Club statement

This private investigator must be shit hot, he has only be on the job 12hrs. Unless of course the club have knowingly swept stuff under the carpet. Imagine paying a player to keep quite so a pedo can be protected and possibly continue with his activities.

I'm afraid that this might just be the tip of the iceberg.

Wasn't a large part of the long-running feud between Pele and Maradona down to some very ill-advised comments that Diego made about Pele's sexual abuse as a youth footballer in Brazil?

Heart breaking piece. I fear we're only scratching the surface.

Eric Bristow needs a good smacking!

 

[suburbanexile]

I thought Bristow must have been pissed when he wrote those tweets. But he is standing by his original statements, just putting them in a new context, that if you stand up to them, the perpetrator gets caught and he can't abuse any longer.
But the issue with this is the abusers deliberately pick on the quiet, shy ones.
Bristow is out of order and sometimes his worst enemy. I've met him before and he's a funny bloke, but obviously not the most sensitive of people.

One would hope that the Chavs have opened themselves for possible criminal prosecution if this has allegadley happened? We need Smoked Salmon for a legal def>

The whole story gives you second thoughts when laughing to Peter Cook's Wiggins sketch.

Gymnastics and swimming are the obvious sports to think could have a similar issue.

But let's be honest, it's a pandemic.

After the olympics I went on Youtube and entered gymnastics, hoping to see some highlights like the brilliant floor performances from the American girls. All that came up was stacks and stacks of videos of young girls in leotards. Shocker.

 

[Mr S Pippo]

Remember some years ago, he threatened to sue anyone who suggested he was a kiddy fiddler-or looked like one-allegedly?

Didn't know that.

FA have suggested they will severely punish any club (no matter how big) if found they have covered up their wrong doings? Chelseas have been mentioned once, on the news in regards of paying victims to keep quite. Watch this space, could we see points deduction as well as fines if found guilty .

Hope they are found guilty and punished serverlly. Apparently 52 clubs have been implemented so far and numbers are increasing every day.

Would not hold your breath on points deduction. In any case points reduction punishes the fans who are innocent.

It makes the fans unhappy, but it punishes the organizations, which is appropriate. Fans may not like it, but the clubs, if in the wrong, will deserve retribution.

I'm going to say something North American Spurs fans will probably instantly get, but which UK fans might not.

Dario Gradi may prove to be the UK's Joe Paterno:

I thought Dario Gradi was implicated in something unsavoury a few years ago... can't remember what though...

I may be (and often am) wrong!
