1320Lichtie Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I'm puzzled - is the Celtic/Dundee United/Arbroath poster really as stupid as he seems or just utterly shite at trolling? Of course, if you can't work it out, then you are really the stupid one yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Doesn't matter who plays in midfield as they'll spend much of the game watching the ball being fired over their heads in the general direction of Chris Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamaldo Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 We'll get gubbed whether he's in the team or not. He surely has to be one of the most overrated footballers we've ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinkinFighter Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 The same Darren Fletcher who was arguably in the top 10 in his position worldwide circa 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Broony to score the winner in the last minute and get booed by everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksburnDandy Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Really mixed feelings on this - on one hand, he's a better option than Bannan and Darren Fletcher, who both just aren't good enough for international football. We need better in that position. On the other hand, he turned his back on Scotland, was horrendous last campaign and is another man who has prodigiously failed for Scotland over his career. It is a last, desperate attempt by Gordon Strachan, which is too late. He needed Brown in Slovakia and against Lithuania. Too late now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 A lot folk are being blinded by the "HE TURNED HIS BACK ON HIS COUNTRY!!!!11!!1" pish and the fact as a person he seems a bit of a w**k/plays for one of the OF. In footballing terms that is completely irrelevant, though. I want our best players playing and given Brown's good start to the season and Fletcher/the team's performances this campaign so far, having him back will improve our midfield.

1320Lichtie Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Gordon Strachan never done anything to be fair was 100 percent Browns decision that he didn't actually want to retire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because by the time the England game comes around Celtic will be out of Europe and the league is already wrapped up, so he doesn't really have anything to save himself for now.

Dullard Bluteau Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Brown is no different from others who previously declined to play for their country (Weir being the prime offender) and were welcomed back. What gets me, however, is the assumption that he and Mcarthur will be the midfield and that most of the failures against Lithuania and Slovakia will also be in the picture. Firstly, the previous lot should be discarded as they got us into this mess, and secondly even if they are not (they wont be of course) what if they are out of form ? There are lots of Scottish league players who are in good form and would jump at the chance of a cap, several have been mentioned on this forum, but I predict there will be no new players in the squad and even worse, there will be Englishmen included to face their own country. Thankfully it will be Strachans last game in charge. Good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to start picking players from the likes of Aberdeen and Hearts, who get annually pumped by 3rd rate European teams (and Hamilton and Killie) I'm sure they'll be able to cope at Wembley no problem.

ICTJohnboy Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Announces his retirement from the international scene, then decides he can pick and chose what games he might be available for. What a complete farce - no way Strachan should go along with this. Who'll be next to come out of retirement? Graeme Souness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to pick a squad for the England game. I'll make it even easier for you and just ask what your starting eleven would be for that game. I'd love to hear what superstars you'd call up.

Sounds like Strachan made contact and asked him, which would be pretty much the opposite of what you're saying. Doubt he would've been down at Mar Hall with a ball asking anyone if they needed an extra player like the more unbalanced at 5s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season he looked completely done and struggled to play with Celtic never mind Scotland. He went so badly downhill it looked like a career ending injury was causing it. This season he looks back to his best along with a few other Celtic players. Not saying he's good enough to select again but the one thing worth noting at Celtic is look at the difference employing a proper manager has on things. If the sfa ever get round to doing this then the turnaround might surprise a few people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamaldo Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 It will be hilarious (not really) when Brown plays the full 90 minutes against England and we still get battered 3-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
