Pitch invasions are part and parcel of joyous football occasions, none more so than ours, they dont need to turn into paggers.
As The Count says above, the Huns seem unable to accept that fact.

I remember one of their guys got way carried away with himself, and ran up to the east giving it the GIRFUY. Who wouldn't in those circumstances?
It's their entire holier than thou attitude, backed up by the cringeworthy Chic Young, who was in full pants wetting mode that stuck in my craw. How could anyone come out with the statement they made on that night, without sounding like it was all sour grapes?
Apparently Hibs had not been in touch to apologise. Anybody that knows anything about football would realise that there would not be a single person at Easter Road that could hold a telephone the right way up, that night, let alone apologise.

Reporting Scotland last night bemoaned the fact that the SFA would not provide anyone to comment on Henry McLeish's criticism that they had ignored his report
They had expected Malky MacKay, SFA performance director to comment. He didn't, but still gets a place on Sportscene, where he comments on the game.
They are all up to their necks in it. Glasgow is actually a very small town, at the end of the day.

Speaks volumes they think that’s acceptable
But no one seems able to hold them to account

Well done Michael Stewart for not giving them the apology they were desperate for.

No apology but probably been made clear to him to stick to actual facts and not hearsay.

I read that they just wanted an undertaking that MS would adhere to their broadcasting guidelines and that's what they've got.

The people running the BBC are very selective with how and when they apply these guidelines of fairness and accuracy.

Welcome back Michael Stewart, the voice of reason, truth and straight-talking that Scottish Football lacks dreadfully.

Surprised he is prepared to go back after a public dressing down, but maybe it’s a good earner getting a few slots on Sportsound each week and the weekly Sportscene slot.
Tam Cowan was suspended for a similar length of time after his jokes aimed at women’s football, but he came back and it was soon forgotten about. Be interesting to see how they go about skirting round the next Hun statement with Michael Stewart when it arrives.

From his interview with Si Ferry, Mickey Stewart sound like he wants to be close to home. Not really surprised he's back working on BBC Scotland. Good wee earner on his doorstep. Delighted he's back. Only thing that makes it worth listening to or watching.

A prominent Rangers supporters' group has issued a strongly-worded statement in response to BBC Scotland's decision to reinstate Michael Stewart.
Club 1872 has claimed comments made by the pundit about Ibrox PR chief Jim Traynor "were, in our opinion, a factor in the physical assault on him" adding: "There is a pattern of behaviour with Michael Stewart on any Rangers-related topic and his motivation is abundantly clear to anyone who pays attention.
"Quite simply, Michael Stewart should have been sacked on the spot.
"The decision to reinstate Mr Stewart, and the attempted justification for that reinstatement, makes it clear that under its current leadership BBC Scotland has no intention of ever properly discharging its duty to a significant section of licence fee payers in Scotland.
The former Hearts and Hibs midfielder, who regularly appears as a pundit on BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound programme and on the televised Sportscene, was suspended following comments he made about Traynor on February 3, with Sportsound host Kenny McIntyre reading out an apology during the following day's programming.
The BBC claimed it was discussing the issue with Stewart to ensure "editorial guidelines" were adhered to in future and a statement earlier this week read: "Following Sportsound on Monday February 3 we have clearly explained the BBC editorial guidelines around fairness and accuracy to Michael Stewart.
"We expect our pundits to be forthright, but fair. Michael agrees with this. On that basis Michael is now available for selection for Sportscene and Sportsound.
'Defies belief'
Rangers issued a statement last night to the Scottish Sun newspaper, slamming the lack of "remorse or apology", adding: "It is important to remember that [Michael Stewart] was dismissive of any racist behaviour towards Alfredo Morelos during the last Old Firm match."That the BBC is now happy to allow this contributor a return to their platforms even though he has shown no remorse or offered an apology to Rangers, Alfredo Morelos, or James Traynor, who has been attacked online and also physically, defies belief.
"In light of this Rangers will not now resume discussions on resolving those issues with the BBC.
'Ongoing biased coverage'
And now Rangers fans' group Club 1872 has waded into the showdown, hitting out at Stewart's reinstatement and attacking BBC Scotland's "ongoing biased coverage" of the club.The statement continues: "Rangers supporters are correct to mistrust BBC Scotland and it is clear that the organisation is deeply flawed at an institutional level. There is no accountability, no integrity and no responsibility – from senior management all the way down to Mr Stewart’s level.
"In light of this Rangers will not now resume discussions on resolving those issues with the BBC."

Rangers - just **** off will you. Everyone hates you, so just bugger off back to the 17th century where you belong.

“Oh no, they’ve withdrawn from discussions with the BBC about shoehorning more coverage of the old firm on to the airwaves”, what a ****ing shame.
In the real world, the BBC do everything they can to appease rangers like some sort of jilted lover, so they can piss of as well.

Come to think of it, it doesn't go far enough for the Bears. They are in a league of their own and would probably see being described as fandamentalists as a compliment.

How is the assault on Traynor thing progressing. Any eye witnesses come forward? Anything from the police?
If there has, then I've missed it.
Now Traynor would never have made the whole thing up, would he?

Nobody at Sevco wanting to issue a strong statement about the made up racism comments on Sky?
