Where was this. Saw a bit of pointing going on to my left in D5 about 20 mins into the first half, but just dismissed it.

I saw a guy whack the person in the next seat about the head in the North Stand. He was dressed head to toe in black n white, pretty sure I would recognise him again.
Every gimmick hungry yob,
Digging gold from rock and roll
Grabs the mic to tell us,
He'll die before he's sold.

it was couple rows down from me in section F4, dont really know what happened but police were fairly useless, everyone was trying to wave them over to help the steward who had gone down but they just stood around taking no notice
something happened 2nd half a few sections to the left of me but no idea what went on there although someone next to me said they saw i guy who looked like he was choking being taken out

Why the fights?
Without knowing the facts it's probably because some people (even Hibs fans) shouldn't be allowed in a public place until they can prove they can behave properly.

We're you seeing double, by any chance?

I had a good view of the knob who threw the punch. I was in F7 about he was probably F6, maybe three rows down from me.
After their equaliser he turned round and shouted aggressively at the rest of the crowd, "Where's the f***ing support, eh? Call yourself supporters, f***ing embarrassing." I don't mean the typical and acceptable gesturing for noise and support — he was being a proper cock and swearing at individuals. The guy immediately behind him told him to sit down, cue "Who are you telling to sit down?" and squaring up. Folk beside the instigator calmed him a bit and it seemed over.
Two minutes later he was going to the toilet/kiosk. The guy at the end of the row behind him said something as he passed and he snapped again. This time he was physical and the guy at the end of the row (I'd say he was about 55, the instigator maybe 35-40) stood up. I saw one fairly shan punch connect but he was really going for it, just too mashed to swing straight. It looked like the older guy was defending himself but not striking out. Harder to see at this point as they went down and everyone was standing on seats to have a neb. A group of guys seemed to step in and hold the guy until the police/stewards decided to get involved.
Apologies if any of that's wrong but as I say I saw it fairly clearly though I could only hear what the guy who threw the punches was saying. Especially out of order to carry on like that in a section with so many young kids.

I hope not, otherwise he should remember what happened to the guy dressed as a sheep on the train at Carnoustie :o

Didn't see any problems & thought the atmosphere was much better than tends to be the case on these most stressful of occasions.

Didn't witness any of this myself but it makes very sad reading. Shameful to hear of grown men behaving like that. We should always be better than such nonsense.

I was in the East F4 Passageway 31 row Y.
There was a punch up about 10 rows or so behind us. I didnt see who started it, but there was a young lad with blood coming out of his nose who was led away by the stewards, but apart from a big lad in black who seemed to be involved I didnt see who threw the punch or what caused the fight.

If these folk could't take the pressure on Saturday what the hell will they be like on the 19th of May

Boy definitely took a sore one in F4. Don't know what he said to deserve it though. Another guy near me was lucky as he kept screaming at everyone round about us to sit down. He was being quite an arse about it and a few people had words.

In the past with terracing, if a guys being a dick, you could move. With seats though it's not much fun when there are so many youngsters.
