Scottish Cup Final

Does anyone ever stop to think that when a substantial amount of a club's fans take delight in singing that they're "up to the knees in Fenian blood, surrender or you'll die", might just make people just a wee bit angry?

This is what everyone keeps trying to twist it back to. Rangers fans sang a naughty song. While trying to confidently look past hibs fans attacking players!!!!
Here's mobile phone footage from the Rangers end, this is "exuberance" this is celebrating a win, sorry but this is goading and inciting a riot! After losing a final not many sets of fans wouldn't have reacted to this.

There s a 7 year old kid there trying to drag his father away and the father forcing him to bless himself in front of Rangers fans. What a poor excuse for a father.
 
Long Suffering Hibs fan here :D

I've missed 4 games all season, I went to the cup replay in Inverness midweek 2 days after we had lost the League Cup Final in the last minute to RC.I ran a bus to Hampden on Saturday too. I love my club.

Saturday was easily the greatest day of my life ( not including kids/wedding etc)A terrific game of football, conducted in a great way by both teams throughout the game- lots of players in each team support the opposition an get on well.

A few observations:

I was on the pitch at full time. I've never been on a pitch post match, but winning The SC means something to Hibs I don't think any other fan can understand. I took a sod of grass but I stayed well beside the South Stand where my seat was. There was no malice in the action of 95+% of those folk on the pitch.

No football player should be assaulted by a football fan. The Sevco goalie was pushed- not very hard- by an idiot who should be banned. Lee Wallace (Hibby) seemed to be involved with a daftie too, I hope he gets done also.

Did anyone mention the Rangers wearing official swinging a kick at Liam Henderson?

But the single worst thing that happened on Saturday hasn't been mentioned here. Did anyone see the two Rangers supporters attempting to take the small Hibs supporting child back into the Rangers end? Child abduction is *probably* more serious than some fighting?

Then songs about Allan Stubbs Fenian Bast*** or The Rangers supporters being up to their knees in fenian blood?

I only mention those two last things because the press release from Rangers verges on the comedy, the irony of it from a club that wrecked a city centre when a TV broke, who invaded our pitch on helicopter Sunday is incredible.

I'll take no lectures from anyone who supports that club on decorum or how to conduct yourselves.And it's been heartening to see across the board support from every other club in Scotland since Saturday.

The press release got one thing right: no one in Scotland likes you, you're a disease.

Anyway, you're defence is terrified, STOKESIES ON FIRE.

Is there any evidence at all of Rangers players being assaulted (other than someone giving the keeper a wee shove?). Funny how in this day and age there has been no photos of injuries or video of any player being struck. The minority of hibs fans who went to the rangers end to goad them were out of order, but most of the footage I have seen has shown Rangers fans battering the Hibees

- e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnPd1HlGYBY

No of course not - but pointing out that it's rubbish is - exactly the sort of entrenched gut reaction crap getting thrown about by both sets of fans since Saturday- and your post which starts off excellently degenerates into that by the end.

I'm delighted with your cup win BTW - I know a couple of your players reasonably well.

Pretty stupid admitting on a forum you invaded the pitch and either vandalised the pitch or took property (pitch) away which is theft. Muppet.
 
Loving the irony of THE Rangers fans crying and moaning about Hibs fans reaction after the game.

Same fans who trashed Manchester, caused riots and assaulted hundreds of people. However we can and should forget that as that was the OLD Rangers, not this new mob!

lol. As if I care what folk on here think about what I did. Call the cops, be a grass like Lee Wallace. Loser.
 
Rangers have their share of knuckledraggers as per probably every football club in the world. The vast majority just want to support their team, as per every other club as well.

They've had their share of terrible incidents in the past, the continuing sectarian singing is an embarrassment. They've been rightly punished in the past and no doubt will be again in the future.

Here's the thing. The revisionism about the events on Saturday is staggering and the complete whataboutery and deflection is appalling. We all saw what happened and, on this occasion, it wasn't the rangers fans responsible for the trouble. Some of them reacted and hopefully they will also be identified and held to account.

I have a soft spot for hibs and, living in Edinburgh these days, I go to more of their games than rangers ones but everyone trying to justify what happened and shift the blame needs to get real. I don't doubt that the majority of those on the pitch were just reacting in the moment and had no ill intent but it doesn't excuse the actions of the rest.

I haven't seen either of the specific incidents mentioned but I can certainly understand why Rangers staff might have been trying to protect their players from assault from hibs fans. The child thing is entirely different and very disturbing, if true, but probably not much to do with football. I very much hope those individuals can be traced.

The real fans of football were in the stadium, and had no idea of the 'riot' happening elsewhere. What was sickening was the numerous assaults i witnessed by ra polis that nite. The walk back was intimidating as ra polis were itching to get there batons out. It was like they were trolling for an argument

I have just seen footage of the young lad being pulled away, it's shocking to see.

As a neutral I would say this is a sensible take on events, thats' how I saw it. Re the big guy picking up the kid, no idea what he's doing....hostage taking? Doesnt appear to harm him but weird.:mad:
