FORZA GRIFFO
I shall now quote from the Book Of Griff
Chapter 9 Verse 9
And on the third day His knee rose again to smite the wrongdoers. The Lord saw that it was good brought before His knee the sac of the Fat Controller crying " Go forth Griff and use thy Holy Knee to sac wack this man that vexes me so". And the sac was duly wacked and the Lord saw that it was good and the people in the Garden of Newy saw that it was good and the the Light of the Lord shone upon his knee.
Here endeth the lesson

GRIFFITHS HOPES TO CONTINUE PLAYING DESPITE ACL INJURY BLOW
Wellington Phoenix attacker Joel Griffiths's season is over after scans revealed he has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left leg.
The injury leaves question marks over Griffiths's playing future, but the 35-year-old hopes the news doesn't signal the end.
"It has been one of the worst years of my life, football-wise," Griffiths said.
"I hope I don't have to go out like this and if I have anything to do with it I won't.
"A lot of people have written me off in the past and I have proved them wrong.
"In the back of my mind this time they may be right but I will be doing everything possible to get back.
"I am a very determined person and when I want something I usually get it – just ask my wife!"
The striker will undergo an operation in the next four to six weeks once the swelling is reduced.
"I have absolutely loved it at the Phoenix where the culture is fantastic," Griffiths, who joined the club from Newcastle Jets, said.
"I was so down after the problems at Newcastle and what I found in Wellington was a breath of fresh air.
"I take my hat off to Ernie (Merrick) and Dura (Andrew Durante) for making the opportunity available.
"Those two put so much faith in me I am more upset at not being able to contribute for the rest of the season."
Griffiths also revealed that he had been offered a contract by the Phoenix for next season.
"The club put an offer in front of me and after discussing it with my wife I was going to sign another contract," he said.
"It (the club) is very special and I believe it has a great future."
Phoenix coach Merrick said he believed Griffiths had handled himself well after the devastating injury news.
"He was a great acquisition for our squad and it is a major blow for him," Merrick said.
"I have to say he is coping very well with what has happened and that is because he is an extremely positive person who fitted easily into our culture.
"Joel has always been fit and professional in the way he has looked after himself and I strongly believe he will come back from this and play in the A-League again."
Griffiths picked up the injury in last Sunday's 3-0 loss to Melbourne Victory in Wellington.
Really sad news for griff. Hope he gets a chance to finish on his terms rather than the injury.
He has to be realistic though, he turns 36 next season and it is obvious he is not as explosive as Griff of old..
not explosive?
I was going to call you a cünt but no vagina on earth would describe the Griff that way
Truth hurts to those with rose coloured glasses. Griff is still better than many, but not the player he was.Quote:

Certainly convinced he loves the club and had the best intentions for the club in his actions
Which question did I ask???Quote:

Gets interviewed by David Collins and gets asked whether he has got his super and all entitlements owed to the club.
Griff then says he wouldn't know how to check leaves it to his wife etc.
Then David goes on about Griff being in the finance game these days :rof:

JOEL Griffiths is not sure whether he will play in the A-League again, let alone make a fairytale return and complete his career at the Jets.
But the former Golden Boot winner and Jets all-time leading goalscorer has no doubts that his former club can be a force again.
"Absolutely, the Jets can be a success," Griffiths told the Herald from Wellington, where he is recovering after a knee reconstruction nine days ago.
"The next 12 months is the most important in the club's history. It won't be easy. Anyone who thinks it will has rocks in their head. They need to put a fine line through everything. No shortcuts.
"The most important thing is to bring in the right people."
Griffiths was one of five senior players sacked in January after they expressed concerns to Nathan Tinkler over the direction of the club under coach Phil Stubbins.
Griffiths signed a short-term deal with Wellington in February and was in talks to extend his stay before injuring his knee.
"Ernie Merrick has turned this club and city around," Griffiths said.
"That is the No.1 thing, getting the right coach and the right brand of football."

Griffiths remains bitterly aggrieved over his exit from the Jets.
"It was a couple of people making those decisions. Here we are today and they are gone.
"I feel sorry for the CEO, Mitchell Murphy.
"The talks I had with him, I think he is the right man for the job. Hopefully he can have the reins now and some autonomy."
In three spells in Newcastle, Griffiths scored 34 goals in 83 games. He won a title in 2008 and collected the Jonny Warren medal and golden boot.
"Newcastle people want a team they can connect with and one that represents them," he said.
"When I came back [in 2014] it felt as though the club had lost its way in the community. People that used to come to our games, when I came back they were disengaged.
"The club has to bring those people back, the loyal supporters who have lost a bit of faith."
Griffiths and wife Bianca own a home lending business at The Junction.
"I'll play for free at the Jets," he said. "When you go elsewhere it might be about the money, but when you play for the Jets it's not. I owe them more than they owe me."
Sign him up FFS
this should be the number one item on the agenda at these fan forum thingys
also, the first thing on the action list to come out of the meeting
the rest, ownership, name, colours, etc will work themselves out once The Griff is back on deck
**** yes. SIGN GRIFF!!!

What a total legend this bloke is.
That's the attitude we want to see from our players.
We dead set should build a Griff the Redeemer statue overlooking Newy to pay homage to the bloke
Bloke is the greatest player we have ever had bar none and who would ever forget him scoring the winning goal in the GF against the coast
Class Act
Wonder how many people will dispute these facts with lies about Griff :trolls:
Remember when Joel had that blow-up at training and swore at Muppet and some dill on twitter that goes by "@Zadslads" said ".....and this is why Joel was sacked! #Norespect". Implying that Joel was sacked because his had no respect to the coach.Quote:
