Lennon ban

[Last Minute]

3 match and 2 suspended

[MWHIBBIES]

Imagine the ban he would have received if he was protesting a decision that was actually right.

Referee should have the ban, not Lennon.

[cabbageandribs1875]

any mention of a ban for the incompetent kevin ******* Clancy

[renato]

Out of interest, what did Potter get for his sarcastic clap when he got sent to the stand?

[Pretty Boy]

What games has Clancy reffed since? If he's been chucked into the lower leagues and being paid less as a result it suggest the powers that be know NL had a point.

Yes.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

So ( and excuse my stupidity ) is that 3 game ban total, 2 of which are suspended - so 1 game if he behaves himself. Or 5 game ban with 2 suspended?

Regardless of that he already had a 2 game suspended ban activated otherwise it would have just have been a one game ban for being sent to the stand. You can’t really complain about the conclusion that’s why I don’t think Lennon attended.

3 game ban 2 games suspended.

2 games activates from the last suspended ban.

3 games in total, 2 more suspended.

Cheers Sauzee!

To also answer my own question

Neil Lennon has received a three match immediate ban by the Scottish FA following the recent away match against Kilmarnock, with a further two-match suspended ban in place. - from the Hibs website

So top flight football at the same rate of pay

Lennon should have smacked him. At least that would deserve a ban. He's being mostly punished for his post match comments. All of which are correct and supported by video evidence and fellow professionals and pundits

Especially when he's ( Kevin Clancy ) made 3 big decisions against us this season - all wrong

No human error or incompetence- Clancy is a cheat

the SFA are a total shambles. shocking decision.

What I was thinking? Levein given his attitude and not being shy about calling out refs seems for some reason to be untouchable. His pushing of Boyle and Barker should have seen a ban of some sort but no nothing to see here. Lennon has been badly dealt with IMO.

Don't you mean when he was sent to stand two steps higher up, directly behind the Dugout, because he refused to go to the 'Director's Box'?


Oh and sarcastic applause of the referee is only deemed an offense to Hibs Managers...

[southern hibby]

Tin hat firmly on here. NL was correct by his comments but there are certain ways to go about it. For instance when asked about what he thought about a certain decision it’s easy enough to say I’ll be writing to the SFA and we’ll see if they invite me in to discuss the decision mentioned.

Straight away it’s out there he’s not happy about a decision, then pressures on SFA straight away to act as next interview he can say the same thing about writing in but probably not worth it as he’s heard nothing back etc from first decision.

I’m firmly in the camp of treating referees with respect and it should only be captains and managers that talk to them. If it was brought in to move the ball forward like Rugby does if arguing with Ref then I would welcome that with open arms.

Do not think for one moment the refs in Scotland are any good most are useless, but what I find interesting is how many folk from all football teams ( myself included so I am a hypocrite too ) don’t get of their backside do the refs course and become one too and change the standard of refs from within.

Might be wrong here but believe if your a good enough ( and let’s be honest can’t be hard with our standard ) you would soon be on £800-£850 a game. Then maybe just maybe managers wouldn’t argue with the correct decisions.

The charge against his comments got completely dropped.

It was for acting in an aggressive manner on or next to the field of play.

Agree. He can't go screaming in the referees face and he knows that. He lost it whether he was wrong or right. Hopefully the three games go ok without him in the dugout.

Doesn’t delete my comments any if the standard of refs were better the likelihood of this happening would be slimmer. What I’m trying to say is even though the Ref was wrong with his decision that doesn’t make it exceptable for NL comments or actions, only he is responsible for those.

If and let’s be honest here he was manager of another team would we as a Hibs support be so understanding of his comments or actions? Right, wrong or indifferent we have now lost him for 3 games to the stand.

He never got any games because of his last ban. That suspension ended in December. He got 5 games for this incident alone, 2 suspended.

Correct. His outburst at Killie was just a few weeks after the last ban conditions expired. He was obviously biting his tongue for a year but eventually let loose once that threat was lifted.

He was censured for his comments about Clancy, attracting no ban, indicating that the disciplinary committee agreed with him so smacked his wrist i stead. Clancy will have got that message loud and clear. No UEFA goodies for him next season methinks.

Anyone saying he shouldn't be banned is kidding themselves FFS

Get real. What did you expect the SFA to do? Congratulate him for getting right in the face of a ref? Poor from Lennon and he has admitted it. Doesn't matter how bad the ref's decison was, what he did deserved punishment. At the time, I'd only just been saying to various folk, having seen him on a flight to Dublin to be a pundit for RTE's Champions League coverage, how much he had matured and mellowed and in doing so gained much respect. Then within days he reverts to being Mr Angry. Fair enough, be angry at crappy refereeing but he will have known a ban was coming as soon as he was in Clancy's face. Surprised Hibs did not say anything publicly at the time but I wonder if they did privately. Any employer who has an employee behave in the course of his employment in such a disrespectful manner in such a public way, and in so doing bring the club into disrepute, would normally act. Hope it is a one-off 'cos Lennon in the stand for three games minimum is not good for the team.

[green day]

He's getting a pounding on sportsound right now. Kris Commons the only one sticking up for him.

Hate to say it, but Leiven is doing it behind the refs back (coward), Neil was in the refs face when he did it!
To me its down to basic manners, if you had a go in the same way as Neil did in a pub you would be decked, right or wrong decision!!!
I still think he got off lightly, if the powers wanted to they could have made a scapegoat out of him!!!!
