I don't have a major amount of sympathy for him but some of it yesterday was a bit Maybe I'm getting softer but there's a difference between giving a player stick and some of the stuff getting said. Doesn't feel right saying the worst thing you can to a guy we know is mentally unstable.

What was being said like? I think he's fair game for the chanting I could hear on PPV.
10-24-2021, 10:23 AM
What was said? I was out with the kids all day yesterday so missed everything
10-24-2021, 10:25 AM
Even the sex offender chant doesn't really reflect well on the fans, I can't be arsed with it tbh.
10-24-2021, 10:28 AM
Too much shite about him being a peado etc.
Give him it tight for the clubs he's associated with etc but there's just no need for that pish. It was constant as well.

You get caught asking underage girls for nudes, you've got to expect to be called a nonce.
10-24-2021, 10:43 AM
Don't really think that's ever going to stop tbf, for as long as I've watched football if a player is involved in something like that they're going to get abuse for it.
I suppose it's not nice but then maybe something to think about when you're trying to get pictures off wee lassies as well. Bit ironic Cummings coming out against this as well, did he not have his own controversy when his pals were videoing a lassie at a house party he was at?

Devlin seemed to be consoling him at times.

Think McPake and Cummings are at it, expecting to get us a telling off from Budge.
Amazing how thousands (tens of?) can go through their whole careers and not get into nonsense like sending messages to 15 year olds on Instagram asking for nudes or any of the other stuff he has got up to I don't really know what Griffiths expected TBH. I actually like(d) Griffiths much more than Riordan/O'Connor/Murray/McManus/insert wee ned here. As he could take the patter much better than most - maybe a bit much yesterday but I wasn't there. FWIW, I can't imagine McPake and Cummings have the same thoughts towards Thomson and Rix. ^That post is a bit all over the place (as per amirite) but I am conflicted about it. Asking football fans to not use that sort of stuff against a player.

Tbf i used to sing all that stuff at Celtic but as you get a bit older you realise it's very crass. Not because it's shan on Celtic or griffiths in this scenario but it's a kick in the teeth to the victims it's happened to.
For Cummings to come out and paint griffiths as this lovely guy and the victim of it all is pretty telling but you wouldn't expect anything else from a guy like that imo. Really what he should be saying is to think of the people involved when you're shouting this stuff, not the “poor, good family man†who was just trying to get a picture from a 15 year old fan.
10-24-2021, 11:36 AM
I sang it as well previously and it was daft.
There's this big push in Scottish football about mental health at the moment with this FC United campaign so we really need to have a think about whether it's right to say the worst things you can think of to a guy who has well documented problems. What's the end goal with that shit? Push him to do something stupid? We can get in his head without going to those lengths. Bit too much yesterday I think.
10-24-2021, 11:40 AM
You've gone soft AP. Fuck Griffiths
Nah but srsly, there is a line, like the Tony Mowbray wife shit, Scott Browns sister, wee Jay, there is a line. Wasnt there and didnt hear it so really cany comment
It was pretty relentless, pretty much what I expected. Pedo chants, the sex offender song, another where 'rockin all over the world' was replaced by 'Griffiths likes 15 year olds' which I thought was actually quite creative.
Let's face it these things are and always have been just point scoring exercises when it comes to football. Fans don't treat footballers like actual humans, I honestly can't imagine what it's like having a crowd of folk abuse you like that. I'd probably just run away. Not that I'm trying to excuse Griffiths or his behaviour or that, just feels hard to comprehend stuff like that.

Always the victim and never his fault.
He's a great family man when he's trying to get nude pictures from 15 year olds behind his girlfriends back. He can't play the Neil Lennon mental health card to absolve him of blame for all his actions, he sailed to close to a line and got caught out, so zero sympathy from me. I'm not going to sit and feel sorry for him when the likes of David Goodwillie got it just as tight. Fuck sake, the abuse he got caused him to scuff a penalty against us.
10-24-2021, 12:19 PM
The sex offender song was slightly amusing the first time I heard it. Got boring very quickly yesterday after the 10th time it was sung.
10-24-2021, 12:37 PM
Aye I don't really buy the whole griffiths victim thing but it's probably no something to be singing about at the football regardless.
10-24-2021, 12:40 PM
I don't mind the guy, he's got his faults like all of us but I'm not obliged to jump on the bandwagon of slaughtering him.

Considering he was close to taking his own life and took a break from football to recover from being mentally ill. |
