    Its a seperate entity. It has its own chairman. Some of the Celtic board may also have been on board of cbc.

    This would mean CBC are liable, maybe some individuals connected to Celtic, but not Celtic.

    Thats all Dev is saying to the baying mob.

    I'm no argument expert, but I believe he was not in total agreement with your view that Celtic boys club and all the noncery attached not having anything to do with Celtic FC .

    Aldo in full flow? You posted what, half a dozen posts denying Celtic had anything to do with the *****philia that went on at Celtic Boys club. I have made three posts .

    You are doing a fine job excusing CFC. McGinn would be proud of you.

    I haven't witnessed any coming from you or Dev. Plenty coming from me that you two seem to be ignoring.

    It's a Tim thing I suppose.

    You posted a link to an article in an newspaper, you can't provide me with evidence that Celtic Boys Club is run by Celtic FC or evidence (actual evidence) that a cover up was carried out. You can't because there is none - which is what I said all along.

    If Celtic are in any way responsible then they should of course compensate the victims, I'm simply telling you why I think no one has asked for compensation yet. It's only my opinion.

    Ironically, McCann was playing out, more than three years on, a sad little tableau which had occurred at Parkhead under the old
    regime, ruled over by the Kelly and White families. In 1991 the boys' club had been to Kearney, New Jersey - an annual tour to the Irish
    part of the state with players staying at the homes of Catholic families -and one boy, no longer at Celtic but now a professional player in
    Scotland, had alleged to his hosts and to his own family that he had been assaulted by the team's general manager, Frank Cairney.
    The boy's father took him to Celtic Park to have it out with Liam Brady who was then only months in the job as team manager. The
    club's chief scout John Kelman was also present.

    It was Brady's first serious and most affecting problem in a troubled time at Parkhead which did not last long. He listened to the boy,
    believed him, and insisted to the board that Cairney had to be removed, not only from the boys' club but from any association with the
    main football club. So, overnight, the man who was used to having his run of the place and the ear of the management, was cast out.
    It was agreed, by Brady, the boy and his parents and the then Celtic board, that the police would not be informed. The young player
    was assured that the alleged incident would have no effect on his future career at the club. However, signed statements were taken by
    Celtic's lawyers from the four adults who had been on the New Jersey trip. All were sworn to silence.Cairney was now away from the football club and its nursery - business commitments was the given reason - but Jim Torbett was backplaying a major role, first as a fund-raiser then back with the boys' club. Torbett had maintained his connections with Celtic. Pre-
    McCann board member Kevin Kelly, still honorary president of the boys' club, is a fellow director of Torbett's company The Trophy
    Centre, and current board member Jack McGinn is an employee.

    It is not clear why a man widely regarded as a child abuser was allowed back into a position of responsibility at the boys' club. Torbett
    had been kicked out in 1976 after being confronted by the committee and, according to Frank Cairney's account of the meeting, had
    broken down in tears and confessed. He was then summoned to a meeting with Jock Stein, at the end of which the big man physically
    kicked him out of the door. And just to ensure that the boys' club stayed clean the legendary Celtic manager brought in another man,
    Hugh Birt, as chairman of its committee.

    Birt claims he was concerned about the behaviour of both Cairney and Torbett - who wheedled his way back in after Stein's death - and
    raised the matter with the club. Before he knew it Birt was asked to resign. When he stood his ground and refused, he says, Celtic
    withdrew his ticket to the directors' box and he had no option but to get out.

    I posted a link to newspaper article where four, that's FOUR former Celtic boys club coaches came forward and said that there was a cover up and it was Jack McGinn, Celtic Chairman who initiated that cover up. How much fùcking evidence do you need. Are these witnesses not to your liking. Do you think the have an axe to grind with Celtic football club?

    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."

    Hmmm!
