Any comments from the High and Mighty who Slammed Nl for Signing Griffiths,and if my memory serves me well the many posters who said "" This is not the type of person we have at Celtic Football Club"
All comments Welcome

{Ed007's Note - Is that the known racist Leigh Griffiths, the same one who is due to stand trial at the start of October for singing a song with offensive lyrics likely to incite public disorder? No doubt come October we'll be seeing the name of the club dragged through the mud and splashed all over the media for the wrong reasons and all because of LG - AGAIN!
At the time LG signed I said we should never have signed him, until he puts all the off field problems to bed once and for all I'll still say that we should never have signed him. Give it 4 or 5 years and I might be persuaded, but I think Tommy Burns' place as a model Celt is safe.
Sadly my morals, sense of right and wrong and the courage of my convictions aren't going to be changed because someone has scored a few goals for my football team, that would be stupidity. Sadly a lot of the CFC support don't have that inner strength and happily ignore the hypocrisy of their actions hoping nobody notices.
It now looks like a lot of our fans are more than happy just to accept general racism, as long as it isn't aimed towards them or the Irish it's not really racism.
I often wonder what CFC supporters would make of LG if he had went to the other side of Glasgow and signed, I'm sure they would all be out in support of his right to sing racist songs and make racist comments, it could even have brought both sets of fans together.}

I think Malika has had a good day out today, can there be any other reason for the rubbish being spouted?

26 Apr 2015 22:18:22
Thanks for your Objective and Coherent response, I was just Looking directly in his Eyes when he scored the Third today and in my opinion saw a real fire and a real appreciation of where he is right now,just wondered if anyone else was of the same opinion, you are obviously not

{Ed007's Note - Obviously not. How do you know it wasn't a glint of terror in his eyes,. I can just see everyone jumping about mental after the goal and some creepy guy standing totally still in the middle of it all staring straight into LG's eyes!

Was it like this? or this?

26 Apr 2015 22:50:36
Bang on ED , just because he scores goals does mean that he is that type of person we want at OUR CLUB.
No player or anyone connected with our club has the right to bring it into disrepute.

There will always be another player around the corner to fill his boots.
However there is only one CELTIC

26 Apr 2015 23:56:36
Malika for lenght of time I've been posting on this site, its amazing how bizarre some peoples brains work. No matter how well Griffiths is playing and yes I have been praising his performances, still doesn't change fact transfer should never of been sanctioned.

Obviously you would welcome Ched Evans with open arms

27 Apr 2015 07:50:30
A discussion on here not so long ago showed some would have the convicted rapist play DN.

They advocated rape and actually posted links about it being the daft wee lassies' fault! So any chat of 'morals' etc is nothing more than a word.

27 Apr 2015 08:40:46
This again. I posted a while back that although LG has had more than his fair share of off-field problems, this was his chance to turn it around. I believe he's done that and RD has played a huge part in that.

His goals have got us out of trouble on more than one occasion this season and I for one have been totally behind him. There's a few of Eds brown nosers on here and for DN30 to try to compare a convicted rapist to a guy singing a song is embarrassing

{Ed001's Note - what kind of muppet tries to suggest someone agreeing with Ed007's opinion is just a brown noser? I mean it is not like they could just have morals unlike yourself is it? You are typical of the kind of person that has no real argument to support their opinion so you just try and make it a personal attack on everyone who has a different opinion.}

27 Apr 2015 09:39:56
I for one was not happy with the signing of Griffitths! For many obvious reasons but I'm hoping between starting to grow up and RD's influence he can prosper into the footballer he can be!

27 Apr 2015 10:26:54
He's been daft and made mistakes but he seems to really be on the right track these days under RD. Credit where it's due, he can't change the past but he can keep his head down, work hard and reach his obvious potential which it looks like he has finally realised.

27 Apr 2015 07:45:21
Ed I know your a big Scott brown fan but where did you find that pick of him as a teenager with a tash.

27 Apr 2015 11:09:09
Henriks Tongue so i'm a brown noser now because I don't want to see players signed who have caused trouble and can't behave yourself? What kind of example does that set to kids who support club? "Ah son its okay! doesn't matter what he done he's part of "celtic family" now.

Mentioning Ched Evans was relevant. It can't be one rule for one person and a different one for another.

People like yourself are what's wrong with society today. Make rules up as they go along but really know nothing at all.

27 Apr 2015 11:26:14
I'd be more concerned about the cold calculated support 1 of our players has for 1 of the most murderous regimes in the world and also the exploits of 1 of our directors in Ireland than a caught in the moment sing song.

{Ed007's Note - To be fair though Commons was born in England so you can't really blame him for supporting them.}

27 Apr 2015 12:01:14
Very good ed

27 Apr 2015 12:31:53
TTTS its only a matter of time before $hit hits the fan.

27 Apr 2015 14:36:02
My last reply wasn't posted so I'll try again. Ed001 I actually gave a reasoned argument for Griffiths. But maybe you're the type of person who only reads what suits them!

DN30 I think you'll find the courts have one rule for Evans and another for Griffiths ya clown. There's no relevance whatsoever in that.

The guy done wrong and absolutely should not have been singing that song but like I've said, he seems to get got his head down and stayed out of bother so whether we wanted the club to sign him or not let's get behind him because he's a good player.

27 Apr 2015 14:57:06
Henriks Tongue clown? With comments like that you wouldn't look out of place touring with bobby roberts circus pmsl.

Judging by your last post and you crawling out of ed001s ar$e, its clear your last post was not posted because you are an angry little man/woman who cannot conduct himself in a civilised manner when participating in a debate. A typical problem of the internet these days #keyboard warrior.

I wonder what your opinion on matter would be if you or someone else was the victim. No need to guess really

27 Apr 2015 16:16:39
I'm not angry in the slightest I just get fed up reading crap like what LG did was as bad as ched evans. I mean surely even you can see that's nonsensical!

27 Apr 2015 17:53:58
Fair enough the seriousness of the two incidents may differ, but point is still very valid. He cannot behave himself off the field and youngsters will look upto LG and imitate him thinking its okay cause LG done it. Also how do you think some of our support would feel if what LG done directly offended them? Do you think they like digging deep to pay his wages? that's why I stand by what I said. No matter how well he is playing he should never of been signed

27 Apr 2015 18:39:26
My point was he IS now behaving himself off the field and seems to have taken this chance we gave him to turn his life around. Of course he could go and do something stupid and prove me wrong and I will hold my hands up if that happens.
It wasn't too long ago he made a lovely gesture to a hearts fan who had his house burgled.

Celtic has been good for him and he's been good for u. Hail hail

{Ed007's Note - Yeah that's been a whole eight months since CFC security had to drag him up the tunnel when he tried to get into a fight with his own fans - something else he has previous for - after the Legia Warsaw game.
It takes a special effort for the stupidity of a footballer to stand out from the thousands of idiots playing professional football, and Leigh Griffiths is certainly special in that department.}

27 Apr 2015 23:11:57
Leigh Griffith has a special talent in scoring goals and as Celtic fans we should appreciate that . He has been judged to have behaved in a way unbecoming of a sporting icon when he was younger . What we have to judge is , are we a club open for all, do we give people chances or are we judgemental . Despite many posts Leigh Griffiths hasn't acted in an unbecoming way since he has joined Celtic .

{Ed007's Note - He was a CFC player at the time of incident he's standing trial for in October. He was a CFC player when he had to be dragged up the tunnel at Murrayfileld by CFC security for trying to fight with CFC fans. I suppose we should be grateful he's moved up in the hard man stakes from throwing soft drinks over 14 y.o. schoolkids and trying to fight with them, that situation would not have ended so well for him if he was a CFC player at the time.
Remember everything doesn't end up in the public domain, Chris, and since signing for CFC Griffiths has CFC wages to spend plus the club's legal & PR team behind him to help with any problems.}

28 Apr 2015 01:15:01
Yes Ed 007 , he was a Celtic player at the time of the singing incident in the pub . As far as I know a person in Scotland is innocent until he is found guilty .
I have some respect for the courts of law , if and when he is found guilty , public opinion should then debate and decide the seriousness of his actions .

I remember a previous Celtic player was sent off by the referee in the tunnell for his interaction with a fan . The referee explained that he sent Lubo off to save him from been arrested . Lubo's behaviour in the tunnel at half time in that match didn't seem to have had long term affects on the love Celtic fans still have for Lubo.

{Ed007's Note - Right, as long as we all know you're wrong again.}

28 Apr 2015 17:45:55
Fair enough Ed , if you don't believe a person is innocent until he is found guilty .

And if you don't remember that Lubo had to be restrained from having a go at a moron fan , just like Griffiths , and Lubo suffered no long term damage in his relationship with Celtic fans .

Ed , it must be great you knowing everything about everything .
I feel so blessed knowing I have only to post anything about Celtic and you will correct me , even if I am not wrong .

{Ed007's Note - It can be a burden and dealing with insignificant no-marks can be trying but we all have our cross to bear and luckily I have broad shoulders. I got used to people being in awe of me years ago so you're not alone in your admiration of me, I'm actually surprised it's took you so long to realise though - but they all get there in the end so well done.
You're lucky that my love of CFC is stronger than my hatred of mankind or I wouldn't be here sharing my wisdom with you, I need to do what I can to make sure supporters like you don't and can't embarrass the club any longer.
Have you ever heard the saying 'envy blinds men and makes it impossible for them to think clearly?'}

28 Apr 2015 21:29:57
No , God , I haven't heard that saying , did you make it up, when you took time out from correcting us normal people .

{Ed007's Note - Some call them normal, I prefer little. It was Malcolm X that said it btw, I wonder what he'd have thought about you wanting public opinion to decide on how serious racism is? I really can't see it catching on, see that's why you should leave the thinking to me, when you do it you just embarrass yourself.
There you've learnt something new today, take it on board and move on, surely tomorrow can't be as bad as today, even for you - can it? Just think how better your life would have turned out if you had met me years ago.}

30 Apr 2015 21:09:57
Ed 007
As you want to do all the thinking for all , why don't you start a new blog where you could post all the thoughts of your fantastic mind and have a little button where we could show our agreement .

{Ed007's Note - How do you know I don't already have one? It's not just you that hangs on my every word in the hope of escaping their bleak & meaningless existence. I can't believe you actually thought someone like me would need advice from the likes of you! Is that what you want, Chris, a wee blog to all of your own?}

01 May 2015 01:21:41
Ed 007
I am too humble to want a blog of my own , you got me right I just live so that I can be educated in such a way that my simple mind thinks like you and can interpret the goings on in the world correctly .
I give thanks to God every night for coming across your posts .

{Ed007's Note - Good for you but I doubt turning to religion now will help the likes of you - stick to your staunch Presbyterianism.}

01 May 2015 17:19:02
Ed007 sorry I am not a pres. ( I cannot even spell that religion)

{Ed007's Note - Well stop acting like one.}

26 Apr 2015 15:03:09
Glad I was wrong with my earlier post, much better second half and Griffiths with a hatrick well done boys, onward to Celtic Park on Friday, give the whole squad 2 days off then work on Dundee game from Wednesday onwards hail hail

26 Apr 2015 15:25:02
Very negative Tim!

26 Apr 2015 17:10:06
True supporters never doubt their club, nor spread their negative feelings .

26 Apr 2015 17:57:47
I was delighted with the second half performance and their keeper saved them from a hammering.
Armstrong looked uncomfortable to be back at Tannadyce and was lucky to last an hour, but Brown was again outstanding and covered every blade of grass and Griffiths had another fine game, collecting another match ball for his efforts.
Although we had a five point lead - the Bhoys have had to play their 'games in hand' several times in the past few weeks, the way the fixtures have been scheduled and they deserve great credit for emphasising their intent time and again, fighting for the title. Aberdeen have done very well maintaining a challenge, but we have it in sight now.

26 Apr 2015 19:19:39
Chris02 is that you the old knee pads on again?

26 Apr 2015 20:24:19
Dn30 I don't understand your nonsense , yet again .
What old knee pads to do with anything?
God I hate posters trying to be clever .

26 Apr 2015 09:44:08
Just was reminded that Denayer is 19 years old! Holy shoot. That's insane. Another season in the hoops and get back to city and demand that spot! Yeah he's good enough to deputise now - but I hope City give him the nod

26 Apr 2015 08:43:56
Two goals for Henderson in his game for Rosenborg in their 4-1 victory yesterday. I think this was his debut too. Great game for the lad!

27 Apr 2015 10:50:53
Nah he'd already had his debut apparently. Scored in that game too!

26 Apr 2015 01:39:33
I don't buy the rag but occasionally view it online (I work a lot in Singapore so like to see the various papers from UK) what a load of drivel from Chris Sutton on HIM and Jimmy Calderwood. He must be really struggling to come up with a decent article when he spends most of it advising Jimmy to let it go on a comment 12 years previous. If he really felt that then he should have taken one line to say just that, "let it go Jimmy, it was 12 years ago." Then move on to write something interesting. Oh, wait, he has not managed that yet so it's drivel and giving advice to Celtic. Trying to find all the successful teams he has managed which makes him qualified to discuss team decisions etc. Rant over, guess I should get my morning coffee first before reading

26 Apr 2015 20:32:13
Sutton must have headed the ball too often as he seems to have an empty space in that area . If he wanted to apologise for anything that happened in his Celtic career , it should be his deliberate handling of the ball twice within as many minutes at Ibrox whilst already on a yellow card . The inevitable red card ( Celtic's second ) made our task insurmountable. as we were already a player down . Sutton was the only Celtic player that I have ever seen purpously getting sent off just because he couldn't hack it on the day.
