Blair Spittal and Billy McKay both missed spot kicks as Hibs ran out 4-2 winners in a penalty shootout after the match had finished goalless at Hampden Park. McKay was also guilty of wasting a number of goal scoring opportunities in the match and, although Hibs missed a first-half penalty through Jason Cummings, Paatelainen says his side deserved to go through the final based on the number of chances created. Jason Cummings rued missing a penalty in normal time but crucially scored the winner Im totally gutted for the boys because for the vast majority of the match we controlled the game, said the 49-year-old Finn, who also acknowledged the performance of Hibs debut keeper Conrad Logan.We were the better team, we passed the ball and created great goal scoring opportunities so in the end to lose it after penalties is really disappointing. Highlights from Hampden Park as Hibernian took on Dundee United for a place in the Scottish Cup final But if you dont score then you cant win and thats been the story of the season. Weve passed the ball well, weve dominated matches but if youre one-on-one with the goalkeeper three times youd like to think at least one goes in the net, but all credit to their goalkeeper that they didnt.United, who are eight points adrift at the bottom of the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership, continue their fight against relegation next Sunday at home to Hamilton.

Stephanie Mateczun, whose company manages the Buffalo Jills cheerleading squad, said Thursday she has suspended operations through at least the end of the season. The decision was made two days after five former Jills filed a lawsuit complaining they worked hundreds of hours for free, and were subjected to groping and sexual comments. The civil action was filed in state Supreme Court and seeks unspecified back pay and legal fees. It names Mateczuns company, Stejon Productions Corp., the Bills, and the Jills former manager, Citadel Communications Co., as defendants. Stejon took over managing the cheerleaders in 2011. Mateczun is in the process of hiring legal representation, and declined further comment. The Bills have been made aware of the Jills decision to suspend operations, but otherwise declined comment. Lawyer Frank Dolce, who represents the five cheerleaders, said the decision to suspend operations wont affect his case because it addresses past complaints. Dolce, however, did question Mateczuns motives, saying her decision to suspend the squad was unnecessary. "If they cease operations, they will blame the lawsuit for the destruction of the Jills, when that was not intended at all," Dolce said, noting there is not much money at stake in the lawsuit. "We love the Bills. We love the Jills," he said. "We do not love the travesty of its management that has occurred over the last few years." According to the Buffalo Jills Alumni website, the squad was formed inn 1967, eight years after the Bills were established as founding members of the American Football League. Martin Perez Jersey. In 1986, the Bills relinquished managing the cheerleaders to private companies. Cheerleaders have launched similar suits against the Oakland Raiders and Cincinnati Bengals. The case against the Bills claims the Jills are wrongly classified as independent contractors and subjected to policies that violate the states $8 per hour minimum wage law and other workplace rules. The Jills arent paid for games or practices and have to make 20-35 appearances, most of which are unpaid, at community and charity events each season, the lawsuit said. On top of that, they have to pay $650 for their uniforms and are not reimbursed for travel or other expenses, the cheerleaders said. All five cheerleaders said they had to take a "jiggle test" so that Mateczun, Stejons president, could assess their physiques. And Mateczun, they said, controlled everything from their hair and nail polish colour to what they could post on Facebook. The time and expense, as well as rules governing their personal lives, far exceeded what they signed on for, the women said. Dolce and his clients hope their legal action leads to policy changes within the Bills organization that ensure future cheerleaders are paid and treated better. "A decision to disband the Jills as an entity is a tremendous mistake for community spirit," Dolce said. "We do not feel bad that Stejon Productions has ceased operations. We think thats a good thing. We just hope the Bills dont trivialize the Jills because of the poor management of them."
