I would support Hibs withdrawing from next years SFA cup
I wanted to sleep on this and I feel the same today, so here goes.
Last night was not sport. It was a rigged contest, a waste of everyone's time & money. The SFA will only act when there is a full blown crisis (and not before). They are equal parts complacent & complicit.
So here's my 2 point plan
1) I'd support Hibs in announcing we will withdraw from next years Scottish Cup, as the officiating makes it a rigged competition. Its our 150th year next year but we need to use our voice to plunge the cosy governing body into crisis, or else nothing changes.
2. I would support Hibs directors, writing to Rangers directors & the SFA, to say that the Rangers supports behaviour is unacceptable to such a serious degree that in future Rangers directors are now on notice - rangers directors will be held personally responsible & liable to prosecution if there are any sectarian chants from their support, in our 21st century European home.
It is an extension of the principle of clubs being fined for "failure to control their staff"
Hold Rangers directors personally liable. Prosecute them when it happens
Clean the extremist element out of our gane & out of our city
Create a crisis by withdrawing from next years tournament on grounds we have no confidence in the integrity of the officiating - a rigged sport.
And be the change we all want to see
