    Good post and bang on. I'm not Broonie biggest fan but by * does he put the work in. When Rat arrived it was obvious Brown had let a few things slip and Rat reignited his hunger and desire to lift his form. If Leigh was half as commited to doing the same he wouldn't be in this situation.

    Still waiting on an answer to when he let himself, his manager and his club down.

    If celtics statement was about McGregor, we wouldn’t be discussing it and people would take it at face value. Because it’s griff, the media loves to * stir and sensationalise, and sadly there’s some of our fans that buy into it. Again, wait until we know what’s happened before making assumptions.

    You’ve dealt in conjecture more than you have facts.

    No its not.The one person that's criticised him that matters is Neil Lennon. No one else matters. Not anyone on here or in the papers. There fans some defending and some criticising. But most of the ex pros have criticised him and they maybe have more of an inside track to it.He really should have just kept his head down done the work to get were he needs to be.

    Neil Lennon hasn’t even made a comment yet.




    Imagine enjoying a takeaway on the weekend.

    Why are mentioning McGregor ?????? Griff has, not for the 1st time, lacked to prepare correctly, Under the Rat he also was criticised for his training. McGregor though, apart from his DD offence has never seemed to be in any sort of trouble on the field

    Love how it’s all Leigh’s fault he gets abuse because he has social media.

    Some amount of backward *.

    A lot of this language is similar to when opposition fans used the “he brings it on himself” stick to beat Lennon with.

    I get people are disappointed he has a fitness issue but I don’t understand why any Celtic supporter would be desperate to further the tabloid narrative and paint him as the pantomime villain.

    haha mate away and stop talking pish. You have no idea what’s actually happened so just let it go. I used McGregor as an example of another player that if the exact same information was released about, the reaction would be different.

    You are aware that even Messi has ‘unhealthy’ food and enjoys a drink now and again?

    That's some dietary advice !!!.The story is hes unfit to go on a trip to build of his matc sharpness and fitness. That's the story nothing else really apart from it's very disappointing that a senior international player has came back not at the agreed level of fitness. If you can't see why that's wrong then fair enough

    * me.

    For the last time....

    Hes came back unfit, so unfit that his manager had deemed him not ready for pre sesson friendlies.

    If he can't play in the 1st games we've had in 4 * months then he's not going to have the match sharpness to be ready for start of the season and will in turn miss vital league games and champions league qualifiers.

    That in a nutshell is how he has let his manager and club down. Its really pretty * simple.

    I bet he does but can't mind him even missing a game never mind being dropped for being unfit. Every single player has a diet and fitness program that they get told what to eat and drink, that what happens as I'm sure you are aware. Some players can eat probably anything and not put on weight, whereas others look at a chip and will put weight on. Leigh is long enough in the game to know his body and what he can eat or not, or missing a certain part of training and be okay. But it seems that whatever the "Unfit" issue is was a big enough reason for him to be basically dropped from the 1st teams pre season.

    If you don't see the major issue with a players having such an unhealthy meal the 1st couple of days back into preseason I'd suggest you have very little spo
    I havnt read a paper in years or clicked their online pish. The club stated he was not going to France bcoz he had to work on his fitness not some journalist.

    No way are the situations with Griffiths and lennon comparable and its embarrassing that you've even tried to compare them. Lenny was targeted by bigoted morons bcoz he was an Irish Catholic no other reason.

    Griffiths is getting stuck bcoz he's too * lazy to stick to a fitness programme

    To be dropped from the 1st team pre season squad isn't just the odd Kebab or Indian meal is it.
