Hibs v Morton

[silverhibee]

When you see us playing like this, you wonder how we have the Scottish Cup???


eh?

[IWasThere2016]

That was dire.

[Liam89]

Mcgregor sent off for nothing. That'll be appealed. Lennon silly to run on the pitch and get involved in the melee.

[Craig_in_Prague]

Draw not enough for Morton. Pretty much finishes league

How? Beat us and win game in hand, only 4 pts. Hardly done yet

[givescotlandfreedom]

Lennon will get slaughtered. Lost the plot going after Duffy. Loved the passion but probably shouldn't have.

[rcarter1]

Calm heads required... Decent enough result, but the game away to Morton is big now. A draw there would be acceptable? Good grief I cant wait to get out of this pashy itsy bitsy division..

[CathroMustStay]

CHAMPIONEEEEES! :flag:

[jacomo]

FT 0-0
Another disappointing home draw

Yep.

But a better result for us than Morton.

The finishing line keeps getting closer.

[silverhibee]

Lennon shouldn't get involved in fights - his red-napper makes him too easy to spot !


:greengrin

I'm always getting caught.

[where'stheslope]

eh?

I take it you felt that was a good performance?

[Kato]

When you see us playing like this, you wonder how we have the Scottish Cup???

No. You wonder how we have the Scottish Cup.

[Hibee87]

The compliance officer cant get involved if there is no cameras there, is that correct? Because lennon looked to throw a punch, he will be donald if thats what ref 'seen'

[SirDavidsNapper]

How? Beat us and win game in hand, only 4 pts. Hardly done yet

They really has to win tonight imo

[sambajustice]

They didn't.

Goal differences of +70 and +50 odds suggest they did.

Too many home draws, I think we have to wake up to the fact we're pretty gash really!

[SaulGoodman]

How? Beat us and win game in hand, only 4 pts. Hardly done yet

Or get beat by us and lose their game in hand and it's 13..

[Dalianwanda]

Maybe it was just exuberance.

[Sammy7nil]

Yep.

But a better result for us than Morton.

The finishing line keeps getting closer.

The finishing line should be behind us how many times have failed to hammer home our advantage. Really not good enough.

[21sMay]

Thought we looked more dangerous with Graham on the park. Overall still not good enough but another point closer to the title

[SaulGoodman]

This place is miserable as ****.

[Craig_in_Prague]

Or get beat by us and lose their game in hand and it's 13..

Sure but saying it's over now, is nonsense

[cmcd]

Awful tonight - mcgregor and Boyle the only decent performances for me .

Keatings, holt and graham sorry not for me

Stevenson was head and shoulders above everyone and Boyle done well

[Bristolhibby]

One less game for Morton to close ground on us.

Disappointing not to win, but TBH we played gash.

Onto Saturday. Massive game at Dunfermline. Must up our game 100% or the Pars will take us apart.

Onwards and upwards Hibs.

[cookin_on_gaz]

I have never seen anything like that in a game...kicked off big time.

I was watching it on periscope but it looked to me as though the ref pushed their player over as it all kicked off

[Jim44]

We're doing a bit better than just crawling over the fiinishing line arithmetically but we're definitely crawling in terms of quality.

[Dalianwanda]

That's what I thought too...

[where'stheslope]

If we think a draw is a good result in games, we are always 1 goal away from losing!!!

Then we will start to heap pressure on ourselves!

[silverhibee]

Does Lennon like sitting in the stand.

[hibee316]

This place is miserable as ****.

Yup.

I wonder if the people who moan on here, moan as much in real life? And if they do, if they have any pals?

If I had mates who moaned as much as a few on this thread, I wouldn't spend a lot of time with them!

[CyberSauzee]

Would Hibs tv not count?

In England any TV evidence can be used to overturn straight reds. Hopefully the same for the SFA.

[Beefster]

I wish folk would calm the **** down. We don't deal greatwith having to break a team with 11 men behind the ball. Hey ho. We'll see less of that next season.

10 points clear and seven points out of nine against our three closest rivals in the last few weeks and folk are still near hysteria. Get a ****ing grip.

[California-Hibs]

How? Beat us and win game in hand, only 4 pts. Hardly done yet

It's done FFS. We're draw specialist's but we hardly ever lose a game. A draw or a win tonight was always finishing it off.

Back in the Premier League lads. Phew, at last! 👍

[hibee62]

I'm fairly sure the officials had no idea what happened but felt they had to be seen to do something and kept it even.

[judas]

Sure but saying it's over now, is nonsense

It's over now. Get a grip of yourself.

[greenlex]

If we think a draw is a good result in games, we are always 1 goal away from losing!!!

Don't talk garbage. How can the other team score after the game? A result is a result.

[SaulGoodman]

If we think a draw is a good result in games, we are always 1 goal away from losing!!!

The players obviously aren't deliberately playing for a draw pretending it's a good result. People are just saying that a draw isn't that bad all things considered.

[Mr White]

If we think a draw is a good result in games, we are always 1 goal away from losing!!!

Then we will start to heap pressure on ourselves!

Nobody not one person suggested at any point a draw tonight was a good result. Given the points and goal difference situation it's quite clearly a better result for us than it is for Morton.

Carry on the trolling while you can though.

[blackpoolhibs]

At least we never got beat, but once again a poor performance, one of very many, and another game where we never really looked like scoring because we created very little.

And once again Holt was pish, Keatings was pish and so were a few others who we all think are first name picks.

We are a poor team, who play poor football in a very poor league. Yes its vitally important to get out of this league, and tonights point helps, but i believe we need another clearout, and at least 5 maybe 6 new players who would be better than those they replace and first choice players next season.

[oconnors_strip]

From my view from the east it looked like the Morton player went down very easily when Mcgregor approached him. Hopefully hibs tv can provide enough evidence to submit for an appeal.

[berwickhibee]

agree. we would all have taken 7 points from 9 against our closest rivals, job done.:thumbsup:

[Deansy]

This place is miserable as ****.

Side-effect of the football we're playing.

[neil7908]

Poor from us. Yes we'll win the league but the mentality from some fans that somehow things will be easier in the SPL is crazy. We need to improve massively going forward and I don't think the current squad is good enough to be anything other than average.

I love Boyles enthusiasm but his end product is truly dreadful. He got past his man 5-6 times but every cross was hit at the goalkeeper or first defender.

[660]

Good draw for Morton in their fight for second place. Good point for us in stumble over the line.

I think we've got a decent squad who we've seen play very well against premier league teams. But when it comes to the anti-football played by most Championship teams we struggle for some reason. Sometimes it seems that we almost can't be bothered. We'll be fine in the Premier League next season.

[cleanyman]

Sums up this season apart from a couple of games

Absolutely shocking display.

Lennon is getting the job done so fair play but my God what an awful team we are.

[Craig_in_Prague]

It's over now. Get a grip of yourself.

So the league is over? Cheers
No need to watch or follow more games, thanks, roll on semi final then :)

Problem is Morton didn't put 11 men behind the ball, they went 4-4-2 and, at least in the first half tried to have a go.

If we are that easy to frustrate don't you think SPL teams with better players will realise quickly how to play against us?

[truehibernian]

Can't for the life of me think what Daz did to get a red other than to separate players.

I'm all for passion but Lennon and Duffy need long hard looks at themselves - that was disgraceful from both benches. Is there history between them ? Lennon was outrageous - he'll get hammered by the beaks.

[Craig_in_Prague]

It's done FFS. We're draw specialist's but we hardly ever lose a game. A draw or a win tonight was always finishing it off.

I hope the players think different

Nah it's just a side effect of this place being miserable as ****.

Feel like some posters on here are seriously bipolar it's like one extreme to another with them.

Imagine if Keatings never scored with almost the last kick of the ball on Saturday.. this place would be in meltdown yet because we won we've got threads about who we want relegated from the Prem when we go up.

Now that we've drawn our latest game, yes it was dire I can admit that, we've went back to being the worst team people have ever seen, mass clear outs needed, we're going to blow a 10 point lead even though we've only lost 3 times in the league all season..

I'm not asking for fake smiles and happy clapping but a bit perspective would be nice ffs!

[Leith Hibee]

Na I'm not buying it from the draw was good for us brigade!

Sitting at that match watching a team with 3 central defenders (1 playing at right back) and a defensive midfielder against Morton is not what 15,000 fans pay to watch.

We never created one clear cut chance in the match.

All while Lennon watches on and couldn't see that we needed someone with a little composure and creativity on the ball! 88 mins before mcgeouch came on is unbelievable in my opinion!!!

[neil7908]

Sorry but this mentality doesn't make sense. If we are that easy to play against that part time teams can figure us out, do you not think that SPL sides with better players will also twig how to frustrate us?

If I was the manager of Hamilton, Ross County, Inverness etc I'd be looking at games like this as a blueprint. They will also have better players across the pitch and will be more likely to punish us going forward.

The idea that playing better teams week in, week out will somehow work in our favour is crazy.

[mjhibby]

:top marksMajor clear out needed again Blackpool. :agree:

There seems to be a call for a clear out every season. Clearly there is a budget to work within in the championship so hopefully once we do get promoted we can get a couple of decent guys in. Defensively we are sound,especially at centre back though need players to compete with gray and Stevenson. Marciano is a very good keeper so would like him to stay. Where we are lacking is creatively in midfield. McGeoch would fill that void but is,as we know,injury prone. I think we need at least one attacking full back,two creative midfieders and a guy who can score 12-15 goals a season. Not easy to attract those players to the epl though.

[houstonhibbee]

Theres only so much he can do. If the rest of the players are too slow to get into the box it doesn't leave much to aim at.
McGeouch should have been on after 60 minutes not with 7 minutes to go.....

[blackpoolhibs]

Yip, and were very comfortable in doing so. They are good on the ball without maybe creating much, although when you know how we are in giving away cheap goals you are never comfortable.

Apart from the lad heading over from 5 yards, Rocky hardly had a real save but we hardly made their keeper work much. :rolleyes:

As soon as I saw the team I said to my partner we're going to struggle to create anything here, It's been the same for the majority of games at home. I love Bartley but he offers nothing going forward and for me Boyle and Keatings are impact players off the bench.

[number9dream]

That's Rocky off free kicks! Astonishing.

[Borderhibbie76]

I think we missed Shinnie tonight...I've been a fan of his most of season and think he is out most creative midfielder tbh. Mcginn was very poor tonight and McGeough should have been on much earlier

a major clear out is the last thing we need. some tweaking as stated above is what is needed. also better coaching in corners, throw ins, set pieces, movement off the ball would help

It's easy to set up 4-5-1 to frustrate. No Scottish team,outside Celtic, break down teams easily. Hibs will find it easier in the SPL as the other teams will come at us and as we have shown in the cups the last 2 seasons we can match anybody in the SPL,maybe bar Celtic. Maybe players do struggle in the mundane games but in every vital game we have won or got a draw which should lead us up. Only at the Arabs did we not get a result and we missed a penalty their. I'd be confident of beating Hamilton,motherwell etc as the guys will be focussed for every game.

Indeed. Not to mention that no-one has said they're happy with a draw. Simple facts are we're ahead and this doesn't get anyone any closer to us.

Well united are actually 2 points closer to us than they were 26 hours but I'm ok with that at this point :greengrin

Far too many folk with negative views imo.

If he left tomorrow I couldn't give two ****s after that.
What exactly did he do?

[Basildon Hibs]

Except Holt should never have been at Hibs in the first place. The guy is an absolutely, fat, useless waste of a jersey. I really struggle to see how he is picked to (try) and play fitba.

OK it's a draw, but our main opposition also drew tonight making it a step closer to promotion. GGTTH

Nothing about negativity, simply looking at the mathematics !

To say it's over, is a bit dodgy considering Morton home form and game in hand.
Yes it's unlikely we'll blow this lead but dunfermline away and then Morton away, is hardly a easy 2 games.
Maybe some are just stressed and hate this league and fear the ramifications of staying down again.

As the start of season we expect to go up, but still work to do, what is wrong in acknowledging that?

[Brightside]

I left a bit embarrassed tbh. Lennon played for a draw and I honestly cannot believe we would play for a draw against Morton. Midfield were murder the whole game. Bartley a man down. SJM having to play deeper to cover. Boyle doing his best to create but very little to pass to when he had chances for cut backs. The sending off for Lennon is simply transference by him to hide such a poor managerial performance. We bring on creative midfielder with 4 mins to go?? Whats the point. He will get away with this because we will win the championship but its rubbish. Morton played around our midfield the whole game....that can never be acceptable.

But the problem is we've been playing ALL of the clubs in this very small league, at least 4 times a season. We'll have played St Mirren 6 times this season. No wonder the poorer sides have worked out how to frustrate us. I'm hoping that the higher standard, extra 2 teams and novelty value (at least to begin with) will work in our favour next season.

Entered the field of play and tried to get at players and referee. As did coaches from Morton bench. He was disgraceful has to be said. He's fiery for sure, but something definitely kicked him off - surely it wasn't just the bad challenge that caused that reaction ?

There was one Morton player who seemed intent on getting to Lennon but couldn't see who, I think McGinn of all people kept him away.

He'll get rightly hammered - that's why I'm asking if there's history, he was animated all night.

[silverhibee]

Of course he went over the score but let's not get carried away here. If I was a player I'd like playing for someone who I knows got my back and if I was a player I'd certainly not go back into that changing room to look
Him in the eye if I hadn't given it my all.

I'm not a huge fan of Lennon as a hibs manager tbh and I'd be quite content if he leaves after taking us up but I quite enjoyed seeing that passion tonight and I like knowing teams will no longer bully us.

Did you see what for? Genuine question btw, I'm guessing it wasn't just the tackle?

I'm assuming Duffy was clapping his player or something or was there more to it than that?

[Northernhibee]

Throwing punches

My opinion of Lennon's managerial ability is well known but have always defended him in that he seems like a decent, likeable guy.

If that turns out to be true then it turns out that I was wrong in that assumption, considering the gesture he alledgedly made in the Brondby game and the amount of time he's getting himself into trouble he needs punted. There's passion, there's a total lack of control and if it's true that he's thrown punches then that's a totally different level.

**** game today, poor performance, unacceptable conduct.

For those saying NL is a disgrace would you rather have a zombie like Calderwood, Fenlon or god forbid Cathro. Yes he explosive and lost it tonight but at least he cares enough to put himself in the firing line

[Super_JMcGinn]

So did he actually land one on Duff Jimmy or not?

No.

[hibbysam]

Did you see what for? Genuine question btw, I'm guessing it wasn't just the tackle?

I'm assuming Duffy was clapping his player or something or was there more to it than that?

The tackle was a total leg breaker, after the weekend I'm not surprised in the slightest that Lennon lost it. Cowards tackle and immmore than happy for Lennon, McGregor and any other Hibs player to stick up for their team mates. Gangs thinking they can come to ER and bully us doesn't happen anymore.

Weren't we all taking the moral high ground about the Sevco suit who aimed a kick at a Hibee after the cup final? That's gone now, it seems.

[SeanWilson]

Ca nnot believe the utter rank rotten tepid *****y attitude coming out of folk following that ending. Not hibs class, don't want this man associated with our club, blah blah blah. **** off. About time we had some fight. Don't condone violence and Lennon was clearly OTT but some folk seriously need to get a grip with their ponsy, pansy attitude to hibs.

[mjhibby]

Looking at our cup record in the last couple of years. Spl teams are taking their time to do something about it if they have us figured out.

The SPL is the poorest for many years. With a couple of good additions I'm extremely confident we will be top six at least. Lennon knows how to get results just as much as other managers do. The fact that certain players haven't done the business this season I'm sure will see Lennon signing players who can.

[bingo70]

Correct, completely agree.

Morton bench certainly stirred things up. Hibs TV wasn't clear for the trouble. They mentioned in commentary Mortons goalkeeper coach was causing bother and well, who knows what they may have said to Neil or Hibs players.
If anything, let's hope it fires Hibs up for the following games and next Wednesday.

There were plenty at it so I have no complaints over Lennon. We've been a soft touch for too long and I think he'll continue to make us tougher as a club!

[brog]

It's strange, throughout this season the great concensus on here has been that nothing else matters except promotion. Now that we're almost there those same posters are getting worked up about the quality of our performances. From day 1 I forecast NL would get us up but it wouldn't be pretty. I remain unconvinced that NL is a long term prospect for our club but I genuinely believe that the present squad under NL would comfortably make the top 6. More because of the garbage currently in that league it has to be said. There's no doubt we lack creativity & quality in key places & there are a few players who are not good enough for us to progress. We'll have a close season to improve the squad & hopefully NL can be less pragmatic & conservative in his approach when we're back in the top flight.

[Brightside]

Did you see what for? Genuine question btw, I'm guessing it wasn't just the tackle?

I'm assuming Duffy was clapping his player or something or was there more to it than that?

Yes - but that doesnt matter. There is a line between players and coaches. It should never ever be crossed. Lennon still behave like a battling midfielder.

[heretoday]

Lenny's a real hothead right enough. I wonder if he'll apologise tomorrow.

[marinello59]

No.

Damn.

[StevieCowan]

He was going apoplectic at players and was trying to get at Jim Duffy, that is 100% not the behaviour I want to see from anyone involved with Hibs.

It's 100% what's needed from time to time.

[CathroMustStay]

Amen.

Lennon has toughened us up, and the club will only go from strength to strength under his management once promotion is mathematically confirmed.

We have to show more nous than that, why is it other teams can crowd a player after a bad tackle but remain with 11 on the park?

[HAZ2000]

Seen a couple of people here saying they want Lennon gone- unbelievable.
Everyone knows he can be prone to that sort of aggression, he clearly cares an awful lot and lost it when forster was hacked at the end. The man loves football and hibs. If he really did throw punches (I was in East so I missed it) he will possibly be banned for the rest of the season. Mcgregors will be rescinded

[silverhibee]

Entered the field of play and tried to get at players and referee. As did coaches from Morton bench. He was disgraceful has to be said. He's fiery for sure, but something definitely kicked him off - surely it wasn't just the bad challenge that caused that reaction ?

There was one Morton player who seemed intent on getting to Lennon but couldn't see who, I think McGinn of all people kept him away.

He'll get rightly hammered - that's why I'm asking if there's history, he was animated all night.

It reminded me of Sally & Lennon after that old firm game, Lennon lost the plot because McCoist said something and Lennon acted the same tonight, what i seen he seemed to be trying to get to a Morton player and Morton player trying to get to Lennon, he will probably see the rest of the season from the stand, he can't behave like that, but that's what he is like when it comes to football and anyone thinking he would turn in to a angel when he came to Hibs needs to be forced to eat a sticky toffee sweet. :greengrin

Away and soak in a tub of cold beans.

Were you at the game? He is a disgrace... he threw at least 5 punches. How can that be acceptable for a manager of our club.
No I wasnt at the game, hence the question as there seemed to be, as usual a number of opinions, you are the first to mention punches.

[MacBean]

Efe seemed to be pointing to his forehead after it all to a couple of the Morton players, not sure if anything in it or just winding them up

[silverhibee]

His behaviour was disgraceful mate - hopefully he'll apologise or at least explain why he endeavoured to get at players and officials on the pitch.

I love fight, I don't like idiocy - he was an idiot tonight.

[BigKev]

You can care without acting like an animal., what the hell kind of message does that send to the players?

Animal? Behave.

He lost the rag. Something I presume you've never done?

He's committed and long may it continue. Did he overstep the mark? Maybe but we don't know what's been said. The leg breaking challenge is right in front of him. If that happened to someone in a team I was playing for then sure as hell I'd be in there for my team mates.

[bingo70]

Yes - but that doesnt matter. There is a line between players and coaches. It should never ever be crossed. Lennon still behave like a battling midfielder.

Why and who says so?

Managers get caught up in tussles all the time, let's not blow it out of proportion.

[Swedish hibee]

I don't want to see any Hibs manager throwing punches at a game.

[silverhibee]

This place is crawling tonight.

[--------]

At least we never got beat, but once again a poor performance, one of very many, and another game where we never really looked like scoring because we created very little.

And once again Holt was pish, Keatings was pish and so were a few others who we all think are first name picks.

We are a poor team, who play poor football in a very poor league. Yes its vitally important to get out of this league, and tonights point helps, but i believe we need another clearout, and at least 5 maybe 6 new players who would be better than those they replace and first choice players next season.

A realistic assessment, and I totally agree that a large number of this squad are nowhere near the quality we'll require next season if and when we're promoted.

(I'm not kidding myself - we're firm favourites right now, but until it's impossible for anyone to overtake us ...)

We need at least 6 new players, and I have to say I'm not really convinced about NL.

[hibbysam]

We have to show more nous than that, why is it other teams can crowd a player after a bad tackle but remain with 11 on the park?

Because our players don't have a habit of rolling around when not touched. Fraser Fyvie done it last year and was rightly ridiculed for it. He got a two game ban, and I will look forward to this muppet receiving the same ban tomorrow along with his ban for the shocking challenge. No doubt he will receive a measly one game ban however.

[truehibernian]

It reminded me of Sally & Lennon after that old firm game, Lennon lost the plot because McCoist said something and Lennon acted the same tonight, what i seen he seemed to be trying to get to a Morton player and Morton player trying to get to Lennon, he will probably see the rest of the season from the stand, he can't behave like that, but that's what he is like when it comes to football and anyone thinking he would turn in to a angel when he came to Hibs needs to be forced to eat a sticky toffee sweet. :greengrin

That's exactly what I saw SH - looked like SJM kept the Morton player away from NL.

There was also a Morton coach acting like a fan dan - I'm sure Cliff et al at Hibs TV will have it all canned and en route to Hampden - hopefully editing out Lennon's shadow boxing.

[bingo70]

I don't want to see any Hibs manager throwing punches at a game.

Course you don't but sometimes **** happens.

I don't want to see opposition players trying to break hibs players legs but that's two games in a row it's happened.

[SeanWilson]

His behaviour was disgraceful mate - hopefully he'll apologise or at least explain why he endeavoured to get at players and officials on the pitch.

I love fight, I don't like idiocy - he was an idiot tonight.

He was WAY over the top, clearly and I don't dispute the fact. However, he seen one of his young players endure an absolute horror then clearly received some sort of verbals. His actions were not exactly that of a saint, however they never were going to be. He'll be punished and rightly so, but the **** offs and don't want him at our club are just as ridiculous as his actions.... the mans a winner, a passionate winner and I'll take that every day of the week.

[silverhibee]

[QUOTE=CathroMustStay;4992699]

Eh?

My thoughts as well.

[bigwheel]

Why and who says so?

Managers get caught up in tussles all the time, let's not blow it out of proportion.

It wasn't a tussle , it was full out pagger mode - but lack of video evidence might save him - he lost the plot completely. He was like old skool CCS having a swedge while walking from Queen street to Central station ...completely lost it. Took about 5 different players and coaching staff to try to calm him down ...

[Jones28]

No I wasnt at the game, hence the question as there seemed to be, as usual a number of opinions, you are the first to mention punches.

Basically the tackle on Forster flies in, poor poor challenge and rightly there was a reaction.

Then all hell breaks loose with Lennon needing restrained by several people to stop him from going for Duffy. Then McGregor gets sent off and he is sarcastically applauding Duffy for all the decisions and cards. Seemed to feel the decisions were the fault of the Morton bench.

[Hibbyradge]

All we need to do is (almost) match those around us.

Before the game on Saturday I said that 2 draws would be fine. We achieved better.

[Northernhibee]

He fails to win a hell of a lot of games for a passionate winner.

[silverhibee]

So did he actually land one on Duff Jimmy or not?


I didn't see the Duffy incident, but he was trying to get at a Morton player and jumping over other players trying to land a swing, he lost it for a tad. :greengrin

[SeanWilson]

He fails to win a hell of a lot of games for a passionate winner.

😝

[MacBean]

The way he reacted it was as if someone said something very close to the bone and insulting. he proper flipped his lid

[stoneyburn hibs]

A passionate manager in a heat of the moment incident, I'll live with that.

[Malthibby]

Too far away to see what kicked off but even from the FF you could see the tackle was an absolute assault & I'm not remotely surprised there was an extreme reaction, hopefully
we will find out just what was said & done but I don't think I want to be binning Lennon; he must have very short arms if he threw 5 punches & didn't land once (& no I don't think
fighting's clever).
We need to just calm down a bit & stop attacking each other, & wait to find out what actually happened.
Lousy game, btw, two midfielders doesn't work.
GG

[Pretty Boy]

Said elsehwere but I'll say it again.

I can't wait for this season to end. We are garbage to watch and have turned a season of optimism into a dirge. Sooner we get over the line and start the big rebuild required the better. We've failed to win 47% of our games this season, that says plenty.

I'm grateful there was a fight tonight as it was by far the most exciting thing that happened.

[mcfly]

At least we never got beat, but once again a poor performance, one of very many, and another game where we never really looked like scoring because we created very little.

And once again Holt was pish, Keatings was pish and so were a few others who we all think are first name picks.

We are a poor team, who play poor football in a very poor league. Yes its vitally important to get out of this league, and tonights point helps, but i believe we need another clearout, and at least 5 maybe 6 new players who would be better than those they replace and first choice players next season.

Agree - we need a goal scoring midfielder and 2 new strikers.

Our lack of goals this season except from Jason is not good enough

I make it 8-10 players and totally agree. We are the least pish of a bad lot.

[Clarence]

We'll continue to have this home form in the premier league but our away form will not be as great.

[hibbysam]

He fails to win a hell of a lot of games for a passionate winner.

Are we sitting top of the league, with it basically wrapped up? That's what winners do, win titles. Something Neil Lennon has done all his life.

[mcfly]

The vast majority of this team won the Scottish Cup and are going to win the league. It would be madness to have a clear out. Can't buy that level of experience. A few quality additions in the summer and we'll be up at the top end of Premiership

Holt , graham did not win us the cup.

Stokes, Henderson did.

We do need a clear out especially in the striking dept.

I don't recall the Morton goalie making a save tonight. V v poor

[Lago]

Yes - but that doesnt matter. There is a line between players and coaches. It should never ever be crossed. Lennon still behave like a battling midfielder.

[Brightside]

And missed the person he was trying to hit each time.

I love Neil Lennon even more after tonight.

He's exactly the type of person I want as Hibs manager. Hope he's here for years to come.

[Northernhibee]

He's been very lucky that all the teams around us have had periods of the season where their form hasn't been there at all. Sorry, but we've been the least worst.

I'll be ****ing delighted when we go up because honestly, this league campaign has been dismal. We could have had it wrapped up long before now.

[Brightside]

[QUOTE=CathroMustStay;4992652]Don't talk utter cretinous buffoonery.


Passive Colin Calderwood and Paddy Fenlon are more your cup of tea.[/QUOT

Squaring up to other managers? Going for players? Is that your level of "Hibs class"?

Are you having a laugh? It was Duffy who went running over to the Hibs dugout. The tackle was a shocker right in front of Lennon. Any Manager would have reacted angrily in that situation and the challenge could've broken Jordan's leg.

No longer are we a Club that meekly gets pushed around like a bunch of softies. Well done Neil for sticking up for our players

[truehibernian]

Back to the game - can we sign O'Ware in summer please ? Him, Daz and Hanlon would be immense at the back - if we don't get Efe.

Really impressed with TOW every time I see him.

[houstonhibbee]

the danger is we replace with worse rather than better
we do need another creative midfielder and good attacker but we need to work on tactics and coaching

[McIntosh]

Neil Lennon was an embarrassment this evening. I love passion and commitment but that was barefaced thuggery.

If he left tomorrow I couldn't give two ****s after that. Fortunately he is more important to Hibs than you are.

[Pretty Boy]

I love Neil Lennon even more after tonight.

We'll continue to have this home form in the premier league but our away form will not be as great.

I take it you know were keeping the exact same squad next season?

No good enough tonight, theres a real lack of quality in attacking positions in the squad which needs changed in.the.summer. Good to see a bit passion from lennon at the end, he did lose complete control but none of us know what exactly was said and done.

[hibbysam]

He's been very lucky that all the teams around us have had periods of the season where their form hasn't been there at all. Sorry, but we've been the least worst.

He's got a result in basically every big game we have faced. The least worst team wins the league.

[Lago]

Every week on MOTD I see opposing mangers facing up, pushing & shoving, confronting opposition players, managers have even been banned from the stadium. It doesn't cause the stuchey that Lennon's haymakers appear to becausing tonight.

[Albanian Hibs]

Just seen the highlights on ssn. Duff Jimmy is in Lennons face. Lennon reacted.

[Northernhibee]

Give it a rest

Aye, all is barry then. Failing to win in fourteen games out of thirty in this league is fantastic.

Is that more like it? That's a ****ing shocking statistic.

[BigKev]

So just seen it again on SSN... where's these 5 punches Lennon threw? Looks like he was reacting to Duffy saying something and a Morton player saying something.

He's done nothing bar react angrily.

Some of the hysterical posters on here need to have a word with themselves.

[jacomo]

:top marksMajor clear out needed again Blackpool. :agree:


Please stop this nonsense.

If, say, Holt scored 1 in 3 or even 1 in 4 games we'd be over the horizon by now.

Scoring goals has been an issue all season but we don't concede many, we don't give in, and we are a match for most both in terms of work rate and quality.

Yes of course we'll want to strengthen in the summer, but this is a decent squad.

Some folk need to stop greeting at every single wee setback and look at the bigger picture.

[Blaster]

Never a red. Will win that on appeal

No he didn't.

I have just watched it all again on SSN and he threw no punches at all, it was all a bit "haud me back big man" from him and Duffy.

Daz red card will be turned over by Saturday too.

[tamig]

Weren't we all taking the moral high ground about the Sevco suit who aimed a kick at a Hibee after the cup final? That's gone now, it seems.

That wasn't after a Hibs player had nearly been halved right in front of our dugout. As soon as the tackle was made on Forster I knew it was kicking off big time. Nothing like the hun at the final.

[Hibs90]

Brilliant when its your job.

So footage has been shown on TV... no punches thrown?? **** stirring at its finest..

[silverhibee]

That's exactly what I saw SH - looked like SJM kept the Morton player away from NL.

There was also a Morton coach acting like a fan dan - I'm sure Cliff et al at Hibs TV will have it all canned and en route to Hampden - hopefully editing out Lennon's shadow boxing.


And i'm sure it was Forster who grabbed a hold of Lennon then the assistant took Lennon away, I in seen it on Hibs tv and it didn't show you the incident with Duffy, just Lennon jumping/trying to get to a player from behind a few players and the arms were swinging.

Lennon, he fights where he wants :greengrin remember him giving McGeady a few hooks at at a Pars Celtc game, Aiden wasn't shy either. :greengrin

[Albanian Hibs]

Aye, all is barry then. Failing to win in fourteen games out of thirty in this league is fantastic.

I was 10 yards away max. He threw his fist at least 5 times prob more like 8/9. Granted it was the throwing of a man who had no interest in getting involved in a fight "hold me back etc" and he has done it as a simple act of transference for such a poor performance. Lets not kid on he was being a dick coz he was.

Seems like some folk wish we would go back to bending over and taking it from some of the teams that come to our stadium and think they own it.

I was 10 yards away max. He threw his fist at least 5 times prob more like 8/9. Granted it was the throwing of a man who had no interest in getting involved in a fight "hold me back etc" and he has done it as a simple act of transference for such a poor performance. Lets not kid on he was being a dick coz he was.

You need to go to specsavers

Imagine sky editing out what you saw eh. Who would have thought it 😜

[Swedish hibee]

Hibs were honking. We could still be playing now & still not score.

[Brightside]

So footage has been shown on TV... no punches thrown?? **** stirring at its finest..

Amazing how many people at the game thought otherwise from 10/20 yards aways... Camera never lies though. He was out of control. Everything a manger should never be.

Absolute pish

[silverhibee]

It wasn't a tussle , it was full out pagger mode - but lack of video evidence might save him - he lost the plot completely. He was like old skool CCS having a swedge while walking from Queen street to Central station ...completely lost it. Took about 5 different players and coaching staff to try to calm him down ...

At least Mcgeouch is getting a longer run out if we're still playing now.

So was it 5 or 8 or 9, or none based on TV pictures. :confused:

Something being hugely overlooked whilst comments of "winner" are being thrown about.

What do we change for the rest of the season to start picking up regular wins again?

Total over reaction. Lennon did nothing wrong.

You are right, the camera doesn't lie - but you do.

He threw no punches, none.

[Pretty Boy]

Please stop this nonsense.

If, say, Holt scored 1 in 3 or even 1 in 4 games we'd be over the horizon by now.

Scoring goals has been an issue all season but we don't concede many, we don't give in, and we are a match for most both in terms of work rate and quality.

Yes of course we'll want to strengthen in the summer, but this is a decent squad.

Some folk need to stop greeting at every single wee setback and look at the bigger picture.

We've failed to win 47% of games this season.

We have scored 3 or more goals in only 5 league games out of 30(17%).

We have had 2 runs of 4 games without winning and one of 2.

Of the top 20 scorers in the league we have Jason Cummings with 16 and Boyle with 7. That's it.

This may be a decent squad but it's underperforming. This isn't a one off as a lot of the same players underperformed in the league last years as well. If we are serious about kicking on mext season then we need quality additions both to the starting 11 and the squad as a whole.

I must have the same eyesight as you, I could have swore I saw him throw punches too, though I was a bit further away than you. Irrespective if he did or not I still think his behaviour was unnaceptable, I guess it's a sign of the times we're willing to accept it at ER from our manager.

[oconnors_strip]

Have a look at sky's version of it......wasn't punches he was throwing, he was trying to shove people out the way to get to Duffy/Morton player

The Morton Manager, his backroom staff, some Morton players and in particular the guy who started it all off were being dicks. Why are you picking on our Manager?

[tamig]

Too far away to see what kicked off but even from the FF you could see the tackle was an absolute assault & I'm not remotely surprised there was an extreme reaction, hopefully
we will find out just what was said & done but I don't think I want to be binning Lennon; he must have very short arms if he threw 5 punches & didn't land once (& no I don't think
fighting's clever).
We need to just calm down a bit & stop attacking each other, & wait to find out what actually happened.
Lousy game, btw, two midfielders doesn't work.
GG
Far too sensible comments 😀

[Jones28]

Good on you mate.

I dont mind admitting I'm wrong, but the smugness of people who have then seen in on tv for another viewing and then getting on their high horse is quite funny

[Northernhibee]

Fair play, no punches thrown but even still a manager shouldn't be losing his temper to that extent.

[leither17]

If that is punches then he needs a good session in the ring with josh taylor to learn how punch!

[angus hibby]

Were you at the game? He is a disgrace... he threw at least 5 punches. How can that be acceptable for a manager of our club.

Jeezo, I was expecting our manager to have been swinging punches wildly going by what has been said on here. Folk imagining things, or just keen to have a go at Lennon at the slightest opportunity? Just seen it, no punches whatsoever. It's Duffy who comes into Hibs' technical area to have a go at Lennon, and Lennon reacts at something that's been said it would seem. Nothing else to see.

If McGregor red card not rescinded, the games gone!

Why have you never mentioned the fact it was Duffy that came into Hibs tech area to confront Lennon, having just watched his interview something stinks about the way the facts have been presented or maybe misrepresented on here.

At the game from where I was it looked really nasty, tbf it all happened at once and after a second viewing it is all a bit handbags at dawn stuff.

Still don't think any need for NL to be trying to go for other managers

No punches thrown!!

Protecting his players, himself and our club.
Morton were out of order for the challenge, the dive and the aftermath!!!!!!

[Brightside]

Aye ok then.... thats the way its going... I thought as a club we are big enough to accept our faults. Lennon should not have reacted in that way. It is that simple. Darren 100% should have a card rescinded. Lennon is delighted it kicked off coz it gets away from such a very poor coaching job tonight. THAT is what really matters. We were poor. It was his fault.

[stantonhibby]

Duffy came looking for him but just ignore that

[kevinc]

His behaviour was disgraceful, and not for the first time either.
P!sh, he was not the aggressor , Duff Jimmy was, no punches thrown, but bash on.

[chrisski33]

Ca nnot believe the utter rank rotten tepid *****y attitude coming out of folk following that ending. Not hibs class, don't want this man associated with our club, blah blah blah. **** off. About time we had some fight. Don't condone violence and Lennon was clearly OTT but some folk seriously need to get a grip with their ponsy, pansy attitude to hibs.

Hear hear! Its about time we had a manager who showed some passion and defended what he saw in front of his eyes. Yes his reaction was OTT But seems clearly those having a go at him dont want him as our manager anyway

[Blaster]

I agree with you as at the game it looked worse but simply because there were so many bodies

The key point you miss is that it's Duffy that comes over to our technical area and has a pop at Lennon. What do you expect him to do?

[Brightside]

You're seeing punches from Lennon that aren't there.

Ive watched it 10 times... they will slow it down at SFA and he WILL get banned. Swinging even in that manner is aggressive behaviour and simply not acceptable. It does not matter what the other team did.

[adhibs]

But no punches were thrown, the performance is another matter.

[stoneyburn hibs]

That Morton player should be hammered for his theatrics involving Daz.

[Jones28]

Ffs gies peace eh? He came over to him but how many times did Lennon go back looking for more? Having to be pulled away by several different people.

You clearly gave issues with lennon and so what his reaction was OTT but at least it shows he cares. No doubt u wont be happy even if he gets us promoted where the last manager couldnt

[Super_JMcGinn]

P!sh, he was not the aggressor , Duff Jimmy was, no punches thrown, but bash on.

Lennon confronted their player, then baldy come rushing over to stick up for his player, something you all seem to be commending Lennon for. He's no good to us sitting in the stand, mind you he's not much use on the touchline either with what i've seen at ER this season.

[Brightside]

Why have you never mentioned the fact it was Duffy that came into Hibs tech area to confront Lennon, having just watched his interview something stinks about the way the facts have been presented or maybe misrepresented on here.

Simply because i do not care about the oppo. I care about my team. I coach kids from a young age not to react to this rubbish... but then they watch this and they think its the right way to react. Its not. Lennon tonight it using this to hide behind a pisssss poor perfomance.

[stoneyburn hibs]

Agree that Lennon will get a ban, but for lunging not punching.

[Northernhibee]

Yep, can only hope that he comes across the same 'challenge' in return in a future game, only twice as hard.

[Brightside]

If you swing it classed as a punch....

I agree. However the other manager does indeed appear in Neil's face first and clearly provokes him. As he said in the super sport Twitter clip it's bad old Lenny.

You're talking nonsence. Lennon was in his technical area. Half the population of Greenock came flying towards him. Would you just stand there with your hands in your pockets? He reacted aggressively but he didn't actually throw a punch.
