"They are letting down this country on a massive scale"
@IanWright0 looks at Scotland's football vision and future moving forward... 🏴

Here are eight essential quotes from @RupertLowe10's Rape Gang Inquiry.
1) This was a nationwide, not merely local, phenomenon.
"...that this was never a series of isolated local failures. It was a coordinated, nationwide pattern of organised child sexual exploitation that repeated in town after town, city after city, from the far north to the south coast."
2) The scale was enormous, more than anyone dared to think.
"The scale of the crimes committed is staggering. It has been previously established that, at the very least, 250,000 young white girls have been subjected to repeated rape, gang rape, trafficking, torture, pregnancy, forced Islamic conversion, and lifelong trauma. The true number is probably higher."
3) As has been reported, the vast majority of perpetrators were Pakistani Muslims.
" In court records and official inquiries, around 87% of those convicted in these group-based child sexual exploitation (‘CSE’) cases bore distinctively Muslim names... Dr. Taj Hargey, an imam with the Oxford Islamic Congregation, believes the true proportion of gang members who are Muslims to be around 95%."
4) Vulnerable girls were targeted using a consistent method.
"Organised networks of perpetrators built coordinated operations that transported victims between locations, supplied them with drugs and alcohol, recorded abuse for distribution and blackmail, and passed girls between multiple adult men."
5) The police, and other institutions, knew what was happening and ignored it.
"Police forces ignored repeated reports, criminalised victims instead of perpetrators, destroyed evidence, and allowed known rapists to walk free on bail. Social care services undermined protective parents, placed children in trafficking hubs inside children’s homes, closed cases despite clear indicators of exploitation, and retaliated against whistleblowers. The NHS recorded genital injuries, multiple sexually transmitted infections in children as young as 13, pregnancies caused by rape, and suicide attempts, yet discharged victims back to their abusers without safeguarding referrals or trauma care. Schools observed older men collecting girls at the gates, heard disclosures of rape on school premises, and responded by excluding victims rather than protecting them."
6) Those in these institutions did so because they were afraid of being called 'racist'.
"Political correctness, fear of accusations of racism, and fear of losing electoral support from certain demographics have taken precedence over the protection of British children."
7) Parts of the foster and orphan care system became exploitation hotspots.
"Children’s homes became trafficking hubs where staff failed to stop older men collecting girls at night. Local authorities often returned children to unsafe homes and placements despite repeated disclosures of grooming... Social care across England systematically enabled organised grooming and the rape of children. Children’s services, local authorities, foster carers, children’s homes, and independent units repeatedly returned vulnerable children to known risk."
8) Multiple offenders explicitly linked their treatment of these girls with their own religious and cultural beliefs, and the girls' white ethnicity.
"They were taken to houses, flats, restaurants, and hotels where they were raped repeatedly by groups of men, tortured, filmed for blackmail, and told they were “white trash” or “kuffar” who merited punishment."
There must be comeuppance for this, and it must involve the death penalty.
“This is Kelechi Iheanacho. He has great technical ability and scores big goals in big moments. His defect is that he is 3 stone overweight.
He should be worth £30m, we can get him for fuck all”

“Only one won something though” 😎😂
Gary Neville on Arteta at Arsenal in 2022.
"He gets to fourth he'd probably say 'right, that's the best I can do there, I'm going now and getting my next job'."
😂😂
Carragher :
Martinez is not good enough for PL. Later, Carragher apologised.
Casemiro should leave football before football leaves him.
Later, Casemiro proved him wrong.
Jamie Carragher 🤡 is one of the worst football pundit.

First manager to be parachuted in mid season. First to immediately face a top of table clash, top Serie A team & a league cup final. First to inherit a squad so poor that Tiny Tim would lend him a couple of wing backs. First to endure a rabid pile on over the hunnishness of his magnetic markers, the green of his trainers & the thoughtfulness of his comments, in one of multiple languages in which he’s fluent.
This was really enjoyable and the type of analysis that Scottish football fans actually want.
Replace Boyd and Sutton with these two, or similar, and the coverage wouldn’t be as much of a laughing stock.
As close to Monday Night Football analysis as we’re likely to get 👏🏻
