I think you're talking about BB being fucked off by folk? I've just been having a bit of a read, and it seems a number of former players (kids then) that were coached by Gradi said how professional he was, and how careful he was with boundaries. He does seem to have ignored or lived in denial over BB. It seems Gradi knew And not just about BB https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/aug/06/revealed-dario-gradi-could-have-stopped-serial-sex-abuser-at-chelsea https://m.allfootballapp.com/news/EPL/Former-Crewe-Alexandra-manager-Dario-Gradi-failed-boys-then-and-he-still-is-now/2578410 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-9372343/Dario-Gradi-did-not-consider-person-putting-hands-anothers-trousers-assault.html Quote

Cheese Posted August 24, 2023 Posted August 24, 2023 Yet folk moan that kids are "wrapped in cotton wool" these days... Fred and Rose West got away with their crimes for 3 decades back in "the good old days" when kids were turfed out every morning to roam around and do whatever they wanted... Quote

Given the amount of grooming gangs that have been allowed to operate with impunity of late 'the good new days' don't seem to be much better. Quote

Dr. Feelgood Posted August 24, 2023 Posted August 24, 2023 Truth is it was common rumour for years including while he was at it. The 'shock' in him being named was up there with Savile being outed as a nonce. Quote

They didn't tend to kill kids though (except his own) You thinking of Brady and Hindley? they nabbed kids off the streets Quote

Fred and Rose were at it for decades. Anyway, I'll duck out and leave it to those who continue to doubt Barry Bennell's victims because "they didn't come forward at the time".

I fell for it like most on the basic pretence of why would anyone be arsed making it up. Mildly exciting job compared to normal. Looking back the effort was incredible.

To keep it going for so long he deserves a medal similar to Kenny Dalglish Snr in phoenix nights. Edited August 28, 2023 by royal white Quote

Zico Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 Ha ha They were fuck all to do with each other Or where they? The question is Was Rudy a figment of Youri's mind Or was Youri a figment of Rudy's All a bit Fight Club if true Quote
perth_white Posted August 29, 2023 Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) So was Rudy proven to be a Walter Mitty type? I also believed him because why would you make something up and then put so much time into it just to fool idiots like me on a footie forum. On topic, peados should be thrown into active volcanoes. Edited August 29, 2023 by perth_white Addition of comment relevant to topic. Quote
