HibsFan

Anyone who wants any other outcome has not been following Scottish football for longer than 5 minutes.

As StellarHibee described.

This is something that h*ns do, btw.

It says a lot about our players that nobody appealed it, it was fucking blatant and arguably a red card since the ball was as good as in without Coulson saving it. We don’t have players with the mentality/wherewithal to appeal for it, or indeed a player to step up confidently and dispatch it.

Get fucking doon.

It’s like someone put the May 2018 game at Pittodrie on and stuck it in rewind.

Three sets of supporters singing Hearts are falling apart again at once?

Glad to see they've called it Once in a Lifetime, must have known that Oneoffenburg is the intellectual property of HibsFan.

What time will be the nauseating Oneoffenburg pre-match celebrations be done by, so I can take my seat in the ground without having to witness any of it?

All that hard work put into this season four nothing.

Your pain will never cease, our joy will never end. You achieved the get doon part about four years ago to this day. None of us thought you’d achieve the stay doon part quite this well. Oh Lolkirk.

You're on Pie and Bovril mate. We can all see it. I've celebrated throw ins more than this.

I have never seen "going through the motions" quite like this Celtic end.

You must have me confused with Tactics Tam.

Sorry lads, if you fancy taking something off Hearts in revenge then we’d love it. Stmurnian forever.

Who knew that “give it to Fletch and let him con the referee for a penalty” had diminishing returns as a tactic for manager Jim Goodwin? Certainly not me!

Resigned myself to the Shaughnessy equaliser already.

God I love this league. Proper football.

This isn't meant as a dig at anyone in particular, but something from the "Conference League" thread made me think about a wider point in Scottish football. It's a feeling that I find myself coming round to more and more as bad decision after bad decision is made by those running the game in Scotland. Take a look at just this season, for example: VAR introduced with virtually zero consultation of supporters Ticket prices raised again all over the country, not least for the semi finals (£38 for a Falkirk - Inverness CT seat in the North Stand) More Lowland League shenanigans and outright bribery to keep the colt teams in Only for that not to be enough because here comes the Conference League The general existence of Viaplay Even down to the minor things such as moving the Scottish Cup final from a 3pm kickoff to appease the TV companies St Johnstone's £30 cup tickets and whoring out three sides of their stadium despite fans' protests And for every one of these decisions, I've raged about it on here, I've written to Hibs about a couple of them, I've actively stopped putting money into the club. But for what? There are malevolent forces within the running of Scottish football who care about nothing other than furthering the inequality and extracting more money from every possible corner. GreenGray makes a good point in some ways, is it better just to sit back serenely and admit defeat on fighting it? I and others get angry but it's not productive. Although, as somebody pointed out, the 2012 Rangers debacle showed that the boardroom do listen to us on occasion; if the threat of closed wallets is there. So my question to everyone is: how do we counter this sense of apathy in Scottish football and fight back, like we did in 2012? I am reminded of @craigkillie, who I'm pretty sure once talked about the need for some sort of Scottish Football Union for supporters. We have one of the highest attendances per capita and a TV deal that, at some level, needs fans in the grounds to drum up interest. Does the average Scottish supporter have a lot more power than they realise? My theory on this is that we as the working / middle class are being ground down in every facet of life: fighting for fairer pay, fairer working conditions, even in other parts of football having to fight against stupid things like the Super League. I just do not think I have the energy to fight another front against people who are, putting it generously, incompetent and, perhaps more accurately, trying their best just to line the pockets of a select few investors and stakeholders. Anyway, incredibly long-winded post. So I've stuck a couple of polls in there too for good measure.

Ah, it just never stops being funny does it?

Commiserations Bairns. Unfortunately once a side goes 3-0 up in a Scottish Cup semi final, there’s only going to be one winner.

If you open the door to “the ref missed it” then the moonhowlers will not stop there. From the very start, pundits, managers, referees and fans should have been told to grow up and accept that mistakes happen sometimes and it fundamentally does not matter. Instead we have mistakes being made twice over and the joy being sapped out of attending a live football match in the flesh.

It's against Hibs, of course it will.
