The Apprentice Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I take it he's just totally ignoring the conduct of his own fans the other night then? Michael Smith was pelted at after that scuffle with Boyle and I don't see him coming out playing the racist card. The attitude towards Lennon is built around the fact the guy is an absolute walloper. And that's not just specific to us. Off the top of my head, he's now had a physical go at both McCoist and Jim Duffy, the GIRFUY gesture and cupping ears at Ibrox, the run on to the pitch last season and now his antics the other night.

Jamie86 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 2 hours ago, jambo19 said: One of the tricolours beside the main stand had One Neil Lennon with his face on it. The fact their supporters are using him and the Irish flag to goad and wind up Hearts supporters would suggest it plays a small part, given these flags are brought by the minority but still brought nonetheless. If anyone can get wound up by Neil Lennons face on a tri-colour then they have problems. I don't like Neil Lennon because of they way he conducts himself, how he speaks in the media and because he is the Hibs manager, not because he is Irish or Catholic. I didn't like Alan Stubbs, Pat Fenlon, Tony Mowbray, Calderwood etc all because they managed Hibs, nothing to do with religion or where they are from. If this attack was anything to do with him being Irish, why wait until the 1st minute to throw a coin? He was as Irish in the 1st minute as he was in the 91st. And no, I don't condone the coin throwing, just making the point that it wasn't new information in the 91st minute that he is Irish or Catholic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brunoatemyhamster Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) 28 minutes ago, DVB said: Now there is effigies of hanging him apparently but he doesn’t play the victim. Neil Lennon believes he suffers anti-Catholic "racism" in Scotland and says there was an effigy depicting him being hanged at Tynecastle during Wednesday's Edinburgh derby. The Hibernian head coach was struck by a coin during his team's goalless draw after celebrating a disallowed Hearts goal. Lennon suggested some observers had blamed him for "bringing it on myself" by "goading people", which he described as a "pretty poor" argument. "You call it sectarianism here in Scotland, I call it racism," Lennon said. "If a black man is abused, you're not just abusing the colour of his skin - you're abusing his culture, heritage, his background. "It's the exact same when I get called a Fenian, a pauper, a beggar, a tarrier. These people have a sense of entitlement, or a superiority complex, and all I do is stand up for myself. "I got hit by a coin in the face by someone in the crowd. Not happy with some of the comments that have come out after. People should know better. "Pretty poor, all this, 'I was goading people, I brought it on myself'. There was an effigy at Tynecastle saying, 'hang Neil Lennon', that was before the game. "Did I bring that on myself? You're all saying no, because you're right minded people, you're decent people. "So this has got to stop. Everyone says I play the victim - I don't." He doesn't even know hes doing it in this statement. The man is retarded. 100% mental ill.

This is lifted directly from the BBC article below: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46073396 Seriously, did anyone, anywhere see an effigy depicting Neil Lennon hanging on Wednesday anywhere at Tynecastle? I'm sure if this were the case it would have been debated to death by now. Well that is just a blatant lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennon said the effigy of him outside Tynecastle before the match resembled something the Ku Klux Klan would participate in. He said: "That effigy outside the ground before the game is sectarian or racist. "Hanging people with something the Ku Klux Klan did in the 1960s - maybe that's the mentality of the people who want to write this stuff." The KKK hung gingers???
