    They also "have" apologised despite not being able to due to Lawyers. Dev's been all over the shop, twisting himself in knots, trying to defend Ra Sellick. Poor guy's going to have to backtrack massively in the coming months.

    You still haven't replied to the "sorrow" meaning sorry fiasco.

    I feel deep sorrow that you think that I haven't.

    They expressed "Sorrow", that can mean many things, I suppose it all depends upon your viewpoint or personal interpretation. If they used the particular word that you are looking for in this case ie "Sorry" then what - if anything - would that imply? Guilt? Penitence?

    I honestly don't know. Are they avoiding using the word to distance themselves, to avoid blame? If so, what are they to do, say sorry for the actions of others who have not been at Celtic Park for a long time? I'm sure the Kellys and the Whites would not take too kindly to people apologising on their behalf and making tacit admissions that those families were involved in a cover up. That's when other lawyers will get involved.

    **** the Kellys and the Whites and the rest of them, publish and be damned would be most people's attitude, and I agree, but then I'm not a lawyer and I'm not party to the professional legal opinion being given to Celtic FC on what they can say and what they should never say. Maybe they were told to avoid the word "Sorry", who knows?

    I've yet to hear or read of anyone defending any of the perps, far less Torbett. I know he's become a bit of an Icon within the Hun fraternity but Celtic fans are not too keen on him.

    So it is how I said. They have danced around it but not actually apologised. Cheers.

    No I never said that at all. You don't happen to agree that "expressing sorrow" is the same as saying "sorry", personal interpretation as I said.

    The best judges of any apology Celtic may have made are the victims and their families. They don't think they have had an apology so they haven't had an apology and no amount of gibberish is going to change that.
