And how many of those players incited a crowd that would use any excuse for trouble? One? Correct... One. For balance, similar antics from players happen week in week out across the globe. Most of the time fans don't cross the line, these kents did in my view. That said, it's simply my view and I'm not looking for an argument.......

It appears the coding and testing on this system was done by a million monkeys on keyboards. ? You've his the nail on the head Ceelo. You can't complain about the abuse Griffiths got and whine about the stuff Gazza did. Essentially they've both behaved in a stupid way. That's still no excuse for the neanderthals to throw stuff at him, or any other footballer. However, I'm sure the Celtic players were well aware of the potential for trouble and had been asked to keep the rank Stupidity of the Linfield support in their minds. Griffiths doesn't deserve the abuse he received as its actually only a game of football. However he deserves some formal sanction for stirring up the hornets nest deliberately. Sympathy for him but only to a point. After all you'd give your kid a row if they got stung because they were poking the wasps nest with a stick, wouldn't you?

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... You think everything started at that corner from either side, such naivety. lol I was baited into throwing a glass bottle at someone. The impulse control of a scorpion.

phart Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) The flute thing is symbol of the orange order who believe in the actual supremacy of Protestantism over Catholicism. The 6 fingers is the number of times Celtic have won the league in a row. EDIT: Giving death threats for almost every scenario in existence is totally fecked up, you need locked up and educated on how stupid these things are. Moral equivalency is nothing but sophistry. If you genuinely believe they are the same, you're deep in Plato's Cave. Edited July 16, 2017 by phart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you genuinely believe they are the same, you're deep in Plato's Cave. I think you are wrong with the flute thing comment. The bands in the main are distinct from the Orange Order. and have their own tradition and history. Its less to with supremacy and more to do with defiance against perceived tyranny. The protestants in Derry really do believe that their ancestors stood firmly against James and his version of divine monarchy tied to Rome. Of course nearly 350 years later I think these people need to move on but Northern Ireland is unlike no other place in the UK. Communities are divided along sectarian grounds and there is little chance of reconciliation. The treatment of Catholics in NI in the 20th Century was shameful though and Unionists have to realize there is a lot more concessions to give up before this injustice is addressed.

I think what most people have an issue with is the Linfield fans over the top reaction when he decided to give just a little back. Who would have thought six fingers would have caused such a stooshie?! Would also ask why do LINFIELD fans have such a dislike to a score or game that didn't involve them?!

The Linfield fans are known for their less than friendly welcome and I'm positive every player was warned. However, only Griffiths managed to generate that reaction. Why? Nothing excuses the fans behaviour but Griffiths has to accept he hasn't helped the situation by his actions and it appears UEFA agree.

That has to give a reason for the booking and it would be interesting to see what it said. Unless Griffiths has said something but I don't think that was the case as the ref ran over to him with the card already out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only explanation I can think is that the ref thought he was time wasting and didn't realise what he was complaining about until he got over by which point it was too late. Or because buckfast isn't an official UEFA champions league sponsor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
