Inch Hearts Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Manager celebrates a disallowed goal in the last minute and deserves to get coins chucked at him aye? If that was Craig he would be a wind up merchant hero. Lennons a complete weapon but he done sod all wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 1 hour ago, iantjambo said: Absolutely I hope every single “fan” from both sides who were guilty of violence of any kind are weeded out and banned by both clubs, however I sincerely hope Lennon is also called upon to explain his actions. Yes, he gets it stinking from Hearts fans, much more than any other manager gets but you can’t incite the crowd like that in what is already a powder keg. And now Lennon's taking the moral high ground: People will say I was winding the crowd up; I wasn't. I was just giving a bit back for the abuse I was taking for 90 minutes. Anyone seeing him moments before being struck knows he was winding up the crowd. It's what any of us would have done had the roles been reversed. However, when you're a manager of a football team, in the environment he was in last night and with the history he has, there's a responsibility to behave in a certain way. I repeat - his behaviour, as reckless as it was, did not deserve anyone getting hit but there's no doubt in my mind that it was idiotic and directly resulted in the coin being thrown. Once again with Lennon, it's all about him. His actions could have resulted in anyone in his vicinity being hit by that coin. The outcome could have been far worse. So while he doesn't take the blame, as such, he should recognise that he has been responsible for inflaming the situation. I won't hold my breath - he hasn't the intelligence to work any of that out for himself. He wouldn't even understand it if he was given three hours to read it over and over. 1 hour ago, Selkirkhmfc1874 said: The guy took dogs abuse for 90mins and turns round to give bit back But he should know that he shouldn't do that. 39 minutes ago, scb1006 said: The coin thrower stooped to below Lennon's level last night and brought the club into disrepute. This is an excellent way to put it. Lennon operates at a low, scummy level. The coin thrower managed to limbo lower than that. Not only has the coin thrower been an utter spunknugget, he's deflected attention from Lennon's own spunknuggetry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambo85 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I dont like how this is all being reported this morning. The news seems to be focusing on Leenon getting hit in the chest with a coin rather than our goalkeeper getting punched by a Hibs fan. The amount of coins and lighters that were getting thrown at Bobby too was ridiculous. Lennon will take the headlines though after his wee dive in the dugout.

John Findlay Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 The coin thrower is a complete idiot and deserves all he/she gets. Neil Lennon. If he had said an object struck me in the chest(which it did)and the thrower is bang out of order. Then all right thinking peoples would agree and be with him. But, no he made a dramatic fall and pretended he was hurt. Then claimed afterwards it hit him on the chin. Which is an outright lie. He does himself no favours whatsoever with his own behaviour. The media should call him out on it but won't because of who he has played and managed previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Lennon knew exactly what he was doing, his team were under the cosh, looking like losing a goal, he runs out and goads Hearts fans and goes down like he's been leathered when the coin CLEARLY hits him nowhere near his face, and decides to YET AGAIN make it all about him being the poor victim, coin throwing shouldn't be condoned, but Lennon is scum who deliberately wasted time to drag a point out of that game. I wouldn't be surprised if he knew the focus would be on Zlamal being punched as well, and it was a double whammy for him. If Levein ever acted like that and went down clutching his face when nothing touched him, I'd be majorly embarrassed. The SFA need to punish Lennon as in my book he's absolutely brought the game into disrepute with his actions, the man is unhinged! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy got absolute dogs abuse for 90mins You have never been a linesman then? Whether you or I like it or not its the norm for football matches If officials,players managers reacted to the abuse they receive then the game would have to be stopped before it got started. I have never known a manager of another club to create such hostility in our fans. I hope that the mindless idiot who threw the coin is caught and punished severely. The thing that angers me is that Tyncastle is our home.Its our place,our fans our community and we have Lennon goading and provoking and playacting to bring trouble onto our club.He knew exactly what he was doing.It is not right.

However, if you are going to be a big man and goad 6,000 fans who have just seen a goal chopped off in the last minute in and Edinburgh football derby you deserve everything you get.

Don Dan Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Not with standing the idiocy of the coin thrower. Lennon through is over acting to being hit caused undue alarm to his staff, others around him and quite possibly thousands of viewers. That act is totally reprehensible. I hope when he reflects back on his behaviour he might feel silly and embarrassed. I doubt he will though. I also feel that those whom he alarmed and upset will now look at him and wonder why do that to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambopilms Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 If you were in a pub goading folk like that you would expect a smack. The fact he is a football manager and has been in football many years means he knows how he should behave but can’t control himself. Fairly sure he was pulled up for this against rangers recently. Funny he can’t seem to control himself against us or rangers but yet other Celtic minded player/ managers come and go with no problems. He has a duty to not instigate crowd problems. The crowd has a duty not to throw stuff at Neil Lennon. Fail and fail . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the Complisnce Officer will offer him a 2 game ban for inciting the fans or his embarrassing simulation? Reminded me of Rivaldo at the World Cup. Lennon didn’t deserve to be hit by a coin and it’s scummy and cowardly behaviour to do that. However, his behaviour provoked the reaction, there’s no question of that. At the other end, Bobby was just quietly going about his job, minding his own business and gets a punch in the coupon for his trouble! What goes through people’s minds?
