BBC report club sacked a scout accused of sexual abuse 1988 but didn't report it

[Villa75]

There are too many people moralising with hindsight and 2017 sensibilities and don't have the level of understanding that nearly 50 years brings. These people are either, very young, very naive, or just being dishonest.

55, not naïve, have used the words nonce and mental though.

55 and never said;

Paki shop?
Chinky?
Spastic?
Retarded?
Queer?

Never told or laughed at a racist joke?

Never joined in with a racist/homophobic song at Villa Park?

Never patted/pinched a girls bum?

Where did you grow up?

Was it you who started this exact discussion and repeatedly peddled the "come on, admit it, we're all a bit racist aren't we?" line a couple of months ago on the John Terry thread? Let's not go through it all again.

Thanks, couldn't remember his name and had no desire to look it up again. Hmmmm indeed...

No, it wasn't me.

It is laughable though, that people of a similar age, living in the same society as me,growing up supporting the same team, but experiencing a completely different world, a future world similar to 2017 perhaps? I certainly don't recognise the 70's or 80's that some on here would have us believe existed.

I don't know why people can't just be honest, rather than trying to pretend they had the foresight - of 30 or 40 years - whereby they frowned (at the very least) when anyone said "come on you retarded Irish poofter, we're going to the Paki shop to get some beers from that black tart with the big tits, and then off the chinky".

It comes across as a bit pathetic, to be honest.

Back to the matter directly at hand.

Graham Taylor had nothing to lose by going to the police - if things were that black and white - as he had done nothing wrong with the young boys involved. The only logical reason he did not was that he thought it was best for the lad and his parents - possibly respecting their wishes at the time. To suggest anything else, when the man is not here to defend himself (a man who was well regarded by all), is a disgrace.

Could admin put a stop too this nonsense, please, by confirming we are not one and the same. It should be easy to do.

Thanks.

I am sure they could. I wish they would put a stop to your posts entirely though.

Fair enough, I'm glad to hear it. I was just pointing out the remarkable similarities between your post and one I remember from another thread. Have a look for yourself, I think you'll find it's uncanny. And just as unpleasant now as it was then.

I think it's pretty clear from the style of post that you are definitely not the same person.

[brian green]

Struggling to grasp how a person can be the same person.  All gone a bit metaphysical.  Hello dementia.

Honesty can be unpleasant, for those that don't like it.

It's actually liberating to recognise the mistakes of your own past, rather than pretending the mistakes only applied to others.

I'm, thankfully, not the same person I was 30-40 years ago. I'm not joining in the pretence that I was, somehow, morally on a way higher plane than my peers.

I should hope not. It must be exhausting enough being so superior to us all now.

If just being honest is superior, then it seems easy rather than exhausting.

It's all very well saying you wouldn't murder a gypsy nowadays, but in the forties, every one was doing it. People need to lighten up.

[Larry Duff]

I might be a bit thick here but Who murdered a Gypsey ?
Are you saying Villa 75 did ?  Are you saying He is a Hitler sympathiser ?

Was the population of Birmingham in the 40s all murdering Gypseys ?  First I have heard of it.
