Whoever threw the smoke bomb onto the pitch in the first place could have injured one of his own. Throwing a very hot item over peoples heads is crazy. I'm going to suggest the guy who threw it was in the front row and that all necessary health and safety precautions were followed. Let's just concentrate on the Thumb.

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.

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.

It would be hypocritical if the fan who threw it was then criticising Griffiths. Nothing hypocritical about other fans in that stand criticising him. Fair to say other fans in the stand have more reason than anyone else to criticise.
King prawn Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 Idiotic to throw a flare onto the pitch, even more so to kick it back. He just never thinks before acting... it's been the story of his life so far.

Mikey1874 Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 Unless Griffiths is going to be dropped from squad, Dundee need to ban Rangers fans from Saturday's game.
Saint Jambo Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 5 minutes ago, Mikey1874 said: Going with the Stevie Kirk defense. 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.

Berra than you Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 Journalists in this country man. Saying "it's regrettable" is by no means an apology. He's just saying he didn't mean to kick it in to the crowd, albeit you'd have to have been born yesterday to buy that.
Hungry hippo Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 The statement is almost as bad as the incident. Long ban incoming. Very much doubt he'll be available against us in October.

They wasted no time whatsoever in telling him where he could ram the tickets.
CJGJ Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 The children behind the goal think it's fun to throw the flare but how dare anyone try to return it......bleating like sheep in a field. The village idiots from Perth were out in force and some got the response they wanted

Nobody has condoned either act, well until you did anyway.

mscjambo Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 Stupid thing to do. You don't excuse the throwing of the flare but you can't boot it back into the crowd. Griffiths doesn't help himself in any way. That hits someone in then he's looking at serious issues.
kingantti1874 Posted September 23, 2021 Author 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.

Hømme Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 Could have flicked it with his boot over the byline like any normal person would have done. Not booted it full pelt about 10 rows high into the stand.

The village idiots from Perth were out in force and some got the response they wanted One person throws it onto the grass. Not allowed and likely will be banned if caught. Griffiths kicks it into a crowded area with a very high chance of hitting someone. Far more serious and he rightly faces a lengthy ban.
Hearts1975 Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 Leigh said of the incident “it was regrettable that the pyrotechnic ended up back in the stand as the intention was to remove it from the pitch” Aye, right then 😎

So Make Some Noise.. Posted September 23, 2021 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.
