Lennon / Hanlon

[noz]

anybody see them arguing in the dug out when Hanlon got taken off?

[SChibs]

Seen it but not making anything of it

[overdrive]

I think he was blaming him for giving away the free kick for the goal.

[The Tubs]

When I saw the replay of the 2nd goal it looked like Kamberi lost Naismith, but I might have been mistaken.

It couldn't have been for either of the fouls down that side as Hanlon did nothing wrong.

[cleanyman]

Hanlon was pish. That foul he gave away was amateur hour

[CMac1988]

Hanlon got it tight for the freekick but I didn't think it was one tbh. Equally I don't really think you can blame him for the goal as again it was Stevenson who got caught out.

[The Tubs]

If that's the case, then Lennon is wrong. Laaferty falls for no particular reason.

[PeeJay]

Hanlon was asleep for both goals, although it was NOT a foul by Hanlon for the second one - he won't be the only one getting a mouthful from Lennon in the dressing room ... pity as Hanlon has actually had a great season, as has the team

Laugherty fell over never a foul

[IGRIGI]

Glad I saw it, thankful to have a manager that is not accepting one ounce of pish against them.

It was a foul for the second goal, it’s a bit harsh to be overly critical of Hanlon though, it was just an accidental collision, it happens but it was definitely a foul imo

[IGRIGI]

Also, even if it wasnt a foul in the lead up to the 2nd goal, Hanlon should never have been in the position he was up against Lafferty.

[staunchhibby]

Watched it again.Never a foul lafferty slipped

[OtleyHibs]

I didn’t think it was a foul, where I would criticise Hanlon is allowing Lafferty to be goal side of him in the first place

[Thecat23]

Hanlon was on the wrong side to start with before the free kick. He had a mate along with Stevenson it happens we move on.

He fouled him because he was slow and on the wrong side of him, then stumbled and clipped his heel. It was bad positioning and a cheap foul to give away in a dangerous location.

Possibly but mistakes happen, was definitely a foul though, even if it was accidental.

There was plenty of defending to do after that though so I think blaming Hanlon for it is very harsh

[Dinkydoo]

I think some people need to watch it again. Never a foul.

Whatever contact is made, happens. Then both players carry on in a totally upright position, there is a clear gap between them, then Lafferty (is it?) falls.

It's a dive.

[Greenbeard]

Not Hanlon's fault we lost. Lost it in midfield. For a good while I thought I'd missed McGinn going off. Wish Swanson had been given some game time.

Agree.

It was a total dive. Lafferty takes at least two strides then takes a really blatant dive. I can’t believe anyone saying it was a foul has seen it from all angles. It’s a shocker.

[Vini1875]

Afraid Neil will wake up and realise he tried to be too clever. He underestimated CL's kick anything approach and we had too many who weren't up for a battle on the night. Disappointing but if celtc win we are still heading to europe although £0.5M worse off and that is the real cost of tonight.

He took two steps and saw the ball getting away and threw himself to the ground - I admit we were poor but that was a pure dive.

[B.H.F.C]

Not Hanlon's fault we lost. Lost it in midfield. For a good while I thought I'd missed McGinn going off. Wish Swanson had been given some game time.

The two goals we lost were nothing to do with the midfield.

[Since90+2]

It's not a foul for the second but if Hanlon is marking correctly and doesn't let Lafferty get goal side in the first place it doesn't happen. Hanlon has been very good this season but his positional sense cost us a goal tonight that ultimately cost us the game.
