The Scottish Cup Final: Rangers v Hibs


Recommended Posts

Holt was left chasing Zalelam's missed passes and cleaning up after him.

 

Away man. Where were these missed passes from Zelalem ? Think you are confusing Zelalem for Halliday yesterday

Sorry but that's nonsense. Halliday was barely able to get his passes in the postcode he was aiming for. GZ's passing was good though wasn't helped by the lack of movement from others. Honestly forgot Holt was on the pitch for much of the game.

Hibs midfielder Fraser Fyvie has questioned the decision to prevent his side from enjoying a lap of honour following their Scottish Cup win on Saturday.

 

The victory ended a 114 year wait for his club but history of the wrong kind was made as the ugly scenes which came about as their supporters invaded the pitch, forcing mounted police to take to the field to help restore order, meant runners up Rangers took no part in the presentations while the winners were not allowed to engage in the traditional post-match parade around the pitch.

 

“The fans obviously got a bit excited,” Fyvie said understatedly.

 

“They’re long overdue a trophy and they’ve been great, we can only thank them for that, but the quicker they could have got off the pitch the better and then we would have been allowed to take the trophy round the pitch.

 

“If it was the other side I don’t know if they would have been allowed to take it round but we’ll see… it’s our day, it’s been a great day, it’s a fantastic day for our club, our families and the manager and staff in the background and obviously all the boys are going to have a cracking night.

 

“You’ve still got the feeling but if you take it round you get to see everyone, you can take your kids on the pitch, you get to go right round the stadium and people on the far side get to see it.

 

“I don’t think there was any reason not to do it because all the police were there, but they didn’t let us do it which was a bit disappointing.”

 

The way that emotions overcame the Hibs camp was summed up by the reaction of Jason Cummings, the striker who has been linked with a move to Rangers, but in spite of having been substituted around half an hour before the end of the match, ended up among the celebrating supporters.

 

“I meant to get caught up in it. I was in there trying to enjoy the moment,” said the 20-year-old.

 

“It’s a moment that doesn’t come around every time so I thought I’d stay out and enjoy it a wee bit longer, so I did, I stayed out with the fans and milked it a wee bit. I loved it, I loved it.”

 

“It’s passion, it’s football isn’t it?

 

“You’re going to get that, especially with the Hibs fans. Everyone knows what a day it is, for Hibs a historical day. 114 years… no-one in this lifetime has seen Hibs win that cup so you’re going to get passion, you’re going to get that from Hibs. If it didn’t happen you would wonder what’s going on.”

 

He was sufficiently wrapped up in the day’s events to offer a highly optimistic prediction.

 

“I don’t think they’ll get punished,” said Cummings.

 

“It’s football. You’ve scored a last minute winner in the Scottish Cup that you’ve not got in 114 years. I wouldn’t be sitting in my chair, I would be on that pitch.

 

“It’s what you do isn’t it. It makes the game good and entertaining. That’s what makes football.”

The complete lack of appreciation for what their fans did is startling. To suggest they won't get punished shows that Cummings wasn't blessed with much of a brain (or maybe he knows the SFA only too well).

 

There is absolutely zero humility being shown by anyone involved with Hibs. Scummy little Club that they are.

no-one in this lifetime has seen Hibs win that cup so you’re going to get passion

 

No acknowledgement of the fact that no one in any lifetime had seen Caley or St Johnstone win the cup yet there was nothing like this from their fans.

 

If it didn’t happen you would wonder what’s going on.

 

Don't recall any wonderment at the behaviour of Caley and St Johnstone fans who stayed in the stands.

 

And completely bypassing the goading of Rangers fans and attacks on Rangers players and staff. In fact not even a mention of that at all which is the core of our complaints not the actual invasion of the pitch.

Just when you think some sense might prevail, some more unbelievable tripe comes out. I don't know if these people actually believe this or if they are still drunk?? They really have no appreciation that 11 of their fellow professionals were just attacked their work. What a horrible little place this is. I'm off to bed, I may get some sense when I'm asleep?? Let's keep at them, great statement from club, time to act.

So plod are hunting mainly Rangers fans!

 

Mainly? Only 1 Hibs fan in that. Seems the assault on players is irrelevant.
