I don't see them doing it, in fact I imagine the new boss will use this as a lever to get the best out of him.
He's been a bit of a fool though......
Do you think they use their social media accounts to try and get them to send photos of them?Quote:

According to that article Griffiths was "placed under an internal probe" :greengrin which sounds both impossible and illegal.Quote:

Chasing 16 year old lassies around, the negative media attention it brings and so on does seem to effect his ability to be a decent football player though.Quote:

He also says that other than one or two wee bursts of form, he’s largely been pretty poor for them.
End of the day if he comes on during the week and scores the winning goal for them or scores the winning goal against Rangers he will be back to being a hero
It’s his GF I feel sorry for

That’s his responsibility. He’s a very lucky boy that she wasn’t a year younger.Quote:

Anyone using football players as some sort of moral compass is a moron. They’re largely uneducated idiots with loads of money.Quote:

If he came back to hibs and did the business for us scoring a barrow load of goals and assists his indiscretion would soon be forgotten about. He's been a fool but nothing criminal. I'd be all for giving Leigh a chance. We're all human and guaranteed to make mistakes in life.
It's a shame that you can be cleared of other crimes and its forgotten about, but with others the tag will stick - particularly if you're in the spotlight.
Griffiths behaved atrociously and he's embarrassed himself and his family but he's not a "nonce" until proven guilty, and he was cleared.
If the celtic fans are booing because he's messed up one too many chances then fair enough, but if it's because they see him as the above then that's a shame and I worry for the future of LG with that tag hanging over him.
Think Celtic will beat them thought they were poor.Quote:

If you have evidence of this then I’d suggest you forward it to the club.Quote:
