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.

Brendan O'Neill is far more immoral than Eric Bristow's tormentors.

He is already going up in my estimation. care to explain why?

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.

Football is having its Saville moment. About time.

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

Chelski in the firing line now.

I thought only Michael Jackson was allowed to perform child abuse then pay to get away with it.

Flip me, they're popping up all over the place now:

2016-12-01 Hundreds report football abuse to police

Why am I reminded of that time a New York bus had a minor crash and a dozen or more bystanders quickly hopped on grabbed seats and started groaning and rubbing their necks?

Unlike that scenario, what do people coming forward falsely have to gain? Would financial recompense be likely in such cases (the Chelsea one where they tried to cover it up is different)?

2016-12-02 Chelsea FC 'paid me £50,000 over abuse'

Hmm ...

[OwlHoot]

I thought it was only public schoolboys that had sore bums

DOH - I should have said "sat down" instead of "grabbed seats".

[I just need to test it]

Sadly not.

But help me out here.

Yeah little kids should man up.

Idiot.

What did he say to provoke that? I honestly can't see it.
