Football is having its Saville moment. About time.

One can hope the end of child abuse will be soon.

Indeed, at the end of all this if it means that kids can simply be safe when just wanting to play football then all the better.

The FA have a lot to answer to, turns out they pulled the funding for this back in 2003.

Edit can't find the link but it's on BBC site.

They do - but the people who need to answer for it the most of those that perpetrated it.

So lets keep the focus on those people hey?

On the one hand you have someone with a hardwired predilection for kids. On the other hand you have someone who says "yes please spend most of your week watching them in the shower". That's like offering a starving diabetic a lollipop. Plenty of blame to go around, we don't need to pick one of them for it.

We've spent decades criticising the Catholic church for what some people have done. Same principles apply to the FA. The question is surely if this was any kind of organised thing, a secret network with people covering for each other... or if it's lots of independent individuals alone with a squad of boys and none knew they weren't the only one with the key to the chocolate factory.
