@united Ireland regarding Griffiths, please correct me if I'm wrong but who was 1 one player singled out for coming back from lockdown seriously overweight and has brought controversy through breaching C.V. rules? We don't have a short memory and do not forget.

Leigh Griffiths should concentrate on being a professional, setting an example both on and off the pitch before preaching the moral high ground.

Club has already supported Griffiths through his mental health issues and will be continually monitoring him, sickening when you have to bring that up to support your weak argument. Griffiths and any other persons suffering mental health issues, deserve to be treated with dignity and respect .

I don’t know if you see it yesterday Phil.
Since December 2016 Leigh Griffiths has only played the full 90 minutes in 11 League games.
Griffiths, Ajeti and Klimala haven’t played a single game of 90 minutes this season between them in all competitions.
Celtic need to sell all 4 strikers if possible and bring in replacements.

so leigh Griffiths comes back from lockdown over weight a man who is suffering from mental health conditions. with mental health conditions the last thing you won't to do is even do anything. most of the country probably put weight on in lockdown and if you have mental health issue it makes getting motivated a lot harder especially when your in a lockdown. lockdown is causing mental health issues with a lot of people mate so if its causing mental health issues for people who were fine what is it doing to some one who already had mental health issues making those mental health issues a lot harder to overcome.

griff was flying when he came back seem to be getting better then bang lockdown completely halted his recovery and set him right back to square one with a lockdown on top

i have a mate who has mental health issues and this lockdown is destroying him and guess what he has piled on weight to and its struggle to get him to leave the house for a walk and try get him motivated. so i have sympathy for Griff and can maybe see why he has came back in that shape

what is sicking Phil is you slating a man with mental health issues for being over weight and unfit during a lockdown that is causing even people who are fine to have mental health issues. so your taking on it is leigh get up get fit and lose weight and stop being unprofessional totally wrong way to go about it. its get your head right first then get fit and we as celtic supporters support you.


leigh Griffiths has scored 121 goals for this club mate in 246 games that is a great return for someone wee bought for over a 100 grand. in the last few season he has not being first choice due to dembele and Edouard 2 amazing strikers so if griff was number 1 what do you think his goal return would be.

Problem with your rational view on Griffiths being overweight and unfit coming back from lockdown was he played 32 games in total before previous season was called. A respectable amount of games for someone who had his issues the previous season and declared himself fit and ready. If the rest of the squad came back a lot fitter then Griffiths has no excuse.

Club would of looked after welfare of not only Griffiths but all of the players during lockdown and provided support when needed. So again no excuses there either.

Also lockdown couldn't of affected Griffiths that much if he was still able to go partying after league was awarded.

Buzz never saw that mate. Your right they need to be shipped out.

I commented yesterday on the griffiths situation and I want to clarify my point. Griffiths mental health issues are well documented and in the main I’d say he’s been heavily supported by the club and the support and rightly so. Now anyone who knows me would tell u I’m a massive fan of griffiths, infact on his game I’d say he’s every bit the player edouard is. My problem yesterday was griffiths interview, questioning the fans on their opinions of lennon, questioning fans” short memories “. For me griffiths should keep his head down and just fully focus on his personal situation and do his upmost in helping the team, Lennons a big boy, I’m pretty sure lennon would prefer to see griffiths work his ass off getting back to full fitness and doing what he does best than get involved in the media circus surrounding the club right now, and I certainly don’t think it’s advisable right now to question the clubs support.

{Ed007's Note - There's no way LG's interview wasn't sanctioned by the Club, Garry. He probably got a pat on the back from Lennon for it.}

phill when griff came back he was flying then lockdown happened a lock down that is causing mental health issues so that has caused a set back of course. and you say he was the only one who came back in that state he was the only one in the squad suffering from mental health. so i think the lockdown played a massive part in setting him back.

do you not understand mental health makes people feel they do not want to live anymore. aye griff had no excuse being unfit doesn't matter if he had mental health issue he should just get up and get on with it. he was over it a few month ago. people with mental health issue very rarely seem to fully get over them

how did you feel when kris boyd questioned griffs mentality were you outraged if you were mate you are a utter hypocrite you are basically questioning his mentality just now

and as for the partying the booze is something people with mental health seem to motivate there self for. its easy to pick up a can get drunk and take the depression away for a bit and feel good.

you say some one with mental health should be treated with respect and dignity yet your on here calling him out for being unfit and overweight. do you know the hard work that is required to be a professional footballer and be at the top of your game people with mental health struggle to even get up and get ready never mind put there self through hard core training. i tell you one thing phill never become a support worker to help with mental health because if its you helping them that person is doomed.

25 Jan 2021 11:14:14
phill so we don't go back and forward. if griff never had mental health issues i would be asking why has he came back in that state when all other players are fit.

but he has mental health issues and that's why i am defending him its something i have witnessed with family members and mates and seen first hand how it can destroy some ones life and aiming criticism at them for not being motivated is a bit risky as that person is a ticking time bomb just need to keeping being positive with them and let them go at there own pace and encourage them. that's just my view on it.

25 Jan 2021 11:22:37
United Ireland i probably understand a hell of a lot more about mental health than you ever will, being in a bad way aged 22 suicidal and required the need to be sectioned!

So don't ever question whether or not I know how someone with mental health feels or not. I'm giving you my opinion on a subject that you felt the need to raise regarding Griffiths.

He was unfit, overweight and totally unprofessional coming back from c. v. that's not being disrespectful, that's stating facts! If he doesn't want to pull his weight and work hard like every other one of his team mates then he shouldn't be playing football. Mental health has nothing to do with it.

25 Jan 2021 11:47:54
on that note i completely sympathise with you on your struggles with it and hope all is well with you now and would give you my ear and time if it was ever needed.

but i know a lot about it to mate i have attended funerals because of mental health issues people have had and sadly they did not want to be here anymore that's why i feel very strongly about criticising people with it and its why i think griff has came back unfit and would never call him out on his motivation wile he suffers from it.

i would rather not argue with you over it anymore mate as i feel rotten now knowing you have struggled with it and its not a good subject to be arguing over if you have had your problems with it to. hope i did not cause any offence and i truly mean if you ever need a ear i can fire my email over and we can chat and things ever get tough you can come out a walk with me and my mate and have chat and clear the mind.

United Ireland let's forget about thread. Water under bridge mate.

{Ed007's Note - Yeah I think that's for the best lads 👍 I try to keep threads away from talking about specific people's mental health, especially LG's & Lennon's as some of you have probably noticed recently with their posts being edited.

25 Jan 2021 14:17:37
defo mate. stupid of me to even start arguing with you over it.

25 Jan 2021 15:44:35
I guessed that's why my post never went up good decision ed hh.

{Ed007's Note - 👍
