    Because Boyd was talking about a period of three seasons, very specifically about a time when he was absent through his health, and he was being a complete *

    Any grief Griff has had this season is whilst he has been back in the squad and training

    If you don't understand why folk are unhappy at a guy that runs a mental health charity disregarding someones mental health issues then there really is no hope for you.

    Aye, the corner he floated to the back post when no * was near it then started shouting at everycunt as if it was their fault annoyed me. Made up for it though. Glad he’s back and looking sharper.

    Aye he scores more of the poacher type goals because he comes to life in the box.He’s got that in his locker.

    Great to have him and his hun hating self back!!!
    We don’t have his dead ball skills either when he’s out.

    Aye, that was the main one.

    See even if he whipped in a beauty and nobody was there, you'd prefer if he had a word with Julien, Ajer to say 'that's where I'll be putting them' for next time. * your face up and moaning at them, is going to get them moaning at you when you do something wrong....and I say this as a complete hypocrite that was a moany basturt to team-mates on the pitch :56:

    But so did Celtic fans? If you look through this thread, for an extended period Leigh had taken plenty of criticism from ourselves regardless of his mental health.

    If you’ve criticised him for missing games for mental health issues then that’s on you. Similarly for any other numpty with the same opinion.

    Aye me too. I was a number 9 that got fed up having studs raked down my Achilles, receiving the ball with my back to the goal, so I reverted to what was a sweeper role in the day.

    Long story short I loved it at the back and dished out the treatment that I got playing up top. In short I was a moaning faced * of a player to boot (pun intended)

    Do you agree with his inaccurate "stats" and the context he used (including games when Griff was unavailable), for his criticism?

    That's the point at play here and the reason for the outrage. Slate a player for their performance, no issues with that. But you are coming across as in favour of his critique last night man, which even neutrals are scratching their heads at.

    Putting a corner into the back post is one of the best ways to get a goal and there should naturally always be someone there anyway , so you can understand the frustration or annoyance at the fact , although having one of our strikers take the corner is in its self a bit crazy .

    We never, ever put anybody on the posts, attacking or defending them. It’s clear we send our biggest ariel threats up into the middle of the area to attack the face of the goal so sending a corner to the front or back post is pointless as *.

    Griff is also our best bet at set pieces and hopeless in the air against big burly hatchet men defenders so it makes perfect sense.

    He's actually in good form the last 2 years :fear: going back to 1st of January 2018 till now he's played 2012 minutes for us (22.35 full 90 minute games) and he has 13 goals and 5 assists in that time. 155 minutes per goal and 402 minutes per assits.

    With that average if he'd played the same amount as Edouard this season he'd have 17 goals and 7 assists. Edouard has 18 goals and 13 assists but obviously Griffiths minutes have been spread over about 60 games and a lot of him coming back unfit so his stats will be lower than a fit Griffiths playing regular.
