Scottish Cup Final

What else is it? - Well he could've hit him or kicked him if he wanted to but he didn't he picked him up, that's why it was a bit strange, he is not fighting with the child nor does he pursue the child, I'm not condoning his actions, they're wrong, but people just seem to make things up, moving him out the way may well have been the man's intention.

The guy blatantly runs up and grabs the lad under has arms from behind whilst he had his back to him. This guy of all the fans fighting on the park is the guy I'd love to see hung up. Shocking behaviour.
 
Imagine if Scotland qualified for the Euros and all these Scottish fitba thugs were heading to France :cool:

I reckon there will have been a few folk pulled into offices on Monday asked to explain their actions/photos from the match. Some sickening scenes and as for the "child catcher" I can't think of any suitable excuse having watched the footage a few times. :confused:

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.

Arguing with a Gers fan is like playing chess with a pigeon, they'll knock the pieces over, **** on the board and strut around like they won
 
Who knows why the guy picked up the young lad, I agree it was pretty strange, if he had wanted to hit him though he could, have but he never. The Rangers guy has come onto the pitch looking for bother do you think he's changed his mind halfway across the pitch and decided to abduct a kid on to in front of 40000 witnesses?
Maybe he was trying to get the kid out of the way, where's the boy's father???
Theres the young lad on the right of that photo, looks like he's been down the Rangers end, been caught between the 2 sets of fans and been trying to get back to the hibs end, when the 4 hibs yobs were battering the guy on the ground, he's got a fright and started backing away from the fight back towards the rangers fans Just right before the Rangers guy lifted him up


Desperate attempt to shift blame by trying to claim he was "abducting" him

I dont remember what songs were sung at manchester, i was too busy watching the game. Ra polis battering fans leaving the stadium doesnt bother u? But signing does!! Might have to plod over some of ure previous postings "jacko".

Don't remember songs, understandable given the result.

Regards the police - funny how Rangers are always wronged. I've been in Spain with Celtic where the police are regarded as being heavy handed and baton happy yet never experienced any issues. Go looking for trouble and associate with trouble then you can't complain about the consequences. However anyone with a decent amount of common sense can extract themselves from a situation they're not comfortable with.

Going back to what I said earlier about the SPL being a less poisonous place the last few seasons without THE Rangers I was at the Football in Five Images event with Stuart Cosgrove and Graham Spiers last week (actually very good and entertaining) and even Spiers picked up on this and he believes the SPL will be a more hostile environment next season.

So u never experienced it when in spain, well i did experiance it in manchester. Just to clarify are u saying i went to manchester looking for trouble? As ive said earlier real fans of football were in the stadium. The bit about common sense uve no idea. The fans in the stadium were corralled back to city centre by a massive corridor of boys in blue wae there batman outfits on with batons. There was no chance of getting out of it. I was shaking in fear awaiting the some jumped up polis taking a swing , which i saw happening numerous times.
I will say god help scotland next season as it will be a more hostile environment, which noone wants. Well maybe the polis do

Rotherhams highest attendance of 2016 was just over 11,000.
Hardly 'Big League' stuff.

Nobody said 'Big League' just bigger than the Scottish First Division, Bournemouth have an average of just over 11,00 and it would be the 4th highest in the Scottish Prem last season

I was unaware the attendance was a key factor in the level of football being played

Moving from Hibs in the Scottish First Division to Rotherham in the Championship is a step forward in his career and a step up in level - he obviously thinks so as well hence he has made the move.
 
I really hate the way these threads descend into arguments about whether Scottish football is better than English football. It isn't, we know it, let it go.

Nothing Stubbs could do with hibs would surpass what he did this season so it's only natural he should move. Chances are he'll be the latest manager to be semi-successful in Scotland and then fall off the radar down south.

:thup:

Try living down here, painful at times! :rofl:

As Val said, smaller club in a better league. Tough gig in the Championship aswell, such a competitive league.
