Rowbotham hit by coin at Tynie

Last updated : 15 April 2005 By Brian Hine
It has been reported that Referee John Rowbotham was struck on the head by a coin during Wednesday night's Hibernian win in the Edinburgh derby at Tynecastle.
Rowbotham reported the incident to police after Hibs' 2-1 victory and
three coins were later found on the pitch close to the Wheatfield and
Roseburn stands.

This is the part of the pitch were the Hibs players were celebrating their second goal against their local rivals and it doesn't take to much grey matter to work out where the said coins came from IMO, Though Police said viewing of the CCTV tapes had proved inconclusive and that
the incident had been reported to the SFA.
Mr Rowbotham was thankfully not injured in this latest incident.
