How Do You Think The Club Should Deal With Leigh Griffiths?

You reckon he was saying that anyone is welcomed at Celtic regardless of their religion of ethnicity or that our players should get * up and sing racist songs in pubs ?

If it is the former then it is completely irrelevant to any debate on Griffiths.

 

Willie Maley also said..........

'A man must be a Celt on and off the field. Otherwise he is of no value to this club.'

 

but like i have said before every person on here has done something they regret. The only reason that Griffiths is getting so much abuse from celtic fans is because he is new to the club. Can anybody genuinely say that they would give the same abuse to Larsson if something like this was to happen with him?

 

What did Griffiths sing that was so offensive that it's got a lot of peoples knickers in a twist that they have now been calling him a racist?

Seriously question as a haven't been keeping up way it or been in this thread all a know is he sang a song way Hibs fans and was caught on camera?

And did anyone else get charged or was it just him?

 

A racist song would be condemned by most of the Celtic support I would like to think. Regardless of who the culprit was, and how long he had been at the club. I think people need to stop trying to justify his actions by giving fictional examples of others, and just accept he was in the wrong. It's getting embarrassing now.

 

I don't think anything will come of the police investigation. If they were to charge Griffiths then they would need to charge everyone known to be in the pub singing.

It's Celtic I want to clamp down on him and make sure that this is the very last incident. If Leigh puts a foot wrong after this, out.

 

It has nothing to do with him being new to the club.

Larsson would have never sang Rudi Skacel is a * refugee.

 

Exactly, it's so embarrassing. A Celtic player in the year 2014, hoping to be playing Champions League football next year, was recorded drinking beer in a pub with a bunch of morons singing about another professional, calling him a refugee. It's * embarrassing for our club to have that guy. Could you really see Messi doing that? Ronaldo? Iniesta? Do you really think someone like Virgil or Lustig or Forster would be caught dead acting like that? It's so scummy and unprofessional. No way should he be let off the hook with this, get * rid of him.

 

The fact he's got previous with this sort of thing as well makes you wonder if it's worthwhile keeping him here. I've yet to see him come out with an apology to Skacel or to refugees in general.

 

I get the impression that he won't unless he is charged.

 

How can he come out and apologise whilst the police investigation is going on? His legal reps will be telling him not to say anything.

 

The point is that something like this would never have happened with Larsson. Larsson is a professional, Griffiths is a *.

 

Switzerland's top court says calling someone ‘foreign swine’ or ‘filthy asylum seeker’ is insulting, but not racist.

A Swiss policeman had appealed against his conviction for racial discrimination for abusing an Algerian man arrested in 2007 on suspicion of theft at a jewellery fair in Basel.

The Federal Tribunal said the unnamed officer’s actions were unacceptable.

Switzerland's top court has ruled a policeman who allegedly called a suspect a 'foreign swine' or 'filthy asylum seeker' was being insulting but not racist.

This is the closest I could find.

 

Griffiths did nothing wrong , nothing at all. In fact a think we should give him a pay rise and erect a statue of him outside the stadium in his honour.

All hail Sir Thumb Griffiths

 

Things have changed immensely in the last 7 years,especially
things like this.

There is far less tolerance (& rightly so) & probably far more /different
laws & restrictions in place.

It's like it used to be acceptable to most people to nip to "the *" shop.
It's not acceptable to most people now & when you add profanity or
vulgarism to a phrase like that it becomes even less acceptable.



edit ,, just noticed it was the police,,,,they can still use it

 

Oh Christ don't say that for * sake :smiley-laughing002:

 

Sorry I haven't quoted the whole article was on my phone. It was in court February this year.

Can't believe the majority have said apology.

 

This is like totes awky mo-mo.

 

He obviously meant people should not be prejudged on creed or colour like they were over at Ibrox. It has * all to do with judging people for being abusive towards others because of their nationality. Another quote that's often churned out at times like this is "a club open to all". Goes without saying that we don't welcome racists to our stands. I don't know why people interpret these quotes literally.
