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

I agree with that but they still must be held accountable for their actions. I don't believe Griffiths is racist. I think he is a wee dafty but he still has to take responsibility for his actions.

 

I have full agreement with you Spellcheck92 , I think Griffiths is a wee dafty, but he is our wee dafty and we should bear that in mind when deciding if or what punishment we think he should get . It may or may not be a good idea to shoot ourselves in the foot . High moral ground like sacking him is fine , but if that damaged team morale and we failed to qualify for Champions League , not only would the club not get any praise for their actions with Leigh , but the club would be approximately £10m worse off.

 

We started Forrest in the CL the day he got charged with sexual assault. We were hardly going to suspend Griffiths while this was going on.

 

What if having him around damages team morale and caused us to fail to qualify for the Champions League.

The argument we have to defend him whatever because he plays for Celtic is just stupid.

 

Just curious wasn't Forrest case more him just getting his wee tallywacker out in public?

 

Public indecency and sexual assault

 

Forrest was not charged with sexual assault . I think you need to be careful about taking away players reputations .

 

Has Forrest actually been charged?

 

So the SFA and the legal system are wasting time and money bothering about going through the normal course of charging and trying when Celtic supporters like yourself have Griffiths already guilty . Strange certainly the video isn't clear .

 

How is it stupid , the police have spent about five weeks considering what happened and haven't charged him , cannot be too clear cut . The only people who seem to be constantly calling for his head are a few contrary Celtic fans who are more interested in creating trouble for Celtic than they are encouraging or supporting their team .
Strange supporters , I always thought it was my role as a Celtic supporter , was to encourage and support our players and management and leave the ridiculing to our enemies and fans of other clubs .
For some reason , you want ridicule a Celtic player .

 

Should supporting our players come at any cost though,he has been involved in singing a highly controversial song only lately may I add not when Riordan sang it,I get what you are saying but singing about refugees and given our clubs creation and whole existence don't you find that a tad offensive,or is it ok aslong as he's singing about another club

 

Who is ridiculing Griffiths ? ( Do you know what ridiculing means ?)

Saying you will support a Celtic player no matter what is stupid as I can't see how any rational human being could actually believe that is a sensible course of action.

There are some on here who a couple of weeks ago were saying you always have to defend Celtic players no matter what yet some of these are now saying Stokes should be punished for singing Irish Rebel songs ( I know you are not one of these). I think their agenda is fairly clear.

The suggestion that people who have been disappointed by Griffiths antics only have a problem with what he has done because they want to " create trouble for Celtic" is obviously nonsense.

 

There is only one man ridiculing Griffiths and creating problems for Celtic.

That is Leigh Griffiths.

The faster this is sorted and Leigh apologises and grows the * up, the faster we can move on and support him.

 

Ridleybhoy you are missing the point , it is alleged that he sang a racist song .
What does involved in singing a highly controversial song . Under what law of the land or what law of the SFA ,is been involved in singing a highly controversial song an offence.
I see you move on in your post from been involved to that he was singing .Which is it that you are accusing Leigh Griffiths of doing?
I wasn't at the original meetings or work that our fathers were involved in whilst creating Celtic Park but on reading many books from that era, I can assure that the ordinary working man both Irish and those with Irish roots never hesitated from using what we would now regard racist terms . So don't use our founders as an example of us failing in our memory .

 

Racism and racist terms are not ingrained in Celtic like you're trying to imply here. For that reason, Leigh Griffiths, on more than one occasion, spouting racist slanders is not welcomed by a large amount of the Celtic support.

 

Ulsterspot you are still harping on that he is accused of singing it,if lets just say he hasn't he can easily come out and catergorically deny it knowing this as he was there,neither me or you where only Leigh Griffiths and his fellow Hibs fans that where present know and ofcourse the people that have seen the video,also you state you have read books about or our history that our fans used rascist terms all those years ago which would be frowned upon now days,if by chance they did does it make it ok,oh and could you please pm me the names of these books cause I feel they would make a interesting read

 

Was a bit disappointed with the little bits of booing today, but i would say, the views of this forum don't seem to represent the majority of the Celtic support, or at least the support at the ground. The minority that booed seemed to make the majority cheer him louder. I definitely think, going by the supporters at Celtic Park today, not that many are particularly offended by what he did.

 

I just think in the stadium we don't want to be booing our own players, but it doesn't mean we in any way agree with what he did, or even agree with keeping him at the club. I didn't want us to sign him and knew he would do something like this (the Refugee singing incident), but I wouldn't travel to Glasgow and boo the guy during a Celtic match. When he was getting booed the other week and had a little celebration AT the people jeering him in our support, I actually supported him in doing so.

Still want him gone but.

 

I think that is a bit of a leap tbh. We didn't have a bus running to todays game but had I gone I wouldn't have booed Griffiths but that doesn't mean I am happy with his behaviour.
