Boy is  putting a bulls eye on poor Leigh. 😂😂

 

Boyd isn't bitter at all, professional journalism at it's finest.....

 

To be fair, Boyd, in this case, hasn't really said anything controversial and I did have a wee chuckle at this line:-

 

"Griffiths is about to get bombarded with 90 minutes of relentless abuse and if he’s got a brain in that head of his he better be prepared to take it."

Booting a lit pyrotechnic into a full stand of supporters ffs. He's absolutely finished, will never play for Celtic or Scotland again. I doubt even Hibs would touch him now and he's revered a hero over there. He'll be playing for some second rate lower league mob next season if at all when he should be the main man up top at Celtic & Scotland banging them in for fun for a couple of years yet, what a waste of talent again from another Hibs golden boy.

Interesting that the SFA/SPFL seem to have said or done nothing yet.  

The bloke who reads for them is on holiday, there is a lot of catching up for him to do when he gets back.

Boyd’s article today, he’s certainly doesn’t hold back 😀
 

KARMA has a way of catching up with people.

Leigh Griffiths is about to find that out the hard way at Dens Park.

He was laughing when he tied that Celtic scarf to one of the goalposts at Ibrox a few seasons back.

Grinning from ear to ear during an Old Firm game the day he waved his Irish tricolour from the Broomloan Road Stand.

When he wiped his nose on a Rangers corner flag he thought he was being clever.

Well, let’s see how smart he is when Rangers supporters tell him what they think of him.

Griffiths is about to get bombarded with 90 minutes of relentless abuse and if he’s got a brain in that head of his he better be prepared to take it.

Listen, I’m not going to go into the reasons why supporters all over the country are going to give him a hard time this season. Frankly, I want nothing to do with it.

But what I will say is that Griffiths only has himself to blame — and the sooner he realises that the better.

Will he, though? Is he capable of accepting responsibility for anything in life? I’m not sure he is.

It seems to me that every time something happens to him he thinks it’s someone else’s fault.

He wasn’t to blame for how things worked out for him at Celtic, was he? No, that was all Neil Lennon’s fault apparently.

Honestly, I can’t remember reading anything as ridiculous as when Griffiths spoke about Lennon recently and claimed his ex-boss was just trying to stay relevant by talking about him. Really?

Are we talking about the same high-profile Neil Lennon who has been one of the most talked about personalities in Scottish football in the last 20 years?

Griffiths can’t surely be serious when he says Lennon needs him to stay relevant.

But that sums him up, doesn’t it? Rather than owning his mistakes and taking responsibility for them, his default position is to go on the attack.

If only he was as threatening on the park.

Because when you strip everything back with Griffiths, he’s not the player his fan club will have you believe.

Is he a good finisher? Sure, I’ll give him that. But in the last three seasons do you know how many league goals he’s scored? Let me tell you because I looked it up. It’s 17.

Two goals in season 2018/19, nine goals in season 19/20 and six goals in season 20/21.

I’m sorry, but that’s not the statistics of a top-level goalscorer.

This is someone with natural talent, sure.

But that’s not enough if you are to be considered a top player.

Yet his cheerleaders are forever making excuses for him, constantly telling anyone who’ll listen that Griffiths would prove everyone wrong.

That he just needed to get fit and he’d be back.

Griffiths ended up saying it himself but it was total and utter nonsense, every single word of it.

Griffiths is yet to score for Dundee

Griffiths has had more than enough time and opportunity to get himself in shape and he’s only thrown it back in people’s faces.

The scoring records in Scottish football should have been OBLITERATED by him in the last five years. Instead he put the tools away and it seems like he couldn’t care less.

Why Celtic gave him a new contract in the summer, I’ll never know. For the life of me, I’ll never be able to work that one out.

Even their supporters must have been scratching their heads.

Those fans slaughtered me for criticising Griffiths and more or less saying it takes more than just ability to play at a top club.

But while my wording could have been better I think I’ve been proved right. When he scored at Rugby Park one day he looked up at me and made a shooshing gesture, but I stand by every word. He’s not exactly silenced me since, has he?

Now he’s at Dundee I wonder if his manager James McPake is beginning to wonder if it was a good idea bringing him to the club.

They’re pals from their days together at Livingston so I can understand why McPake was prepared to give Griffiths the benefit of any doubt.


But since he signed, Dundee have yet to score a goal.

Listen, I’ve been there. I got abuse every single time I stepped on to a football park and had to take it. It’s part of the deal.

Okay, the shouts weren’t anything like the abuse Griffiths is getting but he’s 31 now and should be experienced enough to know how to switch off from it.

I just look at him and see someone who is more or less finished. Truth be told, he’s the way I was when I was at Kilmarnock and hung up my boots a couple of months before my 36th birthday.

I didn’t have the same drive to stay in shape so I realised it was time to hang up the boots.

As a striker you stand the best chance of playing every week, because it’s a specialist position. But you need to deliver.

Griffiths just hasn’t looked like delivering for a long time now. His decline is there for all to see with his scoring record miles off where it should be.

During the warm-up before the Dundee derby at Tannadice last weekend we were in the gantry preparing for kick-off when a ball flew past.

We were nowhere near the goals so it was obvious someone was deliberately trying to hit us.

I didn’t see who was responsible — but my money would be on Griffiths.

Why? Because he missed.

Written by Robert Grieve.

 

How can I tell?

 

Because he hasn't mastered the concept of paragraphs..

 

It's a dead give away.

Griffiths is a twat. I suspect he has mental health issues but then he’s not alone in that. I dislike him most of all because he’s a stereotypical Hibby Hearts-hater.

Boyd though, can hardly claim the moral high ground so his criticism is a bit rich.

Boyd’s (or his ghost-writer’s) article is simply rooted in the pain he evidently still feels following those drubbings his team suffered when Griffiths played in Rodgers’ high-flying Celtic sides.

Boyd’s piece is nothing more than a dog-whistle inviting the Ibrox underclass to exceed their normal standards of knuckle-dragging behaviours. Dundee FC can evidently see that.

Always wonder what takes the police so long to ‘investigate’ in these situations.  If this took place on a Saturday night in George street the person would be arrested, charged and have a court appearance scheduled for a future date.

 

It’s not as if they’ve a mountain of evidence to trawl through but the police and SFA insist on treating it like they’re having to unravel a Bernie Madov Ponzi scheme.

Pretty sure he was charged by the police the day after the incident?

Possibly mental capacity rather than health issue.

Leigh Griffiths, Derek Riordan, Garry O'Connor, Pat McGinlay, Ian Murray, Scott Brown, Ivan Sproule, Liam Craig and many many more. I'm sure that ex-Motherwell pwick Steve Kirk who booted that ball into a wee lassie's face years ago is one of them also. Even management, Pat Fenlon, Neil Lennon, Bobby Williamson. The attitude, the chip-on-the-shoulder.....it's the Hibernian way.

Oh, i don't know. Hibs' standards are usually lower than most so there's always a chance he'll end up back there. Easter Rd is a playground for the stupid, they even signed Anthony Stokes more than once.

The guy's a complete rocket.  I've heard a couple of Hibby's at work trying to justify his actions saying that if the St Johnstone fan hadn't thrown the flair on the pitch that this incident wouldn't have happened, and that they deserved it.  They're also raging that the St Johnstone fan hasn't been charged but thumb heid has.  The majority of them back their own, no matter what they do.  It's the Hibs way.

There it is again. “Apparently” kicking a flare. The BBC just can’t help itself. As @Saint Jambo has pointed out on this thread, there was no “apparently” used in the Neil Lennon coin incident at Tynecastle - only when it came to the assault on Zlamal.

Taking the police a long time to conclude their “investigation”. As others have said, if someone had done that on Lothian Road on a Saturday night, they’d have been up in court on Monday morning - regardless of any provocation or other mitigating circumstances.

Richard Winton clearly on the fast track to the heights of normal BBC sports reporters with this copy.

 

Griffiths was accused with excessive misconduct by the governing body, having already been charged by Police Scotland in relation to "culpable and reckless" conduct.

Probably trying to do Celtic/Dundee a favour and lining up the punishments to run concurrently on the off chance he's offered free bed and board by her Maj. Disgraceful lack of leadership again by footballs governing bodies in not setting a very clear marker down on what is and is not acceptable, they certainly are not helping create a safe family experience by putting their heads in the sands on this one.

Absolute nonsense. If you look back at the reporting of the time Lennon was attacked at Tynecastle, you will find that there is very little “allegedly” or “apparently” in the reporting of the incident post-arrest and pre-trial. If any.

Leigh Griffiths has admitted to kicking the flare (he'd be an idiot not to given the clear video evidence and thousands of witnesses). The outcome of the court case will not rest on determining whether he kicked the flare into the stand, it will rest on his intent and whether the act was reckless. There is no reason to add 'apparently' to the story.

 

It is the equivalent of describing a road traffic accident. The BBC will report that the person was driving the car at the time of the accident not that they were 'apparently driving the car' or that the victim was 'apparently killed' because those facts are beyond dispute. They will say they are 'accused' or 'alleged' to have caused the death by dangerous driving (or whatever the charge is). It took me all of 5seconds on google to find an example (this one from yesterday). https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-58829434

 

So go on, explain how it is 'Celtic View type nonsense'?

Apparently the media didn’t know either and must all have been in contempt of court. No sign of the “apparently” or “allegedly” you insist must be used.

 

Wondering who the idiot is.

 

Nice shifting of the goalposts, though.

Surely the SFA can still punish him retrospectively for breaking football “law” while the real law goes about its business. 

You get a yellow for “shushing” the fans after scoring and this is surely worthy of a red.

Do you want to give that legal advice to Sky Sports, the Daily Record and STV, none of which have felt the need to say that he apparently or allegedly kicked the flare into the stand. All happy to say he did it. Maybe better not to call people idiots when your claim can be disproven with another 10second in Google. It makes you look a bit of an idiot to be honest.
