portobellojambo1 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Nope, never read that shite. It does prove how predictable those rags are when a thick bawsack like me can call it, sadly I just came across this story when reading a link on another thread about Dixie Deans and Bob Marley, as I too have no time for The Sun either. Wouldn't use it to wipe my erse with, never mind purchase it and read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin_T Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Disgusting story as per from The Sun, with the usual quote from a 'source close to the victims family' and a claims of a new victim coming forward who is now 15, but was 12 when allegedly abused, what age would that make CT at the time 15/16? He did wrong, he's been punished in more ways than one. The overblown nature of the coverage in the Scottish media has almost got me to the stage of hoping Hearts give him another chance.

Paolo Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 What a disgraceful article that encourages vigilantism and from a paper that happily publishes topless photos of 16 year olds for men probably twice Thomson's age and more to ogle over. Ok it is not illegal but is it better than a immature teenager having inapprorpiate talk with someone a few years younger than him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Agent Dale Cooper Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I'm guessing you maybe posted this having seen the Sun on-line this morning, which indicates he is to be subject to a further investigation. CT and the Sun sent this morning: Dear Myra, I would just like to make you aware that the above article was possibly, nay definitely, the worst i have ever had the displeasure to read. Yes, the general public are very aware of the heinous crimes for which Thomson has been punished however the scaremongering tone weaved throughout was childish at best, and it is prose such as this which whips the readership into an unnecesarry frenzy. If you feel it necessary to sharpen your pitchfork feel free to do this privately, but spouting this nonsense in public only leads to aggression and petty attempts at vigilante justice. Are you honestly criticizing a human being for the brand of car he drives, his scruffy hair, choice of attire and his "fumbling" keys? I hope for your credibility you never leave the house with unkept hair, or God-forbid...trainers. Arguing he "sneaked back into Scotland" is frankly fallacious when you consider the fact he attended an Alan Carr gig at the SECC (a large PUBLIC venue) with fellow footballer David Templeton. Further, are incorporating phrases such as 'whining player' the journalistic standards to which you and your paper aspire? Really?!? I am fully aware you and your newsroom will see this as a pointless rant to disregard or have a sly giggle over but I felt it necessary to make you aware of the above.

He's still officially on our books Cosanostra, and I think the Lithuanian season finishes at the end of this month. So it seems logical that unless another club has seen enough of him playing for Kaunas to make a bid then in around 3 weeks he will return to HMFC (Sure his loan is up then, I know when it was announced it said he was on loan to Kaunas to the end of the season, I'm guessing that meant their season rather than ours).

Then no doubt another paedo-geddon will ensue. As I said at the time, he probably should have been sacked by Hearts for gross mis-conduct, but the ludicrous hysteria since had now got me to the stage where I think he almost deserves a 2nd chance.

Guest Borat Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I quite like Alan Carr. The abuse of him on this thread is blatant homophobia by posters who usually greet at the first sign of non PC comments. :interesting: His hair looked curly and unkempt, and he clutched a plastic carrier bag as he arrived alone at the property earlier this week. Dressed in a black Nike tracksuit and white trainers, Thomson fumbled to find his door keys. Classic peedo behaviour to be fair. But did he sneak back into the country? Was unaware that being banned from entering the UK was part of his punishment. Can see Hearts fans siding with the guy on his inevitable return if this kind of journalism continues.

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Seriously though... As others have suggested, what are they hoping to achieve from this do you all think? As far as I am aware the punishment for this is not a death sentence... I may have missed the new law however, that's what happens when you cannot hack the right people's phones to make sure though, eh? It is abundantly clear to me that they are trying to either provoke vigilante action or to make him harm himself. I feel a wee bit sick at the sinister nature of that article...
