Rubbish. Lets not get all high and mighty about everything said and done. I and Im sure most of the others who heard the comments understand what he's saying. Im sure the players will as well. If not they will probably ask him about it, it'll be explained and all forgotten about. Except by folk like yourself who want to make a big deal out of it

Lets put it this way....

Using the term rejects shows what the players previous clubs may have thought of said player... not how Lennon or Hibs views them.... they are no longer rejects now they are at Hibs.

Ofir Marciano was not the first choice at his previous club so they let him go.
Adam Bogdan was nowhere near the starting eleven.
Darren McGregor's contract was allowed to run down.
Stevie Mallan barely got a look in at Barnsley.
Daryl Horgan wasn't a starter at Preston.
Florian Kamberi didn't get his chance at Grasshoppers.
Jamie MacLaren didn't see much game time at Darmstadt.
Efe Ambrose was and still is viewed as a bombscare by Celtic....

Need i go on.

Lennon has turned players whose previous clubs rejected their talent into first team players who have improved our club.

It seems a couple are outraged by it. He is right though, the players will know exactly what he means too. Kamberi is a cast off. Boyle is another who is a prime example. Hibs have been great for these players and in turn, as Lennon points out, they have done brilliantly for us.

I thought he was very measured in his interview. Angry at the ref but stayed relatively calm. The rejects comment as has been said here was merely pointing out the difference in class/cost of his squad to Celtic. He's praised his team in the vast majority of interviews this season and he did it again yesterday.

I was outraged with the shop assistant's 'shock revelations' yesterday that the rolls were finished, then there was 'shock news' as I had tea instead of coffee mid-morning, followed by being 'rapped' by the neighbour for the state of our hedge and 'slammed' by the kids for yesterday's dinner. I think I'm probably set to be 'axed' by the wife for not getting chocolate hob-nobs in again. Just as well I'm not a 'love-rat' with a 'love nest' too.

So our manager is getting flak because he was being realistic. Most of our players are rejects ( from other clubs) but that doesn't mean they don't have ability. It is the coach's job to improve and guide them to achieve more and I believe this is what Neil Lennon excels at.

Lennon is a Bolton reject.
He probably should have mentioned that for balance.

Very good! :thumbsup:

Reject perhaps wasn’t the best choice of wording but it was simply to play down talks of titled challenges coupled with a loss that Neil would be hurting from. It’s not that big a deal at all, most players are rejects from other clubs but the point was they dwarf us in terms finance and the standard of player they can attract. Oh and hello hibs.net :)

Just what I said last night. Oh, and hello Hibs net from me too :aok:

Compared to his antics at Tynecastle which i slated him for this is a complete non issue. Didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. He was talking about the gulf in resources was he not? He certainly has his moments but i didn't see this as one.

Sorry, but that's how it came over. Why else would he describe the players the way he did?


BTW, I'm not a Lennon hater, as I think he's doing a very good job at ER, but I do wonder sometimes if he thinks before opening his mouth.

Interesting. I’ve never wondered that about Neil but constantly think it’s true of a number of .net posters.

I heard his interview and have to agree with the OP. It can't have done the players' confidence much good to hear how he decided to describe them.


The feeling I got from the interview was that he was embarassed to be in charge of a team that were outclassed at his former club and would have said anything to minimize any blame that could be put on him.


Not very classy
Does anybody involved have a beard?

Bit late to this thread, but I hate being left out so can I join in the outrage?

And could someone explain to me what I want to be outraged about?

Who rejected hanlon & Stevenson ?

FWIW, I dont see any problem with Lennon's comments

If that stat is right, meant that Celtic didn’t commit a foul in the whole of the 2nd half
Yip! Very hard to believe. Confirmed on Livescores.
I remember Stevie Mallin taking two free kicks outside the box early doors after that not a foul awarded in HIBS favour the rest of the game
Cannae be right?
Just shows how biased the ref was
Lenny every right to be enraged! Sorry OUTRAGED!
Stat also confirmed by FlashScores

Poor terminology from an intelligent man, I know what Lennon meant and I understand his over the top way of getting his point across but I don't think it does anyone any favours if you're referring to them as rejects, huge fan of Neil Lennon and what he's brought to the club but like him I call a spade a spade and it was out of order, I'm sure he didn't mean it and doesn't think it but it's out there now.

There’s no need to continually have a go at me on every thread. I hadn’t even posted on this one.

I’m outraged tbh.

"I'm sick of hearing this 'title contention' stuff, they've got a budget of £60 million, and a £9 million striker.

"I've got free transfers and rejects from other clubs who are playing brilliantly, for me.

In that context I get what he's saying, he's right in all honesty, I doubt the players will care about those comments. Harsh by Lennon perhaps but he's not wrong imo

Pogba was a Man U reject.
Mata was a Chelsea reject.
Everybody is a reject of some kind!!!

I don't know about everybody else, but I generally don't find the need to open my mouth before I type...

You could argue Efe is a Celtic reject and I wouldn't mind 11 Efes

Had a few efes in bodrum 😉

so im guessing thats a no you havent read it or heard it, and of course it matters, most of our players weren't wanted by their previous club, they are wanted here and are doing well as he said

I did hear it. He could have made the same point and just left it with I have a Squad full of free transfers rather than label them rejects.
