indianajones Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Why are folk arguing the obvious? Don't throw coins at a football game. Neil Lennon isn't a model professional. Thread summed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Findlay Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 The coin hit him in the chest. Hope the idiot who threw it gets a lifetime ban from Tynecastle. Lennon play acted. He won't get cited. He plays a good victim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil lennon is an arsehole we agree on that but he didn't deserve that. If that happened to levein at easter road we would be in uproar so the fact is he has been assaulted and people are trying to defend the person that done this is a joke - no place at tynecastle for that behaviour. Why would normal people with young children encourage their children to support hearts and take them to games to watch aresholes do that? How do you want the next generation to support the club. We always talk about the filth from the west but when we are are doing those thing ourselves....... simple application of cause and effect means it is highly improbable it would happen to Levein at eater road. Two completely different characters. I think we'd be in shock rather than uproar. I don't see anybody trying to defend the individual - posters seem to be expecting them to be banned.

And by the way how is this any different from Naisy's celebration in front of Aberdeen fans, or Lafferty's in front of Celtic. There is no excuse or mitigation for this assault. None. He went out of his way to goad fans and he manufactured a situation where the perpetrator becomes the victim. And he will say it wasn't his fault. He's very clever and he's very good at it.

It’s the task of a manager to rise above goading from the crowd, not to respond. No one should be chucking coins at him but he should act with more class. The guy is complete scum. He couldn't spell class never mind act with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Dee Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Can see the compliance officer offering him a 2 match ban for diving. ? Folded quicker than a deck chair. Genuinely, would like the police/club to spend a lot more time scouring CCTV, to identify any and all fans involved in violent behaviour, or throwing objects (BOTH sets of supporters). There should be zero tolerance towards any disorder within the ground. Lennon has been warned previously about his behaviour, & hopefully will be severely punished.

dukebox Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 He incited the crowd but it's football. You can argue he gets paid a decent wedge and is in a privileged position and therefore deserves what he gets. However in a civilised society nobody should be assaulted doing their job. They guy is a nob but surely riling up the opposition whether a manger or player is all part of the job - we do it - they do it and that's what makes it exciting otherwise it would be boring. I do not like the guy in the slightest but any arsehole that turns to throwing a coin deserves to be banned. The majority of people dont have that reaction - does that not say something about that "special individual" that done it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toggie88 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 · Quote 21m Neil Lennon visibly shaken by tonight’s coin attack at Tynecastle: “We had a minute’s ****ing silence for five people who died in Leicester, to show respect, and then we get this. Where do those thoughts, those condolences, go? No respect, and I demand respect.” Anyone throwing anything at a footballer, manager or anyone doing their job is bang out of order. But, how dare he talk about respect when he undoubtedly antagonised the situation and shows none the other way. Show some respect yourself before you start demanding it from people you goad at every opportunity and clear have none for in return. Sorry, I was going to come on here to slate the thrower of the coin but just read his comments and had me fuming. I’ve never been huge Levein fan, but the class and professionalism shown from him in comparison to Lennon is different leagues. Immediately over to check if Lennon was ok and tried to calm the Hearts fans down - you think Lennon would have done that had the roles been reversed? He would’ve been straight at the ref going on about time wasting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomuzz Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I was sitting only 10 yards or so away, and something struck him in the face for sure. I was convinced it was a lighter but you don’t seem to see it on the tv pictures. Looked bigger and black in real life, but maybe I’m seeing things. 100% hit him in the face. Idiocy. But as people have said, turning round and goading the fans for a good 10 seconds or so was not helping matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Dan Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) Not condoning the coin thrower but Lennon has a knack of winding up people to the point where he’s ether fighting them or on the receiving end of a fist, coin or a bullet through the mail. You’d think he’d realise that what ever he is doing to cause these reactions must be addressed.

queensferryjambo Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Lennon is a dick and his goading of the Hearts fans after the goal was chalked off was incredibly dickish. Still doesn't deserve to be hit by a coin though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does the shame wear away after a while? ? I once went to a Newcastle v Man U game and they were throwing hundreds of filed pennies ( old type) and serrated large fruit can tops ( like frisbees). It was standard practice to go to the game with a huge wool coat to pull over your head. I still saw lots of cut heads and faces. That was long ago. Throwing coins is now very old fashioned! Bad as it was Lennon was acting, NEVER touched his face. He used it a to winde down the clock. Dallas had a shocker, was a goal but no sending off in my view.

Jodami Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Lennon is obviously a complete arse but once again we have shot ourselves in the foot here. Instead of footage of him goading the crowd after one of their fans had punched a player an idiot throws a coin at him and changes the landscape in an instant. It really doesn't matter where it hit him, do people not understand that? This is after everyone has been 100% critical of the thug that threw the bottle on Sunday. The idiocy of the act beggars belief. We will get hammered obviously as the previous assault on Lennon will be the starting point of the punishment discussion. The lack of self control some people have is an embrassment and will end up costing us a fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Price Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Lennon knows exactly what he’s doing. Doesnt excuse throwing things at him though. You can’t even excuse it as a “moment of madness”. Going into yer pocket and rummaging to find something to throw at anyone is seriously weird behaviour.

jamtartan74 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 He is a very clever laddie is Lennon, he acts the prick every time he comes to Tynecastle or ibrox for that matter knowing that he will get reactions, I do not condone people launching objects towards him but he knows that some arsehole will retaliate to his provocation on these occasions, it only takes one, and then it’s big bad hearts fans at it again. It was a pretty hostile night tbf, flairs getting thrown back and forth all night into each other’s sections, especially at the end from section G into the hibs corner beside it, I will be surprised if nobody was injured during that. Even before kick off as i walked in at G a coin missed me by about a foot, pretty skint so could have done with catching it tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
