Blame Game
Here's another good article on the fall-out from the Scottish Cup Final between Hibs and Rangers last weekend.
As Gordon Waddell pointed out in the Sunday Mail, rather than facing up to the behaviour of the fans on the day the whole nasty business is turning into a blame game.

Hibs and Rangers on the Scottish Cup Final blame game: Gordon Waddell latest column
BY GORDONWADDELL - Sunday Mail
SUNDAY MAIL’S chief sportswriter on the continued blame-game over the fans who invaded Hampden after last week’s Scottish Cup final.
SO much heat, so little light. A week later and the Scottish Cup Final fallout is getting worse, not better.
No containment. Only blame dispersal from an industrial-sized PR blower, irrespective of right or wrong.
It’s been poisonous, hate-filled, he-said-she-said effluvia fuelled by people who should know better and, worse, those who weren’t even there.
So we might as well clear up where we are and where we might be going. Get a few facts straight, since that’s the thing people seem to be struggling with the most.
Maybe then we can all start moving towards reasoned outcomes instead of being deluged by dogma.
The Cause: None of it happens if Hibs fans don’t invade the park at Hampden. None.
