Scottish Cup Final

Yes I watched it. And have also watched the clips that are all over Twitter and also you tube. If you choose to condone that behaviour then that's up to you.
 
Doesn't matter if it was 2 or 200 people fighting, it was wrong and took the limelight off a fantastic game, it's making the headlines for the wrong reasons and should not be excused.

There was almost the same amount of security staff, police and police horses on the park as there were Rangers fans.

I don't condone anything , but clips do get edited to enhance the story.

Nod nod wink wink , to that blind horse .:smirk:
 
Reports in the so predictable unionist Scottish press that Kenny Miller had been knocked out by a Hibs fan.

Kenny's wife tweets that he was not involved in any trouble and for folk not to believe the lies, in fact a couple of Hibs fans shook his hand, class act.

That's just plain daft since the tv coverage clearly showed him walking off the pitch at the end while the hibs fans ran on. Which paper was this?
 
Hibs deserved to win, Rangers were shocking defending.

There is clear photos/video evidence of both lee Wallace and wes foderingham being punched and pushed. This isn't over exuberance it's assault. I can understand the supporters running on the pitch, but assaulting players and staff is disgraceful.
 
Give over.......just sheer joy at winning.
Great game by the two Scottish Championship sides, how real football is meant to be played.

Brilliant refereeing BTW.
Great result for the Hibees from a Jambo

Digging up the pitch, wrecking the goalposts and fighting is sheer joy? I definitely did it wrong when Middlesbrough won promotion a couple of weeks back.

Is 100% correct.
 
Have seen a couple of clips, not from TV but from phones in the Rangers end near each corner. Looks to me like maybe a few dozen Hibs fans were trying to goad the Rangers fans (95% of the Hibs fans stayed at their end). The Rangers fans reacted, no more than a hundred or so and a number of fights broke out. More skirmishes than full on battles tbh. A couple of verses of some song which I couldn't really make out except for the odd reference to Fenian......par for the course I suppose. then the horses came on and order was restored. As usual the media have made far too much of it but that doesn't detract from the lack of crowd control. Could have been a lot worse so a proper investigation is certainly warranted.

Great win for Hibs. :)
 
What a great game. As a Englishman and totally neutral I throughly enjoyed this battle. No foul play or play acting. Just two teams battling for a trophy that means so much to both clubs. 5 goals and sheer entertainment. Hope the English version is just as good. Thanks Hibs and Rangers.

Scottish Football has a post-match disciplinary review procedure that seems to have eliminated/greatly some of scourges of the game that are still present in the English game! I'd love to see the FA put such a procedure in place!
 
As a neutral it was a good game for a final I agree, injury time winner is always good, can't be bothered with extra time /pens, 90 mins is enough for me. Fans got a bit excited, the few neds that did have a physical go at Rangers players need identified and get some jail time imo, the pitch invasion is understandable for a team with a big support that doesn't win much but for a few it turned into something more sinister. Some Rangers fans reacted but I would lay the blame for the bother firmly at Hibs fans this time. Media went a bit OTT imo, behaviour of a few idiots didn't detract from the memory of the game for me.

Who would you blame?

Think I already answered that!

Misread that, my apologies.
