just can't help yourself. If you don't like people wanting to find out more about stuff like the disasters to have happened at your spiritual home, maybe tell your idiot chums to stop banging on about them - or it, as they seem to refer to a single event. Now I have taken time to have a wee read, I have to say that the whole thing doesn't exactly throw rangers into a good light. That is me stretching my diplomacy circuit to the limit, by the way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I'll take my "ruffling" wherever I can get it thank you very much. The man's only being honest. Sensible as f**k me. Insert Team: Celtic gag here: _ _ _ _ _ _ I've made a c**t of this You know what I mean though. I was following you until you wrote "I've made a c**t of this". Stupid as f**k, me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weirdcal Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 What i don't get is: The child abuse was the actions of one man yet apparently every one was in on it or 'knew' Yet, on the other hand.

Cowanthebluenose Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Really, never? You didn't notice the banner last season saying "peado free in division 3" or heard the "Big Jock Knew" chat? What about every time you lot come to Parkhead, you can always clearly be heard singing "who shagged all the boys, Celtic boys club" That's just a few examples, of the top of my head A section of your support loves child abuse, they have an unhealthy obsession with it. This cannot be denied. Thats hardly celebration is it? I like how Rangers are the bad guy here. I certainly don't think even you think that child molestation is fine but singing a song about it is the lowest of the low do you? FWIW the songs are shite and don't belong anywhere near my club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's celebrating, and it's a lot more than just songs. "I like how Rangers are the bad guys here" errr of course they are, they started and still continue this celebration of child abuse. Why are you trying to play this down somehow? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly don't think even you think that child molestation is fine but singing a song about it is the lowest of the low do you? Deciding to sing songs about child molestation in order to give it the GIRUY to your rivals.... hmmm let me think..... how much lower can you get, apart from committing the act itself? That whole sorry episode is best left unspoken at games out of respect for the victims, who for some are a convenient excuse for some point scoring. Child abuse is absolutely horrific and ruins lives, in fact in my eyes these songs are worse than all others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The liquidation was all the actions of Craig whyte and everyone else was just as surprised and they didn't know.. Regarding the boys club scandal, the songs are repugnant and as such I personally have never sang them as they have no place at a football game or indeed anywhere else. However as someone who was around during this time there are questions that should have been put to the club, such as why did officials,(not Stein ), not implement their duty of care to those lads, why did they not inform the relevant authorities of the allegations for an investigation take place and also why was the club never censured over the events by the SFA or indeed why didn't the SFA instigate their own investigation into the allegations. Whether people like to hear about this or not, these events happened and should have been fully investigated by the club and the relevant authorities, the fact that the club never informed the authorities means that the officials of the day, Kelly and White, failed the lads in their duty of care. Instead they put the name of the club before the welfare of these lads. That is fact and as such is also a matter of public record and as the questions are there to be asked. People can hold their hands up in horror and be offended but it is all true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'm right in saying there were never any formal or informal allegations made during that time, only 25 years later when he went to court. But at the time when roumors about his sexuality came out he was kicked out. During the court case all former Celtic board members denied under oath ever receiving any allegations about him . But luckily that scum got jailed , and no evidence of a cover up was ever found . Not to mention Brazil saying "there's no way jock knew about it) Considering this happened in a court of law it's surprising that Rangers fans have decided to ignore this (we know how they love to quote judges when it suits) Edited September 19, 2013 by captain kirk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngsy Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Youngsy seems to have quite a thing for the 'wee boys' scandal .. seems to bring up it up or talk about it on a regular basis ,,, especially on his meltdown thread. I think you'll find that I've not mentioned this on any regular basis, but if and when it comes up i'll say exactly what my opinion on it is, whether you like it or not. Perhaps you should try and look on it with criticism of certain individuals in your club at the time, instead of coming out with nonsense. It happened, it shamed your club. You and others can't deny that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingrodent Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Ho hum. I remember at the supposedly infamous "game of shame", the Oldco fans kept up chants about Big Jock Knowing for five minutes at a time. During that game, they did it because their team was shocking and was plainly doomed to defeat. They had nothing else to sing about, so they sang that one with gusto. As with the Oldco, so the new except now, it's not confined to matchday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bendarroch Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Scumbaggery hits an all time new low thanks to the WKR and his merry chums. Some of the justifications on offer from various plastics and diddies are as shameless as they are degenerate. I've been genuinely surprised by some of the posters - I wont be again. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People can hold their hands up in horror and be offended but it is all true. Child abuse happens across all religions and cultures. The problem is when its institutionalized, and committed by people with perceived integrity. All too often the people in charge get embarrassed, and are more focused on limiting the damage it might cause to their organisation. Like what happened with John Chalmers at your club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
