Gonzo79 15,299 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) I laughed when I saw the coin incident. The more I see the reaction of cry babies like English and Dornan though, the more I suspect Hearts and ourselves will end up suffering. The SNP won't take long to jump on this as another opportunity to attack us. Edited November 2, 2018 by Gonzo79 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably Kaffliks since Lennon probably doesn't know that's not a race either. It's now beginning to emerge that there was no hanging effigy of him it was graffiti saying hang Lennon. We can't expect a man who doesn't know the difference between graffiti and effigy to grasp the intricacies of race. He wont be leaving hubz because if he did who would now hire this obnoxious clown who consistently rolls from one controversial riot inciting incident to the next. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neanderthals? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_categorization) ... Defining race Modern scholarship views racial categories as socially constructed, that is, race is not intrinsic to human beings but rather an identity created, often by socially dominant groups, to establish meaning in a social context. This often involves the subjugation of groups defined as racially inferior, ... ... Socioeconomic factors, in combination with early but enduring views of race, have led to considerable suffering within disadvantaged racial groups. Racial discrimination often coincides with racist mindsets, whereby the individuals and ideologies of one group come to perceive the members of an outgroup as both racially defined and morally inferior. As a result, racial groups possessing relatively little power often find themselves excluded or oppressed, while hegemonic individuals and institutions are charged with holding racist attitudes. ... He may have a point, at a stretch, but why is he the only one from his group that is so perceived ... However, WATP !! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,693 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) Around the 42 second mark you can clearly see a coin bounce off his chest. He looks down to see what it is, sees it's a coin and then decides to fall to the ground clutching his jaw. This video is unlisted so wont show up on searches.

Given the noise that Lennon is making, this has to be pushed into the public discourse. I guess twitter is one of the few ways to do it. Pundits come down heavily on players for acts of simulation, this takes it to a new level. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 7,217 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 If a player feigned injury he would be sent off so how come Lennon is not up on a charge we all seen it a coin hits his bubble jacket never his ugly head or face yet he went down like he had taken a bullet A disgustingly horrid man that's all he is . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's say it happened to Kyle Lafferty or Alfredo Morelos as trackside subs doing a warm-up. What would be highlighted ? Of course the answer is very obvious, the simulation. You have to say that in this case it has been Lennon who has forced this level and direction of public 'debate', not so much the media. However, the media have been complicit, in the sense of lacking journalistic integrity to ask the difficult but very apparent questions. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
