Does anyone know what SFA rule or article they've done him under?

Bringing the game into disrepute

Disciplinary Rule 77: A recognised football body, club, official, Team Official, other member of Team Staff, player, match official or other person under the jurisdiction of the Scottish FA shall, at all times, act in the best interests of Association Football.


Found it. So surely if any player does anything remotely wrong away from football then the SFA can claim they weren't acting in the best interests of football.

What If the a footballer turned up at a political rally or was caught blootered on the streets or has a story printed about pumping prozzies. None of those are in football's interests.

Seems the SFA could deem anything non football related as not being in the interests of football.

Again, I'm not saying Griffiths isn't a phanny but it sounds to me as though players will now jhave to have completely squeeky clean images outside of football orvthey'll be fined.. which is ok for a relatively high earner like Griffiths, but potentially ruinous for a guy on aalot smaller wages.

Maybe they just accepted his apology...

It's two matches suspended for racism, it's a joke, jus move on even the thumb isn't daft enough to repeat it

You mean broony and stokes don't you

more relevant as to why his employer sees fit to give him a slap on the wrist and stand by him.

Employing a racist who has insulted refugees been caught on camera doing it.

Aye 4 weeks wages and see if you can score 20 + goals for us....

He did say sorry I hear though.

I think it's ok Duke. They hold up banners saying "Refugees Welcome" and trot out the old "founded by immigrants" line.

I think that's enough mitigation for them to continue to employ racists.

Give and take

The Sanctamonious Piish Factor on this thread is at a dangerous 5.8.

Are you gonna take it to another level?

No.

My work here is done.

Anyway I have had a sanctimony bypass operation.
