We somehow rescued a draw from a terrible almost capitulation and that celebration was perfect. 10/10

Brilliant from him, if you still needed proof he's passionate about Hibs that was it.

Personally, I found it a bit embarrassing and cringeworthy, but I’m happy to forego my feelings to get the Sevco muppets rabid with fury. :greengrin

[wookie70]

Not for me. He was rightly sent to the stand and may well pick up a ban. Fun yes but also unprofessional. I'm surprised the announcer never piped up about a grown man invading the pitch rather than a few bairns.

I'm more interested in watching the players and team than the manager and he has lots to be proud of in the way they played for him this year. It seems to be the way he is though and clearly lots of fans love it. For me I'd rather see him aeroplaning towards the Hibs fans on the right side of the line. When we scored the first thought I had was to celebrate with my family and friends. The GIRUY follows after the important bit is over.

It's clear that he wears his heart on his sleeve. Might be unprofessional but he's only human and was simply letting off steam after having to listen to that lot calling him a fenion b for the duration of the game. Surely you can cut him some slack?
A manager who cares and has character, I'll take that every time.

[Onion]

End of season banter by Lennon after being continually called a Fenian ******* by the Huns. Fair game. He should get zero punishment.

Think he hates the Huns more than he loves Hibs though.

Plenty ways to let off steam and it doesn't really bother me in the slightest as there was so much on the park today to entertain regardless of his small cameo appearance. Given the week he has had it was maybe understandable but then again so would have been trying to keep out the limelight, not his style though.

If Lennon wants to continue to call the players unprofessional, which has happened a good few times, then I think he needs to have a high professional standard himself. It was a fairly insignificant thing on a great day for football, which he contributed to greatly by sending us out with belief to go for the jugular and by adding to an already good team with yet more attacking talent. He and the team have done really well this year and I hope there is more to come. I'd be quite happy if he stayed off the pitch and out of the stand though next year.

[Kato]

Jeez, he cups his ears and the stickies want him arrested. So he carefully celebrates by keeping his hands as far from his ears as possible and they still ain't happy.

[Pretty Boy]

Only in Scotland could one guy celebrating be painted as more controversial than 1500 people aiming sectarian abuse at the same man.

The DR article sums it up. A sort of disbelieving, incredulous tone that NL has dared to mention the songs and a lot of implication that he is in the wrong.

Good on him I say and if he gets a fine I'll happily put my hand in my pocket to help him or the club pay it.

"Well they make it personal don't they? You all hear it.

"They are singing sectarian songs at me. It's just a little bit of 'have some of that'.

"I enjoyed the moment. It was a big jumbo jet there."

Completely agree with all of that :agree: But it's time for EVERYONE to call those ****ers out about their wee ditties.

Watching Cliff Pikes interview with him post match, I was imagining myself in Cliffs shoes,and I'd ask

'Neil, does it not beggar belief that in this day and age, thousands of supporters of that particular club, can call you a fenian so and so, every single time we play them, and not a single word is said about it? Are you angry that the journalist community, of which I am a part, is complicit in ignoring the bigotry and prejudice that continues to shame us? '.

Lenny’s learning to fly
But he ain’t got wings
Sent to the stand
It’s just one of his things

Wait for the DR trying to tell everyone that he really did drop some live bombs on the the thes fans and that several injuries have been reported

[Mick O'Rourke]

Cannae stop laughing at that.
Never seen anything like it
Coming to cinema near you very soon.
"The Lenny has Landed"
What is he like ?
He must have known he would get grounded and his wings clipped.
But he did not give a jot.
Up there with the "cupped ears",but funnier!

On a more serious note
That hateful mob have tormented the man for years.
On and off the park
Its shameful and an indictment on our society that this vile behavior has been allowed to continue with the new club.
For them its not about football,is it?
Has anyone heard them sing a "football song" at games?
Not i ..Not for many many years anyway.

Afaic, for just those few seconds it took Lennie to do his 'Hibee-Dreamliner' impersonation, he represented the entire Hibs-support (and Scottish Football in general) by giving the GIRFUY to the most loathesome, hateful, repugnant 'support' in, if not the world, then certainly the British Isles - the Hun and it's nasty little club contribute 'Zero' to the game or the country and are nothing more than a constant embarassment !

I remember being told off at school for writing ‘airplane’ - no such thing according to my teacher!

😠Well, ‘aeroplane’ is the correct spelling here in Scotland - nothing old school about it matey!. ‘Airplane’ on the other hand is another example of an Americanism creeping into usage because of the deluge of Yank movies and products drowning our culture ...which just isn’t acceptable!😁. Lenny does the aeroplane not the airplane!✈️

Jeez what a read. I knew I picked the wrong day to quit amphetamines.

[Sammy7nil]

Personally, I found it a bit embarrassing and cringeworthy, but I’m happy to forego my feelings to get the Sevco muppets rabid with fury. :greengrin

Me too get the ba bang it in the centre asap and win the ******g game. Anything else is just silly

“Well they make it personal don’t they?” he said. “You all hear it. They are singing sectarian songs at me. It’s just a little bit of: ‘Have some of that.’

“It was worth it. Trust me. Bobby was fine about it. I should not get a ban for that. I was just letting them know how pleased I was to get the equaliser. I enjoyed the moment. It was a big jumbo jet there.”

Some boy.....:thumbsup:

[Ryan69]

Fair point.
I thought it was funny at the time but given the drive to define Hun as a sectarian term, which it isn’t, we could pay a price.

Its not sectarian though.

I believe its due to a friendly match against Everton that The Rangers fans caused absolute chaos down there.
One reporter described them as a bunch of Marauding Huns....and its stuck from that day.
Its also a term used for enemy. Some people refered to the Germans a huns(during the war).

Loved the aeroplane

Loved the banner

Though the announcer was a wee bit OTT threatening that the players would leave the pitch just because about 20 bairns had run on

What a season its been .... Following Hibs is often frustrating, often drives you nuts, has reduced me to tears at times .... but its never never boring :greengrin

Did the yanks not invent the flying machine? So I suppose they have every right to name it and decide on the spelling. Just a thought.

If it was just bairns I’d agree, but when teenagers and grown men are surrounding Scott Allan who had his wee kid and literally taking his boots off his feet then something had to be said.

What a season and what a team this is though, genuinelu wouldn’t have it any other way.

Am I missing the significance of this celebration? Why an aeroplane?

Possibly still suffering from flew.

Brilliant, GIRFU the lot of them. They gave him dogs abuse so good on him for having a bit of fun.

Agreed mostly - although I suspect the announcer hasn't much choice but to discourage any form of invasion... even if it was just a bit of youthful.. ahem.. exuberance.

As for the Aeroplane celebration.. I've never said it on here before, but think I am ready to now... I love Neil Lennon. :greengrin

[I'm Spartacus]

Great moment! Would have been 100 times better if I hadn't been raging with him all week!!!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Cannae stop laughing at that.
Never seen anything like it
Coming to cinema near you very soon.
"The Lenny has Landed"
What is he like ?
He must have known he would get grounded and his wings clipped.
But he did not give a jot.
Up there with the "cupped ears",but funnier!

On a more serious note
That hateful mob have tormented the man for years.
On and off the park
Its shameful and an indictment on our society that this vile behavior has been allowed to continue with the new club.
For them its not about football,is it?
Has anyone heard them sing a "football song" at games?
Not i ..Not for many many years anyway.
Sad

I cannae work out what the tune is for this.

[Brizo]

Brilliant stuff from Lenny.

Bottom line is anti Catholic abuse remains Scotlands acceptable shame.

If Lenny was black, gay or Muslim and been subjected to 90 minutes abuse because of it , the Scottish media and Scottish Parliament would be all over it today.

Anti Catholic abuse just gets swept under the carpet and if it takes the "aeroplane" to highlight it fair play to Lennon.

[sadtom]

I have a bit of an issue with the banner.
Why is their a 'space'? Surely Hunsc*m should be just one word.
If there is a fine i'm up for chucking in a few quid.
Good on Lenny. As has been said lets get their sectarian filth highlighted.

A wee attempt at a song (with flying motion as per the gaffer) I know its not the full song/tune...just the first verse repeated 3 times with different words and a big Sinatra finish.

Come fly like Neil, lets fly,
lets fly away.
The abuse they use when they're full of booze
Is just hate and big-o-try
So lets fly like Neil, lets fly,
lets fly away.

Come fly like Neil, lets fly,
lets fly away.
We shut you up, like when we we won the cup,
with David Gray, that day in May.
So lets fly like Neil, lets fly,
lets fly away.

Come fly like Neil, lets fly,
lets fly away.
3 from MacLaren, 1 Scotty Allan

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Sir David Gray]

Only in Scotland could one guy celebrating be painted as more controversial than 1500 people aiming sectarian abuse at the same man.

The DR article sums it up. A sort of disbelieving, incredulous tone that NL has dared to mention the songs and a lot of implication that he is in the wrong.

Good on him I say and if he gets a fine I'll happily put my hand in my pocket to help him or the club pay it.

So would I.

There's no danger he should be fined for what he did.

We scored in the last minute to equalise in a match that finished 5-5 I want my manager reacting like that in those circumstances.

[Brizo]

If it was racist, homophobic or anti-islamic abuse coming from The Rangers fans.... that too would be swept under the rug. In fact, i'm pretty sure it is.

I'm not convinced about that. I'm sure your right that type of bigotry exists but it isn't at the level of tens of thousands of home fans at Ibrox or whole away supports like yesterday joining in with it.

Id maintain that thirty or forty thousand at Ibrox chanting the n word for example , would create a very different response from our media and politicians than the lip service response (at best) when thirty or forty thousand chant about "fenians".

[The Green Goblin]

Just as legendary as the mo-bot/the bolt. Moment of the season for me.

:greengrin Possibly my favourite ever Hibs goal related celebration.

[The Green Goblin]

Not for me. 1.He was rightly sent to the stand and may well pick up a ban. Fun yes but also unprofessional. 2. I'm surprised the announcer never piped up about a grown man invading the pitch rather than a few bairns.

I'm more interested in watching the players and team than the manager and he has lots to be proud of in the way they played for him this year. It seems to be the way he is though and clearly lots of fans love it. For me I'd rather see him aeroplaning towards the Hibs fans on the right side of the line. 3. When we scored the first thought I had was to celebrate with my family and friends. The GIRUY follows after the important bit is over.

1. I really don’t think he gave a ****. Neither did I. It was well worth it.

2. He’s the Hibs manager.

3. Do you have a pdf set of instructions for the “correct” or “appropriate” manner in which to celebrate the scoring of a goal during a competitive football association match? Do share. :aok:

Oh Scottish football, please never change

In a normal world, Hibernian drawing 5-5 with Rangers should have been the most newsworthy and funny thing about Scottish football today, but this is not a normal world, and the Scottish Premiership is not a normal league.

Neil Lennon's side had raced into a 3-0 lead inside the first half, before his side conceded five goals, finding themselves 5-3 down to a very happy Rangers team.

It all looked pretty downhill for Hibs and Lennon at that point. It did not seem like a day which would at one point see Lennon doing an airplane celebration on the pitch.

But thankfully, today was that day. Going into the fourth minute of injury time 5-4 down, Hibs' Jamie Maclaren scored his third of the game, equaling the score and sending Easter Road into rapturous delight.

It was at this point that Lennon, presumably seconds after having his body taken over by an excitable toddler, sprinted onto the pitch with his arms extended, like said toddler ignoring a "Stay Off The Grass" sign in favour of living his best life.

He then continued to run with a face which suggested that, right then and there, he was the happiest person in the world, leaning left and then right as his little airplane weaved through invisible obstacles.

He finished it off with a lovely little run up and fist pump in the air, before being swiftly sent off by referee Andrew Dallas.

But Lennon didn't care, because he is an airplane.

Someone good at that kinda stuff, should take some footage of a game like Sundays, with them in full sectarian singing mode, & replace the anti-catholic words with anti black/gay/muslim words & post the video to the SFA. But, also, keep a copy which could potentially be seen worldwide. It’s amazing how much the potential of really bad press concentrates even the most unwilling of minds

Lenny is a top man allied with being a great manager. A season to remember that had us chasing second place up until virtually the last couple of games. With very healthy attendances and a good board in situ that will support Lenny once again in recruitment close season there's exciting times ahead and here's to next season with another crack at cup honors and finishing as high up the league as we possibly can.

We don't have our house anywhere near enough in order to support strict liability. Its a total can of worms. If strict liability comes in I'd be willing to bet that neither zombie fc or celtc are the first clubs punished. The SFA/SPFL would be absolutely desperate to show that 'sectarianism' is a societal problem and not an old firm problem.

It would only take 1 Hibs fan to spill a bovril and shout out 'Jesus' and they'd have us in the dock for religious hatred.

He had 2 matches suspended for having a go at Clancy and assuming the additional 2 will be because of his record. Utterly ludicrous decision when you look at the circumstances and the emotion.

Hopefully Hibs will be mentioning the sectarian singing in the hearing - and also maybe question why Lafferty hasn't been pulled up for his questionable right hand salute in simultaneous games against us and Celtc right in front of the away support?

He is guilty as charged on breaching at least two of the rules of football and will get a ban plus the two suspended that were on his record. That hurts him as he likes being on the touchline but it may help us as I think we won the games he was up there last time.

For all I have been ripped about my earlier comments I'll now say there may be some good could come out of his aeroplane. This is as good a chance as it gets to start a campaign and to try and make us the leaders in anti sectarianism as we have pretty much completely got rid of that stain from our club and now have a spark to do something. We even have a tag line. Sectarianism can fly off and no need to guess what the logo would be.

An earlier poster wrote a letter. Could this be made into a model letter and we can all send copies to MSPs, Papers and the SFA.

I was actually trying to think of a parallel situation outside Scotland, and the closest I could come up with was...

Man U playing Chelsea. Pogba goes up to take a corner. Thousands of Chelsea fans start singing a racist song with conspicuous use of the N word. The sky people mute the sound but the singing still comes across loud and clear to the millions of viewers in all five continents around the world, shaming the nations game in front of the world. A few minutes later, Pogba scores, and as a celebration does the 'Plane :greengrin in the direction of the Chelsea fans but a considerable distance away, before celebrating with his teammates.

The outcome is a 4 match ban for Pogba and no mention of the thunderous racist singing that preceded the goal.

Sounds likely.

If I had the wings of Neil Lennon
And I had the arse of Jabba the Hun
I’d fly over the Hun**** tomorrow
And ****** on the bar stewards below below

****** on etc etc !

[CropleyWasGod]

He is guilty as charged on breaching at least two of the rules of football and will get a ban plus the two suspended that were on his record. That hurts him as he likes being on the touchline but it may help us as I think we won the games he was up there last time.

For all I have been ripped about my earlier comments I'll now say there may be some good could come out of his aeroplane. This is as good a chance as it gets to start a campaign and to try and make us the leaders in anti sectarianism as we have pretty much completely got rid of that stain from our club and now have a spark to do something. We even have a tag line. Sectarianism can fly off and no need to guess what the logo would be.

An earlier poster wrote a letter. Could this be made into a model letter and we can all send copies to MSPs, Papers and the SFA.A model aeroplane letter you mean?

I've just emailed the sfa about the sectarian abuse suffered by Neil on Sunday and what they are gonna do about it and also asked in all seriousness if they are gonna fine him for his celebration.

I'm scunnered.

Dear Doh Rae Me

Thank you for your email.

Unfortunately we will not be able to answer until we have a preliminary meeting over lunch to discuss receipt of your email. We will follow this with a committee meeting over lunch to discuss whether to reply by email or letter. We will then be unable to action any reply until August as July is a very busy month for us with social engagements. We will then consult with Rangers Football Club, representatives of whom are also busy in July, and ask how they instruct us to reply. Finally a final lunch will be undertaken to decide if we are all agreed on doing nothing.

Feel the Dambusters theme should be sung first game of the season :wink:

[Sir David Gray]

I can't understand why this would be such a big issue.

I thought the reason they got so upset at the cup final was because our fans had crossed over the half way line. Lennon stayed entirely within his own half when he was flying like a plane so surely this is ok? :confused:

[wookie70]

I was actually trying to think of a parallel situation outside Scotland, and the closest I could come up with was...

Man U playing Chelsea. Pogba goes up to take a corner. Thousands of Chelsea fans start singing a racist song with conspicuous use of the N word. The sky people mute the sound but the singing still comes across loud and clear to the millions of viewers in all five continents around the world, shaming the nations game in front of the world. A few minutes later, Pogba scores, and as a celebration does the 'Plane :greengrin in the direction of the Chelsea fans but a considerable distance away, before celebrating with his teammates.

The outcome is a 4 match ban for Pogba and no mention of the thunderous racist singing that preceded the goal.

Sounds likely.

Pogba would be rightfully on the pitch and allowed a celebration if he stays on it and isn't provocative. Not really a parallel in this case. Was Pogba also on a two match suspended ban at the time. If this happened Pogba would at worse get a booking.

The one parallel is that in both cases the authorities should look at the behaviour of those in the stands. At the very least a strong condemnation and acceptance that it was a factor in how Lennon/Pogba celebrated. As clubs don't accept liability for the fans and the Police aren't interested that is really all the SFA can do unfortunately.

Lennon clearly broke two laws of the game. He knows that and will take his punishment on the chin if his words were anything to go by on Sunday. It doesn't stop us and the club highlighting the sectarian abuse he faced and this is a good opportunity to state our case on why the Thes are the worst fans in the land. If we sell enough tickets we could also stick the not welcome signs up.

You're probably spot on. I'll post any reply, e-mail address I used was info@scottishfa.co.uk .

Hibs should cut Rangers allocation by half again and release a statement saying if the authorities don't start dealing with bigotry aimed at our manager we will continue to half it until it is reduced to zero. Ask Hibs fans to step up an fill the empty seats and cover the financial shortfall and any space left over give the tickets to community groups; preferably those working to eradicate sectarianism and racism in our communities.

:agree: I've been saying this for years. It's about time we stopped this crap with club and fans doing their bit because as we are all aware the GFA are not going to do a thing to eradicate sectarian from our game.

Better still ban the Huns from Easter Road completely until their club can sort their own supporters out.

Difference with the Pogba hypothetical example is that the English media and Westminster would be all over it the following day and id suggest his club would be embarrassed into addressing the problem.

In the real life Rangers example I think the strict liability argument is a convenient get out of jail card for our media and politicians who don't want to lose viewers / listeners or votes. If our media and politicians had come out on Monday and publicly lambasted the huns songbook, The Thes would find it very hard not to address the problem, strict liability or not.

Of course that's never going to happen and so i think your idea to stick up the not welcome signs are the way forward.

Where can I sign up for this motion?

I would gladly see no Rangers or Celtic fans inside Easter Road.

[Keith_M]

I think it's about time the home fans stepped up to the plate and covered the stadium in banners highlighting the sectarian singing going on in the away end.

If practically the whole stadium was covered in said banners, it would be hard for the newspapers and TV to avoid showing it.


I'm actually dissapointed that our club has never once made an issue out of it, or indeed the other clubs.

Yep, my analogy wasn't intended to be a perfect parallel with the Lennon situation, but to show up the absurdity that we seem to be content to tolerate rampant prejudice up here, as a society.

No way Klopp's a punk. He's got the whitest gnashers known to man for a start. Punks aren't bothered about good dental work. Industrial techno perhaps.

I totally agree with the middle part of this. The SFA and the clubs including Hibs if necessary are needing called out on this hiding behind the argument that nothing can be done because strict liability is not in place. It’s 2018 FFS and they’re still spouting religious hatred. It’s bigotry and anywhere else they would be locked up.

[Doh Rae Me]

I attended Easter Rd on Sunday and had a ticket in the south stand. I had to endure the rangers fans vile sectarian abuse of Neil Lennon on numerous occasions. I'm not talking about 1 or 2 individuals I'm talking about 1500 of them blasting out fenian *******, now unless you had the volume on mute, why is this not being talked about?
Seriously, why is Neil Lennon being put under investigation for his celebration?I'm sure everyone is aware of Scotland's shame but why does the SFA do nothing about it?

4 match ban!! They sure like to punish Neil Lennon, don't they?

Seems hugely excessive to me. It was in the 93rd minute.

He already had a suspended two match ban hanging over him so in reality just an added two

You really want people locked up for this? What kinda sentence we talking about?

How many? A handful as an example or go the whole hog, build a super prison and lock up all 50k of them.

Better still, close down Rangers and turn a full Ibrox into a prison overnight. 2 birds and all that :cb

If they were making similar hateful comments on a regular basis towards homosexuals or black people, these people would be facing a jail sentence.

[Mr White]

Given the jail sentence handed down a few years back to the brother of "Limmy" (the least funny comedian ever to be employed by BBC Scotland, despite some strong competition) for online sectarian abuse of the journalist Angela Haggerty, there is a precedent there for being jailed for singling out an individual in that manner.

[WhileTheChief..]

That’s kinda my point though.

In a crowd of over 40,000 people pretty much all singing the same thing, how can any one individual be singled out for prosecution?

That’s impossible. Would be like justice by chance which isn’t really justice!

[Scott Allan Key]

Nearest one to each policeman gets lifted? Usually that's the approach the police adopt when dealing with crowd disorder. Not necessarily fair on the individuals in question but it acts as a better deterrent than standing back and letting them all get on with it.

Plus there was only 1500 of them in ER on Sunday. Significantly less than the number of Hibbys on the pitch at Hampden 2 years ago. If there's a will there's a way :whistle:

It's justice in the sense that the ones who are arrested and presumably convicted are made to pay for their actions and for those fortunate enough to have got away with it the first time, it may make them think twice about indulging in that behaviour in the future if they see their pal getting lifted and given a banning order/heavy fine.

This problem could be sorted in weeks, the trouble is those with the power to do so simply do not wish to do so. For some reason our politicians and press do not want to confront this poisonous bigoted bile.

It took me a good few years of being relatively ‘into’ them to realise that their lead singer had sat next to me at work for a summer whilst he was doing a summer job during his school or uni holidays. His mum and dad are ex-colleagues of mine (his mum was my line manager briefly) and I didn’t realise WWPJ were the band they/he talked about him being in.

Ridiculous that he’s been pulled up for this. The SFA are corrupt to the core.

The obvious way forward is to punish the football club. Start with a warning to the fans that if they continue the club will be docked points/have to play behind closed doors.

Fair point. but to just ignore it while punishing the target of their abuse because he reacted cant be right!

[Chic Murray]

Would a jail sentence be any more or less appropriate in those circumstances? Seems a bit excessive to me.

Exactly why they close football grounds - until the nutters show they can behave themselves. Would stop the problem dead in it's tracks within a matter of weeks. But we all know there's no appetite to resolve the problem as Celtic and Sevco rely hugely on this hatred it to put food on the table. And Sky/BT and media love the "special" atmosphere.

[Phil MaGlass]

I would start this marching season. Refuse all licences for orange marches. Flood all areas where they may congregate, any marches go ahead, arrest them all. 1000 quid fine. Next time 1 week prison. Then escalate. As for sectarian singing/abuse at matches, all they need to do is start docking points, stop licence for european football and relegate them.

[WhileTheChief..]

Well then you gotta ban the marches supporting Independance, support for Palestine, anti war etc etc

Really want to go down that road?

If the sectarian singing was being done by a women’s netball team no one would give a damn.

Other than at the football do any of you actually care about it or is it just a stick to beat the Old Firm with?

We’re a bit away from seeing such measures being administered, but a good start at least would be if BBC Scotland’s flagship Hogmanay “comedy” show Only an Excuse? didn’t use the subject of sectarianism for a lot of the so called jokes. The vast majority of the country wants to see sectarianism eradicated, so you would expect any serious drive to do so to be welcomed. It’s pretty obvious though that there is no serious drive to do so, and in 2018 that’s pretty depressing.

[Just Alf]

Not read it on here as on phone so not going over while thread, so apologies if it's already been said, but a couple of my mates were up town after the game and "the boss" did the "plane" again in the pub (he'd been having a bit of banter with normal humanbeing type rangers fans... Seems there's actually some in existence) :-)

So if you care a lot about this issue, what you going to do about it?

More to the point does Neil care ? Most of it was directed at him. We should start a Justice for Neil on-line petition and present it to the SFA.
