The Treasurer Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Smoke bombs are illegal at football grounds, anyone in possession, setting them off or launching them either onto the pitch or at the crowd should be charged by the police and banned from attending games. This should apply whether they are a supporter or a player Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ron Burgundy Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 23 minutes ago, SectionDJambo said: Griffiths just never thinks long enough to help himself. From the Rudi Skacel song to this incident, a wee bit of brain power would tell him not to get involved. It seems he'll never learn. Having said that, it would be a bit hypocritical of St Johnstone fans saying someone could have been injured. 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fair to say other fans in the stand have more reason than anyone else to criticise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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.

The village idiots from Perth were out in force and some got the response they wanted Still not correct on both parties' accounts. If the Fermer gets identified lobbing it, then they should get felt. Rightly. Griffiths' reaction was unprofessional & potentially even more dangerous to someone in the crowd. Whether or not the (and I can't believe I'm typing this about St. Johnstone) "Ultra" crew ( ) were responsible. Dundee's "statement" is just laughable in the extreme. I'd be embarrassed if Hearts tried to defend that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mscjambo Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Stupid thing to do. You don't excuse the throwing of the flare but you can't boot it back into the crowd.

kingantti1874 Posted September 23 Author Share Posted September 23 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.
