'SO-CALLED PROFESSIONAL' Ex-Hearts star Stephen Elliott brands Neil Lennon ’embarrassing’, ‘immature’ and an ‘idiot’

[JFK-1 1,693]

Good post from a Hearts forum on the whole Lennon situation and not just this incident. Other times when he has been 'having a bit of fun' but obviously never goading an already volatile crowd.

McInnes, Wright, Robinson, Holt, Rodgers. A small list of managers who have came to tynie this season and not been pelted with coins or attacked.  I have attached some pictures of the above managers reacting to the crowd or gesturing to the crowd..............(there are none)

 

Here is a small list of managers I have seen attacked or hit by objects at tynie in my life time: 

 

Neil Lennon 

 

So what differentiates the list of managers above and Neil Lennon? If we go through the list of hibs managers in my life time I can’t think of a single one being hit with anything or attacked, so it can’t be that he’s a hibs manager. If we go through the list of ex Celtic managers or current Celtic managers attacked or hit with things at tynie I can’t think of any, other than Lennon, that have been attacked so it can’t be that he is ex Celtic. If I go through every catholic that has ever played at tynie in my life time I can’t think of any that have even been attacked or hit with things at tynie, other than Neil Lennon, so it can’t be because he is catholic. If I do the same with gingers, folk way smelly teeth and so on and so on I can’t think of any other manager that has been attacked or hit by objects at tynie in my life time, so there must be something in how Neil Lennon acts or behaves. 

 

In his time in charge of Hibs he’s, left the field of play, having been beaten in the derby stopping hibs from finishing 2nd, gesturing to the fans about how many points clear they where with a face like thunder, in his interview after the match he blamed everyone and their dog for the defeat and said hearts didn’t deserve to win, a common theme with Lennon when hearts win. Last night after a poisonous atmosphere from the get go, Lennon decided the correct way to act after a important goal for hearts, sitting top of the league by the way which would have kept us 6 points ahead of Celtic, being chopped off was to run out the dug out and turn and gesture to the hearts fans like a mad man, laughing his face off with the “come ahead” arms out stretched before walking towards the hearts fans still laughing like a mad man but now telling them to calm down sarcastically. Add in his behaviour as a Celtic manager and his many interviews where he tells anyone that listens how much he hates hearts. His reaction Sergio when we knocked them out the semi it doesn’t paint a picture of a man who can control his hatred for Hearts. If we look further at his time in charge of hibs, Lennon has turned and gestured towards the rangers fans twice in two separate games, giving them the cupped ears and the get it up you pat fenlon gesture. After the game with rangers last year, a game which meant nothing to either team, Lennon ran onto the park and headed, not for the celebrating hibs fans, for the Rangers fans doing the aeroplane. In his time with Celtic he’s gestured to the rangers fans after Celtic wins and Celtic loses, pretty common theme develops when you actually look at the mans behaviour in big games that don’t go his way. 

 

No one, I mean no one deserves to be hit by objects at their work, absolutely disgusting behaviour and hearts and hibs will act accordingly and hopefully, with the help of police Scotland, we will see people banned and jailed. That said however, you can’t ignore Lennons part in all of this. If you walked down the gorgie road towards the hibs fans with your arms out stretched laughing like a mad man, like Lennon was last night, am pretty sure you’d get banged. Lennon is a bitter, bitter man who hates Heart of Midlothian Football Club and cannot handle losing to us. His actions on the touch line border the insane, at one point yesterday after a decision went against him he ran towards the water bottles and had to stop himself from booting them into the crowd. He runs around like a headless chicken on the touch line and antagonises the supporters around him. My dad used to say to me “if you act like a dick you’ll be treated like a dick”. He is the manager of our biggest rivals, he should know to carry himself and conduct himself better than he does. Craig Levein was subject to 30k Celtic fans calling him a sad orange ******* on Sunday, he never reacted to it. Hibs have a song about how his heart doesn’t work, he didn’t react to it. No one should be hit by any objects when tying to do their job, no one will argue with that. He has a responsibility as well and he acted irresponsibly last night. I’d love to hear what the match commander would have had to say as he watched Lennon react to the disallowed goal, am almost 100% certain he wouldn’t have found it light hearted fun, he would’ve seen it as a red rag to a bull on a night that was always on the edge of boiling over. 

 

Heres a few pics of Lennon having some light hearted fun.

We could do with someone publicly asking the question......

 

Why did you grab your face and talk about your jaw when the coin hit your chest ?

[der Berliner 3,808]

Lennon and Griffiths are living samples that brain failure does not result in immediate death.

[StuGers 477]

It really is incredible how much of a protected species Neil Lennon is.

 

He openly goads fans, gets hit on the chest with a coin and embarrassingly lies on the ground for ages holding his face.

 

Yet all the chat is about he is discriminated against for being an Irish Catholic when there is already more than one other Irish Catholic working in the same league, playing at the same stadiums, who this hasn’t even come near to happening to.

 

Why are the press not saying - Neil Lennon is an idiot and a fraud, because that’s the simple truth.

 

Is someone behind the scenes paying for this press response? Or is is it sadly that when it comes to someone of their own religion, they are excusing him and using him as a tool to spread this recurring message that they are terrible, terrible victims in this massively oppressive country and city (where they hold power in a fantastically unrepresentative fashion)?

The Irish Catholic thing probably does get a certain type of fan going but c'mon there are countless Irish Catholic players and managers that have not had this. Lennon could start a rammy in an empty house. Did his agent play the Irish card when he started his Bolton career?

This shouldn't even be a debate.

There is conclusive TV footage that simply shows what happened.

 

His goading led to a coin being thrown.

Two seperate offences.

 

One of the purposes of this debate is an attempt to prevent the public discussion addressing the distinct possibility of exaggeration/simulation by Lennon.

O'Neill and Rodgers are both NI RCs, who manage or have managed Celtc and neither of them got/get even a tenth of the flak that Lennon gets.

 

He brings it all on himself with his petulant, childlike behaviour.  It really is that simple.
