0% Villa: Lennon attacked during Hearts match

[KevinGage]

Ugly scenes.

Could have been a lot worse if the Hearts fan didn't make a complete prat of himself and land on his arse.

Why is it always Lennon?

[Somniloquism]

Well even the saintly and fair Alan Shearer felt the need to kick him in the head. Does anyone know if Lennon is a step child?

Don't really like Lennon and I think he has brought a lot of this on himself, walking off at Ibrox goading the Rangers fans isn't a good idea. But that is bang out of order.

[gaucho1966]

he certainly seem to divide opinions up there... personally i get the impression that he's a bit of a twat.

Regardless of any comments made by Lennon this incident is a disgrace. Ferguson has gone out of his way to antagonise other teams before but I've never seen him attacked at a stadium.

Hopefully Hearts will be able to track the twat. I'd imagine tonight's game would've been 'booking history only' (to keep Celtic fans out of the Hearts end) so they should be able to work out who he is.

The whole Lennon thing solely revolves around sectarianism because I can't remember a single controversial incident involving him, the Shearer thing apart, when he played in England.

How come the person filming that keeps the camera on Lennon and doesn't follow the ball?

At what stage do you think ''Fuck this for a game of soldiers'' and go to live jobless but tax-free in the Isle of Man?

[olaftab]

I forgive Alan Shearer ...now!

[Mac]

I've stopped giving a shite about Celtic since that banner. 

[London Villan]

Is there a story about Lennon that isn't public, because he does seem to attract a lot of issues. No other Celtic manager has gone through this, so why him?

Didn't het get beaten up the other week too?

If he does that though, the twats have won.

Not sure about the past. A lot has to do with Loyalist headcases hating having a Celtic player in the team.

On this particular occasion, he had annoyed Hearts by accusing them of laying down to Rangers at the week-end (although he says it was taken out of context - I don't think it was). This is exactly the sort of thing Fergie has done for years, not worth attacking somebody over.
