I know lots of Hibs fans, none of them were flexing their “hertz” and “rainjurs” hating muscles. Get better friends?

Hekens  correct.

As already stated, to be abundantly clear, regardless of his intentions it's just weird behaviour. Couldn't just enjoy the moment but instead had to pander to the Celtic fans on twitter. It's all just very bizarre stuff.

So we’ve gone from “he publicly wanted to get it up Lafferty’s dead sister” to “we’ll pretend he was getting it up Lafferty’s dead sister because he deserves it for pandering to celtic fans”


Cool.

Weird/bizarre/oddball. We already knew Griffiths was that, is the issue that he is celebrating the death of Lafferty’s sister or not? And if it’s not, what exactly is he to apologise for?

For being bizarre and odd?

“Im sorry people of the internet, my picture of lafferty that I retweeted was me being weird - you all deserve an apology”

Fuck off.

“Probably”

(From griffiths) It was 100% a GIRUY as Rangers man Lafferty was greeting. Hee haw to do with Scotland/norn iron.

From Celtic fan OP, probably with added layer regarding his sister.

Definitely then, I don’t care if it’s probably or definitely, but as a lawyer you should appreciate that I’m not going to presume intention so I caveated it with probably.

The original tweet may have had malice in it. You’re just highlighting that it wasn’t even Griffiths tweet it was a something that came up on his feed that he retweeted while in the changing room.

Celtic player retweets a staunch rangers fan greeting does not equal “I’m celebrating his dead sister”. How hard is that to understand? Surprised that you can’t actually cast a very simple, objective eye over this tbh.

Griffiths constantly shows himself up with stuff like this it’s pretty sad.

Ryan Christie gives a big passionate speech on how they’re glad they could do it for everyone in the country after a tough year,   in tears infront of everyone as you can see how much it means to him.  

Griffiths is straight to slagging off old rangers players Laugh   There’s one thing for certain if any player was going to be involved in some sort of Twitter controversy this morning it would be him.

He’s literally went into the changing room, flicked through his twitter feed, saw the scores and a photo of lafferty greeting and thought “lol I will retweet this as my followers will like it”. Literally 5 seconds max of his time was spent on this.


“APOLOGISE FOR CELEBRATING THE DEATH OF SOMEONES SISTER!”

If it was Ryan McGowan or Stephen Elliot doing this about a Hibs player (and they most certainly would) you’d be all over it.

The Celtic fans have stood by Griffiths so like it or not he has a good relationship with his fanbase.

Sympathise with Griffiths a wee bit he's just a guy that shoots himself in the foot all the time, can relate to that to an extent Laugh don't think he's that bad a guy really and definitely was nothing to do with Laffertys sister.

All he had to do was come out and say he hadn’t realised what had happened last week instead of doubling down on it. Pretty classless tbh.

Read the explanation again. He has done exactly what you said and has in no way doubled down on anything.

You’ve literally made that up.

He’s made it crystal clear that in no way on earth would he ever post a photo of someone celebrating their dead sister.

People who want apologies from folk even when they know the person isn’t sorry. What is that all about?

You can guarantee they've had a rivalry in the past. As much as we like Lafferty for being ex-Hearts and staunch, let's not forget he's an arsehole Warnock

Regardless of his intent and giving him the benefit of the doubt he would realise that posting that picture of Lafferty given what has happened to him this week was in incredibly poor taste.

Given he's a fellow professional, regardless of rivalry, he should have enough about him to apologise for any upset he may have caused Lafferty and then given his explanation of why he did it (a GIRFUY to NI for their twitter output).

Monty Umm Where did I say that griffiths was celebrating his dead sister? I was saying it was 100% a dig at lafferty (as he is a well known staunch rangers man who hates celtic) for greeting, but nothing to do with the sister (IMO).

As an aside, I can cast a simple, objective eye over your posts and say they are dreadful.

He’s hardly going to say he was is he. The fact of the matter is he’s posted a picture of him greeting on the pitch a week after his sisters died. Totally classless. Did he know Lafferty's circumstances? If he didn’t all he had to say was he didn’t and apologise for the timing.

It is a shite thing to do even without the dead sister thing that has been thrown in just to make it look worse. I don't know why you'd look to get it up someone at that point when you should be buzzing and celebrating.

I wanted NI to qualify Jezza
