As a 59 year old I have seen managers come and go, including our legend, Eddie Turnbull - the benchmark in terms of putting together a machine that played beautiful football and could mix it when needed with players like Blackley, Black, Schaedler and Edwards in our ranks.
Lennon without doubt, for me, is the best manager we have had since those heady days of the early 70s.
I really do feel that we are witnessing a team that is both pleasing-on-the-eye and physically imposing - much like Lennon's Celtic side of a few years ago. The fight and controlled aggression, coupled with the quality and skill, we are seeing all over the pitch is rare and exciting. The collective belief and know-how is there for all to see - falling behind to both Partick and Sevco and going on to comfortably win. But then again did we not also fall behind to the jambos last season and comfortably dispose of them too?
Is history about to repeat itself, with a dominant and supreme Celtic clinching the championship with ourselves as runners up - think back to The Tornadoes.
For those still holding back going to Easter Road, get yourself along and be witness to a truly gifted and rare side - a side that not only Sevco and Hearts now fear, but has the whole of Scottish football sitting up and commenting on.
Hear hear, im 55 but I would put this team down as the bet I've seen, anyone not got a season ticket yet should get down to Easter Road before the Hamilton game on Saturday or just sign up on-line. And experience going to Easter Road expecting to win rather than hoping, its a really good feeling

He is, and he was getting it tight from the Sevconians anaw, but he's a bit more level-headed than Lenny so he didn't rise to it.

We need to back this man to the hills. I'm only 27, but he is by far and away the best manager I've ever seen in the Easter Road dugout. (ly Stubbsy)
Lets get the man a new contract asap incidentally.
Sevco fans have shown again why they are Scotland's shame, and I'm sure our board will stand by our manager.

I am also 59 and am thinking exactly this. Potentially it's just the start so hopefully we can keeo the momentum going for more than just one season. Murray is beginning to look More and more like an Alan Gordon
I really like Simon Murray but I wouldn't compare him to Alan Gordon
Alan Gordon was better in the air and had a better touch but didn't have Simon's energy or fitness.
I would say Simon was more like the Garry O'Connor that left to go to Russia but again with upgraded energy and desire

I saw the warning line too - the BBC, despite being banned from Ibrox, still absolutely ******* themselves about anything that might offend the Huns.
Its actually ridiculous that the lead story is "polis look into an arm gesture" instead of the far more sinister "Death Threats to Lennon" which is relegated to half way down the article FFS.

He reminds me of Colin Stein, actually. Only thing against him is that he went to Ibrox so early in his career, but he was a very good player.
I think Simon has a lot more between his ears than O'Connor. Not that that would be difficult. :rolleyes:

Stein was before my time Doddie, the first game I can remember for sure was Joe Baker's return but I know I went before that.
I remember being told before GOC had even established himself in the Hibs team that there were "issues" and that Police were looking out for him.
I know that Hibs & RP in particular tried many times to help him over the years without success.
His fall from grace still saddens me as I thought that just before he went to Russia he was unplayable and that he could play for Scotland for years.
SM is made of much different stuff and his father, his background and late arrival in the pro-game will ensure he doesn't go off the rails or get too far ahead of himself.

Lennon's gestures are no worse than what we've had back from Peter Houston at Easter Road during various Falkirk games, it winds us up but we don't go crying to the police afterwards!
Some of the stuff I've heard today at work has been beyond belief! Folks in very senior positions being the worst and most bitter!

Lets not forget Nicholson's crotch grabbing and Skacel's 5-1 salute to name but two that have happened to us in the last couple of seasons but unlike rangers fans we have a moan about it and move on without the need to go crying to the police or releasing statements saying we showed restraint not to start rioting.
In fact it speaks volumes that Rangers fans think that NOT starting a violent riot and attacking an opposition manager is something to be commended, like that is something thata any other normal football fans would do when faced with a bit of goading from the opposition.

The presenters should be asking every Rangers fan that calls in whether or not they were shouting any sectarian abuse at Lennon or singing sectarian songs on Saturday or at any time ever. An extra long hesitant pause before the inevitable denial would be a giveaway to what the true answer is.

The report on BBC headlined the 'death threats' first and then 'Lennon's' behaviour. Maybe I misinterpreted but I felt that the Sevco supporter hard line accusations and demands have softened and that ' a warning to Lennon as to his future behaviour at Ibrox' was their line. Have they taken stock of their own role in the scheme of things and realised that it takes two to tango?

Yes the celebration from Dorrans was to his own fans. Lots of Rangers fans on Twitter pointing out this crucial difference between him and Lennons GIRUY gestures ...... whilst conveniently forgetting the likes of Leigh Griffiths and Michael Higdon were given one match bans for making identical gestures to their own supports in the past.
Still though, they are the victims of corrupt refs etc

I am still over the moon about beating the most disgusting football club in world football but am getting really hacked off about the way this is being reported. When will the authorities and the media in this country report the real issue and that is the deep rooted, inbuilt, institutional bigotry, racism and homophones within that club. It is tolerated and in fact it looks like it is encouraged at Ibrox but the media lap up any statement made by them like they are the UN.
Excellent post and fully agree about how disgusting the lack of reporting their is regarding the sectarianism we ensure every single trip through there.
The media in this country are **** bags. Whether paper journalists or tv "experts" Nobody has the balls to stand up to this nonsense.

All know the problem's not NL cupping his ears - that's banter to all but snowflake Huns. It's the GIRUY gesture that crosses the line (if he did indeed do that and it's proven). In that case, he's going to have to accept a clip across the ear for that.
In saying that, whoever is ruling on NL's behaviour needs to take into account the extenuating circumstances and the vile, bigoted, abuse NL gets and got at Ibrox. The SFA / PS have an opportunity to send a clear message to The Rangers and their horrible fans that their behaviour cannot be ignored and will be taken into account.
The media talk about NL's gesture being provocative but they've got that the wrong way round. The Huns provoked a reaction from NL, so they need to be held to account. High time they were.

Just seen his celebration. Absolutely brilliant and a reaction to the horrendous abuse he was getting which funnily enough the rangers didn't mention in their statement. It's only because their fans are moronic that this is an issue. Lennon reaction is prompted by the abuse. Stop the abuse then no reaction. Simples.

I don't know why Lennon puts himself through it. The treatment he receives from Scotland's bigoted lunatic fringe must make him wonder whether it's all worth the hassle. We all knew that the animals inside Ibrox would subject him to constant bigotry and then try to turn the tables. His safety must be a constant worry to him and his family.
The deafening choruses of 'whose the fenian in the black' seem to be conveniently swept under the carpet due to the NL chat.

Hibernian have returned to the Ladborkes Premiership with two deserved wins from two, plus progression in the Betfred Cup. It is now time to respect Neil Lennon’s side and take them seriously, writes Joel Sked. READ MORE - Five things we learned from Rangers 2 - 3 Hibs Hibernian head coach Neil Lennon celebrates at full time. Picture: SNS/Alan Harvey “I want to finish best of the rest.” Already promoted, Hibs were unlucky to go down 3-2 to Aberdeen in a topsy-turvy Scottish Cup semi-final. Neil Lennon was, understandably, feeling buoyant having witnessed his side hold their own against the second best team in the country. Days later, on BT Sport as a guest for the Premiership play-offs, he proclaimed his intentions. An ambition which was, to an extent, ridiculed. Over the summer, one in which they lost talismanic goalscorer Jason Cummings, Lennon didn’t quite renege on his hopes for Hibs on their return to the top-flight, but he became more coy, more guarded. Only recently, in an interview, he spoke of staying in the division first and foremost, making sure a club of the stature of Hibernian never found themselves below the top tier again. However, behind closed doors he has been more forcible in his aims, his players well aware of what is expected of them. Back in May, it seemed a case of over-excitement. ‘Calm down, Neil. You are back with the big boys now.’ Celtic would dominate, Derek McInnes had been building a resolute and respected squad for a number of seasons, and Rangers had the financial advantage. St Johnstone were, well, St Johnstone. Right them off at your peril. Then, Hearts. The Gorgie management team promised that the squad would be refreshed and rejuvenated in preparation for a fight for the European places. Nearly 100 Days have passed since Lennon was sitting at Tannadice, the abuse from Falkirk fans clear, pointed but acceptable, expressing his confidence in his side. At one point this summer, around the time Kyle Lafferty opted for Tynecastle instead of Easter Road, that confidence among Hibs fans was waning, concerns expressed about the club’s lack of strengthening. Five Betfred Cup and two league games later, it has shown to be no more than needless worry. Neil Lennon, his squad of players and Hibernian Football Club mean business. READ MORE - Judging the referee’s performance in Rangers 2 - 3 Hibs Much of the aftermath of Saturday’s defeat of Rangers has focused on John Beaton’s performance, and the wailing and whining from a minority of Rangers fan about Lennon’s apparent ‘inflammatory’ behaviour: ‘Football manager celebrates goal passionately in front of stand of people who have given him dog’s abuse’. The shock and horror of it. However, it has meant that the Hibs performance has somewhat gone under the radar. Lennon made reference to it in the post-match interview, his team seemed spooked in the opening 15 minutes. The indefatigable and, surprisingly, intelligent running of Simon Murray gave the team a foothold in the game, the striker netting a fine individual goal. Even before Ryan Jack’s contentious red card, the away side were in the ascendancy. Having played with a back four for the majority of the season, Lennon switched to a back three. Without key players Martin Boyle, who offers width, directness and pace, and Marvin Bartley, a man who appears to do the job of two defensive midfielders, the Northern Irishman simply restructured. No issue at all, the players were used to the switch, Hibs comfortable in a variety of formations. To some teams, when switching between systems, it can appear that they have never set foot on grass before let alone kicked a football. Not Hibs, Lennon has worked on structure and organisation. No matter the system or personnel there is a solid base to the team, one hard to penetrate, while simultaneously being set up to accompany a variety of attacking avenues. This was clear before the ruckus which lead to the red card in the 36th minute. Hibs’ midfield three had gained control, with Murray stretching play. Both Dylan McGeouch, a wonderfully flexible, tactical and technical midfielder, and the unfussed Vykintas Slivka were key, but it was John McGinn who was the dominant individual. When breaking through at St Mirren it was remarkable that this was a player who had just turned 18. While he played with a carefree attitude and the enthusiasm of a teenager, there was also an incredible physique. He looked like a boxer but had the ‘legs’ of a middle-distance runner. He was a coup by Hibs, earning Scotland recognition in the second tier. While arguably the most talented player in the Championship in the past two seasons, and despite the player of the year award, there were numerous underwhelming displays. It was as if he needed a bigger challenge, a step up. He has got that step up and, so far, has risen to the challenge. READ MORE - Why Simon Murray reminds Hibs fans of Kenny Miller The way he went up against Abdul Osman against Partick Thistle, treating him like a piñata. The way he swaggered around Ibrox with a purpose, controlling the flow of the game. He has laid down an early marker to say ‘this is my midfield and you’re not going to get a sniff’. It’s like watching a younger, perhaps more rounded, Scott Brown. Opposition players are treated with the lack of respect they deserve. If he was playing in Spain he’d be referee to as a todocampista - the complete midfielder, someone who can access all areas of play. Yet, the 22-year-old is just one of a number of impressive performers in a flexible, versatile and balanced squad. One which puts their capital rivals to shame. Question marks were raised about Murray’s adjustment to life as a Premiership striker. So far he has been electric. He’s a goalscoring N’Golo ****e. More astutely, Lennon has added proven Premiership and international experience throughout the spine. Players who know how to play and, more importantly, win. No matter the conditions, no matter situation. Plus the addition of two Lithuanian internationalists who add the foreign mystique all fans love. It has all amounted to the most balanced squad in the top-flight. They have the pace on the counter-attack, a sufficient defensive arsenal, a reliable goalkeeper, creativity, width and goals. As New Order sang in their World in Motion hit, “You’ve got to hold and give, but do it at the right time. You can be slow or fast, but you must get to the line. They’ll always hit you and hurt you, defend and attack.” Hibs can do bit of everything. As well as the technical and tactical qualities, they also have the physical and mental attributes. READ MORE - SFA to investigate over Neil Lennon’s gesture to Rangers fans The team have been whipped into shape. They are not quite The Monstars from Space Jam but there is a big, powerful backbone to the team, a required characteristic of any successful Scottish side. What makes them more frightening is the likes of Steven Whittaker, McGregor, Efe Ambrose and Bartley can all shift. Further up the field there are willing runners to put pressure on the opposition, players who, you feel, could play 90 minutes back-to-back. Tieing it all together is Lennon. As impressive as he has been with his recruitment, organisation and strategy, the one over-arching trait he has instilled has been a stronger mentality. Not just within the playing squad, but the fans and club as a whole. Even after the Scottish Cup win, Lennon still spoke of Hibs as a soft-touch. While the axing of the cup hoodoo acted as a hammer to the ‘Hibsed it’ mentality, Lennon has got out his chisel and removed the little negatives which were still around, refining the psychology of the club. The cup win, the promotion, the superiority in derbies, the positive messages spread by those working behind the scenes and Lennon’s bullishness has all fed into a better, more jovial atmosphere. Rather than having opponents poke fun at the club - whether it was for their ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory or simply making a mess of the club’s official Twitter handle - they are being recognised for their forward-looking both on and off the park. A disenfranchised and estranged support has been re-energised. There is a connection between the fans and the players, the fans and the club. Their away following is ‘bouncier’, the home support noisier and more colourful. Everything has come together to help develop the club and move it forward. It has taken a relegation and three seasons in the Championship but Hibs are making strides rather than steps forward. As one. Leading it all is Neil Lennon. Rather than revolution he has brought evolution to the club. There’s a resilience, a robustness, to Hibs. They should now, more than ever, be respe

As New Order sang in their World in Motion hit, “You’ve got to hold and give, but do it at the right time. You can be slow or fast, but you must get to the line. They’ll always hit you and hurt you, defend and attack.” Hibs can do bit of everything. As well as the technical and tactical qualities, they also have the physical and mental attributes. READ MORE - SFA to investigate over Neil Lennon’s gesture to Rangers fans The team have been whipped into shape. They are not quite The Monstars from Space Jam but there is a big, powerful backbone to the team, a required characteristic of any successful Scottish side. What makes them more frightening is the likes of Steven Whittaker, McGregor, Efe Ambrose and Bartley can all shift. Further up the field there are willing runners to put pressure on the opposition, players who, you feel, could play 90 minutes back-to-back. Tieing it all together is Lennon. As impressive as he has been with his recruitment, organisation and strategy, the one over-arching trait he has instilled has been a stronger mentality. Not just within the playing squad, but the fans and club as a whole. Even after the Scottish Cup win, Lennon still spoke of Hibs as a soft-touch. While the axing of the cup hoodoo acted as a hammer to the ‘Hibsed it’ mentality, Lennon has got out his chisel and removed the little negatives which were still around, refining the psychology of the club. The cup win, the promotion, the superiority in derbies, the positive messages spread by those working behind the scenes and Lennon’s bullishness has all fed into a better, more jovial atmosphere. Rather than having opponents poke fun at the club - whether it was for their ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory or simply making a mess of the club’s official Twitter handle - they are being recognised for their forward-looking both on and off the park. A disenfranchised and estranged support has been re-energised. There is a connection between the fans and the players, the fans and the club. Their away following is ‘bouncier’, the home support noisier and more colourful. Everything has come together to help develop the club and move it forward. It has taken a relegation and three seasons in the Championship but Hibs are making strides rather than steps forward. As one. Leading it all is Neil Lennon. Rather than revolution he has brought evolution to the club. There’s a resilience, a robustness, to Hibs. They should now, more than ever, be respe

If any of the group in the famous five are reading, any chance we can get a banner made, as big as logistically possible, with Lennon doing the cupped ears in the style of the banner at the Partick game made for the rangers match?

I used to think Sked was a grade A roaster, but there's been a few articles from him recently that have been on the money. That's a very good summation of where Hibs are at

Nice upbeat piece about our manager, showing some media have already moved on to next stage of dealing with a Hibs manager / team who have temerity to beat Sevco or Celtic in Glasgow ...
Pre-match - Ambivalence, trending towards Disdain.
Day 1-3 (during and post-match) - Outrage, denial and Deflection
Day 4 (once the dust has settled) - Reluctant Acceptance and Recognition
Day 5 onward - Fulsome Praise and Removal of the Offending Article :cb
