Celtic supporters solely have caused this entire sorry @ssed situation.
I have followed ICT since the 3rd division and experienced many, many highs and lows over the past 2 decades plus.
We have just reached our first ever Scottish Cup Final. We played better on the day. We merited our victory. Even if we hadn't, and we had won the game with a lucky 89th minute own goal, the fact is we have just reached our first ever Scottish Cup Final. The feeling on Sunday was fantastic, one of the best I've had on my ICT journey - now?...
Now I'm just extremely angry at the whole pathetic shambles your fans have created. A great feeling that should have lasted all week, ruined by your fans because they cannot accept that they were beaten.
Yes - the ref has messed up. Yes - you should have had a penalty.
Was the handball deliberate? Not for a second.
It's quite reasonable to believe that the linesman behind the goal thought the ball had hit Josh in the face/head. And that is what he told the ref immediately.
Either way - he was still wrong.
Unfair decisions have affected every club in Scotland. Every club in Europe. Every club in the world. Yet your fans have to go out complaining it's not fair, and demand something happens.
And what has happened?
- An honest, young player has been thrust into the world media, received disgusting abuse and been made to feel like a cheat. Josh is not a cheat. It was handball - it was not deliberate.
- Our fans are left talking about this pathetic story rather than enjoying a fantastic achievement and an historic day in our clubs journey.
- Scottish football had been made to look even more ridiculous.
And who's caused this?
Your fans. Your club.
Why?
Because you are nothing more than sore losers.
This entire sorry @ssed, pathetic, embarrassment has been caused by your fans and your club.
For years we've seen rangers claim they are too big for Scottish football - and now you're too big to lose in a cup game or to have a bad decision go against you?
Your fans have damaged the perception of your club throughout Scotland and further afield far worse than a bad officiating error has tarnished our game.
So you'll excuse me and many of my fellow football supporters if we don't meekly accept that you were right to do what you've done and if our club stands up for itself this time.
As far as this poster is concerned you can f**k off and leave the rest of us to get on with things - you've caused enough trouble as it is.
I now fully expect a warning or a ban from the mods for this rant. That's a ban that's acceptable and won't be contested.
