Just heard it being read out - condemning Hibs supporters for threatening their players and fans. They also praised their own fans for showing restraint.

Really? Singing Billy Boys at the end is showing restraint? It's now OK to sing that is it?

No doubt Hibs will be punished but I wonder if they get off scot free.

Two things came to mind as soon as I heard that

1 - They were trying to distract their supporters from the fact that they lost.

2 - No mention was made of their own supporters running onto the pitch to confront celebrating Hibs fans.

Petrie has already made clear that we will accept our punishment for what happened, so it's now up to the authorities to ensure that Sevco do the same. And if they don't, we have to fight it.

Other than the Sevco statement, is there any evidence that their staff and/or players were assaulted?

I don't doubt that one or two idiots will have yelled something derogatory at them, but that doesn't mean that Sevco can play the victim card here.

Real pity IF HIbs fans were involved in any assaults - on a special day like this, this sort of behaviour does the club no good .... no excuses. Think The Rangers should have appeared afterwards for their medals though after everything had been cleared up .... BTW the HIBS TV team were subject to some hefty language insults from Rangers fans in the vicinity AND they were assaulted too by all accounts ...

Waaa! Waaa! But I don't Want to lose! There was only one set of fans that didn't belong on the pitch, and that was the the Rangers fans. Look at the end of a rugby international. They don't get branded as thugs, they're just celebrating. Same with us. It was a celebration. Not a hint of trouble with the police line. Ok, we wrecked a £500 set of goals, and probably did another £500 of damage to the pitch. Boo f'n hoo.

The absolute reality is that it's not going to matter how you try to spin this or ignore it or downplay it among yourselves. There will be no agreement from anyone else that this was anything but shocking and dangerous behaviour from not a handful of people but thousands and already the actual result is a side issue with the English media running with labels like "feral" with barely a word on the actual result.There is no point in trying to talk around it by going on about how somebody else did something else at some other time. It wont take any focus off it. And does anyone seriously imagine that only Rangers would have issued such a statement after such an event? Any club would have and it's like the SFA will too.It's all this final is going to be remembered for just like the 1980 final and since views on this kind of thing are infinitely more stern than they were in 1980 the chances are there will be severe repercussions.

Any Hibs fan who threw a punch or provoked opposing fans from a pitch they weren't supposed to be on should get the full force of the law.

But let's not kid ourselves here. That 'pitch invasion' was an outpouring of positive feeling. It wasn't a dash across the green to 'get at the The Rangers' fans, it wasn't a ruck with the police, it wasn't a 'running battle'. It was something that was an emotional outpouring.

So, with the exception of the people I mentioned in my first line. I. Just. Don't. Care. We've had finals lost to teams who cheated kids in state education, hospitals and the serving men and women because they cheated the taxes. We've had vomit, coins and other things thrown from Ibrox upper levels. We've had the media ripping into us more than the tax cheats.

So, for all those thousands who 'invaded the pitch' just to party? I'm not going to apologise for that as a Hibs fan.

And if the media don't like it? Opposing fans? The Rangers?

I couldn't give a monkeys.

Sums up the woeful reporting too


Hibs fans surged onto the pitch on the final whistle to celebrate as their team won the Cup for the first time in 114 years.
But the party mood soon turned nasty as Rangers supporters flooded onto the Hampden turf to confront them



But the scenes of celebration were utterly shameful.
How dare we celebrate.

The daftie rangers fans didn't have any reason to go onto the pitch other than to confront the Hibs support. The Hibs supporters were just letting the emotion of the win pour out, it was all good natured - that is until confronted by ork hoards.

Sour grapes, I'm afraid. It was an outpouring of positive emotion. Even the Sun reports the disgraceful attacks on staff as occurring after minority of your own fans invaded the pitch. To celebrate or confront Hibs' fans? So let's be fair before disproportionate blame is cast. There were probably as many 'feral' fans on the pitch from your support with negative intentions as with Hibs supporters. The vast majority were OTT but weren't malicious.

A separate issue, you've mentioned the bile that your supporters (or ours) as being a negative. I take it you will condemn the sectarian chants aimed at Stubbs, the Billy Boys song, etc or is that emotional outpouring a bit taboo, and something we don't condemn as disgraceful?

Because if you can't give good grace to the historic result and appreciate that the majority who celebrated were well intentioned and full of youthful exuberance, then your initial posting on here comes across as a bit patronising and your above comment suggests you felt entitled to win this and are deflecting from the way the sense of entitlement affects the behaviour of your own supporters who never have to answer for their own behaviour.

Sorry but the fact that they have a history of bad fan behaviour can't be used as an excuse for our fans 'misbehaving'.

I admit I don't know everything about what happened and the Rangers' statement smacks of overreaction but why on earth did our fans go on the pitch? Natural exuberance is one thing but we all know by now that the authorities can come down like a ton of bricks on any clubs whose fans do things like invading the pitch.

Good God, I went to my first SC final aged 17 in 1972 (we lost 6-1, I was totally devastated) and never for one moment expected it would be 44 years from then until I witnessed Hibs winning the Cup. This day should be on of unbridled joy.

But, today for me was totally ruined by all those people on the pitch. I actually couldn't believe that Hibs fans could do that.

I just wonder if Rangers are going to try something really underhand like asking for a replay (surely not, the Cup has been awarded?) or even taking our European place?

You can bet that the SFA establishment will be looking for some way for Hibs to pay dearly for this.

You can bet that the SFA establishment will be looking for some way for Hibs to pay dearly for this.

To my mind there is no excuse for those fans who went three quarters of the way up the pitch. Hampden has a large area behind the goal too. What were they thinking about?

I fear that at least £100k will go from the player budget next year.

Hey first post here,

This is just a massive distraction tactics by the Glasgow media to cover up their bias towards Rangers and to take away from Hibernian's biggest achievement in years.

One thing the Glasgow media/clubs always make occasions about themselves as lord forbid anyone else in Scotland takes the attention (and money) away from them.

One thing i noticed, as soon as the final whistle blew, they were using social media to push this "thuggish" narrative (my cousin being one of the culprits) and really try to drive the fact that it wasn't over exuberance but "feral Hibs fans". Note no one mentions the flares after the first Rangers goal or the sectarian singing throughout the game.

If I was LD or RP I'd would call Ranger's bluff and I'd be asking for video evidence, photos of the injuries sustained by the Rangers team/staff and as a goodwill gesture offer to pay for any medical bills/expenses.

Sorry but the fact that they have a history of bad fan behaviour can't be used as an excuse for our fans 'misbehaving'.

I admit I don't know everything about what happened and the Rangers' statement smacks of overreaction but why on earth did our fans go on the pitch? Natural exuberance is one thing but we all know by now that the authorities can come down like a ton of bricks on any clubs whose fans do things like invading the pitch.

Good God, I went to my first SC final aged 17 in 1972 (we lost 6-1, I was totally devastated) and never for one moment expected it would be 44 years from then until I witnessed Hibs winning the Cup. This day should be on of unbridled joy.

But, today for me was totally ruined by all those people on the pitch. I actually couldn't believe that Hibs fans could do that.

no need to say sorry, i do agree with most of what you say, i've said myself the last few occasions when a hibs fan/fans have been on the pitch, the pitch is for the footballers only, a heck of a lot of emotions run high with us hibs fans regarding THAT cup and i wasn't surprised at all to see the fans on the pitch, unfortunately some went too far and decided to go over to the sevco end and goad them,(something for they ones to think about) we WILL get fined, along with sevco also getting fined for at least two big flares and their fans also being on the pitch(unfortunately no action will be taken against the vile bigoted sectarian songs) there won't be ANY replay and that's a fact, especially as the invasion was after the match finished

Thanks, c&r1875, for your comments.

Might be a generational thing but football went through a really horrendous period with thugs/casuals and all that and when pitch invasions were quite common and inevitably linked with violence and bad behaviour.

Football was nowhere near the glamourous, TV-friendly, fan-friendly, family-friendly sport it now is.

Nowadays, it is all about image. Those photos can be used to give all kinds of messages.

I just watched Big Rod getting quizzed by weegie press regarding the end of game events.

They tried to get him to say that the scenes were disgraceful and he the mnost he would say that the situation was unacceptable if indeed Rangers players were attacked.

He said however that they should be reporting the great game instead of making a meal out of a situation which was well policed.


Nobody of course mentions the Rangers fans on the pitch or as they say , does it not take 2 to tango.


Half of Glasgow is bleeding. The half that cheated for years, for how many years , who can say and still promotes and accepts bigots as a minority of their fan base.

One of the pictures posted is an old Rangers fan throwing a punch at a 20 year old Hibs fan.

Utterly pathetic and this from the club who's supporters invented pitch invasions back in the 50's and 60's. I remember them being presented with the Cup Winners Cup in the changing room in 1972 because their fans were rioting on the pitch. The significant factor is that when Glasgow Rangers fans were invading pitches on a regular basis in the old days, it was all about violence and aggression. Hibs fans today were only interested in celebrating. Yes of course no mention either of the non stop bigoted songs and chants throughout the game either.

The absolute reality is that it's not going to matter how you try to spin this or ignore it or downplay it among yourselves. There will be no agreement from anyone else that this was anything but shocking and dangerous behaviour from not a handful of people but thousands and already the actual result is a side issue with the English media running with labels like "feral" with barely a word on the actual result.There is no point in trying to talk around it by going on about how somebody else did something else at some other time. It wont take any focus off it. And does anyone seriously imagine that only Rangers would have issued such a statement after such an event? Any club would have and it's like the SFA will too.It's all this final is going to be remembered for just like the 1980 final and since views on this kind of thing are infinitely more stern than they were in 1980 the chances are there will be severe repercussions.

actually at rugby international games the winning teams fans often run onto the pitch at the end with th edifference that the opposition supporters accept it because it's a sporting event and they can
take defeat. Everyone who has gone to Glasgow to see a Hibs game knows the treatment dished out to anything Hibs . Sure you can't condone what happened because of the end result, but if you look at the mix
of folk running onto the pitch it was all ages and families and it was for a party nothing more. Goading happens all the time at football games. Players do it and fans do it.

Digging up the pitch and breaking the goals are a result old clips from Lisbon and wembly which at the time were acceptable . The pich invasion today cannot be compared with the 1980 Scottish cup final which was a battle between 2 sets of fans. Let's not talk about Rangers in 1972 and later in Manchester. That never happened !

Anyway, we won but there will be fall out in the next days.

craigmcfarlane
21-05-2016, 10:10 PM
If there has been injuries to Rangers players, the first thing they should have done was went straight to the police in the ground and given statements, as since there are no real footage so far of the attackers.

Secondly the backroom medical staff should have taken photos of all the injuries that happened so that they have evidence of the crime that allegedly happened as if they want to then claim some sort of reparation.

Now I am not trying to say that there was no contact between Hibs fan and Rangers fans/players but it's getting hysterical.

We live in a world where people see what they want to see and exaggerate situation for their own personal gain and agenda, as it detracts the attention of a very mediocre Rangers side.

I've read tweets about the "Hampden brawl", saying players were "kicked in the head", "knocked out cold" & "Rock bottomed"

What we should be asking/trying to find out is what is Rangers & the press angle here? what do they want to achieve with all this.

Also look at the players that have alleged to have been "attacked", all have histories with hibs (Miller ex hibs, Wallace ex hearts, Holt ex hearts, Halliday who is Scott Allan's best friend) all got logical connections to write a story about why hibs fans would have grievances with. It's almost too perfect a story.

If you have an issue with the press and their stories, don't give them any click bait or buy their papers, starve the beast.

Now they are expecting you to buy the papers tomorrow to get the the fancy 6 page pullout of the winners, instead you'll get the no1 most wanted list of Hibs fans or a story about a player on celebrating a bit too much tonight (or that might be Monday's paper)

If i was working for Hibs I'd tell all players to stay of social media as there will be "journalists" going through their accounts to find out any dirt on them.

They want to take this moment that we have waited for 114 years off us and make it about themselves.

I'm not condoning opposition players being attacked, even a shove is too much. However it's being blown out of all proportion unless there is more evidence I'm yet to see.

You can clearly see that the player is nearly knocked to the ground and in the picture you can see the same player just about to be attacked.

In one of the greatest moments in our history, its marred by some yobs who claim to be fans and anything that comes our way needs to be accepted.

You must have enhanced vision then cause you can see nothing. I am starting to believe it is all made up, you can see Weir and Wallace coming off at the end and both look absolutely fine (apart from their torn faces)

Just posted this on fb, hopefully it doesnt come back to bite me on the arse ;)

Okay, so let's address this crap right now.

1) Congratulations to The Rangers and Scottish media for the quality distraction tactics in order to deflect away from rangers being the first team to lose a Scottish Cup final to Hibs in over 100 years

2) Rangers fans came on the pitch at fulltime too...why? To cause trouble.

3) I haven't seen one picture of a Rangers player being assaulted, yet that's what is being reported.

4) The pitch invasion was more like a music festival than a riot. It was a celebration..it's not like we tore up a city because we were losing (Manchester).

Interesting that the Police Scotland statement on the pitch invasion differs considerably from the Rangers statement.There is no mention of assaults on the rangers players but does mention clashes between the fans.

I was at Hampden for the notorious 1980 final. What happened today was nothing like that. An outburst of exuberance after years of pain and taunts from the rest of Scottish fitba. Iqf evidence does emerge of actual assaults them let other responsible take their punishment but I won't be condemning the vast majority who ran on to the field today. If I had been 20 years younger I would probably have ran on myself.

We just won the Scottish Cup! YES, THE SCOTTISH F*****G CUP.

Sorry but the fact that they have a history of bad fan behaviour can't be used as an excuse for our fans 'misbehaving'.

I admit I don't know everything about what happened and the Rangers' statement smacks of overreaction but why on earth did our fans go on the pitch? Natural exuberance is one thing but we all know by now that the authorities can come down like a ton of bricks on any clubs whose fans do things like invading the pitch.

Good God, I went to my first SC final aged 17 in 1972 (we lost 6-1, I was totally devastated) and never for one moment expected it would be 44 years from then until I witnessed Hibs winning the Cup. This day should be on of unbridled joy.

But, today for me was totally ruined by all those people on the pitch. I actually couldn't believe that Hibs fans could do that.

I just wonder if Rangers are going to try something really underhand like asking for a replay (surely not, the Cup has been awarded?) or even taking our European place?

You can bet that the SFA establishment will be looking for some way for Hibs to pay dearly for this.

Absolutely, every single thing that was broken in the stadium we will be fined for - and rightly so in my opinion. Fans didn't need to go on the pitch and wreck the pitch and bar.

Already heard from my friend who works for the SFA that we will be fined for the damage don to the advertising system as well, which would only be fair if there's footage of our fans breaking it.

Thing is, at the end of the day - it happened, emotions ran high, we'll take the fine with dignity, and pay the £50k or £500k, however much it is.

It would be classless to try and contest any of the fines in my opinion.

I'll absolutely guarantee you here and now that won't happen.

It was an SFA event which was 'secured' by G4S, supported by Police Scotland.

Legally I would happily defend and argue, on behalf of Hibs, that whilst the pitch incursions were regrettable, neither Hibs or The Rangers should be penalised - to vandalise or create malicious mischief is a criminal offence and they should be investigated accordingly and with that in mind - the club didn't vandalise anything, individuals did. Stop fuelling absolute nonsense !

Yes, but surely you're not expecting the SFA to find and charge the individuals when there was 10k people on the pitch? Perhaps there's something on the ticket that covers them. If all that fails, it's just easy for them to pin all blame on Hibs as it was our supporters.

It's in no way directed at you but be objective - yes, regrettable, but wait for the actual evidence - only then can you provide comment.

For example, James Tavernier was super quick to post pictures of an injury after a game on Twitter ! I'm still waiting on these 6 players doing likewise and showing proof they were assaulted - after all they're quick to take to social media to show an injury, surely to goodness they'd be banging out pics now ?

As for Jim Traynor and his post match statement - oh dear oh dear oh dear !

The Rangers had flares ! The Rangers sang banned songs ! The Rangers fans also entered field of play and fought !

That is why GH I'm 100% sure both clubs, whilst possibly sanctioned financially, won't be hauled over the coals.

The absolute reality is that it's not going to matter how you try to spin this or ignore it or downplay it among yourselves. There will be no agreement from anyone else that this was anything but shocking and dangerous behaviour from not a handful of people but thousands and already the actual result is a side issue with the English media running with labels like "feral" with barely a word on the actual result.There is no point in trying to talk around it by going on about how somebody else did something else at some other time. It wont take any focus off it. And does anyone seriously imagine that only Rangers would have issued such a statement after such an event? Any club would have and it's like the SFA will too.It's all this final is going to be remembered for just like the 1980 final and since views on this kind of thing are infinitely more stern than they were in 1980 the chances are there will be severe repercussions.

Stick it up yer ****in' arse pal ... the Hibs fans ran on the pitch out of sheer joy ... what the **** were fans of Sevco doing coming onto the pitch apart from to look for a fight. If a few idiots out of thousands got out of hand then they will be punished, but don't lets start making more out of this than it was ... any similarity to 1980 is in your own mind and nothing more ... so basically GTF and suck it up that we won the cup.

There was no need whatsoever for anyone to go on the pitch and I hope the utter morons that went up to the Rangers players/staff and tried to provoke their fans get caught and dealt with appropriately-unfortunately it looks as if it was a sizable minority. It certainly took the shine off the day for me. I can understand it to a degree given the season and the 114 years but am left exasperated by it.

There have been pitch invasions down south yet it's not blown out of proportion by the English media!!

And as for you comment about Der Hun and the statement..... They were doing everything to try and take away the pain. So we shouldn't have went on the pitch..... So what 114 years of hurt and the manner in which we won it.

As for 1980 flight difference for me as there were running battles all over the pitch between hundred of fans. 99.5 percent of the Hibs fans celebrated. Der Huns fans could have stood or walked away but no they chose to invade the pitch also!!!!

As for dangerous...... Nah was anyone hurt.... Not that I'm aware of.

The club will get fined and forced to pay for any damage!! Simple as that!!

Those who stupidly got involved with the most vile and bigoted supporters in the land, expect a knock at the door.

As for those Players who are alleged to have been assaulted.... Go to police file a report and let's see what happens. Loads of TV footage, CCTV and the likes.

Final Score 2-3 to the Hibs!!

I thought the police should have deployed like they normally do. I was disappointed there was no lap of honour. When you score a goal 2 minutes into injury time after 114 years there's a lot of emotion at that point. Credit to the police who opened the gates to let fans on stopping any chance of crushing.

The damage is done. We will have the book thrown at us and they will have nothing.

Regan has already been judge, jury and executioner. No mention of their fans and that won't change. Their players don't need to report or prove assaults cause they've got the effect they wanted already, their fans are united against us rather than angry at the result. Doesn't matter what the police investigation finds, it will be swept under the carpet by the media, there's no way will they report it.

Unfortunately, Rangers have a team of spin doctors and a domestic media desperate not to be banned from Ibrox for reporting against them.

Kenny shook loads of fans hands and walked off the pitch unscathed as did Lee Wallace. Now I'm just saying this but if I had been assaulted I would be walking off the pitch I would be sprinting!

Daily Rangers is really taking the pee today!

What an embarrassment of a paper! Completely slating Hibs....though it's got some Rangers fan trying to grab someone half his age and size.

Sooner The Rangers,and The Daily Record cease to exist...will not be a day soon enough!

Guardian is hilarious too. 50% of the article talking about "disgraceful behaviour".

Written, of course, by the fat bitter Jambo buffoon Ewan Murray.

Who cares? They hated us before so unlikely we would get decent coverage anyway.

couldn't agree more, the amount of mayhem they have reeked over the years up and down the country ( Manchester City centre afew seasons back in a Euro game for instance ), and they've got the cheek to claim the moral high ground, what a joke.
How about the sectarian balladry and flares yesterday, will anything be done about that I'm guessing a big fat nothing. !!
Much reasoned reflection by Stuart Cosgrove on the radio last night on the way back. Now, if he would just get rid of that slavering idiot Tam Cowan, he might just have a show..

I'll absolutely guarantee you here and now that won't happen.

It was an SFA event which was 'secured' by G4S, supported by Police Scotland.

Legally I would happily defend and argue, on behalf of Hibs, that whilst the pitch incursions were regrettable, neither Hibs or The Rangers should be penalised - to vandalise or create malicious mischief is a criminal offence and they should be investigated accordingly and with that in mind - the club didn't vandalise anything, individuals did. Stop fuelling absolute nonsense !
Said this after the match how can Hibs be held accountable for the lack of policing and stewarding. It was an SFA event so they and any individuals concerned will need to carry the can for the damage
..not Hibs

Well if nothing else I imagine Alan Stubbs has indeed cheered up as per their advice in song when they were winning. I'm not sure they accurately described Alans views on Irish Republicanism but then they seem a bit confused about the actual meaning of that word. GIRFUY.

The SFA and media have called this totally wrong. They have built it up into something that it just isn't. To compare it to 1980 is laughable.

Petrie got it spot on. Over exuberance on our part, nothing more.

Folk sayng that that this game will be remembered for the pitch invasion just don't understand football.

Any neutrals watching this would have seen amazing scenes of celebration. When this all dies down Wullie Miller and all the others commenting about this will realise just how OTT they went with their views.

It hasn't tainted the cup win one bit. Yesterday was perfect in every way possible. Wouldn't change a thing.

Different scale of event but remind me what sanctions were applied to the journalists who misrepresented the Hillsborough disaster? Where they even criticised at the recent enquiry.

They're always willing to stick the knife into working class people. Never seen any such reporting or reaction to a rugby pitch invasion.

You are absolutely right.

Thankfully no serious consequences yesterday, but we should pursue THE TRUTH.

Don't let them get away with their lies.

Eh? Rangers Fans run on the pitch and assault celebrating Hibs Supporters and their club condemn the Hibs Support?


The media, as expected, is already following the party line. There are photos in the DR and The Scotsman that clearly show Rangers Fans on the pitch assaulting Hibs Fans but the articles talk only of the disgraceful behaviour of the Hibs Support.


Anyone involved in criminal behaviour should be punished. That includes the people who broke the goalposts and, if it is proven, anybody that actually DID assault players and staff.

However, I already sense that the media and authorities have already tried and convicted the Hibs Support alone and are ready to totally ignore the actions of the rioting Rangers Fans, as per the The Rangers party line.


Suck it up Huns, you and your neanderthal Fans lost!!!

I would like to know what sanctions will be applied to that despicable **** Traynor if he is found to have been lying.

Why now? He's been speaking oot his erse and lying for years. The only thing that happened to him was that he was given a job at The Rangers. He's a welt.

Aye what deplorable behaviour, we are so sorry to upset the apple cart and beat the establishment by WINNING THE SCOTTISH CUP. Sevco 2012 await their major first national silverware.

I had to sit through every single one of them to a man screaming about Alan Stubbs being a "Fat F*nian ********", Flares being set off and Sevco fans running onto the pitch to fight jubilant Hibs fans.

The authorities continually turn a blind eye to all of our trips to Ibrox where we are spat on, goaded and subjected to sectarian bile. Let them Seethe.

WE WON. GET OVER IT, YOU ARE LOSERS.

Firstly, the thread title: 'Ridiculous Rangers Statement'. Is there any other kind of Rangers statement?

Secondly, we were there yesterday with my 12 year old daughter and my boy who is 9. I did not enjoy having to alternatively try to dismiss and then explain away to my children what the meaning was of the sectarian bile that was being chanted by very significant numbers of The Rangers support.

Nor did I enjoy having to try to calm them when flares were let off - they thought the stadium might be on fire.

And finally I didn't enjoy having to try to protect them from some of the projectiles being thrown down on to Hibs fans by 'corporate' The Rangers fans above us in the North stand.

So whatever investigation is taking place needs to look at ALL aspects of yesterday's non-footballing events on both sides.

Mind how a poster on here had something thrown at their bairn and that lot tried to suggest it was Hibs fans trying to attack a Rangers bus? Always the victim. Always. Never saw Trainor speaking out about their clubs shock at their fans actions on that one.

Two things came to mind as soon as I heard that

1 - They were trying to distract their supporters from the fact that they lost.

2 - No mention was made of their own supporters running onto the pitch to confront celebrating Hibs fans.

Petrie has already made clear that we will accept our punishment for what happened, so it's now up to the authorities to ensure that Sevco do the same. And if they don't, we have to fight it.

This. Classic diversionary pish.

Social media seems to be the battleground now. Pro Sevco tweets are regurgitating the same half dozen (if that) photos showing some arse apparently having a pop at Lee Wallace. Should be easily identified as the pictures show him quite clearly. I am sure the incident will be discussed with him sooner or later. Plenty photo's showing Newco supporters violence against Hibs fans and these need to be gotten out there.

Maybe off topic but I would guess that if you give any professional footballer the option not to pick up what is essentially a losers medal and to not have to walk past the cup and see the other teams' colours attached, they would take that and get showered and shifted and away home.

To be fair to Sevco, they did include a bit in their smear campaign thanking their own fans for showing restraint.

It could have been a lot worse if their fans hadn't shown such restraint and behaved like it was Hampden 1980 or Manchester 2008.

Ronald DeBoer said much the same after the game on the BBC(I've been sitting watching highlights since I got home, still don't believe it!).

Didn't they lose those games as well?

Oops! They allowed that club to die. Silly me.

They have the cheek to come out with a statement like that yet were singing sectarian songs and the hearts song to taunt us couldn't see there end at one point for the smoke bombs obviously OK as well what happened to points deduction for any sectarian songs if they're asking for an independent enquiry why don't UEFA do it.
