Glassknees I think a certain Mr Fuller did that at the time. Get over it. Is Griff the only player to make a mistake resulting in a goal this season? Prince Ryan of Shawcross anyone against Bolton and Blackburn but the mistake excusers (quite rightly) were on here in force to exonerate him. Why is Griff not afforded the same leeway. Just a thought like. Ditto.

Good to see the total support for Andy Griffin - what a sickener for having to endure the moronic yob's abuse - the moron and his family should hang their heads in shame.

An absolute disgrace if true and fair play for him walking away.
Still prefer Wilko at right back though - despite the red mist descending from time to time.

At the risk of ending up sounding like Griff's bum boy....here goes.
He is a top pro, a Stokie at heart, having a great season until he was injured, is the captain of our team and would run through brick walls for his team mates.
Lets compare this to Ricci. He runs when he feels like it, he plays when he feels like it, He whinges continuously at both refs and his team mates, he is clearly given special treatment by the management, is a lazy so and so and hasn't done his job properly for something like 9 games (ie score a goal)
Don't get me wrong I love Ric (in a manly kind of way) with the best but it baffles me how Griff can still be getting the shit end of the stick from morons like this and Ric is apparantly blameless.
How does that work.
And in answer to you Winge. Is Davies better than him at right back? I would say not. So unless we get a prem quality right back in Griff and Wilko are our only decent alternatives.

Sick of hearing about shit like this. Griff is a Stoke player and it's about time he had the full backing of the supporters the same as everyone else. Sort it!

well done Griff.
I took my lad for a tour of the stadium last year, with a member of staff. The lads were just going training, but he stayed a had a chat with my 8 year old, had his photo took, a real gentleman.
Funny thing was Parkin came out and said 'do you want my autograph?' to which my son replied 'no thanks'.... Quality

Great if true but you can't help to think if he hadn't of gone to Derby he would have a bit more support.

He's a Stoke fan, and regardless of opinions on his ability or performances he deserves more respect than he is given by a number of people on this board.

WILKO WAS FUCKIN ACE YESTERDAY! That's stretching it IMHO. For me, Wilko is a decent centre-half playing at right-back. He doesn't have the quality on the ball to play full-back in the PL. Griff might be slow, but makes up for it with his brain and his distribution. I wish some players would show an ounce of the passion Wilko and Dicko do, but sadly at this level, it's no substitute for talent.

I still don't think he should be captain but for someone to do that is totally bang out of order and the idiot that abused him needs a slap. Well done Griff!

Lust4 The fatal flaws in your argument. You presumed he could READ this board. And do you think the brain dead **** could even switch a computer on, let alone use it? Never thought about that to be truthful m8....How can he even call himself a true fan if he prepared to do that.

Did anyone listen to Radio 5 Live after the Liverpool game? There was a female stoke fan who called in post match with the sole intention of slagging Griffin off! I couldn't believe what I was hearing!!
She started going on about the fact that Pulis has his favourites and continues to play the same people regardless of how good they are. Now there may be an inch of truth in that, but she singled out Griffin as her sole example! She said he was responsible for MOST of the goals we had condeded, he was way too old (28 or 29??) and was our worst player all season! She also said he was no way near a prem player.
For some reason it really pissed me off, after a cracking point against the league leaders all she could do was moan about someone that didn't even play!
I'll hold my hand up and say that at the start of the season I really doubted Griffin's ability in the premier league, but he hasn't half made me eat my words!! Talk about stepping up his game!! To me he looks like a different player compared to last season, his ability to read the game has improved ten-fold and I honestly think we miss him when he doesn't play (even though Wilko has been playing pretty well).
So if that moany old trout is reading this...then why don't you get some fookin specs and actually watch a game of football instead of moaning about injured players when you haven't got a clue!
