First I'll start with the game itself. We were terrible, Hibs thoroughly deserved the win, I have no complaints, we did not turn up and our defensives frailties were exposed again. Kiernan is an absolute bombscare and Tavernier is not good enough for the SPL. He was roasted all game by Stokes following on from him being roasted away to Falkirk in March. The manager has shown that he is not willing to change his tactics or set up, even when it is obvious our game plan isn’t working, so I feel we need a better RB, one who can do the job of defending first and foremost. I am more than happy for Tav to play as a winger but not as a RB. The only player who got pass marks for me on Saturday was Kenny Miller. He is a class act and scored a brilliant header. He is my player of the year and imo should be our number 1 striker to begin next season with. I seen Stokes applaud him for personally going into the Hibs dressing room and congratulating all their players I hope Kenny is inducted into our HOF in the coming years. he's earned it. I am happy for Allan Stubbs, he is a decent guy and has done very well with Hibs. Apart from his awful attempts at mind games, I quite like him. I think Saturday will ensure he is snapped up by a Bolton or some other English team.
To the farce after full time. I can understand why Hibs fans ran on the park. 114 years, the slaggings, Hibsed it etc. We done it at pittodrie in 87, Celtic done it when they stopped u winning 10iar etc. The difference is, on those occasions listed, Rangers fans didn’t attack Aberdeen players and Celtic fans didn’t attack St Johnstone players. We went to hug our own. I was in the north stand and thousands of Hibs fans first thought was not to run to the players who are now Hibs legends but charge towards the Rangers end and attempt to punch, kick and spit on Rangers players. They acted like fooking animals, and I have no problem with the Rangers fans who did go on the park to confront them, given that Police Scotland were too busy filming the Rangers fans and searching for smoke bombs. They failed big time to protect Rangers players and staff, they are paid enough for the privilege of sitting on their ar$es for most of a game and letting £7 an hour stewards deal with the fans for most things, No ring of police or stewards surrounded either set of fans prior to final whistle, which always happens in a big game, regardless of the score. A complete failure on PS part and I hope the Match Commander is fooking hammered for it. I had a quick glance on here when I arrived home earlier today and seen some of you making light hearted jokes about Rangers players being in intensive care etc, just remember you are the same hypocritical priqs who had meltdowns when John Wilson attacked Neil Lennon.
The Rangers response, superb statement and one which I am not surprised hasn’t gone down well with the tims and others especially that fat bastird Tom English and Mrs Doubtfire lookalike Spiers. For years, under Murray, Rangers operated a "dignified silence", imo it caused untold damage as hacks like Spiers could write anything they wanted about Rangers and Rangers fans knowing they would never be held accountable for their content. Only when Murray himself was slated, did any form of comms or PR kick in. Thankfully that mind-set is now being tossed in the bin. I personally think people, including some Rangers fans, have become so accustomed to Rangers being lily livered in situations like this, they don’t know how to react. Some of you will claim it's embarrassing, that’s fine, I'd like to see how you would expect your club to react had that happened to your players. Some have queried why the first minister was personally named, why? Well within an hour she was tweeting praise for Hibs and how happy she was for her husband, she clearly had her finger on the pulse……. Compare that to 2011 in the midst of Neil Lennon and Ally McCoist having a bit of handbags after a SC game, within the hour, the first minister, Alex Salmond issued a statement implying that an investigation would be started and that a summit will be held, the same summit which led to the OBAFA. One that Hibs fans have ensured will never be binned and that we will never be allowed to have a drink at the game.
I said it earlier, I personally have no problem with the Rangers fans who did go on to park to confront the Hibs fans, extreme provocation and witnessing our players being assaulted caused many to snap, a few Hibs fans getting sparked out cold was good to see. However, these guys need to be prepared for the likely conviction and banning order that will come their way.

Singing is rightly being downplayed in comparison to players being attacked on pitch
One happens every single week. I can't remember the last time there was several players attacked by rival fans in the pitchin Scotland. Can you? Anybody?
Have you never heard thesayingsticks and stones pointy?

I rarely come on here these days but I like to think I am even handed and fair so here it is
1. The Hibs fans understandably invaded the pitch in memory of a glorious victory. High jinks - nothing more
2. Wes Foderingham started it buy gesturing and shouting at the hibs fans who, to a man, were approaching the pitch in an orderly fashion. As far as I can see from the video footage he threatened a fan. Said fans friend pushed him in an act of self defence. Foderingham then threatened a steward who was trying to diffuse the situation. Disgrace
3. Lee Wallace was sitting on his haunches spitting all over the turf when confronted about his disgusting behaviour by a young hibs supporter. While the supporter was a little over zealous, I think we can all agree that spitting is disgusting and that Wallace was out of order
4. Mark Warburton, having discarded his hat, kicked out at a hibs player in the technical area when he was simply celebrating. Common assault. Throw the book at him
5. The rangers fans sh@t it directly as a result of being liquidated and no longer the same club

It's not the only thing being used when it suits people pointy, that's for sure.
I'll leave it there cos we are going round in circles.
