More arrests

[Dashing Bob S]

If this is true then we have members of Police Scotland acting out of nothIng more than spite. It's certainly not in the public interest to spend money on cases like this.

Agreed.

[--------]

No I don't. And I'm not. I wanted to see the team parading the cup round Hampden to SOL. That hope disappeared when thousands went on the pitch sadly.


:agree: me too.

And Warburton being interviewed and having to explain how come his players bottled it so badly. And explain how they really played Hibs off the park and how it all wasnae fair and could his players not just have the Cup because it's theirs really ....

And Rangers players interviewed too.

The celebrations after the League Cup Final in 2007 were who it should have been.

The police messed it up, but that wouldn't have mattered if the Hibs fans had behaved themselves.

I think it's fair to say that the majority of police officers in the West of Scotland are of the SEVCO persuasion. Certainly any I've spoken to in the Lanarkshire area.

Special circumstances, m lud.

The ceremonies that should have followed the final whistle were cancelled out of spite, and I refuse to let it bother me.

The vast majority were acting out of exuberance. The media shaming that followed was symptomatic, sadly, of the way the media works.

I think there have been 100 arrests in total? That I can believe. If it keeps going, it looks like a witch hunt.

I agree this has gotten out of hand and is starting to seem like a vendetta from Sevco Huns in the Glasgow polis who can't let go of May events, and are also further incentivised by the OT possibilities. If it continues, the supporters reps should be petitioning local politicians to ask questions about the scope and costs of these investigations.

Seems crazy to be spending so much public money on a petty witch hunt when Police budgets are stretched, and it's now becoming indicative of a more sinister agenda.

Quite. The violence lasted all of five minutes and involved a tiny proportion of the crowd. There are Scottish MPs and senior lawyers with Wembley turf from 77. It would be the height of hypocrisy for these people to pursue properly exuberant Hibs fans for a piece of pitch or a raised t-shirt on the orders of the Glasgow polis.

Anyone getting a banning order without due process should take it to court. It will become too difficult for the authorities to pursue one by one.

It's getting ridiculous now but it's worth noting that they have a dedicated email address.

I've done my duty and sent in some relevant information. 154 is definitely Gary Barlow while 155 is an angry Gary tank commander.

155 looks like the guy that got a kick in the head from a hun while on the ground. 151? Was she really causing trouble?

Looks to me that they are after anyone who went across the half way line.

This is just petty and vindictive policing now.

[green day]

This is just petty and vindictive policing now.

Yes, and probably pointless as most people are bored with the story now.

One saving grace?

If it's not radges and just tourists who crossed the halfway line, I dont see them flogging this dead horse for long. A few attempts and no arrests will kill it stone dead.

[snooky]

Considering the bile that goes on every week with games involving the big 2 it's actually laughable that the Police are going after Hibs shirt twirlers now.
This is a witch hunt a la McCarthyism and will probably continue ad nauseum because we had the audacity to Lilian Gish on their parade.

[DaveF]

I don't even look at the links.

Waste of time so may I suggest Police 'Scotland' devote their time to more deserving cases.

[johnbc70]

I am going to drop my MSP a quick note and ask how can this be in the public's interest to pursue this when Police budgets are being cut - this whole investigation must be running into hundreds of thousands of pounds now which frankly is a disgrace. Yes the people guilty or violence and criminal damage (I am not talking about taking some turf) should be pursued but this is ridiculous now and clearly there is some other kind of agenda at play.

Well said. Suspect that some hefty overtime bills will be hitting the Head Office soon! Maybe that will make them assess what their priorities should be.

Didn't go on the pitch but beginning to regret it now. Didn't realise I would have got my picture in the papers :rolleyes:

[Bankie]

If all of the footage is being trawled through when are we going to see the image of the club suited Rangers official who full-on volleyed a Hibs fan?

[Captain Trips]

I personally think they are just plucking images out the air now, its all a hysterical pile of pish. Nobody was hurt well except the whole Rangers team. Have the Police not got more stuff to do than trawl through the footage hoping to find out if somebody ran about doing next to FA.

Finding the whole thing beyond pathetic.

They are going after vandalism people on goalposts taking turf ect ect

Yep, it mentions vandalism under the pix. Next time any of us see any vandalism in Scotland be sure to report it to Police Scotland, it appears it's now a top priority! Ludicrous!

[danhibees1875]

Any fan that went on and caused trouble by fighting with other fans (losers who should have been on their way home) should quite rightly have been found and dealt with appropriately. However, this is now getting ridiculous and a complete waste of police time and money.

For anyone thats wanting a shocking surprise, a certain waste of space news paper has published the faces on Facebook allowing for a swarm of keyboard hardmen to give unchecked abuse to strangers.

Well done all round.

TBH I am bricking it, if I remember correctly at HT I may not have put my used coffee cup in the right bin.

FIVE MONTHS after the event, and they are STILL looking to just IDENTIFY suspects caught on video?

Dunno who is in charge of this operation, but I'd be questioning the High Heid Yins about what the Falkirk is going on.

In a couple of years think we'll go the second chapter of this when the talk is about wasted manpower and incompetent police management of routine investigations.

Five months....jeez!

[CorrieHibs]

I wonder if the Daily Record and police would take this zero tolerance attitude IF Scotland were to beat England at Wembley next month and invade the pitch like previous meetings?

[CorrieHibs]

This country is a joke when it comes to protecting them.

I hope the police put as much effort in finding the real criminals with the amount of stabbings that happened yesterday after the bigotfest.

They have spent months chasing people, its quite a ridicoulas waste of money, NOW had the Glesga polis put in as much effort into chasing down folk singing sectarian songs at the sellik v huns bigot fest they would be talking thousands of arrests. If they are serious with stamping sectarianism out theres loads and f,n loads of camera footage for them to peruse, plus, maybe the polis could ask the tv why they turned the microphones around the pitch down at certain times during the game. Talk about being treated differently.

On a slightly side note, just what was / is being done about the Falkirk dafties that attacked Hibs fans at the railway station first game of the season ? There was/is plenty of video footage to id the dafties. Don't see the Daily Ranger/Sunday Mason highlighting this story with the same gusto as they do about the Cup Final.

The rangers failed to lose their first ever Scottish Cup final in that match, nor were any of their players thrashed to within an inch of their life, so no public interest event for them to report on.

They'll understandably be scared to out the attackers in case they proved to be the much feared, new and violent Scottish cup supporters or West of Scotland FC fans that these papers did such a fearless job exposing after Hibs beat the rangers in the Scottish Cup final.

The west of Scotland FC fans are the worst, they invade pitches when they have nothing to celebrate and they have no reason to be there. They're not even "exuberant"

Like a lot of folk on here, I didn't know there was any bother until the Sunday. And I did go on the pitch (altho after seeing the footage, must've been one the 1st to actually leave it..)

Don't know the breakdown but the total at the moment is 114. I thought that might have been the cut off point due to this figures significance.
