Not really, from what I can see there’s one poster who appears to be drunk windmilling.

The rest of it is good fun laughing at Rangers fans making a **** of themselves again.

Someone hand me a tissue. Like you're the only one who supports the club.

Clique? What clique? Pathetic.

You said a really stupid thing about a poster who I've never met, but who defends Hibs more than anyone on here. A number of people have told you how wrong you are and you've suddenly become the victim.

Geez peace.

Anyway, im leaving. I have more to do than argue with people who matter nothing to me. Only thing in common is our football team.
Please dont worry about how people treat me or think of me.

To put this into perspective, Hibs fans run onto a football pitch in a spontaneous outpouring of joy and are then characterised as public enemy No.1 by the Glasgow Police/media, portrayed as if they had carried out the most heinous crimes, dragged from places of work to spend time in cells etc....

Then we have the fans of The Rangers who have gathered in large numbers, obviously a planned event, failing to comply with legislation put in place control the spread of a pandemic that has killed over 120,000 people in the UK. I await a similar reaction from the Glasgow Police/media.

There has to be action taken after this. You could probably easily ID about 50 of the hun hoodlums from the handful of clips linked on this thread alone.
The outrageous campaign to identify our fans who went on the pitch in 2016 was a disgrace. Still not seen how much money was wasted in the two years I believe they had a team assigned to the task.
This latest hun display needs to be called out in the MSM for what it is and the Police need to take firm action in the aftermath. I won’t hold my breath.

[calumhibee1]

By that you presumably. mean new legislation. Just how would that work?. What do you suggest 'something' is a little bland.

To start I’d hope that Rangers are billed for the additional cost the council will have to pay to clear this mess up. What really gets me here is that it is no longer a celebration, it is pure destruction of public areas which costs the tax payer. Don’t forget that this isn’t the first time this same group of fans have committed the same acts in the same place in a short space of time while under restrictions. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to have expected the police/government to have stopped this (given that it’s not been a surprise each time it’s occurred) or at least come up with a punishment as a deterrent because as of right now these folk appear to be above the law.

Get this thread back on track. I have no time for that club like many supporters of other teams who have to tolerate them when they come to town. There are some decent Rangers supporters who will not be pleased with their behaviour tonight but not surprised.
They do not know how to behave and have not learned from the past. You have other teams who celebrate and they behave, but there seem to be something in that clubs fans DNA that they cannot behave. Whilst some people do not find anything funny in somebody loosing fingers others do because it is Rangers.

Great post and it should never be forgotten by Hibs fans. This will get the sweep sweep treatment by the media. It's too politically sensitive for the Union just now to have it's pawns exposed as the supremacist thugs that they are.

Their behaviour towards Neil Lennon at Easter Road when the were singing "We thought you were dead we hoped you were dead" says it all about the mentality of their fans.

A firework the idiot lit himself by all accounts. Deserved everything that came his way. Fellow human beings are capable of engaging in despicable and unforgiveable acts at times. Do they all deserve sympathy because we belong to the same species? What a strange view.

If compassion for a fellow human being setting off a firework and being seriously injured for doing so has become 'strange view' then I'm happy to be seen as 'strange'. Nae worries Mr Normal who prefers hideous injury for the despicable and unforgivable act of setting off a firework.

Well that was a fun catch up. Always good to read of these posters who hate this place so much that they feel the need to come on and tell everyone that rather than just posting elsewhere 🙄

As for the Huns, some of the videos and photos going around just show them up for the ****bags they are. As per though, there will be little condemnation. Hibs or Saints will probably get a tougher time for celebrating (properly) next week.

Manchester MKII, Disapointing to see some of the scenes in Glasgow. I didn't really mind them celebrating all that much some of the scenes were impressive like the flares along the clyde but then idiots took over and started trashing the place and abusing people.

May I ask if we're lucky enough to win on Saturday if crowds gather in Leith links or wherever that you respect the folk around you and pick up your litter. We need to be better than that.

I don't think there's any doubt that the person is responsible for what happened, carrying a lit firework in public is reckless behaviour but it's hardly despicable and unforgivable.

[Sylar]

Disgusting but not surprising. I understand their fans wanting to celebrate, but to see the carnage caused to George Square, them launching stuff at the police, kicking the absolute ***** out of each other and singing their usual songbook is disgraceful - not to mention the images doing the rounds of the vermin pissing and ****ting in the streets. It was inevitible it was going to happen - could the police not have started dispersing them as soon as they started gathering outside Ibrox 4 hours prior to kick off? Or stopped them advancing into the city after the game rather than escorting them? That's not to blame the police - the folk at fault here are the knuckle-drugging morons who 'celebrated' by ruining their own city centre.

The infuriating thing is that bugger all will be done about it beyond the few arrests made last night. Even the media aren't being particularly harsh - the BBC simply talk about 'Rangers fans marching on the city centre after title win'.

And some of these morons have the sheer audacity to compare the scenes yesterday to the protest that took place on Kenmure Street days prior. Braindead, to a man.

Police clearly had a horrendous task, but again, if they can spend hundreds of thousands on an enquiry to trace fans who encroach a football pitch, why has there not been the same public outing on individuals who have literally rioted, vandalised, assaulted, and caused mayhem.

The Hibs cup final story ran for weeks, this will be swept away after a day or two, guaranteed. They are without doubt Scotland's shame, disgusting vile bigoted 'support'.

[theonlywayisup]

Fail to see how any can defend their behaviour. I expect to see arrests and the Glasgow Police spending months chasing those who have clearly flouted the rules. Early morning raids and dragging people from places of work as they did in 2016.

Sevco won't defend it they'll just ignore it or put our a statement as late as possible that will just be a more polished version of "we r the peepl" and "everyone hates us, we don't care". That's the biggest issue, like with sectarianism they have no desire to address the issue or the continuing disgraceful behaviour of their fans.

I read the whole article looking for an official comment and condemnation from Sevco but was not surprised to see them absent. That isn't a surprise but someone in the media really need to push Sevco on why they refuse to comment. They also need to ask the police why their stance is so different between yesterday and the 2016 final. But I think we all know this will be forgotten in a day.

[hibbydog]

Completely predictable from Sevco fans. Fighting, trashing George Square and throwing stuff at the police. It’s not like they don’t have previous.

What I really don’t understand is why the authorities didn’t take pre-emptive action. Is it too much to ask that they erect Big barriers all round George Square and Ibrox?

But its not 'football fans'. Leicester won the cup yesterday for the first time in their history and I've seen no videos like this. If we win on Saturday I'm sure some will take it too far but we'll see nothing like the scenes last night. Let's not get into the narrative that all football fans are bad.

[Pretty Boy]

I don't really have any issues with the celebrating. Yes it's against the rules and although it's outdoors I accept the point about crowds on public transport, increased pressure on retail etc. It's a natural reaction though and it will happen in Perth or Edinburgh next week.

I don't get the anger though. Even early doors before the battles started no one looked like they were out for a good time. It looked like a tinderbox situation. You see these kind of events with other teams and whilst there is littering and folk singing stuff that is a bit near the knuckle there is also a healthy smattering of families and people looking happy and smiley. Even across Glasgow look at the scenes from Celtic's 'treble treble' parade and compare it to yesterday. Look at Hearts in 2012 or us in 2016. Aye a few idiots took it too far but social media wasn't saturated with drunken violence and vandalism.

People try to pass it off or excuse it as 'working class' guys. Bollocks. Hibs, St Johnstone, Hearts, Kilmarnock etc all have fans from schemes and deprived areas and avoid widespread scenes like we saw last night.

The fact is Rangers fans behave like that because they can. Their behaviour is never wholly condemned without equivalences being drawn to others. An attack on sectarianism is painted as an attack on Rangers, pointing out the hypocrisy of their fans saw accusations of 'whataboutery'.

Absolutely no one is surprised by what they watched last night. That tells the story.

They are a bitter, angry shower of bigots that thinks everyone hates them. And they’re right.

As to why they’re so angry? I’d guess a culture of violence, lack of education and all the rest that goes with it. Passed through generations.

And I’d guess they’re generally worse since their liquidation in 2012. Their perceived injustice probably intensifies the bitterness.

Like you say, I’d trust every team in Scotland to celebrate without scenes like yesterday. Apart from them.

As depressing as it was predictable.

I agree with you to an extent and I hope we see celebrations next week by Hibs fans in a far more responsible manner. My fear is we won't and it will all be down to alcohol. I don't necessarily think it is a football related problem, you only have to look at nearly every march/demo that descends into the same kind of scenes to see the demon drink plays a huge part.

[The Modfather]

Lockdown has not been kind to this thread

[gbhibby]

Watched some of the clips from yesterday's "celebrations" there is one in which a policeman is being attacked. Others show people getting their heads kicked in. I hope that club issue a statement which I doubt they will. The person who lost fingers in the firework accident was their own doing. I would say that compassion fatigue sets in when it is that club.

Some even-handed comments and some uneven-handed comments.

[Eyrie]

Completely predictable from Sevco fans. Fighting, trashing George Square and throwing stuff at the police. It’s not like they don’t have previous.

What I really don’t understand is why the authorities didn’t take pre-emptive action. Is it too much to ask that they erect Big barriers all round George Square and Ibrox?

I'd have expected the police to be more pro-active about preventing the crowd numbers getting too large to be handled in the first place. I thought the level three Covid restrictions give them the ability to disperse even small groups?

Justice Secretary is quite open about possible action.


Humza Yousaf says Rangers fans congregating in Glasgow city centre to celebrate their Premiership title win are endangering the lives of others
The justice secretary is now in talks with authorities over taking further action against what he calls “selfish and irresponsible behaviour”.
Thousands of fans took to the city centre following the Ibrox side’s 4-0 win over Aberdeen on Saturday that seen them lift the league trophy for the first time since 2011.
But Yousaf says their actions increase the risk of Covid transmission during a ‘crucial and fragile’ stage.
lives' with 'Covid risk' celebrations.

He said:“I understand the significance of this day for Rangers fans but I am extremely disappointed that supporters have once again ignored Covid regulations and chosen to gather in large numbers in Glasgow.
“The rules are the same for everyone and the evidence is clear – when large numbers of people gather in close proximity, there is an increased risk of transmission.
“We are in a crucial and fragile stage in our fight against the virus, with a new variant and rising infection rates adding to the risks.
“This selfish and irresponsible behaviour endangers the lives of others – supporters, the police on duty and the wider community.

“I want to thank the police for incredibly difficult job they are doing keeping our communities safe throughout the pandemic.
“We have already discussed this with Rangers and will liaise with Police Scotland and the football authorities to consider what further action can be taken.”
Police earlier confirmed that arrests had taken place for anti-social behaviour and videos posted online show several scuffles breaking out.

All running scared of a football club and it's violent, bigoted, knuckle dragging support.

All of what was witnessed yesterday should have our government, police and media condemning this in the most vocal of terms.

Instead we're listening to mild mannered messages about Coronavirus regulations being breached from the justice Secretary, "mostly peaceful gatherings" from Police Scotland, pretty much nothing from reports on the TV this morning, and complete silence from the First Minister.

It will, as usual, see us all tarred with the same brush, whilst all the cowards above continue to be terrified of holding Rangers, and its support, responsible and calling them out for what they are.

The reason they act like this is simple, they know there will be no repercussions.

Very interesting the range of opinion in the newspaper headlines. See the Daily Record / Sunday Mail keeping their love affair with Rangers going. Absolute rag compare and contrast with our Scottish cup win coverage.

[JimBHibees]

I don't really have any issues with the celebrating. Yes it's against the rules and although it's outdoors I accept the point about crowds on public transport, increased pressure on retail etc. It's a natural reaction though and it will happen in Perth or Edinburgh next week.

I don't get the anger though. Even early doors before the battles started no one looked like they were out for a good time. It looked like a tinderbox situation. You see these kind of events with other teams and whilst there is littering and folk singing stuff that is a bit near the knuckle there is also a healthy smattering of families and people looking happy and smiley. Even across Glasgow look at the scenes from Celtic's 'treble treble' parade and compare it to yesterday. Look at Hearts in 2012 or us in 2016. Aye a few idiots took it too far but social media wasn't saturated with drunken violence and vandalism.

People try to pass it off or excuse it as 'working class' guys. Bollocks. Hibs, St Johnstone, Hearts, Kilmarnock etc all have fans from schemes and deprived areas and avoid widespread scenes like we saw last night.

The fact is Rangers fans behave like that because they can. Their behaviour is never wholly condemned without equivalences being drawn to others. An attack on sectarianism is painted as an attack on Rangers, pointing out the hypocrisy of their fans saw accusations of 'whataboutery'.

Absolutely no one is surprised by what they watched last night. That tells the story.

The anger comes from a culture of hating people based on religion which probably permeates into a psyche of hating everything. As you say their behaviour is never fully condemned I posted the newspaper headlines on another post and the contrast between them is marked with their usual cheerleader rags giving them as easy time as they can.

The scenes have been far too wild to go unmentioned. Wonder if the Huns will say anything?

[tamig]

I don't think there's any doubt that the person is responsible for what happened, carrying a lit firework in public is reckless behaviour but it's hardly despicable and unforgivable.

My response related to the implication that because we are all human we should perhaps show sympathy for when another human suffers serious injury. I was pointing out that there are a lot of horrible humans who do very bad things. Should our sympathy also apply to those characters if they come to harm? I wasn’t suggesting the handless hun carried out a despicable and unforgiveable act. Certainly it was an act he shouldn’t have done and I have no sympathy for the outcome he’ll have to live with.

Well, well that was a wee bit of a shock eh! The west of Scotland supporters along with the Belfast group had a wee bit of over indulgence and somewhat over exuberances. Don’t worry the daily ranker will help the polis point every one of them oot, they will not rest until every one of them potential granny killers are in jail.

People will celebrate, but Hibs supporters celebrating will be the same as it is for every club outwith Rangers celebrating.

Most will be fine, the odd high jinks will occur and a handful of ********s will take it too far.

I can't understand the Uncle Tom weirdos who want to draw false equivalences between Rangers as a club, their fans and the way they behave and those of Hibs and other football clubs in general. They are simply incomparable.

They are a backward disgrace and I just cannot understand how they manage to exist and thrive in the modern day when much of the world and modern Scotland has moved on from all they represent.

I think the outcome from this weekend will be that crowds will be dispersed much more quickly and efficiently in Edinburgh and Perth next weekend.

The police can’t have 2 consecutive weekends of football related instances so will look to prevent it early.

Why? Its not just Rangers fans (they are in a league on their own though), Celtic fans gathered in their hundreds, Liverpool fans the same. Quite rightly there were voices of concern about letting football go ahead because the fans can't control themselves.....there will be a few 'I told you so's' this weekend. Personally I have found football being on a positive distraction during this dire year but if someone tells me that it has added to the spread and therefore, deaths.....I can't argue.

Good statement and probably sums up the views of most reasonably minded people in Scotland. There will be nothing released by Rangers in terms of condemnation. More likely see a statement attacking the First Minister/Scottish Government for singling them out with the usual level of whataboutary.

If I’m being 100% honest (and I’ll probably get jumped on for this) there is a part of me that’s worried about some of our fans taking it too far next weekend if we win. We would never ever see the level of lawlessness as last night but there will 100% be clowns who will go out of there way to be an embarrassment.

[.Sean.]

Cannot believe there’s anyone that can defend that with the argument we’ll do similar if we win the cup?

Yes, Leith Walk/ Easter Road will be rammed and rightly so

Will be be paggering eachother, smashing up cars, trying to look solid lobbing cones at riot polis from 30 yards away and taking a dump in a photo booth at Waverley? I’d bet probably no.

Were you anywhere near Edinburgh on the 22nd May 2016. I was there from mid morning right through until the back of 8 and not once did I see Hibs fans fighting with each other, trashing property or fighting/chucking stuff at the police.

Was a party atmosphere with loads of folk, generations of families and people of all ages etc having an amazing time.

High percentage of folk were drinking but zero issues.

Police were out interacting with those there (I was outside the harp and castle then the links) but the atmosphere was that of celebration and not one of violence!

I don’t doubt for a minute that fans will turn up at ER and areas like that to celebrate but I think it’ll be party mood and not paggering central!

As for blame yes you can. They cannot behave and this is the second time in as many months they’ve trashed George Sq.

Will be be paggering eachother, smashing up cars, trying to look solid lobbing cones at riot polis from 30 yards away and taking a dump in a photo booth at Waverley? I’d bet probably no.

****bags, every single one of them.

Exactly. I don’t see any reason to defend Rangers here. If our fans recreTe these scenes from the Rangers fans, they’d be roasters as well, but our supporters won’t be assaulting each other in the streets and damaging everything in sight.

Exactly how will that be right? The vast majority of our fans will know that this virus has not gone away and is dangerous....if we gather in those kind of numbers we will be killing people, extending the lockdown and destroying businesses. Believe me I will be celebrating next week but I can do that without breaking the law.
If a couple of 1000 are willing to risk another spike then I'm afraid you are letting the club and everyone associated with it down.

Did a spike come after The Rangers fans gathered the last time? Or when Celtc done the same to protest? Or when St Johnstone fans celebrated winning the League Cup?

Arguably yes, the worst spike in Scotland during that time was in the West Coast....besides does it need to be huge numbers? If just one person becomes ill because of any off these examples then it wasn't worth it.

[The Count]

Look forward to The Daily Record printing pictures of Huns given to them by the police to help identify culprits.In this case fully justified thuggery unlike 2016 when many photos published were of young lads just running about a football pitch.

Just a bit after the fact though. It could and should have prevented.

[Brightside]

I don’t think it will be rammed if we win the Scottish cup tbh. Last time everyone was there for the parade. No way will anywhere close to that number turn up just to stand in a street and get pissed. I have no intention of going to the links this time. I’ll just carry on the garden party till the early hours.

Leith Links is a massive outdoor space - plenty space for people to gather and celebrate safely.

Leith Walk has tram works all over it !

I beg to differ. It was very predictable and preventable, the Police were far too passive and could have stopped access to George Sq.

Yes. Hence why Glasgow are staying in level 3.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

IF we win the cup next week it'll be totally different to what happened yesterday in so many ways. For a start, the main focus would probably be Leith Links which is a large open green space as opposed to George Square which is a much smaller confined space. Also, many Hibs fans will just want to soak up the atmosphere in the (socially distanced) pubs around Leith and Easter Road. There will also not be the toxic atmosphere which seemed to be evident in Glasgow yesterday.

Again, IF we win the cup as its certainly no gimmie, I'll be down in Leith on the Sunday to enjoy the day out with many other happy Hibs fans.

[marinello59]

I agree with you in so much as it's not right for people to be gathering in large numbers next weekend purely because it's illegal but I don't agree it would cause a massive spike. It's outdoors which massively reduces the risk.

Previous outdoor protests and large gatherings which have taken place haven't caused any spikes to speak of so I thino we need to be careful not to go over the score.

[Lendo]

There is a thread over on Follow Follow about how the benches and scaffolding at George Square have been deliberately left there by the SNP. A clear attempt to try and goad the Rangers fans in to trashing it and giving them all a bad name.

No one can be surprised by any of this. It's not even newsworthy. The Rangers and their previous incarnation do this ALL the time. Wherever you find violence, social disorder, hooliganism and hatred a Sevco fan is not far away. The Police knew about this well in advance, the Government knew about this well in advance. Any post-riot Statement of outrage could have been written 10 days ago. So why all the shock and horror ?

The big question is what the Gov/police did or could have done about it, or what the follow-up is going to be.

My fear is this may well come back and bite peaceful Hibs fans. Sturgeon will be under pressure to make sure nothing like this happens in Edinburgh, should Hibs win the Cup. And, just like politicians use lockdown of the population as a simple blunt instrument to fight Covid, we'll all be warned this week that no gatherings will be tolerated under any circumstances in Edinburgh / Leith next Saturday. Streets will be blocked off, there will be a massive police presence and, if needed, they will take their frustration out on peaceful, celebrating Hibs fans who are a much easier target than fuelled up Glasgow headcases.

[LeithMike]

I don't really have any issues with the celebrating. Yes it's against the rules and although it's outdoors I accept the point about crowds on public transport, increased pressure on retail etc. It's a natural reaction though and it will happen in Perth or Edinburgh next week.

I don't get the anger though. Even early doors before the battles started no one looked like they were out for a good time. It looked like a tinderbox situation. You see these kind of events with other teams and whilst there is littering and folk singing stuff that is a bit near the knuckle there is also a healthy smattering of families and people looking happy and smiley. Even across Glasgow look at the scenes from Celtic's 'treble treble' parade and compare it to yesterday. Look at Hearts in 2012 or us in 2016. Aye a few idiots took it too far but social media wasn't saturated with drunken violence and vandalism.

People try to pass it off or excuse it as 'working class' guys. Bollocks. Hibs, St Johnstone, Hearts, Kilmarnock etc all have fans from schemes and deprived areas and avoid widespread scenes like we saw last night.

The fact is Rangers fans behave like that because they can. Their behaviour is never wholly condemned without equivalences being drawn to others. An attack on sectarianism is painted as an attack on Rangers, pointing out the hypocrisy of their fans saw accusations of 'whataboutery'.

Absolutely no one is surprised by what they watched last night. That tells the story.I think a lot stems from the boardroom since insolvency. The various boards and owners have appealed to their base element and fostered an embittered culture. Orange strips, awful media relations and complaining that the BBC, SFA and all other clubs are out to get them has created a pretty horrible culture with no respect or care for other

Maybe that needs to be looked at then. This is getting all a bit tiring now given we've seen this a few weeks before when the title was officially won and they did the same thing.

The authorities have had weeks to prepare for yesterday, there should be no one surprised by events. So what are the police, government etc doing about it? Just releasing statements isn't working. What is it they say about the definition of insanity - doing the same thing and expecting different results?

The question now needs to move from useless condemnation to how to prevent it happening again. And no one is talking about that as they don't dare challenge Sevco, and they know it. Hence why the club aren't bothering to comment.

The crowds had already begun dispersing by the time the police took action. That makes sense as you can arrest the stragglers and uses CCTV to arrest the others at a later date. (remind you of 2016?)

[Just Alf]

I’m maybe being slow here, but it says police dispersed the crowds due to rising disorder. Why the F was that not done in the first place given it was obvious it was going to end up that way ?Near the end they mention a few arrests for public order offences but as the crowd was fairly well behaved they let it go on as wading in to disperse the crowd would have been disproportionate. They only got more involved when they started fighting, vandalising etc.

Basically if they'd all gone and had a party they would have been left alone....

A lesson for the fans next week, not that either of us need it. :agree
