    That was 5 seasons ago. Hasn’t been first choice since.

    What, 6 years ago?

    He’s not a patch on Edouard or Morelos.

    His goals/assists per minutes played are still above those mentioned.

    Aye, but how does his minutes played match up against Edouard’s and Morelos’ ffs :56::56::56::56::56:

    Trying to argue Griff’s stats against those two is like trying to say a microwave carbonara from LIDL is as good/better than a homemade one from an Italian nonna in Rome :76:

    David Nugent is England’s best ever striker. Scored every time he played for them.

    That doesn’t tell you the whole story though does it? How many of his goals/assists were against top 4 in comparison to the likes of Eddy and Morelos?

    Can’t believe there is still people making a case for Griffiths. A 30 year old professional footballer, who’s in a relationship and has 5 kids, skulking about on social media messaging young girls for pictures. Clearly he didn’t know her age but regardless it’s morally wrong and completely unacceptable.

    Thats all you can argue with because he's not had the game time. Thats his fault because he was an unprofessional *. To discount he doesn't have qaulity though is wrong. Not that it matters, he's gone and done it to himself.

    Again youve joined the "hes 100% guilty of messaging young girls"

    He probably is, he's most likely a dirty we *. He probably never knew her age, doesn't make it better. Again though, all we can go on is one screenshot that could still be proven yet to be false. Both sides should have equally be believed. I'm guilty of not believing the girl straight away, maybe through disbelief, and prejudices with from accusers being proven as made up lies. Other belive her straight away. In reality both sides should be believed until the investigation is over. Thats not how it is though, straight away hes guilty, and I couldn't believe it so get called out and "should be watched" get to *. The only evidence is 1 screen shot posted online so quite rightly people can believe or not believe. Obviously easily verifiable by the police as they can get her to log in and show them it, case closed, charged or not. Time will tell.

    I’m going against the grain here, the more I read the more I think he is being stitched up.

    We are in a society now where guys need to literally ask girls their ages. No longer do 15 year girls look like 15 year old girls.
    On Instagram you do not see people’s ages and I myself have seen profiles of young girls who look older than their years. I have a friend who’s sister is 14 and has been posting pictures on her Instagram that would make her pass for being in her 20s.

    Do I think he is a guilty of being a wee dirty - yes. Do I think he has deliberately sent messages to underage girls - no. And I’m speaking as a mum to an 11 week old daughter.

    I don’t need anything else to argue with, he’s not getting played because he’s not as good as the one’s getting played before him.

    It’s really quite * simple…

    that * always gets at me whether it’s some media type , us movie producer, president or a footballer as in this case …. The prior ‘victims’ always wait and make themselves known once others make allegations.. not be the ones to take the initiative…

    If you believe an offence against you merits police investigation then get it out there ASAP … not only once someone else does it first. Sadly the media and rags are only too happy to eek out and embellish (even invent) these stories to keep a story live.

    …. As for LG himself…

    The player should be gone well before now and therefore not a Celtic problem.

    Another great move by Celtic plc

    Big Ange must be wondering * he’s signed up for ?!?

    To be fair, Mr. Griffiths is still innocent until proven guilty, is he not?

    Griffiths has a grand total of 4 goals against Rangers, the rest are mostly against dross like Ross county and Hamilton.

    Thats why I wanted him to stay before this. How valuable is a striker to rest the main man after Europe when you play the dross and he actually will score against the dross? Priceless.

    BTW rangers where dross when he scored against them :fear:
