Let's just concentrate on the Thumb. I'm sure the fan thought he was picking his phone out of his pocket and got a shock when he discovered it was indeed a live smoke bomb. He's clearly dropped it on the pitch by accident, or perhaps to save his fellow fans? No excuse for thumb's behaviour though. Despicable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember immediately thinking that it was clearly deliberate to kick into the crowd as hard as possible in a fit of temper. Deserved to get punished for it.

Fair to say other fans in the stand have more reason than anyone else to criticise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a little more convincing if the smoke bomb had been more than 6inches onto the pitch. Good of Dundee to include a photo of the stadium to show quite how far he has had to kick it to get it back into the stand. You'd think this was an obvious and serious case that would result in a lengthy ban, but being Scottish football and who is involved, it is a lottery whether he'll even be charged.

kingantti1874 Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share Posted September 23, 2021 Statement from club and Leigh Griffiths September 23, 2021 / Club Dundee Football Club and Leigh Griffiths would like to address a regrettable incident which occurred during last night’s Premier Sports Cup tie with St. Johnstone at the Kilmac Stadium. Following the opening goal a smoke generator, amongst other items, was thrown onto the park by the visiting supporters. This pyrotechnic ended up back in the stand as Leigh kicked it to remove it from the field of play. Leigh said of the incident, “It was regrettable that the pyrotechnic ended up back in the stand as my intention was just to remove it from the pitch.” “Having just lost a goal I was eager to get the match restarted as quickly as possible and I would like to apologise for any distress caused by this action.” The club will be making no further comment on this situation.

So Make Some Noise.. Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Wrong un, hibs class, tube, thumb behaviour aside I never fail to facepalm when I see how fickle football fans are. Tribal, aggressive slurs being hurled out and pure uproar if and when a player responds. Absolutely wrong to kick something back into the crowd but you can guarantee the same people spouting their shock horror at it were giving it big licks when it was thrown on to the pitch.
