Griffiths / Shaw

***Carheenlea*** · 21-10-2017 01:37 PM

Leigh Griffiths received a bigger standing ovation in the Hibs stands when he was substituted than Oli Shaw, an exciting up and coming youngster coming on to make his Hampden debut - come on guys, WTF was that all about?

***Frazerbob*** · 21-10-2017 01:38 PM

And a rendition of 1 of our own. Unreal.

**Joe6-2** · 21-10-2017 01:40 PM

Not great, but it's as much to wind up septic as anything else!

**MWHIBBIES** · 21-10-2017 01:41 PM

Embarrassing. More support for him than some Hibs players. The guy is a celtic player, nothing more. Had a good loan spell here but come on, isnt even close to a legend like Lewis, Stokes, Deeks etc.

***easty*** · 21-10-2017 01:41 PM

I love Griffiths, but no chance I was getting involved in that singing.

***Steve20*** · 21-10-2017 01:45 PM

That was a joke singing for Griffiths. Embarrassing for a Celtic player.

Isn't being a spectator about trying to influence the game in whatever way you can? Showering an opposition player with affection can sometimes be more effective than giving them abuse.

Eh he was leaving the field of play at the time and could no longer influence the game.

I gave him a clap. Guy was a shining light at a pretty crap time for Hibs.

I was also capable of giving Shaw a good ovation.

It was done intentionally although I’d say more uncomfortable for the Celtc support who idolise a hibby. Some of them would love to re-write history and claim him so I thought the singing was fine!

Griffiths also clapped the very vocal Hibs support at the end of the game too and NOT in a patronising way. Can’t understand why a handful of folk get all upset about things like this. Just chill FFS

Wonder what our players thought when they heard Griffith's ovation, totally bizarre

**Onceinawhile** · 21-10-2017 01:56 PM

Thought it was odd. Much like singing about Mark Warburton and Andy halliday.

**bigstu** · 21-10-2017 01:56 PM

We all like Lee Griffiths, get over it. You don't have to hate every opposing player

Exactly

**DTS** · 21-10-2017 01:58 PM

I refuse to ever sing a name of an opposition player in the 90 mins. One of our own? Yes. Did he want us to lose today? Yes. So as far as I’m concerned for the 90 mins today he was not “one of us”

They probably never noticed or didn't care.

They probably thought it was a bit cheeky of the Hibees to remind their Celtc counter parts that they love a hibby!

Like we remind them who first wore the green and what team they’d likely all support had it not been for Hibernian FC!

I too like Leigh Griffiths, but what perplexed me was that the same folk near me who were on their feet to applaud him off were sat motionless when Shaw took the field. Didn't do him any harm of course, as we were all on our feet a minute later.

As you say, did no harm.

Hopefully he will play for Hibs again one day. Great player & big Hibby.

***California-Hibs*** · 21-10-2017 02:26 PM

Nothing wrong with it at all. I enjoy Celtic fans being reminded they idolize a Hibee. He gave us many wonderful moments, has NEVER been disrespectful on or off the pitch since he left, which can’t be said for others. Hopefully we see him back at his club one day. Love the guy!

He’s one of our own! 🎵

***hibee_girl*** · 21-10-2017 02:26 PM

Some of Celtic fans raging at Griffiths on twitter for not trying today, a few telling him to come back to us

**smithy_hibees** · 21-10-2017 02:30 PM

Unsure what the problem is?
Do we need hate/like every player? Fans boo our own players etc did Sparky look like he wanted play against us today? Not really tbh Celtic fans giving him stick cause he didn't play well,
Hes a Hibs fan whom still goes to Hibs games btw earning a lot more money than we can offer, would he be playing for Scotland if with us? just look at McGinn will McGinn leave? Yes
Griffiths says how much he respects Hibs so cant fans respect him?

Hope Rodgers listens to them then.

***HibbiesandtheBaddies*** · 21-10-2017 02:34 PM

Let's not get upset about it.

***Keith_M*** · 21-10-2017 02:36 PM

I thought our support was thanking him for not trying a leg today. I didn't join in but I can't say it bothered me too much.

I thought the backing we gave the team was immense, considering our relatively small numbers and the fact we were second best most of the 90 minutes.
