ian1964 10,613 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 The Hibs boss celebrated a goal by making a gesture towards the Rangers fans. Neil Lennon will not be punished by the SFA for his touchline conduct at Ibrox, it has emerged. The Hibernian boss sparked controversy with his celebration of his side’s equaliser during last month’s 3-2 victory over Rangers. One fans’ group called for police intervention and accused Lennon of ‘a clear attempt to incite trouble’ after he cupped his ears and made an underarm gesture towards the main stand. Following the furore, the former Celtic player and manager was the subject of alleged death threats. The SFA’s investigation of events at the game was not time-sensitive and was overtaken by a busy period for compliance officer Tony McGlennan and the judicial panel dealing with ‘fast-track’ red-card appeals. However, it is now known that no action has been taken against Lennon, who has a suspended two-game ban hanging over him following a bust-up with Morton manager Jim Duffy last season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boabie 230 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 It's difficult in todays culture to prosecute an oppressed mass. 2 seconds after he did it I knew there wasn't a hope in Hell of him facing any charges. He's been getting away with it since the day following his arrival in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can they justify him getting off whilst others have been done for the EXACT same thing? It is pure corruption. And it is in broad daylight. I honestly hope Caixinha does this at every single away game as there is carte Blanche now without them having to confront their hypocrisy.

Gonzo79 14,536 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) His face popped up on Sportscene and my wife (who has no interest in football) asked, "Who on Earth is that - he's SOOO ugly!". So take comfort, fellow Bears, in the knowledge that he's stuck with that utterly repulsive face forever.

der Berliner 3,554 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) In essence,this opens the gate for people who see that clearly no justice is being done and will now take it into their own hands, whether they risk a ban or fine or worse. This idiot, like Brown and Stokes can do whatever he wants and faces next to no punishment. This does not augur well ...
