Frank Cairney Celtics Boys Club manager

Fergus McCann for all his faults tried to do the right thing, those around him in his club tried to make it difficult, he tried to get rid of the bigotry and smash the abuse that had went on since the 60’s and was left astounded at the lengths some had went to cover it up.

Having heard from the horses mouth about how the abuse was covered up, imo this was a well organised unit and persons who are no longer on this planet would have some serious questions to answer about their deception.

The death of Lawrence Haggert is another that should be reviewed ASAP
 
The worlds changed since the nineties. There was very little compensation culture and very few came forward probably due to embarrassment. This time theres over a hundred giving statements as they think there could be a few quid in it. It's also why Lawells getting the press on message that the boys club was a seperate entity. Cairneys 82 and might not see this out. I'd imagine even if he snuffs it these people will still seek compensation. So if it was a seperate entity why did they play at Barrowfields? What was Torbett doing inside Parkhead to get booted out the door by Bawface?
 
The dam will burst all it takes is one little thing and the dominoes will fall



Daly the other week putting out a story that Rangers passed an alleged victim onto the liquidators for a compensation claim



Stuck out to me that the mentally challengeds will be using that as their get out clause club was under different ownership then


I think somone has got to daly
 
Who investigated the abuse claims for the Penn state incident ..was it broke in the American national news

First of all I apologise if this has been covered elsewhere but I don't remember hearing or seeing it. My boy left his copy of The Digger in my kitchen today I decided to have a read of it sitting in the sun. To my surprise Page 19 has a story of said Frank Cairney appearing at court last month on charges of historical sexual abuse and has to appear at court on August 10. Now that is the part I remember seeing on our so-called professional news on TV or Print. What I didn't know is what I read next is that he faces 10 counts of historic abuse between the years of 1965 and 1986 was never one taking things in at School but I make that 21 YEARS. Also saying that all his victims were between 12 and 16 and most shocking of all they are looking at statements from a potential 102 YES 102 Witnesses. You would think a massive story like this would be getting reported on a daily basis makes you think really does make you think

The Blessed Saint Tommy of the Calton personally vouched for him. How can this be so?

Inspector clouseau could put some of these these bingo buzzwords together and find the guilty party.

Not one investigative reporter in Scotland can do likewise. Strange. It’s almost as if there was someone controlling the media up here from on high for 15 years (we’ve heard of very recently?) stopping a Spotlight style/Boston globe expose.

Forget reporting anything. There should have been a media presence outside the court filming Torbett/Cairney/Mcafferty/King and the rest just as there was a media scrum every time Green or Whyte made an appearance at court. Filming or photographing them and making people aware that they are there accused does not prejudice anything.

I knew Hughie Stevenson fairly well and he was involved with my scout troop. Later on I came across him loads of times as he reffed in our local league. We were all aware he was gay but I never once heard any rumours of paedo.

Hugh Stevenson was a paedo on an industrial scale as time will prove.

All active at the same time. All known to each other. This simply must, must be a peodophile ring and it’s disgusting cover up to protect the good name of the club for 30 years, while the abuse continued, is THE most horrific story in the history of sport.

Bloody sordid despicable club. Cannot wait until every detail is made public and all the Peados get jailed and the victims get compensation from scum fc.
 
I worked beside Cairney's Brother and never knew that he was his Brother until I left.

As per usual he knew everything about our tax cases, EBT's etc. (and as if butter would't melt.)
 
Let's not forget Tommy Burns was a close personal friend of Cairney and backed him fully when the first accusations were made public, Burns will have been pivotal in keeping Cairney out of prison, he he was the manager of Celtic and stated publicly he believed the pervert was innocent.

Burns may or may not have known of what Cairney was doing, but he is another to be written in history as an enabler of child abuse:

THE OTHER SIDE OF PARADISE
Scotland on Sunday 18/08/1996

"Last week, as the story developed from allegations against Torbett - who was suspended from the boys' club six days ago - to claims that Cairney fondled boys as they sat in the front seat of his car, many men with long associations with the club began to grow uneasy.
Former players backed Big Frank whom they knew as a "father figure" and Burns rushed out to Cairney's terraced home in Viewpark,
Lanarkshire, after receiving a call from the man he considers a close friend. Leaving his house the manager was reported to have said:
"He [Cairney] has the whole of my backing and that of Celtic Football Club to a man."

The following morning Burns must have been wishing he had bitten his tongue. Incandescent at his manager's assumption that the club
would back Cairney, McCann issued a statement. "While I sympathise with Tommy Burns' personal position as a friend of Mr Cairney,
the club cannot condone or defend or take sides in a matter which involves a criminal complaint," he said."
 
I really hope Dave King asks the SFA why CFC have not been charged with disrepute for covering up the historic abuse scandal

Torbett was convicted and jailed - No SFA charge against Celtc

Torbett again up in court this year and due to appear on further charges of abuse on separate people at Celtc BC

If convicted again the Tims cannot get away with the shite that the Boys Club was a separate entity to CFC

Next up Cairney

Plus the other 2/3 on other child abuse charges

Surely Police Scotland will be interviewing McCafferty the Tims kit man. No way is he not connected to other incidents in Scotland

Also did McCafferty not call Lawrence Haggert the day he was murdered in Larbert?

Haggert was a player at Celtc BC

Join the dots FFS

McCafferty was initially a suspect in the boys murder.
 
Better to stick to the facts.

Sometimes on FF names seem to be thrown in, waters are muddied, wronged parties cry foul and the initial message is forgotten.

The Sinister Six

1) torbett
2)cairney
3)mccafferty
4)king
5)Cullen
6)strachan

As far as I know all convicted, or soon to be convicted. All known to each other. All overlapping timeframes. All Celtic.

Not once have we read an article connecting the dots. Never.

Please stick to the facts guys and this might finally get the audience it deserves. It will blow the lid off that place once and for all and I hope everyone complicit in the cover up gets it as well.

When you look at the reports from the trial it’s a big concern the way the Police handled the matter

McCafferty is a dodgy bastard

Phoning a murder victim the day he dies. It’s very coincidental is it not?

I firmly believe this goes deeper and deeper and the cover up is going deeper and deeper

He's very much alive . . . although suicide to protect "the good name of celtc" is a possibility!!

I am sure he will wait until the day before an important match when ra Sellik have a few injuries and suspensions.

Then he might take 'one' for the team.

The 'one' being a passing express train.

It may have been under different ownership, but it was club officials who were responsible for facilitating crimes and then covering them up to protect the good name of the club.
The club remains fully responsible for the actions of its officials regardless of any change of name ownership or other device to protect them.

I agree completly but you know that they will do there best to lie deflect deny the celtic way
 
Cairney was the one involved in the boys club coming home from Boston early. Club officials met them at the airport begging kids parents not to go public etc.

Evening times was only paper I remember covering it . Cairney was off work for some time after it he was a mate of mines boss . He got glowing endorsements from Burns and Nicholas at the time saying it was all lies etc .
 
Frank Cairney was ‘the one that got away’ until recently but it has all caught up with him......the question is though: Who is next?

There must be some bookies favourites in there.

This is true.

Reliable source told me that when Burns got the Celtc managers job he told Fergus McCann that he wanted to bring in Cairney to head up youth development. Apparently Wee Fergus didn't even look up from his desk and said "do that and I'll sack you immediately".
It should be recalled that in his first few days at Celtc, McCann said that he was told about child abuse at CBC by his taxi driver who was a victim. McCann ordered the taxi to turn around and went to the police station with the guy.

Mccann was the only one who did anything about the parkpeeds, the old celtic athletic board covered it up for 30 years.
 
If you dare mention Burns to a mentally challenged possibly being involved some way they become furious!
 
The scum will tell you this was the Boys Club and has nothing to do with the club itself. Yet I can remember loads of articles in the papers in the 70s and 80s extolling the merits of the Boys Club and the string of youngsters coming through into CFC itself and they were more than happy then to be associated with them. Add in Stein's actions (and silence), Burns, McNeill and the rest and there is one massive can of worms there just waiting to be opened. But are the Scottish press willing to report it as it should? They seem to be doing their damnedest to keep it as much under wraps as they can. They are corrupt and complicit in the whole sorry affair for me.

It’s impossible to draw any other conclusion. The press and politicians in Scotland, not to mention all those associated with this disgusting club who knew, deserve to rot in hell for covering all of this up. Absolutely despicable.

The sad thing is that its still getting covered up.

Exactly what did Tommy know? He's always painted as a good guy but definitely was something fucking sinister going on.

A family member of mine was involved in running a SYFA football club and became good friends with another manager of Celtic Youths. A bigger Tim you could not find or a nicer man.

Burns was well in the know about Cairney and his deeds. If my mind serves me correct something re a youth team tour of America and that dirty b@stards seedy acts.

Anyway said guy wanted to blow the whole thing open to everyone and he was on the end of his tyres being slashed, excrement shoved through his door and even Death threats.

Pretty horrific for a man with a young family at the time.

Utter shameful and disgusting the deeds that this clubs employees have committed the last 5/6 decades.

Should be all brought into the open once and for all.
