James Tavernier interview

[Mick O'Rourke]

Not to make light of Friday's incident at The Holy Ground
However i did "smile" at one comment from James Tavernier in the interview published on various news media.
He said this
"We had an incident a few years ago where they (us!) "raided" Hampden"

Lovely...... "Raiders of the Lost Cup!"

James, I have news for you.

In my long lifetime, followers of your club (and the previous one )have been raiding and looting towns and cities the length and breadth of these islands,and further.

Ask the folks of Manchester, London and Newcastle, to name just three cities.

I was in Newcastle a couple of weeks after their Fairs Cup semi final tie in 1969 ( we were changing trains)

We kept quiet when in a city centre pub till we left for our train.

When Newcastle went 2 up, thousands of rAngers followers invaded the pitch.

After having rained hundreds of beer bottles on to the pitch and elsewhere in the ground.
It took nearly half an hour to resume the game.

I did not end there ,the centre of Newcastle was trashed.
Local glaziers made a fortune that week.

In 1972 they,in their thousands ,invaded the pitch in Barcelona (ECWCF) before the final whistle.

John Greig, the rAngers skipper, was handed the cup in the dressing room !!

Whatabootery, eh !!?

No one likes them, they don't care !

[Vini1875]

No mention of the hun players clear goading. I'm surprised in remembers Hampden as he looked to in daze all day, that day.

[ac1]

Yeah no memory of Morelos and Candeias inciting the East Stand for 30 seconds after the goal - he must have been chatting to McLean at the time!

Tavernier is a ***** bag, never a captain

[MWHIBBIES]

Would we have been on the park at Hampden if he could mark Stokes at the front post? Probably not. His own fault really.

Loves himself... thick as mince... how can you say he’s not a true Rangers captain?

After Barcelona, they paraded the cup round Ibrox park in an open top lorry ;-)
They cannot do proper parades through there, unless flutes and drums are involved !

TV coverage of that parade clearly shows players and staff indulging in the type of sectarian "singing" your clip shows.
I understand that in some Countries there are political/class divisions amongst some club fans.
But nowhere, bar here in Scotland and possibly the six counties, do we witness the sectarian hatred we endure every week in football grounds they visit

Do we have a definitive list of the injuries suffered by "every single Rangers" player at the 2016 Cup Final?

A lot of egos were bruised and hearts were broken.

[PatHead]

Not to mention the trouble when Motherwell beat them in the playoffs.

That list is as mythical as Warburton's magic hat.
Although James Traynor, Keith Jackson and possibly Lee Wallace will say different.
Well not really
In the cold light of day, well not even that, they knew what they were spouting, was in the main, absolute lies. But never retracted any of it.
Kenny Miller was about the only one who showed any grace after the game.
Apart from the idiot who challenged the rAngers keeper (and the Lee Wallace incident?) i don't think anything else of note occurred.
I may be wrong though.... i stayed in my seat !!

[BullsCloseHibs]

Rankers bring it all on themselves.

I think it was Gordon Waddell of the Sunday Mail who wrote that he stood yards from a Sevco player lying on the ground having his head kicked violently by a Hibs fan. Lies.

[Bostonhibby]

The boys a petro****er.

One of their legendary petrofac trophy winning squad. Sevcos only trophy.

“We had an incident a few years ago where they raided Hampden. These things shouldn’t happen."

What a crass, ignorant and unnecessary pop at Hibs and Hibs fans that does nothing to help the situation. The sort of claptrap you'd expect to find in one of The Rangers infamous "statements".

JT still hurting badly from the personal beating he took that day from Mr Stokes.

[SChibs]

I love how much he hates us.

They won 3 lower league titles.. they've never won any form of major trophy though. Even we managed to win a major trophy in our first couple of years in existence

[Sir David Gray]

What happened on Friday night should not have taken place and I'm glad he wasn't hurt however he's a disgrace for having a go at the club's fans in general.

He should take a look at the number of convictions from the cup final. He might be interested to see that the majority of those convicted were West of Scotland football fans.

Away and polish your Petrofac Cup medal James.

He's a fud and like most of the imported Huns has bought into the victim mentality with no knowledge of the historical cheating, bias on the park and the savagery and bigotry off it. Imagine being a Hun player for so many years and having ZERO winners medals to show for it. Unless he really wants to count the Petrofac cup win.

Tavernier possibly has the record for a hun with most appearances and no winners medals....prick

[Bishop Hibee]

He still suffers PTSD after 21.05.16. Nightmares about being destroyed by Stokes 🇳🇬🏆

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

It's like Heinrich Himmler mumping about the D-Day landings.

[matty_f]

I think the guy's a prick.

[kevinc]

Tavernier shouldn’t have had to deal with what he’d did on Friday.

He should have dealt with Stokes’y getting a free run up his line and a free header when he was supposed to be marking him on that glorious day at Hampden, maybe he has learned his lesson for the next time they attempt to win their first major honour.

Maybe you should if you don't share the same opinion after the past 5 years.

[Brooster]

Haha he got raided by Omeonga at the goal.

[we are hibs]

Considering they blamed hibs fans goading them for their fans running on the pitch on 21st May maybe he should look at his team mate morelos goading the hibs fans as part of the problem.

I should get out more because I don't "hate every single hun in this country"?

Get a grip, the team that someone supports does not define their personality
