Scottish teams in Europe


Recommended Posts

Just looked in on the Celtic game, Leigh Griffiths trying to take a corner and was getting pelted with coins and other objects, picked up a half bottle of buckfast that had been thrown at him to show the ref and he got booked.

:shocked:

Thats harsh!

But as Willie Miller was saying last night on the radio you use to get 5 or 6 weeks worth of pre-season training and friendlies. When you think of it that way you were still only getting 3 - 4 weeks off. The difference in the old days was you gradually built up to fitness for the start of the league season. Now if you're in Europe you get 2 maybe 3 weeks training and friendlies then thrown in the deep end.

Poor kunts. My heart bleeds.

The BBC updates said the ref took out the yellow card but thought better of it and put it away and Griffiths wasn't actually booked. 

It doesn't look like he actually showed Griffiths the yellow card. So was he booked or not?

He had it in his hand but didn't seem to show it, not sure. Cock of a ref anyway. Sviatchenko was cleaned out twice and no foul plus a number of other 'home' decisions. Maybe he was intimidated by the 'culchurr'.

UEFA website has Griffiths card listed in the match stats.

That's disgraceful. Timewasting like that should get a red.

Agreed.

Instead of just taking the kick in front of a hostile crowd, he was determined to stay there as long as possible (encouraging even more reaction) by picking up thrown objects that he wouldn't have known anything about had he taken the corner a minute earlier.

This 'olive branch'/peaceful act of non-defiance will smooth thing over...

You certainly can't blame Griffiths, throwing objects particularly glass bottles is ridiculous.

He doesn't help himself though. Not that his actions excuse the Linfield fans in any way, but he was quite happy to fan the flames.nintchdbpict000338873883-e1500054086881.

No excuse for throwing harmful objects, but no excuse for throwing gasoline on the fire either.

It appears Griffiths may have baited the home support as it looks like he gave the '5-1/six in a row' gesture before anything was thrown...
