    Don't really see the point in your post anyway. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of so many people who are so self righteous and never put a foot wrong in this life.
    Yes of course you are 🙄

    It's shocking that people on here trying to defend him. His behaviour is deplorable. If he hadn't played briefly for Hibs, I doubt people would be treating this so lightly.
    A 30 year old asking a 16 year old for pics? Horrible.

    I'm shocked Celtic aren't trying to move him on.

    Is an adult getting pics from a 16 year old actually legal? Thought it was 18 for things like that?

    Not very tasteful but clearly legal, as the police enquiry confirmed.

    History is littered with examples of what was legal but not necessarily palatable. John Knox, at the age of 54, married his second wife when she was a child who may have been as old as 15, likely 14. Even our present PM is 14 years senior to his present wife.
    Whether we like it or not the age of consent in the UK is 16 and there is no legal definition of what is a suitable age difference between “adults”. What LG did seems a bit creepy but it’s legal.

    I always thought the age of consent, 16, is different from the age for porn/dirty pics or whatever. Isn't that 18? Google seems to say so.

    Well maybe: the police may have just concluded that there is little or no chance of a conviction. Perhaps the evidence is too ambiguous to stand up in court, despite most observers seeming to be fairly convinced about LG’s intentions.

    Yes, there are things we would like to be in life and then there is what the law says. I’m afraid I’m not much more up on the porno stuff since a mate turned up with 35mm Swedish movies in the 1970s. That’s when I was as young or younger than the girl LG seems to have contacted and the ladies in the movies seemed very mature but I suspect the polis have a handle on it

    Set aside all the online stuff. I dont want him at Hibs. I think we have a great group right now and he's just not what we need. imo.

    The reported police response was that there was “no criminality”
    I’m not about to defend LG but let’s not make stuff up in order to promote an agenda.

    Could be this. Did he not just do a couple of camera emojis and despite her having several attempts to get him to say send more pics by acting coy and saying she didn't understand he never came straight out and asked for them? Hard to win a legal case just based on that. There could be more to it as I only briefly read the story.

    Yip. Thankfully we live in a civilised society under the rule of law. He's committed no criminal offence. Therefore all we are hearing are individuals airing their own personal moral viewpoints. My own opinion is that he's been foolhardy and no more than that which shouldn't cost him his ability to ply his trade as a footballer.

    Ok thanks for the clarification. I’m not making up anything or pursuing an agenda here… I think we should all be very cautious when commenting on legal matters.

    Griffiths will get nowhere near our club and rightly so.

    Neither John Knox or Boris Johnson are being touted as the answer to our striker need though.

    That's because Boris is more of a right winger.

    I hear Boris has some skills in touch rugby... but only if you ignore the actual rules and need a fat slob to barge into some small kids to win the ball.

    Knox might just be a bit problematical with his (alleged) views on Catholics.


    Any 1970s TV entertainers are definitely a no-go area, before somebody suggests one...

    Call me cynical, but it's almost like he was set up. Surely that would never happen?

    That said, Griffiths has been a fool.

    The moment he signed a new deal at Celtic was the moment I didn’t want to see LG in a hibs top again. He had the chance to move on and didn’t. Since then all this has come out and although no “illegal behaviour” what he done is simply disgusting and shouldn’t be anywhere near hibs or IMO any football club. Football thrives on fans and kids loving the game and idolising players, when players try to use it to their advantage in ways that he did, it’s just wrong.

    Don’t want him as a footballer, don’t want him as a person.

    A bit dramatic for asking a girl who’d already posted pics of herself in her underwear for more pictures.

    Where do you stand on Martin Boyle playing for Hibs after being found guilty of driving when three times the alcohol limit?

    Glad someone brought that up. LG’s behaviour was questionable but IMO Boyle’s was worse. I never wanted the latter to leave Hibs and I’d take the former back in a minute. Both made mistakes, they are both human.

    The drink-drive thing doesn’t give people the opportunity to demonstrate their self-righteousness quite so much.

    The excuse making for Boyle back then was incredible. If it had been a player that we see as being a bit gash he’s have been hounded out the door.

    What this lassie has posted on her social media pages is up to her. It’s not up to her. She doesn’t get the choice of someone almost double her age creeping on her.

    It’s the same argument as someone harassed on the way home from the pub being judged to be “asking for it” because they’ve worn a short skirt.
