The OP Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Just now, StandFree03 said: What an utterly bizarre post. Did Griffiths score the equaliser or not? He did. He didn't carry the team as the previous poster suggested or 'bail out Celtic' as he stated. Roberts made the goal for Griffiths. Still leaping on absolutely anything I post with bizarre immediacy I see, otherwise I'd wonder why you were defending his point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The OP Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Just now, StandFree03 said: Are you actually arguing that Griffiths didn't bail out Celtic by scoring the equaliser? Are you sure you understand this whole football thing, what with the "we didn't lose m9" the other day too. If you are going to have a hissy fit when people reply to your posts then maybe an online forum isn't for you either TBH. You're just defending an inane point and backing up his misunderstanding that the person who scores a goal is the most important player. I'd suggest it's the pair of you who don't understand football. We didn't lose the game of football, I fully acknowledge we lost a penalty shootout in a friendly. I don't mind replies. The fact you leap on absolutely anything I post within moments causes me concern and is tedious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williemillersmoustache Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Very good result. Neither team played particularly well IMO, agree Roberts the stand out and with some more defensive options back from injury for the home leg not progressing would be a humiliating disaster for Celtic. Fingers crossed eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudu Dahan pal Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Griffiths clearly did bail out Celtic as he has done on countless occasions since he joined them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by 'bailing out' you mean 'scored a goal', isn't that what strikers are supposed to do? Did Ronaldo bail out RM, or Kane bail out Spurs or Suarez bail out Barca?

The OP Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 31 minutes ago, StandFree03 said: Nobody said Griffiths was the most important player. His goals have bailed Celtic out time and time again though, just like the other day. Was the penalty shootout not part of the game now? And someone replying to your posts "causes concern"? Oh my. A penalty shootout is not part of a game of football, nor was a coin toss when Celtic progressed past Benfica via one in 1970. A penalty shootout is a better way to break a tie than a coin toss and is more closely linked to football, but it is not part of a football match. I do worry about you. What I can glean about your lifestyle from your posting seems troubling. I'm just a big-hearted guy and don't like to see anyone care this much about Celtic or what I have to say. Finally, the poster you are defending so courageously did suggest Griffiths carries the team. This is occasionally the case, but not as much as most would have you believe. Football is a team game and I'd expect a competent striker to finish the chance Roberts created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a player scores a goal that ends up making it 1-1 or 2-1 and a team gain 1 or 3 points In a match they should be winning that surely means he's bailed them out no?

Dudu Dahan pal Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Yup Okay then. Do you think if Celtic didn't have Griffiths last season another player would've scored the amount of goals he did for them? His goals bailed them out from being very close to Aberdeen last season or even Aberdeen winning the league IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have absolutely zero idea, but every team has their striker, if you done that for every team you'd get the same result. Aberdeen for example would've been nowhere near Celtic throughout the year if they never had Rooneys goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not only are you a legal expert you're a psychologist and my lifestyle is "troubling". All because I had the audacity to disagree with you If you placed a bet on Leicester to beat Celtic in the friendly, would the bookies pay out on the bet? Genuine question, as I'm unsure on how the pointless diddy friendlies league set up they are competing for works. On the face of it I would expect that they would go with the result over 90 minutes?

If so, that would suggest The OP is correct. Notwithstanding that, if it went to extra time and Leicester scored again I'd wholeheartedly accept we were beaten, even though the bookies would have paid out on the draw. A penalty shootout isn't a game of football, it's a way of breaking a tie when a winner is required. I didn't actually realise there was a daft trophy at stake in that game until Leicester supporters were posting pictures of it, which presumably helped necessitate the penalties.

hellbhoy Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 There are a few on the thread who are absolutely gutted that Celtic managed to get a draw and effectively in the driving seat for the return fixture, especially with what they consider the worst Celtic squad ever assembled.
