Throwing something at someone is an assault but, it being Griffiths, nothing will be done. On the other hand, a Rangers player shaking his fist in celebration will get booked. What a sick wee country we have become.
If his behaviour was due to known mental health issues, surely he should not have been selected for the playing squad? And surely he should not be selected again until certified by a (qualified) psychiatrist that he can be responsible for his actions.poets on Twitter raging... because Leigh has mental health issues and that was the reason for throwing tape. Oh, and why did Sky not have an ex Celt doing punditry? Chris [sic] Boyd is a dsgrace
That's absolutely incredible.Lennon has hit out at the abuse aimed at Celtic forward Leigh Griffiths
But Griff appeared to throw sock tape towards a home punter after being subbed - with cops moving in to calm things.
The SFA could look at the incident but Lenny insists he is INNOCENT and vowed to back him.
He said: "Leigh's behaviour tonight was top class - as was his performance.
"He threw a bit of tape on the ground. I don't know how you can say he threw it at somebody or towards somebody.
"People take off tape and throw it away so to me there is nothing in it.
"Was he spoken to after the game? No.
"I asked him if anything went on and he said 'No' and he was backed up by his team-mates.
"If there is going to be something made of this then I will be at the front of the queue backing him up
""Leigh was taking some unsavoury abuse and he didn't react in a malicious way at all.
"He's not the perpetrator - the abuse was totally uncalled for.
“He was backed up by myself and his team-mates on the bench.
“I thought his behaviour tonight was exemplary. He didn’t do anything wrong.
"People can blow it up but it was NOTHING.
“He always seems to get controversy surrounding him but I’ll back him to the hilt on this one.
"The kid had played well, he hadn’t got himself into any bother on the pitch.
“He goes and sits down and gets abuse from supporters.
"In this day and age, we have to accept that and behave in a sanitised way. He did.
“You’re looking for a story that’s just not there. If there is a story, I’ll back him and defend him to the hilt."
The only think they’ll complain about is there wasn’t enough pies.Hopefully the Killie fans complain.
Probably because he’s no longer playing for a team in the league he can say whatever the %^*& he likesWhere has this Boys come from. Hopefully this one sticks around and keeps telling it like it is.
Kris is off the leash!Probably because he’s no longer playing for a team in the league he can say whatever the %^*& he likes
He has got the online Celtic fans in quite a tizz over his comments, which is nice!

Are the mutants defending it or making excuses for ittimmy on nuclear meltdown on twitter over this lol f*cking tremendous
Aye cause Alfie’s GIRUY gesture was lethal, as was his game over oneHear Crocker saying "not exactly lethal, is it?" Scum.
Yeah Rangers are a 100% correct other clubs are looked at differentlyThe thumb just gave our board the extra bullets to fire into the shambles that is the SFA.
Not that we needed them.
If a gesture is worse than that then there can't be a single person who does not see what is going on here.
"Not exactly lethal,is it"
Says Ian Crocker. Not the point though.
Ah well, we should find out mid February that he has in fact received a yellow card for this.
Some are complaining about Boyd !Hopefully the Killie fans complain.
He is an excuse wasted sperm to make that ugly fuuckProbably the most unprofessional player in Scotland. Cynically playing the mental health card as an excuse for his behaviour.
We all know Lennon lies, he has been caught out before. If his lips move, he’s lying.Can't believe the things he gets away with. And for Lennon to blatantly defend him and come out with the excuse he was throwing it on the ground!!
and then complain that the squirrels shot first.You just know if Griffiths was American he’d live in a trailer park and shoot squirrels and beer cans to pass the time.
Agree. I was just saying that last month. He seems to have grown a pairCertainly a change in attitude from Boyd in the last couple of months. Seems to be giving us his backing more and more which is refreshing.
Did that Crocker wanker really just say " not exactly lethal was it"? what did he have to say when Alfie made his gesture? I'll bet he didn't play it down like that anyway.Threw tape at Killie fans
Who?Great how he says it’s not really lethal. The time up gesture by Morales has been spoke about for three weeks solid.
Said love to see the same people that gave Alfredo stick for last 3 weeks see what the say about thumb head becouse that’s wrong doing what he did just as bad Alfredo
