This atricle seems to imply the offender is a Hibs fan by saying he was waiting for a Hibs game on a pub on Easter Road on a matchday. Not no mention of the fact the opposition was Hearts that day and that it's HEARTS that have problems with smoke bombs. Also the guy lives in Dalry which is deep in Hearts land and has a much higher concentration of Yamfuds than us.
Looks a bit tainted that article no? He's even called William, which they seem to have a liking to!
Why not mention who he supports or that it just so happened to be Derby day or the pub name where we'd know whose fans he belonged to.

Good point, if they feel the need to call him a 'football supporter'' they should (imo) go the whole hog and name the team he supports.
This article is certainly giving the impression he is a hibs fan.
If he is a yam, and the so called journalist knows this, then this is a clear case of poor and biased reporting!

I'm not defending the Yam fud but, he has pled guilty, his lawyer has offered mitigating circumstances regarding his behavior to get the best possible sentence. He is not going to say his client was a Yamfud, trying to cause trouble. The police would have reported the incident to the Procurator Fiscal, and their report would have cited what colours he was wearing and the importance of the game, or maybe not, depending on their loyalties, but I would imagine they would have. The PF is responsible for presenting the severity of the charge, but decided to go easy, or maybe had no option, due to the report she / he received from the police.
I think the journalist was only presenting the facts as stated in court, but the nameless scribe could also be hiding the true story by misrepresenting the facts.
A bit like Craigie Veitch Pink News headline in January 1973, Hearts lose out in seven goal thriller.

There was a story in the EEN about Alex Salmond the other day and not once did they mention that he was a Yam. Outrageous slur on Hibs.

EEN misleading story
I totally agree with givescotlandfreedom on this and am glad he has highlighted this story as it does not show the News up in a good light as they "dont" want to offend the Hearts buying side of their paper and infer that the game was at Easter rd which makes the neutral reader think this must be a Hibs supporter who was responsible and it is only by givescotlands vigilance is seeing that it was the Hearts who were the opposition that day and the fact that they have let off these smoke bombs the last twice at ER that you see which team the so called supporter is with .
Well done givescotlandfreedom for pointing this out as to me and all other sensible Hibs fans

Doesn't even mention which pub he was standing outside which might have been a giveaway.

It would appear that there is now a "new" story on a different link. See. A bit less ambiguous

Speaking after sentencing, Stewart said: "I took the blame for something that wasn't me. One of my friends grassed me up when he was caught by police."
Nice try lad.
