I'm on about a kid standing watching at the fence

i'd say stop people celebrating all together - all that jumping about in the east stand is bound to cause someone a staved finger.

Let's be clear here: the deplorable scenes at Easter Road this evening had nothing to do with the police, council or the club, they were due to the appalling behaviour of small but sizeable portion of the Hibs support present. The police and stewards had an obvious duty to close the West and North lower tiers since they were clearly full and a crush would have developed. Howevers, before they could open the upper levels some Hibs 'fans' began attacking the stewards and fire doors and rushing into the ground. I personally saw Hibs supporters prising open Lower Fire Exit 6 on the West Stand. There were 2 stewards behind it, an older stout bloke and a young lad of 18 or 19. The older guy sent the young guy to get police help, he single handedly attempted to stop dozens of fans rushing into the access passageway beyond and was attacked, punched to the ground and given a beating - he required medical attention I believe. I'm sure his family are delighted by our League Cup win tonight.

Meanwhile inside the stadium hundreds of other 'fans' were unable to resist flooding onto the field of play - while many were children a large proportion, maybe as much as half in the first invasion, were adults. Being drunk is no excuse, if anything it makes such events even more pathetic. Were it not for the children involved (following the wonderful example of their parents very possibly) I would have fully supported the police using their full array of methods to quash the crowd trouble.

What I would comment on is that the decision to abandon the stadium tour halfway through was a mistake. It caused the second pitch invasion since the event just 'stopped' instead of petering out; it spurred 50% of the stadium into booing (because they thought the players had decided to stop); and it spoiled the evening for those responsible supporters who occupied the West upper tier and both South tiers (including myself). Young children were in tiers leaving the South stand upper.

While none of this should overshadow the momentous nature of this day in Hibs history, those involved in the above events should be highly ashamed of their behaviour, which might very well soil the reputation of our great club gained today.

Any fans arrested in the ground tonight should receive 5 year ban from Easter Road.

wow. thank feck that after a day of standing on trains and standing at the game I decided to go home, having recently hurt my back and needing to rest it. that sounds horrendous, especially the steward getting beaten up. sad way to end a great day.

From the front row of the South upper I counted around 400-500 people at least, at the height of the second pitch invasion. And one dog in a body warmer...... The Rock Steady steward I was talking with estimated rougly the same. I then left as they were clearing the tier to divert resources to the East (I think they feared people refusing to leave, or giving them the run around) on police orders I believe.

The situation at Albion Road junction was ridiculous, and was probably a bit dangerous as well, both the crush of people going down the pavements around the barrier wall, and the parked lorries covered in fans (many doing the Hibees Bounce...) shouldn't have been there. The police also blockaded Bothwell Street - why? The crowd was so stagnant by the police box at Albion Road I thought it was entirely blocked, only when I looped back 20 mins later did I get around to stadium.

And why was admittance by pouring through fire exits, and not through turnstiles?

My memory is that the second pitch invasion only occurred after the whole event was pulled. I did see the dog you mentioned n all

to me, it sounds like the police dealt with this terribly (the stuff outside the stadium, and the steward beaten up).

violence is never excusable - but is always preventable if the police take a sensible approach to the proceedings.

the neds involved in the beating/violence should be banned perminently.

anyone who wanted to be on the pitch was on it. everyone was happy...except the police and that twats who booed it.

if the police hadn't over reacted and let the players complete the lap of honour the story would have been...

no harm done.

end of story.

Idiot.

The police will end any event if there is ANY threat to safety, note the use of the word ANY!!!

surely they should close the east stand every time we score against the OF/hearts? i've taken a few knocks there...

I boo-ed am i a twat???

no...but i'd say you're boo-ing was twattish behaviour.

just my opinion mind

I got a lovely Citylink coach to Glasgow, and stood on the train out. Went the wrong way around Hampden but was OK, my seat was adjacent to a handrail which blocked a corner of the pitch, was right at the back of the train queue coming out of Hampden, and got a freezing clattering scrapbucket of a Citylink double decker back, with a guidedog nibbling at my trainers for half the journey (don't ask.........).

But it was all worth it because it was a great game and a great atmosphere with great supporters of a great club. Got off bus on Princes Street, grabbed a McDonalds, saw open top bus tour (it did go pretty fast didn't it?) at Leith Street-London Road junction, night going fine, walked to Albion Road and from then on the night went downhill. And the reason was flimsy organisation by council and police exacerbated by the appalling behaviour of certain militant elements of our support.

I also hope the club privately apologise to the stewards who were attacked/injured.

**Purple & Green** · 19-03-07, 01:21

What time were people in ER at?

What time did the team turn up at?

I reckon that it was 9:30+ before the team turned up, and folk had been there since 7:00.....

**Owen** · 19-03-07, 01:25

Surely a clever thing to do is let us season ticket holders have a small parade at ER on tuesday night. With paying customers on the wednesday?

Got the turnstile locked on me but got person behind me to put his hand through window and press button for turnstile. Got in!

i heard there was a dog running about wearing last season's away top. same dog or was there more than one clothed dog at ER? and since when did dogs start wearing clothes anyway?
