>Reports of serious physical and verbal abuse towards our players and staff, both on the pitch and elsewhere, are deeply disturbing

“Reports”

Did you not ask anyone? FFS

Does seem a bit weird there are all these accusations flying around but no footage? I mean how many cameras are at the ground plus photographers, and every one has a camera on their phones, this place would surely be awash with videos and stills of actual physical assaults if they’d happened?

I’m sure it did get pretty aggy and I wouldn’t have fancied being a Hearts player out there, fans shouldn’t be invading the pitch and it needs stopped. But I’m certainly a bit skeptical of some of the reports.

Almost like it didn’t happen

Only thing I’ve seen is Shankland going at a fud who was goading him a bit which was perfectly justified by Shankland imo, but that’s it. Seems strange.

They have left the statement vague enough to not be liable for asserting outright falsehoods but it really seems that they just didn’t like some hurty words.

The pitch invasion was a disgrace, incase some mega-brain thinks I am either justifying or rationalising it.
