Black and White Tragic Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 ITN news at 10 headlines included "Scottish Cup final ends in violence" and shows Hibs fans in euphoria celebrating (no violence in clip at all). Knew that this would be made a meal of. On the other hand the next person that says "but they've waited 114 years for this..." is due a kick in the pie. Not one fan has waited 114 years unless they are older than 114. Not one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I'm sound mate, aye - hope you're likewise. I'd have liked a cup final win to ice the cake of a decent season - but we didn't deserve it. Aside from that, I'm dandy. You should post more often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetwiseHercules Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I'll always be grateful to Hibs for the laugh and entertainment they and their fans gave me today. Respect to Hibernian FC. Respect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldaft Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I cannot believe the Rangers statement praising their fans restraint. Obviously have not seen the footage.... Hibs fans exuberance turned a little naughty and when you get many thousands together this is always likely to happen. It was a cracking game of football and I am pleased Hibs managed to address over 100 years of hurt. Both clubs should be hammered though. Hibs for pitch invasion and goading Rangers fans and if there was any assault on Rangers players and officials. Rangers for sectarian singing (don't hold your breath), letting off smoke bombs and their fans entering the pitch and fighting. Should be banned from playing in cup next season. Both teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sevco should be banned for 5 seasons as they and their predecessor club have form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Pitch invasion could easily have been avoided by having 500 hearts fans with baseball bats acting as stewards at the Hibs end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) Right, I've lots of pages to wade through. What appears to have been the reality though? I initially saw the pitch invasion as a bit regrettable, but part of the spectacle and reflective of the spontaneous joy that we love football for being capable of evoking. If players got assaulted though, it alters the nature of things. I'm torn between not wanting this triumph to be hijacked and corrupted by those in the media whose noses were put out of joint by the result; and not wanting to react in a way I know would be totally different if the roles of the sides here had been reversed. What's the consensus? What really went on at the end? Edited May 21, 2016 by Monkey Tennis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) However this type of pitch invasion occurs on numerous occasions every year up and down the country, with the violence that followed today's. I don't think that's true. Most of the time when you see a pitch invasion it's a home support running onto the pitch while the away fans are tucked away and surrounded by police and stewards. There were 25,000 in the Rangers end, it's not really the same. I think you could have replaced the Rangers fans with supporters of any other club and you would have had the same reaction. ETA: When I say the same reaction, I mean a running on the pitch and fighting. Most other people probably wouldn't start singing about being up to their knees in catholic blood.

Jan Vojáček Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 The guy in the red jacket got knocked out @19secs That's interesting, because I was looking for him, saw this video: https://twitter.com/StevenRitchie1/status/734125502370353152 Thought that 'Foderingham' in this looked like was wearing trousers, and certainly went down a lot easier than you'd expect for a big 'keeper. Can't be sure, but is the guy in the red, the guy some fans are claiming to be Foderingham? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StreetwiseHercules Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 We need to be careful here. Sevco have form not only for violence but for lies. It's one of their defining characteristics. Is there ANY evidence so far of Sevco players or officials being assaulted? If not, we should act accordingly and ignore these claims. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 That Rangers statement beggars belief. You'd think the Hibs fans had invaded the stand and attacked the innocent fans while they sat nicely in their seats That's where they were heading, luckily the hibs fans never managed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
