Friday joke

BLOGGER Jamie Montgomery questions why nothing was done when Hibs players were bombarded with rolled-up paper on Wednesday and whether the SFA will do anything about it.

So, having accepted defeat on the field, I have to turn my attentions to the gross incompetence of the Rangers staff, stewards and Police Scotland at Ibrox.


The constant missile throwing from the home support was nothing short of abysmal. This is a club that the SFA are moving heaven and hell to try and get back to the top tier yet their fans seem to be stuck in a timewarp. How anyone in the game can think it's acceptable to throw any kind of missile at players is beyond me.

You can't stop a rogue radge throwing something on the pitch, I get that. But for the same person, quickly joined by all his mates, to be allowed to do it for ninety minutes was unbelievable.

Let me get this straight, it did not affect the result. But it affected Hibs players trying to take corners and goal kicks. That's not acceptable. When nothing was done to stop it, I was genuinely stunned. It was almost as if it was being treated as a bit of a laugh by police and stewards.

At one point all ball boys/girls, and indeed spare footballs, were also posted missing as the home support played keepie-uppie in the stand. I don't think the club displayed any sporting behaviour throughout the match. An intimidating crowd and a great atmosphere is great for the game and is one thing, but Wednesday was a step too far. I can't and won't defend it if the same happens at Easter Road as a result.

I've no doubt Rangers will get some minor slap on the wrist from the SFA, however, that does not stop the decay which is set in with the bricks and mortar at the Rangers.

Even handballs are acceptable if you play in blue as Haris Vuckic would agree.


Fit & Proper..????? Sporting integrity..?????
