Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Goalkeeper Mark Brown lamented Hibernian's own failures and refused to point the finger of blame at referee Craig Thomson after Saturday's 5-1 Scottish Cup final loss against Hearts.
Hibs were frustrated at a number of decisions from Thomson, who awarded Hearts and second half penalty and sent off Pa Kujabi. Manager Pat Fenlon was also sent to the stand for an offensive gesture.
Brown said: "People had problems with the penalty decision. But I don't think we can blame the referee for our performance from the start. Hearts started well and, at times, passed us off the park.
"You could say the penalty was a big decision that changed the game, but overall I don't think we were good enough as a team."
