If Hearts had covered up abuse within its ranks in the way that Celtic have then yes I would stop supporting the club. Hence why I dislike Celtic as an institution and their fans for supporting them.
I’d be a hypocrite if I continued to support Hearts. Simple as that really

So are you still a Hearts fan? We employ beasts and refuse to sack them.
There is a difference between Thompson and Rix and organised child abuse sheltered under an organisation.
Rix should never have been at Hearts because of his past and Thompson should have been sacked much sooner. There is no doubt that Hearts acted wrongly/slowly in both these cases. However: Rix had been caught and served his time and as morally wrong as his actions were it didn't seem to be an organised project. Thompson was a sex pest on his own time and was not using the club's infrastructure to advance his behaviour. When he was caught there was no cover up.
These other historic cases are qualitatively different in that the individuals used the club's infrastructure to perpetrate their offences. And when they were caught the clubs turned a blind eye/didn't report to the authorities/have refused to apologise and compensate. These instances are much closer to the Saville case than Rix/Thompson.
Surprised Bill Kelly agreed to be interviewed. He could be on the phone to a glazier right now if the local neds were watching.
What a vile cunt he is though. Would be no less than he deserves; utterly remorseless.
*insert but enough about joke here*
And Judge Ross when sentencing Kelly in 1987 "the boys are adults now and don't appear to have suffered any long term damage".
Fuckin hell, they were still only about 18/19 years old.
