    How thick is he? He knows everybody has a camera on their phone and eventually it would get passed about until the papers got a hold of it.

    Lennon must be * ragin, if he doesn't sack him he's going to look like a * after he made that zero tolerance statement.

    I put unsure as my vote, I will go with whatever the club decides.

    Guy's a good player but if he does stay he needs to stop this daft *.

    This is another good point. He has put Lennon in a lose lose situation really. With the statement he made, it's a no brainer, he has to be shown the door.

    How exactly is this racist? Rudi Skacel was white and European last time I looked. Is it racist to make fun of English? French? German? or does it start at a further distance? :31:
    Fwiw Liegh should have known better, if he'd been playing any other team this would'nt have been news imo. In fact, the big deal being made from it in the media is actually anti Celtic because of Scottish 'racism' against the Irish/Catholics, or maybe we live too close to Scotland for it to be racism.

    It is discrimination on the basis of nationality, which is as bad as discrimination on the basis of race.

    How anyone can claim to be a Tim and defend this monkey's actions is sickening. A monkey who could still be facing jail time for his racist tweet last year.

    The notion that we should lower our own standards in order to avoid pandering to the biased media is ridiculoues. We are Celtic, and our standards are higher than everyone elses.

    But speaking with some common sense, lennon has already alluded to the zero tolerance policy, as well as stating that LG was on his final warning after the discovery of the first video.

    Either he show him the door, or we look like a soft touch who values a bottom line over honour and integrity.

    he has to go.

    end of.

    I think he should get a ban until the end of the season but with the media pressure I fear he may be sacked

    If he does remain he will be skating on very thin ice

    What are the odds on him ending up back at Hibs if we sack him? :smiley-laughing002:

    Even if we wanted rid of him in the summer, we'd be held to ransom. Clubs would offer derisory amounts due to us wanting to offload a player who has shamed the club.

    And Lennon thought he had his hands full with Watt! :smiley-laughing002:

    If he's allowed to stay on, which I can't see to be honest, then judging by what we've seen of his off the field antics both, whilst being here and before he arrived, then I don't think he'll last very long after this one either. He just seems to be a magnet for trouble, which is unfair as I imagine some of it isn't his own doing and he's just caught up in the mess. But instances like this are no good for him or the club and if I'm honest, I don't think Leigh Giffiths, or any player, is worth the black mark that this episode will undoubtedly put on Celtic if he remains at the club.

    Would prefer him to be transfer listed rather than sacked, if we are going down that route. It's a shame because I think he had won a lot of his doubters over with his performances on the park and he has wasted it for himself.

    I don't think we would lose any money to be honest.

    I think he's more of an idiot than a racist, fine him heavily etc...

    Call for the other Hibs fans singing it to be arrested.

    In defence of Griffiths, he starts/leads the singing but even the video has no proof of him singing the racist line. He also sits down when the other Hibs fans starts singing it.

    Another chance. I'm more annoyed at the snide wee * that thinks it's a good idea to film it and put it on the computer.

    The wee bawbag who asked the question that stopped the conference seems well chuffed with himself. Saying on twitter "it's my job to ask hard questions" and * like that, unless of course he's enjoying some lamb then there's no need to ask any questions.
