Griffiths ran 30 yards to boot it into the crowd. Whoever took the flare in should should identified and punished, but so should Griffiths. This all seems so obvious to me that I'm a bit astonished anyone is still debating it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peadar BigDinnerO'Driscoll Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Clearly wasn't an accident. Club looking a bit silly coming out with that statement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the club have got the lawyers onto this one pretty sharp. Will be interesting to see what happens. Fans taking pyros into games has precedence and protocol. That's in no way condoning, but it's a known issue with clear rules and (I think?) fines and punishments laid out. What LG did doesn't happen often, genuinely not sure what view the authorities will take. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Derry Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Tbf I'd boot a flare into a group of people calling me a paedo for an hour. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theyellowbox Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 2 hours ago, Leith Green said: It is impossible to state that the flare thrower aimed for anywhere specific, in the same way it cant be proven that Griffiths aimed for the crowd. Both he and Griffiths can claim what they want, but both are wrong and if they are pulled for it, both will be found guilty. I actually think both knew exactly what they were aiming for. Flare thrower aimed for pitch intentionally. Griffiths aimed for the fans intentionally. The guy kicks a ball for a living, if he kicks it like that, he knows what he is doing. Really simply: Flare thrower = w**k Griffiths = w**k Person hit by Flare in stand = not w**k There is no shades here. Cannot be arsed with the whataboutary. If Morellos did it he is a dick. If Liam Craig did it so is he. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a load of bull to be honest. They'd be better saying nothing. In all seriousness though, I think someone needs to help Leigh. Taking this incident aside, he is a guy in self destruct mode and clearly needs more help than he is getting. Being heckled week in week out doing your job is hard far anyone and footballers know the score, but he has so much history and unfortunately some mental health issues to consider. For his own benefit, maybe he'd be better not being in Scotland and a change would do him some good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D TOTAL Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 3 hours ago, RandomGuy. said: He'll be investigated as part of that. But again, it was thrown onto an empty part of the pitch with nobody with 20 yards. He's put people at risk by bringing it bit hasn't intentionally tried to harm anyone with it, Griffiths purposely kicked it into a crowd of people. The two things aren't the same. That right there is yer double standard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Fair play to Dundee for issuing a public statement admitting a Griffiths did indeed undertake a task that wasnt in his job role, for which he wasn't trained and in a manner which recklessly endangered supporters in the ground. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
