Winston Biscuit Leigh Griffiths being investigated by police for sending online messages to an underage girl. Celtic have booted him out of their training camp.


Trouble seems to follow him around, wouldn't surprise me if this was true at all.

As part of the same article it said that during the 3 months lockdown1 last year Celtic put on various training sessions every day for whoever could join in and Griffiths was the only player who never joined any of them, and then came back 1 stone overweight afterwards. really doesn't help himself at all.

Yeah, if I was Celtic, I'd seriously be considering terminating his contract. Think he has previous for going missing when he was at Wolves as well.

3 different rumours doing the rounds up here.

1) He's been texting underage girls

2) He's been done for drink driving.

3) Fraudulently impersonating a £45m footballer since 2017

<edit> latest I'm hearing, is that it was posted that he had been "rested for yesterday's friendly" and someone on Twitter joked that he should be "arrested for stealing a living" and its escalated from that.

Nothing anywhere except the rumour mill on Twitter so no idea what the story is, or if indeed there is one.

Pretty sick to start noncing rumours with no substance if that is the case.

Who would have thought a fanbase who just a couple of weeks ago were sending death threats to their potential manager could spread around such a vile rumour about someone?

Still absolutely nothing from any verifiable source. Nothing from Everton, not even a "Man from West Kirby helping police with enquiries" statement from the police.

It's looking more and more like Internet bullshit but I don't know.

He was trending on Twitter on Saturday night and a lot of those posts suggested it was him. His wife deleted her Instagram account too.

Oh dear. Doesn’t look good for him right now. All the papers running with it. Will only be a matter of days before the player is outed.

GMP have made a statement that a 31 year old man was arrested on Friday on suspicion of child sex offences.


Not looking good at all.
