Dee Bliss Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 1 hour ago, RandomGuy. said: You understand why Griffiths ran 30 yards to kick a flare, which landed nowhere near him, into a crowd of people when he knew fine well the game was being shown live on TV? And yes, this thread since then has literally been Dundee fans trying to blame others for it. The police will investigate who brought the flare in but that'll take longer than the Griffiths situation. I 100% blame the St Johnstone fans. The fanny with the flare is the root problem. You’ve posted a link to a guy with 3 followers who’s posted next to nothing. I’m going to suggest the flare hit no one. Griffiths should be getting praised for returning the guy’s flare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentino Bolognese Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Question: If anyone here had been told before the match one of the 22 players (plus subs) on the park would boot a flare into the away crowd and there was a £100 free bet on who it was, would anyone not have put the money on Griffiths?

Totally this. Taking in flares is illegal, no outcry from the Sainties. As already been said getting extremely ’old firmy’. Never heard of self policing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they continue this pish then they'll, once again, find themselves not getting to games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the flare had been aimed at the guy who threw it, and there was no danger to anyone else, I could understand this viewpoint. Your absolute weirdo take that anyone I the stand is fair game to be hit with a flare because an absolute random they'll never speak to in their life threw it, is the sticking point here. Griffiths wasn't "giving the flare back" to the boy who threw it, he was kicking at random into a group of folk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 At the end of the day, this wouldn’t have happened if Dundee hired more stringent security. Cutting costs of non-playing staff to fund a thugs loan wages. Disgraceful. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The correct way forward in Scottish football is to fire the flares back at the fannies who take them and anyone in the immediate vicinity is fair game. Toughen up or don’t go to games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffiths is a dead ball specialist and boys like that I’m sure could produce the same accuracy with any object be it a football or a pyrotechnic. Cannae teach it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Bliss Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Griffiths’ reaction has already got the Americans tuning in. Win, win for the Scottish game. We’re hardly going to sell the game abroad by saying St Johnstone host Ross County today in front of a baying crowd of 2200 fans are we. The Americans will be selling the game against Aberdeen by saying let’s tune in to Scottish football where the players rip the pish out of the away fans by either booting flares into the away support or sticking their heads on rival fans in the boozers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen lots of ‘it’s good they’re back creating an atmosphere’ type posts. Honestly you’re pouring all the blame a poor guy with psychological issues. You spend 60 minutes shouting the most outrageous abuse at someone with mental illness, hoping to goad him into cracking, you throw rockets at him, he cracks and you start crying and calling the polis?

They're great because they actually sing but the downsides are massive. If Griffiths hadn't reacted, and we'd got fined for the flare + fans lifted for it, I'd be applauding that decision. A lot of our fanbase are completely blinded by them and I've no idea, they're generally just causing issues at every away game and it'll bite us all eventually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF? #justiceforleigh It’s a disgrace and embarrassment the way St Johnstone fans behave at games. No remorse from their club about endangering the players lives with flares either. Shite club, shite fans. Their whole fanbase should be banned from all games. I reckon a 3 game ban and 100k fine to start with. Players must be protected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin.Hood Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Has the person who threw the illegal missle been identified yet? Would have thought it be fairly straight forward. I'm sure the person who got struck from Leigh will be wanting to know also who it was that brought it in and have this person banned from football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
