Father of 5 kids

is that all with the same wummin?

 

3 different woman I believe, two of them go along to the games together to watch him.

 

Met him before through friends of friends and he is a decent bloke, brain of a peanut but nice enough guy, sure I heard before he didn’t have the easiest of upbringings. Never nice to hear of mental health issues, wish him all the best.

My money would be some kind of depression or mental illness. 

 

Hopefully it’s not life threatening. 

 

Very much this, particularly the second sentence.

These Comments are Out Of Order. I wish the man well and these derogatory personal remarks are totally unneccessary.

His “indefinite break” from the game is more of a “fixed term” break from the game that is not voluntary. All the journos know exactly what is going on but the fear of upsetting Celtic prevents them from telling the truth.

Defo mental health issues but this has been brought about by some kind of 'incident. 

 

Trying to find out what it was but no success so far.

I remember reading on here years ago that his personal life was shambolic.  This came from people with first hand knowledge.

 

Looks like they were right.

I Thank him for his goals against England almost made for a very memorable day in Barcelona for I. 

I also noted that after the 4-0 we inflicted on Celtic he was one of the Last tic players off the field and was applauding the Hearts fans as he left, in my interpretation it was acknowledgement of the support and performance on that day. Changed my mind about him that day and wish him well......except against us of course.......

I have to say I find this pretty distasteful to say the least.

 

You know the guy has mental health issues and you’re going round asking folk to spill the details. Why do you need to or even want to know ?

Taking an indefinite break from football, due to ongoing personal issues. 

 

According to his manager. 

 

I've not read through the thread, but was speaking to someone recently, and what came across was that Leigfh Griffiths has a serious gambling problem, although may not have seen it as a problem at the time.

Waster. As someone said, file him alongside Riordan and O’Connor. Hibs class.

 

No sympathy for the racist thief from me. Don’t forget he has fathered 5 kids to 3 different women, whilst also being accused of domestic violence from one them when they found out about his cheating ways. 

 

Horrible guy, end of story.

Saw him in a bookies in Portobello High Street a while back. He fed the fruit machine relentlessly and said feck a lot.

Shame our section N'rs don't get the same leighway!

 

Seems it’s ok to be a (proven) racist and all round unsavoury character as long as you’ve scored a couple of goals for Scotland.

Have no sympathy with people who earn a fortune then blow it all on drink, coke . gambling, " burds" or " lads" !! Pick whichever ones are pertinent to him.

Probably the best natural striker we've had since the Mo Johnston and Ally McCoist days. He should have got way more coverage for those two free-kicks he scored against England (as good and hard to execute as Messi's two free-kicks in one game recently, and in a much higher pressure match). That should have launched him as a bonafide International footballer. You have to wonder how good he could be without all the off-field stuff. Shame how it's working out.

What's that reek ? 

Oooof an awfy bad smell of hypocrisy on here.

 

"Rudi Skacel is a ****ing Refugee" but thats okay because he scored 2 goals in a meaningless draw against England and has an alleged gambling addiction. 

 

No wonder Kickback gets slated.

As the great Livia Soprano used to say to Tony when he said he had a damaged " upbringing"    " Boo hoo"...

It's not a 'love in. It's just being supportive to a guy suffering.

Forgive me if I couldn't give 2 flying ****s about the suffering of someone who has been filmed singing a song calling the biggest Hearts legend of recent times a '****ing refugee',  who told someone of Asian decent to '**** off back to their own country' on twitter and who was loving it when Naismith went off injured against Celtic recently. Among other things.

 

I don't remember Riordan or O'Connor getting the same sympathy when dealing with their addiction problems. Griffiths is cut from the same cloth, all absolute wasters.

I really don’t want to say mate. I’d heard he’d been at a casino though. He sat in a bookies round from my place a lot too. He had gambling problems I think. 

Can you just clarify if you want to say or not?

Is it depression or are people just jumping to that conclusion? 

 

He’s a gambler that’s for sure but doesn’t mean he has a problem

 

he can’t use a rubber Jonny either and feck knows who’d want to pump him but there seems to be willing volunteers!

 

could be a whole host of things wrong with him!

Firstly, hope he gets all the help he needs and gets his life back together.

 

Secondly, (and not a dig a Leigh or Celtic specifically) but does anyone else notice the irony with a professional footballer with a gambling addiction and his club being sponsored by a gambling company.


It is definitely an uncomfortable alliance, imo. Not sure what the answer is as the clubs will take in a lot of cash from these sponsors.

I assume the SFA and SPFL knew all about his gambling and chose to do nothing. 

 

Wonder if he was betting on football?

 

As I said, purely an assumption and I know zero but lesser footballers who don’t play for Celtic have been hung out to dry - again it’s purely an assumption and I know zero.

 

Hope he gets help, everyone deserves a second chance and I thought Rodgers handled it very well (the prick).

I'd expect nothing less from him.

 

I hate hibs .

Big time 

He feked up with the Skacel song but his reaction on the pitch to abuse from us has made me not hate him as much.

His racist actions weren’t banter.

 

And for that, he can go and **** himself.

 

Hope this helps.

Yes so true , and whats with people jumping on the " depression" bandwagon ?   Im all for raising awareness about this issue, in particular amongst young men but we dont know what the " issues" are. Like i said it'll be a unholy combo of anything and everything but please dont do those who do suffer from depression a disservice.

To be honest I've often found that these addictions are an outlet for the mental health issues that someone carries with them. It's tough for those of us who work damn hard to make a living, when we read stories about how folks have 'blown' a fortune on things like this. These addictions help fill a gap that exists in someones life, no matter how difficult it is for some of us to get hour head around.,

There’s more to this than just a gambling habit....!!!

 

And can we now stop feeling sorry for him....I have lots of sympathy for those close to him but not Griffith’s he’s another waster!

Whilst I’ll not be wishing the guy any harm nor celebrating his demise - you’ll absolutely not find me signing up to the kickback griffiths fan club either. 

 

Absolute cringe at some of the stuff on here at times.

I just don’t think some Hearts can comprehend how much griffiths hates us and the club!
