O'Neills on suffolk street usually put on hibs games, worth checking with them first - not sure they have premier sports. Murrays as well although not gonna bother with them anymore after the way they punted out shamrock rovers and celtic fans before the england game the other week.

Watched the game in the faroes Thursday last in Doyles, who def have premier sports.

Actually, the above perhaps only applies to the away leg next Thursday, which is being shown by Premier Sports. As far as I can see, the home leg tomorrow is only being shown on HibsTV.

Nice hammering to dish out yesterday.

Hibs are top of the calendar year season too just saying.

Great to see this club back to a standard it should at least be at. Hopefully it just gets better from here

Top of the league blown open with Rangers beating Hearts today.

After the emphatic victory yesterday Lennon and the lads really have to crack on and get positive results in their next two games - Celtic and the local derby which could be a top of the table clash. Who would have thought that at the start of the season!

Lennon as done brilliantly in regards to replacing McGinn etc. Some shrewd acquisitions including our boy Horgan.

Camac Hibs

Big fixtures coming up now but its very encouraging, introduction of Milligan seems to have been critical in tightening up the defense, Efe Ambrose has been immense as well. Look forward to McLaren being fit again but we are spreading the goals around more than last season, Mallan has 9 so far from midfield. good times

Mr.Nice Guy

I watched Hearts vs Hibs which ended 0-0 but was most notable for two off-field incidents.

Neil Lennon had a coin thrown at him after taunting Hearts fans, while earlier in the game the Hearts keeper went down claiming he was struck by a fan. I can't see much contact on the keeper from the replay though.

I'm sure there will be a fair bit of fallout from this.

Who is Brian Mc? There's never an excuse for a fan to throw a coin or anything else at a player or manager

Hearts should face serious repercussions for that. That's twice now Lennon as manager has been injured by the crowd at Tyncastle.

A linesman got hit by a coin a few weeks back by a Rangers fan, while they've had numerous issues with pitch invaders, riots and general behaviour of their supporters.

Celtic too had the recent issue with the pitch invader v PSG last season, as well as regular fines for use of pyro.

The Scottish authorities are going to have to take some real action soon. If Neil Lennon can't do his job at Tyncastle without being assaulted, Hearts should have to play home games behind closed doors.

Yet nothing about the hearts keeper being punched by a Hibs fan. No matter who done it they should face jail time and be banned love how you think Celtic fans have done nothing other than PSG or pyro though :rolleyes:

I'm talking about recent incidents involving the crowd and players/managers, off the top of my head. If you want that to evolve in to a Celtic v Rangers debate then take it to a Celtic or Rangers thread.

I see also two assistant referees hit by objects from the crowd as well as the above mentioned assault on a hearts player by Hibs fans. The authorities need to start forcing clubs to play games begin closed doors.

Im referring to all clubs there btw, before anyone gets their orange sash in a twist

Lennon's fall was absolutely hilarious. If an opposition player had hit the deck like that he'd be reciting about how he wouldn't have done that in his day etc. Scumbag who threw it of course, although Lennon winding the crowd up at the end does himself no favours either.

You would think at this stage that Lennon would have matured enough to know not to interact with the home crowd. Obviously his behaviour doesn't excuse the coin throwing, but for his own sake he should be more composed

You had no need to bring other clubs into it this was all hearts and Hibs

My point was that there's a wider issue with the supporters of clubs in Scottish football, that there seems to be a disproportionate number of incidents involving Scottish clubs relative to say EPL clubs.

I can't recall the last time a manager was attacked at an EPL ground, or hit by a coin.

I don't recall any linesmen being hit recently in the EPL either. There's been 3 in the last four weeks in Scotland.

I don't recall many instances of fans attacking players on the pitch in the EPL of late, nor full scale pitch invasions and counter riots following a cup final.

Clubs need to face serious repercussions for this sort of behaviour. Measures like playing games behind closed doors.

Lennon was called all sorts of vile stuff from the crowd behind him all game, injury time winner from Hearts gets chalked off by the ref and Lennon motions to the crowd to sit back down... next he is hit with a coin and some reckon he brought it on himself. This is the same gound were he was assaulted by a Hearts fan whilst in his technical area. It is clear Hearts cannot control their own fans

Why does Lennon feel the need to do it? Yes, he'd have been delighted to have seen the goal chalked off; any manager would. But I can't think of many who would basically taunt the opposition fans for celebrating that "goal". Just keep your head down and do your job, forget winding up people. As has been said though, that doesn't excuse the pondlife who threw the coin.

Yep. Some on here haven’t a clue. If Lennon was black would the Hearts fans be allowed to rain down all sorts of sectarian/racial abuse on him. He gestures back to them to calm down in a relatively good humored manner and gets a coin thrown at him. Hibs fan that appeared to attack the Hearts goalie should be in big trouble as well. At Tynecastle though this has happened before. Stadium should be shut for a period with games behind closed doors.

Lennon was subjected to the sort of abuse that wouldn’t happen at an English ground these days. He goes down when it got physical because the violence against him at that ground was physical before. Lennon stands up for himself in the absence of the Scottish Football Authorities doing their job. Tynecastle should be shut with Hearts forced to play games behind closed doors for a spell. It wouldn’t be tolerated in England.

Was Lennon struck in the chest with the coin and then he goes down holding his face?

The_Kew_Tour

Is not calling Lennon all sorts of names and giving him finger gestures not enough?

Why does anyone in that situation deserve a coin thrown at him?

Was Lennon trying get a rise? 100%

But he did not throw coins or hurt fans himself.

Hopefully the 2 Hearts and Hibs fans are given long bans

Hard to tell from the footage. It may have grazed his cheek first before hitting his chest. He went down to protect himself he’s been physically attacked at that ground before and very little was done about it. Last night the coin thrown at him from that distance could have taken his eye out. Why are they waiting for something serious to happen at a football ground in Scotland before they take appropriate action. Hearts should be facing a stadium ban this morning.
