Tv programme about Torbett - new allegations.


Recommended Posts

The Scottish Government promised an investigation into historical abuse by Savile...what came of it?

 

I know this has nothing to do with last nights programme, but I was wondering, since it's well known for many years there are photo's (most likely from The Celtic View) circulating the net of Savile 'mixing' with club officials and those associated with Celtic.

 

Sorry if I'm going off topic, didn't want to start another thread on one question.

I just watched it on iPlayer and an extremely distressing experience it was. Shattered dreams ruined lives and I can still put myself into the mindset of boys that young back in that era and grasp why they were so reluctant to tell their parents. A very difficult thing to raise with anyone far less parents during an era before this was an openly discussed topic.

 

Then the other side of the coin aside from the distress of raising it with parents. If I talk about this will it end my dreams of being a professional footballer? The anger I feel towards these bastards is almost indescribable.

Take it from me there where a lot more than Torbett into it at Parkhead and a lot of people knew of the goings on within the club .

 

For a start there was Torbett, Cairney and the photographer who'd child pornography in his locker at the Scumdome.

Yes. https://www.hsselite.com It's a download and subscription service. They have a variety of prices for certain time spans and I paid $19.99 US for 6 months to try it out. Works perfect for me. Sometimes it might not connect to the UK proxy and if it does that you need to clear out your cache because if you have a previous version of a page with a cookie from your actual location that's what it will go with. Clear out the cookies and try again and it will then connect to the UK proxy and you can watch iPlayer.
