The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[michaelg]

You say he received an object to the face (turns out it was a £1 coin) and went down like a beached whale. Have you ever been hit in the face with a £1 coin? do you know how sore it is or what impact it would have on you...bear in mind everyone is different and it may bounce of your chin with no damage but could hurt someone else less as granite as your fine self.

You weren't hit in the face either "Neil"

You reckon that's conclusive? Maybe more than one coin thrown? Or the coin hit him then dropped down as if hitting him on the chest? NL did nothing or has ever done anything to merit the abuse he has received. So f**k up with all the "he brings it on himself", "he doesn't help himself" bullshit. Thousands of folk involved in football do similar week in week out.

Not sure many have done it in extra time, immediatley after a winning goal was (incorrectly) disallowed by the home team in a fiercely contested derby.  Throwing a coin can never be condoned, but it's fair to say that he pretty much brought this incident entirely upon himself.  He might think before he "acts the maggot" next time.

What did NL do that was enough to provoke a coin throw? He has done nothing more than lots have done before him but they are not castigated in the same way.

What he did was foolish to say the least.  As I said, nothing should result in a coin throw, but at same time, if he didn't do what he did, then the incident would probably not have happened.
As for your second point, plenty of people have celebrated their own team's last minute winner.  Football fans don't mind that, it's part of the game, and it generally doesn't result in what happened to NL the other night.  As I said, what he did was different and he brought the situation entirely upon himself.

The sectarian shit fest that is SFA has done sweet FA to address the vile abuse that Neil Lennon has been subjected to. It has allowed it to be the norm.

No, no and thrice no! The incident would not have happened if the thug who threw the coin did not think it was acceptable to act like that. The blame lies no where but with the perpetrator and those who ignore the constant incidents at Tynecastle.

What exactly did NL do that was any different to a cupped ear, a finger to the lips or a celebratory knee slide along the touchline?

Not going to agree on this.   As for your question, re-read my post above.

Complete cop out re: Lennon. Has suffered sectarian abuse at every away ground in Scotland except CP but it's all his fault!! How do you work that out?

Takens abuse for 85+ mins then he decides to put finger over lips or motions his hand in a calm down type of motion and they throw coins at him.

Call it out for what it is - sectarianism because Lennon, like Mc Clean won't hide away.

Did someone spray paint hang Neil Lennon on a wall last night?

[Targetman]

Tynecastle just reeks of sectarianism, a horrible place that'll be silenced on Sunday when Celtic come to town!!

There is a difference between not hiding away and antagonising people and situations.

Lennon has been getting it for 18 years. He's pantomime villain for hearts and rangers fans who are largely scumbags. It doesn't take a lot for them to get riled up where an Irish Catholic is concerned

Funny how BR and MON don't seem to get the same attention.

Not sure what the point is there. Majority of players and managers who celebrate in similar way to NL don't have coins thrown at them. Mourinho doing his knee slide down the touchline didn't have an object thrown at him. Why not? I've seen both BR and MON celebrate with exuberance so why NL is singled out mystifies. Just because idiots react to NL does not mean he is doing anything wrong.

As I said before, celebrating your own team's goal is different to what NL did the other night.  Cause and effect.  Had he not done what he did the other night , he would not have got hit in the face with a coin.  It's pretty straightforward.
