    Away from first-team and club matters, which were bad enough, another issue was beginning to raise its ugly head at the club. Within a month of my arrival one of the young players asked to see me in my office. 'Here we go,' I thought. 'That didn't take long. Here's a youngster in to complain about not being in the team. Straight away he's going to be into me to give him his chance.' He sat down and told me that he had had problems on a trip to North America with the youth team. One of the fellas in charge had made advances towards him.
    As a manager you expect to have to sort out all sorts of problems. But this wasn't one I ever saw coming. I was staggered. To be frank, I didn't know how to respond for the best. Clearly the kid was distressed about what had happened, but I felt I couldn't just approach the accused and ask him to explain himself without proof. My hands were tied, in a way. I felt completely stuck and out of my depth. I spoke to my staff. They were shocked. My gut feeling was that the kid was speaking the truth, but there was no mechanism within the club or within my experience to deal with it. It was a police matter if anything. Any investigation had to start with them.

    And that's exactly what happened.

    A couple of years later it all came out. Celtic Boys' Club founder Jim Torbett was convicted of sexual abuse of three players, including Alan Brazil.

    Frank Cairney, the manager of the Boys' Club, was charged but not convicted. It emerged that years earlier Jock Stein knew all about Torbett and kicked him out of the club. The wish to maintain the good name of Celtic, if that were ever a good enough reason, was the only thing that kept the issue from coming to light at that point. There was a string of allegations by young lads whose dreams of playing for Celtic were exploited, but it was the testimony of Alan Brazil, David Gordon and James McGrory that brought the matter to court, and Torbett to justice.

    If the MSM did their jobs properly and didn't bow to their ***** paymasters, they would be asking serious questions of Stein and monster whoppers getting flung up underage dungboxes.

    Why did Stein stay silent as farters were splayed?
    Why did Jimmy T and Lhads get free rein to stretch?
    Was chairman Dezzy White also involved in bum blasting the bhoyz?

    Joe Hart blooper, dodgy Var call against them, dodgy Var call for us, Red card for Mooy after a 5 minute Var check, Tavpen in the 95th minute.

    Carlseberg don't make beautiful Sundays, but if they did!

    The enlightenment was doing just fine until the Irish turned up.

    Much the same as every house party ever.
