Marmoset Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 The scary thing is there's absolutely nothing you can do to completely prevent it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 You need to go through all sorts of checks to coach kids football nowadays don't you? Was probably completely different thirty years ago or so mind, the BBC and parliament were riddled with them, doesn't surprise me that it happens in football one bit.

madras Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 The checks only check what you have done though. They can't check what you have got away with or haven't done yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, there needs to be strict safeguarding procedures in place throughout, I understood there are, but I may be wrong and don't know when they came in force.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Just seems like it was endemic in society. Pretty sure someone in my family was abused in the navy around the 70s/80s as well, seems like in any situation where someone had power over someone else and could get away with touching them up.

I was picturing Taggart and his backroom team being involved for the North West assaults especially as The Sun would definitely use the headline: FERGUSON PHELAN KIDD.

Big Geordie Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I heard the latest interview with Paul Stewart on 5Live, last night. Horrendous - he sounded genuinely all over the place. Seems this nonce who had targeted him, befriended his family, threatened their lives (to Stewart) and said he would fuck up his career if he told anyone. Bastard. Daft to think that this won't have been going on in football for decades, given the easy access to young lads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Glad things like this have come to light. It's fucking sickening, TBH. But it needs to get highlighted. I was abused by a so called 'family friend' when I was younger and only told the missus about 5 years ago and my Mam earlier this year. It really is hard to put it into words when trying to explain it. You feel guilty and ashamed of yourself and for years, I just buried it in the back of my mind. Can't imagine what it is like for people that have suffered far worse and for those that have to come out and speak to the public to raise awareness. It is a terrifying thought, for me. So I have ended up just announcing it on here instead. Solid logic Fuck it. I am seeing this stuff in the media all the while and I watched Spotlight earlier this year and decided I have had enough of keeping it bottled up. Feels good to get it off my chest.

steve_69 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Listened to one of the victims of Barry Bennell on Talksport last night. It was tough going as the guy was clearly struggling to talk about it and it was clear how much it had fucked him up. Thankfully, in very un-Talk Sport fashion, it was handled really well and I take my hat off to the guy who was being interviewed for his courage. Hopefully this stuff coming to light will stop the whole bravado act that persists in football and encourage the governing bodies to put some decent support systems in place for players suffering from mental health issues, abuse etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Aye I can see your thinking behind that one, like.
