Settlement agreed in Celtic Boys Club abuse cases
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpvr2117ev8o
Sun also reporting it saying ‘The legal firm confirmed around 70 per cent of cases have now been settled for a seven-figure sum - with further settlements expected in the coming weeks.’
Took far too long, but maybe some respite for the victims.

On a complete tangent and to maybe lighten the mood a bit-check the name of the reporter on this.

I'm slowly drifting away from social media. That might just be age as well but I don't have the energy for the nonsense on there anymore

I knew social media would be entirely toxic and ill-balanced. To be honest, I wasn't sure this topic would be treated with sensitivity and perspective even on here.
So I've spent the last few days on FF instead.

this is true and it disgusts me, a few years ago more information was being fed out about clubs with historical $ex abuse scandals and you could see people giddy about it.
rangers fans wanting more, celtic fans wanting a "see you did it as well"
wanting kids to be molested to satisfy some perverse need to throw shade at their rivals.

A place of calmness. Noble gentlemen commenting with a fair mind on the goings on in world football with no care for club, country, race, creed, religion or flavour of toilet water

Oh they absolutely would, I see enough comments about Rangers alleged side of this as well as the Ibrox disaster
