Read that and thought ‘when did cammy bell sign for Hibs’ - genuinely have no recollection of him at Hibs.

[Allez Hibs]

Lennon isn't the brightest. Lewy's fault for both goals that night. Had the chance to clear it before Lafferty scored and then didn't pick up Naismith who scored a header! Woeful stuff from Lewy that night.

He came on for Hibs in a 1-1 draw away to St Johnstone when Rocky got sent off.

The man who chose to change a winning team, drop Jamie McLaren and change the tactics might have to shoulder some blame there too. I hope Lennon gave him both barrels.

While going 'tonto' at the players doesn't always work, I think we could do with a bit of that passion now to make sure we finish third.

I'm not saying it's not happening behind the scenes, but there's been little passion on display on the touchline or the pitch during the last 2 performances. We desperately need to sort that out on Saturday and burst a gut to get a win.

In your opinion. I’d rather any ranting and raving was saved for behind closed doors and kept to a minimum.

Me too. This is just another limp stick to attempt to beat JR with.

Enthusiasm and passion on the touchline doesn’t have to equate to ranting and raving though.

Guardiola, Klopp, Tuchel, Bielsa, Mourinho and Simeone are all very animated on the touchline. The only successful manager I can think of that isn’t is Brendan Rodgers.

If we finish 3rd then who cares, we are in a great position to do so, it’s not that big a deal. I do know what the poster you’re replying to means though. I think when we’re playing poorly it would be good to see a bit emotion and a reaction at times. We’ve got a terrible record when it comes to coming back from a losing position, maybe it is something Ross needs to reflect on, how well is he influencing games that aren’t going our way? Energy and enthusiasm is infectious imo.

Not heard that term for ages!
Is it out of fashion cos those who watched the Lone Ranger are aging? Or maybe we are not allowed to say it these PC days cos it depicts all Native Americans as uncontrollably crazy.

good. The players shat themselves that night. The first goal handed to lafferty was an absolute embarrassment, and the second after we’d fought our way back into it wasn’t much better.

Lennon thought he was being a smart arse and changed a winning team for sod all.

JR has done well this season and he and the players deserve great credit for getting us into prime position to finish 3rd in the league. Not disputing that one bit.

However, JR himself described the 2nd half performance in the Semi v St J as meek. He was right as the players threw in the towel that day after losing a goal which was unacceptable. The home defeats to Ross County, Livingston, Motherwell and last week's performance v St J were also meek.

Sometimes things go against you in games and you lose the first goal. Having the passion and never say die attitude in adversity is something we need to see more of if we want to secure 3rd place.

Aw come on! You'd have to be a total Pocahontas to find that offensive.

Lewy was very poor for both goals.

Yeh I get what you’re saying and mostly agree but the post I replied to was essentially comparing Lennon to JR. In Lennon’s case it mostly was ranting and raving. I know who’s touchline style I prefer.

Did you know that the players didn't receive a team talk that night prior to the match?

They stayed at the Marine in North Berwick on the night before and not once did he brief the team, very poor from him.

I knew Lennon's time with us was up when we lost 1-0 at Fir Park in a midweek game.

He virtually fell asleep leaning on the dug out that night, opposite to his normal behaviour.

[CloudSquall]

Lennon only knows why he changed a winning team that night at Tynie but I'm glad that for once we read about a Hibs manager going radio rental at the team following a derby defeat.

The "It's just another three points" mentality of various managers saw us on the wrong end of one derby humping to another over many a year.

A wee bit of balance to that.
I agree with Lewy being at fault for the 1st goal.
He then won the penalty for the Hibs goal.
For the winning Hearts goal lots of Hearts attackers seemed to steal the march on the Hibs defenders from the set piece. The Hearts runs were well timed and the ball in perfect. However, it wouldn't have happened if the free kick hadn't been given away in that dangerous position. I can't remember how that came about. Can anyone recall it?

Going mental after a derby defeat didn’t do us much good at Tynecastle under Lennon. Levein had his number there and Lennon seemed to want to beat him at his own industrious grinding brand of football, playing into Leveins hands every time.

Heckingbottom and Ross both subsequently won at Tynecastle. I think Lennon was the problem whenever we went there not the players.

Yes, but why is the ball getting past the first man - Lewy!!
