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

Off course they're going to slate Celtic and Griffiths in the press and media because Griffiths was stupid enough to do it. A few fans have already been charged for singing the same song so why would he be different? SFA can't do much and will probably say it's upto Celtic to punish him. Police are involved since there was obviously complaints about it.

 

Those poor huns,how do they sleep at night..

Next you'll be telling us that calling one of the dads pinky and the brain,falls into that category..

 

No because neither relates to persons race or nationality.

This really has * all to do with the Daily Record.

It is obvious there are plenty of Celtic fans who fully understand the Daily Records track record and are very unhappy with Griffiths actions.

 

neither does being a refugee ,other than it being someone who has had to leave their country,its blatantly the daily record trying to turn it into a circus there was also loads of fans that hated the idea of griffiths signing here anyway

*??

 

As I said before, the guy should never play for Celtic again.

For a club formed by refugees, for refugees, to tolerate this kind of behaviour from one of their employees would be scandalous. Particularly when the club are complicit in criminalizing and banning their own supporters for singing Irish songs which no right minded person with even the slightest grasp of history or politics could find offensive.

 

We absolutely shouldn't tolerate it. I'm really upset with the way this seems to be being swept under the carpet so far. However, there aren't only two options (to let him away with it or get rid of him). I more and more feel sad for this guy. We need to help him and that includes helping him to see the problem with some of his views and to make amends.

 

Why? This guy's got previous. He has been punished in the past, and has clearly learnt nothing. Celtic don't owe him anything.

I can only imagine what the club would do if a 'fan' was caught singing a similar song at Parkhead! I bet they would be quick enough in releasing statements, issuing suspensions and bans etc. The club should practice what they preach, and send this scumbag packing.

 

Just something wrong with your post, Celtic was not formed by refugees and not formed for refugees . Apart from finding someone guilty before he has been tried your post is reasonable .

 

That's just the point: he's been punished in the past and learned nothing. The only thing he's learned and ever will learn from that is to feel bitter and hard done by and to get better at hiding his views. The guy is damaged and vulnerable. If we help him both to see why his views are a problem (especially at Celtic) and also to make amends for his actions, two good things come out of it that don't come out of the two extreme options (carpeting him or letting him away with it): firstly Leigh Griffiths will not have issues with racism this time next year, he'll see for himself why such views are harmful and ignorant, secondly he'll feel he's found some of the acceptance he so clearly craves and thus will be given a little space to start to grow as a person, stop being so stupid and ignorant, etc.

 

If you have so little time for the club why are you supporting Celtic .
What has having previous got to do with whether he is guilty on this ocassion.

 

It's obvious what he meant if you look at his avatar, ulsterscot.

 

Thank you your post makes a * of a lot more sense than what the posters with their own personal agenda have .

 

Top post mate, Looking at it from both sides of the coin very well indeed

 

This is a 23-year old man we're talking about! Someone who has sent racist messages in the past, amongst a wide range of other dubious activities. If he needs the club to take him aside in order to educate him that singing about '* refugees' is unacceptable at this stage of his life, then I'm sorry but he's too stupid to be helped.

 

Are you still putting your trust in the police ? How naive of you ! I would have thought you would be sick to the teeth with the lack of investigation by the police when it suits them , not hearing any racist singing at Ibrox , not finding any evidence of our manager been abused at Tynecastle . How stupid can a person be relying on the police investigating anything .

 

Who formed the club then? And for what reason?

Because Celtic to me is much bigger than Peter Lawwell, Neil Lennon or Leigh Griffiths. It's about the supporters, who historically have been refugees, immigrants and their descendants.

The fact he has got previous for racist behaviour and yet has been caught again spouting similar nonsense shows that he is too evil or too stupid to be offered any kind of sympathy.

 

He's stupid for specific reasons though. He's not doomed to be stupid forever. I find it interesting that so many people want to wash their hands of him like this. It's a reaction he seems to provoke a lot and my hunch is it's also his biggest fear (look at him somewhat desperately ingratiating himself with his fellow Hibs fans). He's obviously acting some issues out. He's deeply troubled, mate. You don't have to be a psychologist to see that.

 

What do you mean . The SFA and their reputation is not noted for impartiality and fairness haven't even met yet to decide if Leigh is guilty or innocent , yet you are hoping for a statement from Celtic for Leigh to do repentance .
Why bother with this charade of having a trial in court or a SFA hearing 5 years in jail and a fifteen year ban from Professional Football would probably satisfy some of the posters on here.
Repentance before hearing ?? ?

 

I swear it's only been since Griffiths' little sing song we've started to say we were formed by refugees. When has anyone referred to those that formed our club as refugees? :smiley-laughing002:

 

Look at his avatar and it'll be clear what he means by that, mate.
