Fuck this bridge building pish 

[mrmojorisin 13,613]

This is all yer gonna get from those spineless bastards on our board

 

Absolute cowards if they do not actively pursue this 

 

 

[Bears r us 30,794]

I said in the other thread I thought the board would put out some kind of statement by 10pm tonight, seems I got that wrong.

Well what the fuck are you on about then.

That we need to put it behind us and move on.  The Police have made plenty of arrests some of whom are Rangers fans.  The clubs stance is that nothing more could've been done by them and the SFA are leaving it at that.  What is it you want from the board?

Let Hibs away with it. 

Warburton gets charged with calling the ref a disgrace or something, yet they get away with that.

Board should challenge them to fuck.

[Escobar 13,676]

Waiting for the board to make a statement.

Fucking laughable.

Hibs have paid for the damages to the Hampden pitch.  Over 75 fans have been arrested for individual offences on the day.  What do you want a statement from our board to say?  You want our board to make accusations against the SFA and Hibs to what end? 

[To Be A Ranger 4,032]

Plenty of name calling to the board on this thread but what do you expect them to do.  At the most all they can do is put out a statement saying how disappointed they are. There's nothing else to be done unless you want to start shouting about boycotts etc but that's just ridiculous.

Na, we both got the same punishment, it's the same as Motherwell, invade pitch try and clash with other fans on the pitch, fuck all done about that. 

We get complained about to fuck about songs yet fuck all about the pitch invasions etc.

Okay so you want Rangers and Hibs to be punished.  What should both clubs be punished with?  What should the punishments be?  The clubs said there isn't anymore they could've done.  You have proof this isn't the case?

If they had a spine, they would serve notice to withdraw from the SC, but we all know they don't and money is their God.

We aren't much better, as we should be demanding they do so, if we had any principles. We makes ourselves look like spineless greeting faced wanes giving it large and doing fuck all,  so is it any wonder that that our haters have a feeding frenzy at our expense as they all know there will be no consequences in doing so..

Now pray explain if you can be ersed, on how it's ridiculous to serve notice on withdrawing from the SC?

Rangers fans were on the pitch too and some even got arrested.  You think there's more our club could've done to prevent that?

If we withdraw from the Scottish Cup the SFA could revoke our footballing licence and kick us out of Scottish Football.

No when there's hundreds/thousands of other fans running toward you and disabled fans feel in danger.

Both sets of fans ran on the pitch and caused offences albeit Hibs fans ran on first and in greater number.  Do you think the clubs could've done more to prevent this?  As far as I'm aware Policing the final isn't the responsibility of either club.

Them to fight our corner they have done nothing but roll over, should Rangers players not be safe at their work? should Rangers supporters not be safe going to matches.?

Were you at the Cup Final.?

[Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312]

You know something?  I couldn't give a fuck what the board might say about this.

I'm more interested in them stating where new investment is coming from (as promised ) and when?

Rangers have already made a statement regarding the safety of players and fans.  You want them to make that statement again? 

Saftey is a Police issue and todays statement wasn't about that.  The SFA ruled that the clubs couldn't have done anymore to prevent fans running on to the pitch and committing offences which seems reasonable.  Some took it upon themselves to commit crime and the Police have delt with those individuals as best they can with plenty being arrested.

You do have a point, because that is the big picure.

After the scum's performance tonight, we have plenty catching up to do and it won't be with this squad.

Double standards that's what our board should be asking of the SFA.

The board should be raising the question as to why there has been no investigation into the attacks on Rangers players.

Both the SFA and the SPL through Doncaster and Regan had plenty to say when Lennon was jumped on at Tynecastle,More importantly it was an SPL game but didn't stop the SFA becoming involved.

The Scottish cup final falls under the SFA and yet Doncaster from the SPFL had absolutely nothing to say in regards to Rangers players being attacked on the pitch and neither did Regan... But both had started an investigation on the very night of the Lennon incident.

The board can easily ask why was there no investigation and point to the Lennon incident.

There has been investigations in to those attacks on Rangers players.  In fact, I'm pretty sure the Police has arrested a number of them.  When Lennon was attacked the Police arrested the guy who done it and, quite rightly, did not punish Hearts for his actions of that individual fan.  Regan has had something to say, he condemned the actions of those fans who ran on the pitch and committed offences:

Chief executive Stewart Regan said the Scottish Football Association was "appalled by the scenes of disorder and the contemptible behaviour" after the Scottish Cup final and that a full investigation, carried out along with Police Scotland, would begin. 

Regan said: "The Scottish FA is appalled by the scenes of disorder on the field immediately after full-time and at the contemptible behaviour that ensued. What should have been an historic, memorable Scottish Cup final will now, sadly, be remembered for all the wrong reasons.

Police Scotland and the stadium management initiated a Crisis Liaison Group as soon as the disorder began and we thank them for containing the situation as quickly as possible.

Investigating criminal acts is a matter for the Police, not football clubs.  There's nothing more either club could've done to prevent fans from running on to the pitch.

You are talking some shite were you at the game and did you witness what went on ? You seem happy Rangers supporters got done as well.

You seem to be sucking the Sfa cock here metaphorically speaking off course.

Seems like a severe case of cutting off one's nose to spite one's face. Let's say we withdraw from the cup. Do we ever go back into it? When? When Hibs are punished? How much punishment are we looking for?

It's a fuck up by the SFA. They are the spineless bastards, not the board. All the club can do is show their displeasure. I'll be very surprised if we pull out of the cup, and after all it's another source of income that the club could do with.
