The village idiots from Perth were out in force and some got the response they wanted ****ing Jesus 👀 Worst attempt by you in a long time. Assume you do the statements for Dundee FC 😒 2 hours ago, Barack said: 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. This… 2 hours ago, Awbdy Oot said: An awful lot of plurals there when it was one person who threw it onto the pitch, what Griffith's did was way more likely to cause injury. Nobody has condoned either act, well until you did anyway. This…. How many of you have kicked something in your life? Ill say all , you don’t have to be a professional kicker of things to know that “trying to remove it from the pitch” doesnt require a fair blooter. If that was his intention hes more than capable of chipping it behind the goals. He knew exactly what he was doing and he along with whomwever threw it in the first place should be prosecuted. Griffiths is new levels of dumb as **** and Dundees statement is a disgrace.

Benzinho Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 That Griffiths statement is like Eric Cantona trying to say he just wanted to show the guy in the front row at Selhurst Park his nice new boots! He knew fine well what he was doing. The SFA should be coming down hard on him, but this is Scottish football so they won't.

Beni Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 He should be looking at a reasonable length of ban for that, and he's not renowned for staying in top shape when he's not playing so this could have a serious knock on for the rest of the season. It would be a shame if Celtic's "We'll see you alright" loan for the spam folder vote turns out to be an...erm...damp squib.

jambo-in-furness Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 I thought the polis had investigated the thumbs alleged transgressions re the schoolgirl and arrived at “ insufficient evidence”. a well! no smoke I suspect.
Japan Jambo Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 I wonder what action the ref would have been expected to take had he 'seen' it? Looking at the match report on the BBC there isn't even a mention of the incident...
leginten Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 Reporting Scotland just said Griffiths “appeared” to kick the flare into the crowd. Curious use of language. Maybe St Johnstone only “appeared” to score two goals. Good old BBC. No doubt ra Sellick’s PR machine has got to them already.

22games nro Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 PYRO PROBE - POLICE have launched an investigation after Dundee star Leigh Griffiths kicked a smoke bomb which had been thrown onto the playing surface back into the crowd. Griffiths, who was abused constantly by the visiting fans during the 2-0 defeat, is almost certainly going to be hauled before the Hampden beaks. surely griffiths must have a police loyalty card with the amount of times he’s been speaking to them 😎😎 Leigh Griffiths smoke bomb latest as police investigate after Dundee’s on-loan Celtic star kicked firework into fans

There are examples of players being sent off for similar. Keeper sent off for throwing a bottle into the crowd.
Busby8 Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 The litmus test for intent................ would he have kicked a flare with such gusto into a travelling cellic support ?

It is a weird way of wording it. I remember they did the same when reporting that footage 'appeared' to show Zlamal being hit by a fan during a derby, while reporting from the same game that Lennon was hit by a coin. I had a look at that time and it isn't something they consistently do either for incidents at football matches or whenever a crime occurs. They don't say a bank 'appears' to have been robbed or a gunshot victim was 'allegedly' killed. In this case not only is there video evidence showing him kick it, Dundee have also released a statement confirming it. Edited September 23, 2021 by Saint Jambo
Savage Vince Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 I think that's their only chant. They once spent most of the game chanting it at Tynecastle and then chanted it for most of the following match in Perth. Personally I hope it scudded one of the ***** in the face.

ericthepen Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 So what'll happen, the erseholes in our support, and there are a few of them, will throw on on these things, hoping hoping for the same reaction. Folks that see these these things should be grabbing the f u c k e r s by the collar and handing them over. The original ersehole seems lost in this thread.

Chong Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 Not to dissimilar to this ancient incident although Carragher was sent off for "removing an object from the field" and a subsequent three match ban, he did not face misconduct charges from the FA. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/1785757.stm Worth a rewatch of the Carragher stuff btw clearly lost control of himself but dealt with by the referee at the time. I'd think the SFA surely have a similar rule regarding throwing things at supporters and would expect a ban, which could help things die down for the cretin. Embarrassing behaviour unsurprisingly by an embarrassment.
Auldbenches Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 Bored is the usual excuse for these... Young girl get out of the way. Here he comes and his first name is leigh. Pretty young girl you better run girl. Apologise offerd straight away.

Off course he knew what pyrotechnics meant. Couldn't spell it never mind pronounce it. Says in the paper he is looking at a 5 game ban. That should also include a ban on social media while serving it. Look what happens when he has 'time' on his hands.
Mikey1874 Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) The SFA shouldn't need to wait for the Police action to issue a ban. The Sun are saying 5 match ban. Though a delay so he can play at Tynecastle would be good. Edited September 24, 2021 by Mikey1874

Japan Jambo Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 Pleasantly surprised that police Scotland have chosen to act, though given the footage how could they not? He might end up as the poster boy for a firework safety campaign yet... Perhaps they can also deal with the toe rag that chucked it too?
