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

It get's past the first man because of how the Hibs back line including Lewy is set up to defend the set piece. Then the uber quality ball and timing of the run do the rest.
After the event knowing the ball goes to Naismith you would have Lewy drop his starting position a yard or position himself goalside of Naismith to prevent his run. Those two changes prevent the goal happening in the way it did but would have created other issues which could also result in a goal.
Best thing is not to give away cheap free kicks in difficult to defend positions. Similar happened in SDG's only cameo of the season when he needlessly gave a free kick to Celtic from which they equalised late in the game. No free kick, no goal in both cases. an essential part of game management.

Ex-Hibs goalkeeper on 'absolutely tonto' Neil Lennon at Tynecastle after costly defeat

https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.c...defeat-3161852

I don’t know how others feel about this but for me this is exactly the type of passion I expect after a derby defeat.

I personally expect us to play a winning team and get a result in the first place.

That's what we pay managers for - getting a result (like Ross and Heckingbottom both did at Tynie) rather than trying to show the world how clever you are, ballsing it up and then taking it out on the players afterwards.

I really don't know why so many on here are looking at that interview and going "aye, that's what I want again" when it doesn't need to be repeated that we lost that game. We should have been second in the league and through trying to be clever we ended up fourth.

Yep important to remember how things went after that game at tynie. Start of the end for Lennon

Two of his "famous" celebrations - going "waaaay" at Hearts fans and the "aeroplane" came from games we didn't win as well.

I don't want managers who are passionate about drawing games. I want a manager who will work as hard as possible to set us up right for each game and although Ross isn't perfect with that, I have more confidence in him to be consistent with a winning team.

Lennon made a total **** of it that night at Tiny. He should have taken a look at himself after his team selection and tactics.

Equally, the game v the Hun. Absolutely ridic we then went on to concede five goals. We should have stifled the game at 3-0 up, instead hit on the break twice whilst looking for more goals.

Nowt against the guy per se, but I really hope he joins Aberdeen.

A lot of people correlating "passion" with "screaming at all and sundry and not taking responsibility for your own mistakes" too.

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.

Lewis won the penalty. It was a poor team performance as well. McGinn never touched it. Lennon changed a winning team for no reason.

Last bit isn’t quite accurate. Even beating Hearts and Rangers, we still wouldn’t have finished second.

We played Aberdeen in the game before the two of those and drew 0-0.

Aye and we didn’t win because we missed a penalty. Nothing clever was attempted in that game.

Who missed that penalty, Boyle or MaClaren?

MacLaren. And he missed another sitter.

For the penalty, Joe Lewis was about standing on the penalty spot when he hit 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.

lennon, IMO, was always slightly distracted against hearts and rangers due to his history with their fans, and at times seemed to be focused on getting one up on the fans rather than the game.

I don’t believe he’d have done the aeroplane if that had been a 5 all draw with Aberdeen, or Motherwell, and certainly not Celtic. It’s embarrassing that he did it at all.

Saw somebody on Twitter, can’t remember who, saying he is expected to get the Sheffield United job.

The person tweeting it appears to be a journalist, not sure if it’s a real journalist or one of those pretend ones though.

On another note, Wilder would be a good choice for Celtic I think.

easy to say now. At the time I and everyone else was roaring the team forward thinking the incredible six goal swing or whatever it was that was required was on.

I doubt it, i was reliably informed on here he will never get a decent sized club ever again.

That game summed up Neil Lennons tenure at Hibs. Loads of potential and high hopes, some great play until blowing it when it really mattered and ultimately ending in disappointment.

Not for me. i left that game buzzing. An incredible afternoons entertainment in the sunshine after a very good season.

there was disappointment after the Tynecastle game a few days earlier certainly.

Exactly, I think everyone there thought Rangers were there for the taking. I for one was wanting us to keep at them! It wasn't to be but a great game and one that I am sure will live long in the memory of every Hibs fan.
