    I'm talking about the bigger picture with Griff, his attitude and lack of fitness, it's not just about this incident in isolation, the guy should've been punted long ago.

    The guy is a waster, keeping him at the club just smacks of lazy penny pinching.

    Police dont determine that actually, they send a report to the fiscal, the fiscal then determine if its in the public interest to proceed with a summons to court or not.
    Enough the with "paedo" priest patter as well, your sound like a hun.

    Pretty much agree with what you say.

    Only part I won’t be decisive on is whether he knew she was under 16 or not. I still find him creepy and it doesn’t change my opinion of him or whether he should be at the club at all. I still think someone in there 30s messaging a teenager is creepy and disgusting.

    Until it’s proven he knew she was underage or if more stuff comes out with other girls, I won’t comment on that part. I still want him out the club and he’s still a creep messaging young girls.

    You can get a not proven by Law at a court doesn’t mean to say you are innocent let’s be serious here as for the police you speak of unfortunately it’s not there jobs to determine who is guilty and who is not. not sure why you assume that? That’s down to the crown prosecutor, Judge & the court process etc the police can only work with what they have to press charges to Present to the crown prosecutor and a picture or Emoji of a Camera is not enough it’s clear to see what he meant and what he was wanting in return but he could have denied that and I’m assuming he did to the police. It does not take away the fact he wanted pictures from a wean

    I don't disagree that he's not been good enough but hearing him getting booed today didn't feel right IMO.

    Ange came in and said he'd give everyone a chance he's given Griffith a 1 year contract to prove himself. That's good enough for me. Too many Celtic fans want to tell the manager what to do, that's not how it works.

    For me, as much as I despise the cheating because I think it’s wrong for anyone, that’s not the issue at all.

    I’m taking the football completely out of it. He was caught messaging a minor and in a very sneaky way. It’s extremely suspicious, weird and creepy.

    I’ve mentioned above, I won’t use the word “paedo” for him as he hasn’t been convicted of anything yet, actually cleared of sending illegal message, but you can’t say 100% for sure he is not.

    It’s very possible he didn’t know her age but he didn’t even bother to ask either, he went straight to the message with camera emojis, then said * it when she asked what he meant. Why did he not say what he meant? If he didn’t know she was under 16, he still messaged someone who is 15, that’s a fact but also he still messaged a young girl. It’s creepy and disgusting even if she was 16/17/18, he’s in his 30s.

    If it was my younger sister or niece or I had a daughter that young getting messaged by an old man, I’d lose my *.

    Did he know the age of the female he was messaging?

    If so, he should be removed from the club.

    If not, then the crime is cheating on his Mrs.

    You keep saying this but he wasn't even charged so he had no case to answer.

    You can slant it anyway you want but if he was really guilty the club would have terminated his contract in a second.

    He’ll have claimed he didn’t know her age.

    He clearly didn't and the lassie herself said he didn't. He is a chancing * and a rat but it isn't fair to call him a paedo or a nonce.

    He obviously didn't know her age and from the pictures I seen she looked much older than 15 like in her 20's. It's not morally right he was messaging other woman while in a relationship but the guys not a paedo and it's not right he is being accused of such a heinous crime.

    If there was even a hint that he was a beast he would have been crucified by the police and courts etc.

    I've not see many Celtic players play well after the Celtic support boo every touch they have. In fact I've never seen a Celtic player booed like that the way Griffith was today it was shocking

    He’s been * for years now. The decision to keep him on was crazy, even for our board.
