Sutton (unsurprisingly) plays down Griffiths incident whilst having a pop at SFA and Rangers.

Sutton is just an attention seeking wind up merchant. Griffiths is a muppet thats playing the media imo
 
Ben Stokes has been all over the sports news this morning for name calling a fan in the crowd. Journalists saying that its not becoming of a professional sportsman. And the guy has made an apology. Griffiths has thrown an object at a fan & most up here in sports circles, are okay with it. A farce
 
I will take no moral judgment from a man who spits in another mans face at a kids game of football,fck you Sutton.
 
I look forward to Alfie rolling up his sock tape and throwing it into the mutants next visit to the piggery.

We can now count on the spunk bucket sutton defending him.

Has Griffiths apologised?

We certainly do Chris and it's not mental health issues or injury.

That they are exploiting the very serious issue of mental illness as a get out of jail free card and excuse for this ned's typical anti-social behaviour is just appalling.
 
Unfortunately its us who are keeping this sheep botherer relevant. Stop reacting to and sharing his opinions and it will do him as much harm as helicopter sunday(slight exaggeration but you get what i mean).

We are the ones keeping him in a job by commenting and giving hits to the websites that publish his garbage.
 
The man is an absolute banger. He was a banger when he played and he's a banger now.
 
This season we've had numerous instances of things getting flung from the stand at players, now here we have a player doing it in reverse. It's irrelevant that it was only a bit of paper. You saw the fans reaction to it so it's incitement leading to possible crowd trouble for starters.

A LOT of people are quick to criticise Leigh Griffiths and there are perhaps occasions when it’s completely justified.

Should he have lobbed the tape at a Kilmarnock fan the other night? Of course not. It was daft. But no one is going to end up in A&E after getting hit by a bit of paper.

Everyone does daft things sometimes – but if anything Griffiths also deserves to be commended. This is a player who could have been lost to the game completely. Instead he is back in the Celtic side and scoring goals again.

Griffiths still has a long way to go until he’s back to being the player he was a few seasons ago but it’s an impressive start.

Everyone knows why Griffiths has not been involved much over the last 12-18 months. It took a lot of bravery for him to come out last summer and lay it bare just what he’d been going through.

It takes a lot of courage for such a high-profile figure to go public and be open about his issues. It may give others in other walks of life the confidence to talk about issues.

It’s vital for sufferers of mental health problems to feel they can disuss it. We should be supporting Griffiths, not using an extremely difficult period for him and his family in his life as a tool to hit him with when it suits an argument.

Don’t forget, he’s also missed matches as he’s just not been picked. In the last three years Celtic have had a £20million striker in Moussa Dembele playing the lone striker role, and more recently he’s had £9m Odsonne Edouard, who could go on to be a £20m-plus player.

Celtic haven’t played with two up all that often so there were times when Griffiths was going to miss out.

In fairness to him he had a really good battle with Dembele for a while when the pair were both fit. There have been issues as well so it’s harsh in the extreme to use that against him. Mental health is a serious issue and isn’t something to be thrown around flippantly.

Don’t get me wrong, there are times when Griffiths has been spiky, angry and made mistakes. But there have also been occasions when he has been a bit of a lost boy with an air of vulnerability.

It can’t be ignored and should be taken in to account.

A lot of people had doubts we’d ever see Griffiths back on the pitch again, let alone back scoring goals.

But he has not returned to the Celtic team out of the goodness of Neil Lennon’s heart. Griffiths is there because his manager has seen something he’s liked in recent weeks and believes he can do a job for his team.

He’s proved Lennon right this week. There were promising signs in his partnership with Edouard and when you add Patryk Klimala in to the mix, Lennon now has options when it comes to selection and formation.

Despite all that, you can’t excuse Griffiths for his actions at Rugby Park. Let’s not go overboard, when it comes to offences, chucking a bit of tape at a fan is hardly Eric Cantona’s kung-fu kick.

But it was still wrong. How will the spineless SFA deal with it? That’s anyone’s guess.

They’ll probably wait three weeks and then tell us he was booked after the game.

It’s just another silly incident that seems to be par for the course in Scottish football this season. There’s no need for it and we can also do without clubs constantly making excuses for the actions of their players.

There’s nothing wrong with admitting it was out of line and promising not to do it again.

Perhaps we’ll get a statement saying in Leith throwing tape is just a signal the match is over. Nothing would surprise us any more.

It wasn’t just the tale of the tape though. Even the Griffiths goal celebration created headlines.

I’m fed up with players making daft signs or gestures to crowds, why can’t they just enjoy a goal, shake hands with their team-mates and get back on with the game? Every time the ball hits the net the celebration has to mean something nowadays. Just give it a rest.

That’s not letting the fans off the hook either. Griffiths shouldn’t have reacted but I know it’s difficult to ignore it when you’re getting bile from the stands. It’s not pleasant and it’s hard to be the bigger man. But that comes with the territory in football.

You have to soak it up and let it go, even when your instincts are screaming the complete opposite.

Griffiths has to try to ignore the noise from the stands and from the critics and just keep concentrating on himself. If he can keep building his fitness and scoring goals, while keeping himself away from controversy, then he’ll deserve all the praise in the world.har

What a mentally challenged prick
 
If Morelos or any of our players do it it a 6 match ban this throbber is wanting

THIS GUY SHOULD BE SACKED

As it is evident he is solely going after a Black player who plays for RANGERS FC (Alfredo Morelos)

this is RACIAL ABUSE

TNT said:
If Griffiths wasn't a footballer, he would be in prison! No doubts about it.

I think Rangers should be telling Sutton's employers they will not be given access to our players/management so long as he is involved.

OK, it was only a bit of tape - but who has ever been hurt by a gesture?

It was an object

this what theses prick try to do

it wasnt a bit of tape !!!

it was an object thrown into a crowd of fans from Celtic player Leigh Griffith’s
 
I see Sutton forgets to mention the fact the whole of the Scum bench, including their alky manager surrounding the old guy in the crowd, in fact one had to be held back by his jacket.
 
If Celtic choose to put him on the pitch he must be held to the same standard as others, simple. The fact Morelos gets held to a lower standard is the issue

Griffiths throwing objects into the crowd could have incited a serious incident if the Killie fans retaliated by heading for the Celtic bench. It is incredible how this is being deflected and played down by the media.

He does talk some amount of shite, but unfortunately he gets the platform to spout it AND their fans lap it up. Anything showing us in negative light or showing their players akin to Mother Theresa is permitted and encouraged by the SMSM.

Our ex players need to wise up to the propaganda war here. If they’ve nothing good to say about Rangers, then they should shut the fu(k up.

Correct, but there is not a chance in hell that Sutton wrote that article. I had the misfortune to meet him years ago and he is actually even thicker than he appears on tv.

That article, like everything else that has his name against it, has been ghost-written for him. Either by Holicom, or by someone working on their instruction.
 
flounder said:
Whoever wrote that for Sutton is full of it, the line that it's only a bit of tape needs challenged. When Morelos did a fist pump at fir park we were told by the media it could've incited crowd trouble, the same applies here.

The Celtic bench attacking a pensioner also seems to have been swept aside.

Craig Gordon, over 6ft tall towering over a pensioner should not be a good look.
 
This is the guy that wants a 5 game ban for a gesture. He’s a complete rocket.

So far this season alone we’ve gone from a pie, to a half bottle to a hot drink aimed at our players and this lady flap think a player has no case to answer for chucking something (no matter how innocuous) at a fan.

If Morelos ain’t allowed a ‘feck you’ when he’s getting dogs abuse then only the mentally challenged can justify the tramp’s behaviour.

Nobody's going to end up in A&E after been faced with a hand gesture either, but you haven't shut the f uck up about it for three weeks now, ya fucking tramp.

And spare me the "mental health" garbage spouted by the rest of the tramps.

Are you trying to give the racist, alkie, junkie bastard a license to do whatever the f uck he likes?
 
Mental we still expect anything different from these bead rattling tramps

Someone should ask the hypocrite if anyone ever ended up in A&E from seeing a gesture!
 
Weve all to be grateful a ned and convicted racist has beaten his demons....

Weve also to give credit apparently for him going public.....nothing to do of course with his rancid club wanting to make it easier to control the narrative in the media on his off field issues.....
 
"when it comes to offences, chucking a bit of tape at a fan is hardly Eric Cantona’s kung-fu kick".

You may be right Sutton but it is a step up from making a non physical gesture by that the next time could be a boot not a piece of tape?

Even so Sutton and others trivialise this and want to give comfort, compassion and defend this persons actions but then to squeeze in a sarcastic remark about Morelos a young lad that has experienced hardships, loss and excels in humility and humanity in helping others in a level of society to which he has risen above and gives the help with what he can to giving back something to others less fortunate but gets bullied and abused by many msm, fans and pundits in this country!

Yet here we are where they wanted to crucify Morelos but want to give compassion, understanding, defense to a racist, gambler and drug user whom only does for their own selfish needs!

Sutton has once again laid bare his obvious bias prejudices for all to see as have other outlets of msm, fans and pundits!
 
I can’t stand Sutton

Imagine that was Alfie throwing an object at an elderly supporter?

He would want him banned for another 5 games just like he wanted for the gesture at Parkpaed

He is a too faced arsehole and the article of him confronting a 16 year old referee sums him up

A scumbag just like Griffiths
 
I don't get Hartson and Sutton tbh.ok you played for them.lots of EPL players have.Do others feel the need to defend Celtic 24)7 or cause more grief in Glasgow ?maybe to do with the fact they,d be career less if Rangers didn't exsist

This piece just makes me more angry about Barry Ferguson's yesterday. The dignified stuff is not going to work here and we need OUR people in the media to help us out and call it for what it is. Double Standards!

Ferguson's articles tend to be opinion. His opinion. Some are lauded here some criticised.

Sutton, and all the other ex Celtc players, toe the party line. Unable to think for themselves and unable to see the wood for the trees.

I know which is preferable.
 
Sutton On Morelos, he's defo on the Celtic payroll.


"The rules are there to stop this kind of thing and Morelos simply can’t be allowed to make those types of signs to supporters.

The SFA would be a laughing stock if they don’t take action as what kind of message does this send out? That it’s OK to make violent gestures?

Neil Lennon copped a three-game ban for doing an aeroplane 
celebration, for goodness sake. Tell me what is worse?"
 
We have one man who kicked a teammate in the head and another who got done for spitting in a mans face acting as moral guardians of Scottish football.

What a time to be alive.

For a moment I thought he must actually be in an alternative universe but the roaster actually believes this :eek:
 
Has there ever been a player who signed for them with no real knowledge of the history or rivalry who has become a more bitter, twisted lady's front bottom than this rhat? You’d be hard pushed to think of one I reckon.
 
Sutton - “No one is going to end up in A&E after getting hit by a bit of paper.”

Also Sutton - “Morelos should be banned for an additional 5 games for his hand gesture.”

What a disgusting hypocritical mentally challenged rat Sutton is.

The painting of Griffiths as some sort of heroic victim within the Scottish media is fûcking repulsive.

These guys think they are crusaders for the modern game and terrifying to think that as well as the morons lapping this shit up they get a paid platform to spout this insane drivel.
 
Griffiths is a nasty piece of work. Yet Sutton is sympathetic towards him. Alfredo, on the other hand, lives his life well away from the gutter. Yet Sutton hates him passionately. Sutton is racist, and he should be run out Scottish football for it.
 
(no one is going to end up in A&E after getting hit by a bit of paper.)
what if the rolled up tape hit someone in the eye

Hollicom needs to supply this mouthpiece with better material. Only recently Alfie is singled out by this arsehole as setting a bad example to youngsters.
”Do we want our youngsters making that sort of gesture” he whined?
At a time when missiles are raining down on Rangers players, why is it ok for Griffiths to “set a bad example” by actually demonstrating how to use the nearest thing to hand when your head pops?
