Horrible thing to happen, but did he take a bit of a dive?

Whilst throwing a coin is not acceptable....
What the hell did he think would happen?
He's a massive cock though and this was going to happen to him at some point.
The thrower should get a life ban, but Lennon should get a hefty punishment as well.

Thought that as well, and watching on SSN today he was acting like a complete cock towards the Hearts fans.
That said, still not right though and hope they catch and ban the tosser who threw it.

Whoever threw the coin is an absolute moron and deserves the full weight of the law thrown at them, if identified.
Lennon was acting like an absolute idiot himself though, and being hit by the coin, should in no way mitigate against any punishment that comes his way, for goading the crowd the way he did. He was WAY over the top.

Goaded the Hearts fans following a late disallowed goal. Then took a dive. Lennon and the coin-thrower deserve each other. Hopefully both will be charged.

What a total moron. Of course throwing a coin isn't acceptable, indeed the perpetrator, if found, should be given a hefty penalty, but I ask you, is goading the Hearts fans acceptable then? Did he really expect them to sit back and not react?
Shouldn't be too difficult to find him I imagine the Scotchish thrower had the coin on a piece of string.

I'm the other end of the coin. Goading fans is part and parcel of the entertainment of football. Whilst this should probably get some financial punishment, nothing more ludicrous is needed.
Throwing a coin can lead to serious, serious injury though. This is a really serious issue and the idiot who did it should not be allowed in football grounds again (and should probably face imprisonment). I honestly can't, for the life of me, imagine what goes through someone's head when they throw a coin at someone. I'd go as far as to say that if I ever saw a Brighton fan doing it, I'd be reporting that idiot to the police straight away.

It's a fierce local derby. Passions run high. Sectarianism is involved (Hibs are Cafflik, Hearts are not). Lennon's been around the block of all that s**t long enough to know better. Probably too late for him to learn any class as a manager or a person tho eh?

"People will say I was winding the crowd up; I wasn't. I was just giving a bit back for the abuse I was taking for 90 minutes."
Err, isnt that usually considered to be "winding someone up"?
Not right he was hit by the coin...but ffs, he didn't need to go to the floor like that at all. About as convincing a dive as this emoji

I don't doubt what you're saying about Lennon as a person. But in black and white terms, Lennon did something inadvisable whereas the person who threw the coin at another human committed a criminal offence. They're just not on the same level, whatever context you try and give it. And if you think they are, then you're taking football far, far too seriously.

Agreed. Throwing a coin or other potentially damaging object is wrong. End of.
