Hibs v Morton

[SaulGoodman]

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.

Don't try to backtrack you came onto this thread ranting and raving about Lennon throwing 5 maybe 9 physical punches and led people on a merry dance until the footage showed otherwise. You're a liar.

[Albanian Hibs]

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

When did he swing?

[ehf]

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.

Complete crap.

[Brightside]

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

I actually like Lennon... and he will get us promoted. I'll also probably have a drink with him this weekend and i will say the same thing to him. He will have the bollox to accept his mistake once he calms down. Again this is where forums go wrong. ALL i want is promotion. I'd have had us out the cup at stage one... and yes Lennon will get us up. But make no mistake - he wont hang about. He will be off.

I sit right behind Barry and I got a good view. Lennon done everything right tonight regarding that scrap at the end. I'm only gutted he never chinned the baldy prick. Sorry sometimes when your club and players are getting laid into we need a leader to just ****ing go for it. Far to soft for years.

Well done Neil you have my backing that's for sure.

[Heisenberg]

Some amount of rubbish on here tonight. Lennon acted aggressively as did Duffy. No punches were thrown by either man. The Morton player deserved a red for the tackle and should get a further suspension for the dive. McGreger better be available for Saturday or itll be an absolute joke.

[stoneyburn hibs]

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

You're probably right regarding how the SFA will see it ....still wasn't any punches thrown by NL.

[kevinc]

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.
I'm not commending anyone. Aye , he's hopeless only manager who has been close to getting us out of this league, keep digging Dafty.

Who, if anyone, do you actually like out of the team? In fact, do you actually like anything about Hibs at all?

[Badge]

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.
You getting away from your comments? Get a grip

[sambajustice]

5 punches my arse!! What a load of tripe!

[Brightside]

When did he swing?

6 times on the tape.

[J-C]

[QUOTE=Jones28;4992679]

Same here... 20 yards away. The man is a clown. He should expect at least a 4 match ban. Darren will have his red card rescinded.


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.

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.


6 punches in that clip... id hate you to be my lawyer.



You really do sound like you have a real hatred for the man, you're the only person seeing punches being thrown, are you sure it wasn't the ghost from Tynecastle throwing the punch. :rolleyes:

Give it a rest. You've already embarrassed yourself enough on this thread.

Can you tell anybody how he could possibly fail to 'get involved' there with multiple bodies flying at him?

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.

How do you think someone like Antonio Conte or Mourinho would have reacted? They are as excitable and passionate as anyone and I'm 100% sure they would have been in about opponents if something like this happened at a Chelsea/Man Utd game.

[Craig_in_Prague]

Please don't anyone show children that clip and say it's punches thrown!! Oh dear.

[Jones28]

I guess we'll never know what's been said mate

I'd rather have Lennon's sometimes OTT behaviour than a manager who looks like he doesn't care. We're all different though I guess

Totally agree - just thought it was a bit too far even for Lennon.

Sorry. You would wave your finger and say "poor show young man "on the back of that tackle? "It's ok lads. Don't react. He'll get put in the corner to think about what he just did."
I'm not denigrating good coaching or helping kids to restrain themselves but that was a shocker of a tackle which happened in his tech area.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Frustrating match which ended very nasty. I've watched the incidents and will be disgusted I'd the SFA don't overturn the red given to McGregor. Lennon, he's an emotional guy and is defending his players and club so can totally understand his reaction.

On the game itself, wasn't spectacular but we had enough chances to win it. A bit of luck with the Mcginn shot in the first minute and it's a different game. Morton matched us with a 442 and pressed really really well. Didn't offer much going forward but were solid enough defensively.

Boyle can be so frustrating. Beats his man/men then delivers a terrible cross time after time. The strikers must be pulling their hair out. Don't think anyone from middle to front had a good game tonight whatsoever.

Biggest thing tonight was not losing. We're almost over the line. Personally think that by the time we play Aberdeen, promotion will be confirmed

[wookie70]

From what I can see on the clip he makes more contact with his staff than Mortons. I thought he talked very well about the incident and what he said was exactly what the video showed. That does not excuse his behaviour however understandable. He will get banned for a good few games and rightly so. Duffy should get at least as much as the initial aggressor and their player who made the tackle should get 2 for the tackle and at least one for the dive. Darren should be stripped on Saturday. Quite a few of the Morton players behaviour needs looked at too as they were getting in Lennon's face for no reason. It looked worse at the game than it did on tape.

Lennon being banned might not be such a bad thing as he might get a better view from higher up of the shocking performances his team are putting in most weeks. That may allow him to try and react with a change of tactics when things aren't going as planned. Bringing Dylan on with a few minutes left was a complete joke as the game was crying out for him. If Hanlon wasn't tired or injured I have no idea why he was taken off to make the defence imbalanced and taking off a good passer for someone who just shells it. Lennon is going to get us promoted and that will be a job done. If he wants to stay then he has earnt the right but I really hope he tries to play in a more entertaining fashion because we are really awful to watch. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he has been pragmatic in knowing that we have more to lose going for it than we have to win at this point of the season.

Literally the entire Morton bench - all of them -charged from their dugout towards the incident and Lennon. They entered the Hibernian technical area en masse and at speed all while Lennon very pointedly stood at the touchline (but not on the pitch) facing to the referee and the players. He made no physical contact with the Morton player. The next thing he sees is a gang of Morton staff with Duffy shouting in his face.

And your conclusion is that Lennon was out of order?

Get. A. Grip.

you are right about that. ive never seen duffy move so fast, he was off like a whippet out the trap straight for Lennon!

there were a few squabbles taking place and i thought Lennon was going to lamp him one!

Duffy was pushing folks out the way to get at him while the Hibs security pulled Lennon away!

The tackle that started it all left Jordan on the ground gripping his shoulder, at the end he walked off holding his arm tight against his chest. i hope thats not him out injured again.

OK...just for starters. Why play Bartley who has limited 5 yard movement against a quick and nimble midlfield? We should have been playing round them rather than the other way round. SJM ended up playing deeper therefore much less affective as he had to cover all the time. Our attacks were always down the side of Boyle but our midfield were never there to support any cut back opportunites. Thankfully out defence was very solid...Hanlon and Ambrose were top class tonight. Id have started with martin for some energy and bite in midfield. That way we wouldn't have been chasing the ball as much as we were. We setup as if were were playing against the hammer throwers of falkirk.....Morton actually have quick and nimble midfielders. We were slow and ponderous. Lennon goes home happy with the draw as we are closer to winning the league but it was a very poor performance from Hibs.

Thankfully out defence was very solid...Hanlon and Ambrose were top class tonight. Id have started with martin for some energy and bite in midfield. That way we wouldn't have been chasing the ball as much as we were. We setup as if were were playing against the hammer throwers of falkirk.....Morton actually have quick and nimble midfielders. We were slow and ponderous. Lennon goes home happy with the draw as we are closer to winning the league but it was a very poor performance from Hibs.

An amazing rambling analysis. I particularly enjoyed the last sentence.

[660]

But he did swing at least 6 times.... I've just watched it again. The SFA will ban him. Its not made up - its clear. Whether you thing he was right or wrong doesnt matter. He will get banned as he should never get involved.

Ahahahahah

[660]

Whoops I've just put my coat on in a particularly flamboyant fashion and swung at least 12 times.

[Brightside]

You are the only person that can see punches/swings, whatever you want to call them

Dont get me wrong... Duffy will get banned too. Its totally unacceptable from both. But they will get banned.

[tamig]

OK...just for starters. Why play Bartley who has limited 5 yard movement against a quick and nimble midlfield? We should have been playing round them rather than the other way round.

My response was in the context of your repeated use of the word "transference" throughout this thread. That's what BF's "Eh?" was about. It's the type of word I'd expect to hear said in a rather robotic Dundonian accent. I do agree, however, that the team was set up wrong tonight.

Bartley contributed even less than Holt tonight. We needed pace and movement - we had neither in midfield. Bartley is great against bulky midfield . Morton are small and quick. They are they biggest danger for us.

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. Spot on m8y

[SRHibs]

Classic transference from Lenny.

The problem is that you're making it out to be that Lennon has intentionally manufactured this situation to create this 'transference'. Do you honestly believe that?

[tamig]

My point was pretty clear... we were poor. No one is actually talking about the game. Neil will be delighted about that.

How many times do you hear managers throughout the divisions - in any country - say that it's all about grinding out the results at the business end of the season? We all want to see decent football but every point is crucial and a step nearer promotion. NL should be delighted we are a game and another point nearer our objective. I just don't like people using unnatural sounding buzz words that it sounds like they've just picked up from their latest course. All pish imo. It's the stuff I fully expect from Cathro.

[kevinc]

Disagree, Bartley protected our central defence, not exposed tonight. Our other 3 midfielders offered him little support when Morton had possession and, with the exception of Boyle offered no attacking threat. Bartley constantly covering McGinn being caught on the wrong side and in possession. Thought Boyle, McGinn and Keatings there for the pace and movement, I suppose we all see what we want to see to some degree.

He brought Dylan on for about 5 minutes when I hoped he'd play the whole 2nd half, and Fyvie didn't show at all. Given the way they both trained this week do you still assert that Lennon was wrong? Was Dylan showing the affects from Saturday? Was Fyvie up to speed?

Oh. You weren't privy to any of that? But you'll let us all know where Lennon went wrong.


We all have an opinion, can you see the point i'm making?

[GreenLake]

He was throwing punches?? Where? Unless theres footage ive not seen?

Likely hecwill get banned for being angry- but punching??

There's a reddit thread called #punchgate. Someone else saw 3 or 4 roundhouse kicks and a nose pinch.

Martin was fit as a fiddle..... Wrong game for bartley. But Neil got a draw... he will be happy.

[greenlex]

Coming from a guy who regularly slates players is rich, even by your standards. You thought Gunnarson was crap after a 15 min debut remember?

Not true. I asked what more he brought than Forster. Remember? I did question his signing at the time yes. Glad to record I was too quick to judge and I'd swap them in a heartbeat. You are yet to answer a couple of reasonable and simple questions tho.

[660]

Are you suggesting Neil Lennon would be more happy with a draw than a victory? Or are you just furthering a weird anti Lennon agenda?

I have no Lennon agenda. I like the man. He will be happy with the draw tonight.

[Pete]

Sort of agree about Bartley. If we're playing that formation against a weaker team I'd play Fyvie as he's more mobile and has a dig on him.

On the whole I'd get McGeouch in there as we were crying out for a number ten all night. We have plenty options to make it work.

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

Martin was fit as a fiddle..... Wrong game for bartley. But Neil got a draw... he will be happy.

Come on, throw Martin into that game with all its implications?

I don't agree for a minute that Lennon would have played for a draw either if Dylan, Humphreys or Fyvie were fully fit.

I usually appreciate your contributions but I think it's time time to call it a day.

[Swedish hibee]

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.

But the manager has (ahem) "passion", so that's all that matters.. Nevermind we've failed to win 47% of games.

[CathroMustStay]

But the manager has (ahem) "passion", so that's all that matters..

No.

What matters is we will win the title, and have an upcoming semi final in the Scottish Cup.

Neil Lennon is a born winner. Next season we will improve significantly and the top 6 beckons, with several jamboskelpings galore.

:flag:

[mjhibby]

From what I can see on the clip he makes more contact with his staff than Mortons. I thought he talked very well about the incident and what he said was exactly what the video showed. That does not excuse his behaviour however understandable. He will get banned for a good few games and rightly so. Duffy should get at least as much as the initial aggressor and their player who made the tackle should get 2 for the tackle and at least one for the dive. Darren should be stripped on Saturday. Quite a few of the Morton players behaviour needs looked at too as they were getting in Lennon's face for no reason. It looked worse at the game than it did on tape.

Lennon being banned might not be such a bad thing as he might get a better view from higher up of the shocking performances his team are putting in most weeks. That may allow him to try and react with a change of tactics when things aren't going as planned. Bringing Dylan on with a few minutes left was a complete joke as the game was crying out for him. If Hanlon wasn't tired or injured I have no idea why he was taken off to make the defence imbalanced and taking off a good passer for someone who just shells it. Lennon is going to get us promoted and that will be a job done. If he wants to stay then he has earnt the right but I really hope he tries to play in a more entertaining fashion because we are really awful to watch. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he has been pragmatic in knowing that we have more to lose going for it than we have to win at this point of the season.

Given that this is an our third season in the championship the main priority is getting promoted. We are on course to achieve that us are in the Scottish cup semi. If you had been offered our current position at the start of the season I'm sure we would have taken it. I agree we are drawing too many games at home but it's not a concern re promotion. It's our away record that will get us promoted.

[I'm_cabbaged]

No I'm correct. We were very poor tonight. Midfield was setup totally wrong for the game. He should have changes things at half time. He was wrong tonight and that should be discussed.

Classic transference

[blackpoolhibs]

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.


I don't buy into that garbage. We've drawn 7 out of 15 at home in this league against utter dross.

Two full backs, two wide players, a new front man who can hold the ball up bring players into the game and find that rectangular thing at each end of the ground.

Also Rocky, Efe, and Shinnie are loans and not even ours to keep. And SJM and Cummings could be off if the right offers come in.

Yes a clearout, Keatings, Graham never good enough, if there's no clearout its more of the same boring pish in my opinion.

[Bristolhibby]

But the manager has (ahem) "passion", so that's all that matters.. Nevermind we've failed to win 47% of games.

But if winning 52% of games wins you the league, is it not mission accomplished?

I sit right behind Barry and I got a good view. Lennon done everything right tonight regarding that scrap at the end. I'm only gutted he never chinned the baldy prick. Sorry sometimes when your club and players are getting laid into we need a leader to just ****ing go for it. Far to soft for years.

Well done Neil you have my backing that's for sure.

Maybe not condoning the violence quite so much :greengrin but that is pretty much how I see it and agree Lennon did very little if anything wrong.

I must be watching a different film from most people. There is a shocking late challenge on foster,daz is raging as he knows the history of Forster, there is no headbutt and the Morton player goes down disgracefully. Our manager is raging at both incidents then the morton bench then pile over to have a go at Lennon. There is no punches thrown and it's the morton bench and the player feigning injury who should have the book thrown at them. There is either an anti lennon element on .net or more likely a lot of mischief making by others lets say. It shows the state of Scottish football when a team trying to get to the spl try and foul and disrupt play the whole time,feign injury after a shocking challenge and whose bench then steam into hibs area. Absolute nonsense this is being made out to he all about our manager. Do you think Roy Keane or Mourinho would just stand and watch that. We should stop constantly looking for faults in our team and look at the big picture. They came for a draw as they know that's the best they will do. Ten points ahead and just need to seal the deal now.

Lennon did everything I would expect of a Hibs coach. Good on him. He tried to protect his players.

[brog]

I haven't seen it mentioned on this thread yet ( quite possible I missed a comment or 20 ) but O'Ware's behaviour is shocking. At first I thought he was going for Darren after the supposed headbutt, but no, his whole attention is focused on Lennon. Even after everything has died down he's trying to kick it off again & Brian Graham has to control him. I don't think we'll see O'Ware in a Hibs jersey any time soon. I suspect he's a rabid, NL hating, West of Scotland supporter!!

Last night you claimed our manager threw 5 or 6 punches, which was a total fabrication. He didn't swing at anybody - it was a bit of pushing and shoving, and he wasn't the instigator.

[Hibrandenburg]

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.

Is this your "Official" fallback position?

Totally totally agree with every point in your post, particularly re anti Lennon element on .net, there is a minority, but a substantial minority that fall into that category, they try to hide it behind waffle but it just spills out after every game.

[angus hibby]

I'm out. I know what is expected of a manger at any level. Neil Lennon knows that also. When he calms down he will apologise to Hibs. He will get banned. Probably for 3 games, for his reaction. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT THEY DO..... that defence does not wash with the SFA. He knows that also. Bottom line. Very poor from Hibs tonight. Poor set up and poor execution.

I apologise if I've missed it but what about the reaction of our captain? After the tackle, he runs to confront the Morton player (i.e. angry about the tackle on his team mate and rightly so). So our leader on the park reacts angrily but I've not seen you criticise him!

IMO, McGregor and Lennon have simply reacted to a dangerous tackle and are correct to be irate as it could have caused serious injury. I don't have a problem with what either of them did - most would have reacted the same way but what gets me is the "Lennon was out of order" garbage. Surely those criticising Lennon should be doing the same with our captain on the night, but I haven't seen anything about that.

He entered the field of play, managers are not allowed to do that, he was pulled away several times by players security guy and then coaching staff and it was all done in an aggressive manner, the SFA will hammer him, his previous bans will see to that, Hibs as a club will more than likely be fined for not controlling our players.

His interview after the game, the square go comment, wasn't a sensible thing to say, infact someone at Hibs should have got Lennon away from it all to calm him down, you could see in the interview he was still on the verge of going again, i did wonder why the interview stopped when it did, (at the square go bit) as it seemed he had more to say, my thoughts were that our media guy might have called a halt to the press interview in case NL said something he shouldn't.

What are the chances of our game away to them being moved from the 3 o'clock KO on Saturday to being moved to another date so that Sky can show it live,maybe on the Sunday as this game now has the possibility of being a powder keg game.

His interview went on a lot longer than when he said Duffy asked for a square go, it hasn't all been published - and was very measured (if angry).

Agree the SFA will hammer Lennon, but they must also hammer Jim "honest I am a reasonable guy" Duffy and half his coaching staff.

If there is any justice (I doubt it) Daz will have his red rescinded.
