Pacific Quay Musings?


Recommended Posts

BBC Five Live linking the incident with Tavernier on Friday night with the assault on Jack Grealish this afternoon. They could hardly say any different. But the main thrust of the commentary was about how well Hibs have responded to it. Slaps on the back all round for the Hibs top brass in their condemnation of the attack. Nothing on the fact that there has been a pattern of racist abuse and violence in the form of missiles and now an on-pitch assault from Hibs fans this season, or that the the stadium security at Easter Road is clearly not fit for purpose. And of course no reminder for the listeners about all those exuberant Hibees who invaded the pitch and assaulted Rangers players and staff at the Cup Final and the rather different spin that Petrie and his mates put on that day.

 

Not followed what BBC Scotland have had to say. Probably not much....

They all continue to use the word ''confronted'' instead of attacked/assaulted

To be honest he didn't really attack Tavernier in the sense of committing grievous bodily harm. That doesn't excuse the idiot though.

He assaults Tav. As he kicks the ball and possibly intends to hurt Tav in that action his left elbow simultaneously connects with Tavs head. Go on Twitter and freeze frame through the sequence. Tav pushes out an arm to defend himself and the thug connects weakly with Tav again.  Assault every day of the week in Scots Law. No one is suggesting it’s GBH but that’s not the point.

I suppose we will see what the charge is. For me it is not assault as there was no attempt at battery.

Okay I was using the context of the word "confronts" and had not seen the freeze frame actions mentioned and without condoning his action it was in no way as bad as the easily seen attack on the Villa player.
