Nice of Stevie G to let the authorities know it's OK to come down hard on him now. Was just going to ask about this. How can you be sent off so often in the same season and get such a small ban? Surely there's some sort of totting up process that should see a player, *** or not, banned for months with that record. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're either a troll, or an insanely stupid person who doesn't understand the rules of football. Probably both. Anyway, the greeting about Brown is way over the top. I see players trying to get reactions in almost every single game. Loads of players celebrate in front of the opposition fans as well. Why is it being made out to be some sort of mad thing confined to this player? Because there always has to be an excuse. Because they are never wrong, always wronged. Because blame/praise/criticism always has to be equal and split right down the middle of the arse. But there are fans of other teams complaining about it as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Alan Stubbs Posted April 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2019 Didn’t realise Scottish football had this high a volume of jammy wearers watching it. Shithousing is a part of the game at all levels. If anything, it’s one of the more entertaining elements of our game. If the behaviour on display yesterday was enough to justify violence, the cities of Barcelona and Madrid would’ve each looked like current day Syria in the Pepe/Ramos days. On Brown, a Ranger player - I think Jack - had a wee clipped heels effort on him early doors and he literally laughed it off. The fact that he has the last laugh 95% of the time is less to do with Brown being some kind of super-villain and more to do his club’s main rivals being a gang of perma-raging losers who pretty much never turn up for a big game. The only morally questionable aspect of all this, is deliberately targeting a literal simpleton to wind him up. I wasn’t complaining when McGregor smashed him 5 mins into our last game v Rangers though. 36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and they should also pay more attention when watching football generally 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet, specifically, and explicitly, those critical of Brown are not saying for a moment that his antics "justify" violence. It's back to that polarity again, that seems to be the only basis on which alarming numbers of posters, can operate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I can only assume all those criticising Scott Brown have never experienced the sheer joy of annoying Andy Halliday. I've done it and, let me tell you, it's absolutely terrific. Can't fault Brown for wanting to experience that feeling over and over again. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 3 hours ago, Monkey Tennis said: Yip, only two positions are apparently available on this. Either: Brown is entirely to blame for escalating problems both on and off the pitch or He can have no responsibility whatever for the mental reactions of others and should continue to behave this way. It's absolutely pathetic. It's clearly about 98% the latter over the former though. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I witnessed Andy Halliday absolutely losing the plot at Danny Mullen when we played Rangers at home earlier in the season. As far as I know Scott Brown was nowhere to he seen. Rangers are bunch of ill disciplined simpletons who cant get away from their own arrogance. They deserve all they get. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverWolfe Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 What a thread. Starts off with no-one watching the game but hoping for fights and drama and then they all watch the fights and drama and come on raging about it. I am absolutely shocked to hear there was trouble last night in Glasgow. A City with one of the highest rates of crime and poverty in Europe, unbelievable.The only thing that clearly isnt shocking is that people on here actually think football players are responsible for the actions of the scumbags in said City with masisve rates of crime and poverty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm what you've done is cherry picked a few comments from different sources, turned it into a combined narrative and ignored everything in between. Arrogance combined with stupidity is always a good look. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
