Closing in on that 100 goals. Very few have done that in our history. I guess he will be the first pish player to do it...
Explain Closing in on that 100 goals.
This part means Leigh scored his 98th goal for us yesterday, thus he is very close to reaching 100. 99 comes next. And then 100.
Very few have done that in our history.
A limited number of players in Celtic's 130 year history have managed to score 100 goals. A list has been provided above of the names.

Many posters on here do not like Leigh as a man and/or think he is of low footballing quality, not good enough to play for Celtic and should be sold to the first bidder. Ergo, in their eyes, he will be the first player of such limited ability to score 100 goals for the club.

You being one of the ultimate fan boys take any criticism of him way too personally and conflate it with folk saying he is mince. Even his biggest detractors don’t say that.
Putting it in bold makes you look even more stupid.

Apologies for praising a guy who plays for Celtic. A striker who delivers the goods in this age of Balde, Bangura and Brozek… What was I thinking.

And with good reason.
I don’t think anyone has ever said he’s pish. As usual, you’re talking complete shampooe.
You’ve got your head so far up Griffiths’s arse you can’t help acting like a big wean any time someone doesn’t think he’s as super-duper as you do.

Far too many folk love his banter and cheeky chappy image, leading them to believe Griffiths is a far better player than he actually is.

Edouard isn't better than Griffiths. There is no evidence for that whatsoever. There's hope, raw materials but the instinct isn't there for Eduoard in front of goals. He very well may end up an excellent forward player but the killer instinct isn't there. He misses far too many chances and before the avalanche starts of pro-eddie brigade. I like him as a player.
Edit - We're incredibly lucky to have Griffiths as a player.

Defending Griffiths is one thing, ignoring Hooper and Dembele to try and make a point is laughable.

Well, I guess thats me politely saying you're talkin pish.
Ok - ditto I never actually stated an opinion though. Dembele is the only striker ever quoted with a big move, how does that correlate with idea that there is a better one at the same club?

People would question his profesionalism for getting involved in nonsense like that.

I would actually rather LG didn't score then we wouldn't have this tiresome debate every time he does score/plays well/waves a tricolour/ties a scarf to a post.
Honest to eff it's the same folk every time.
Just appreciate a good footballer FFS.

Folk do appreciate him mostly I think.
This aw started cos one guy (who seems to have a mad obsession with Griffiths) suggested that other folk think he's pish - which no one does.
