This thread needs to get back on topic. 

Scott Brown is, always has been, and will continue to be, a buffoon. 
 

Aye totally, imagine being sold a dummy by Messi.  He's shite eh. McArthur would have him in his back pocket.

Not really, that happened because at least he was able to to try to intercept it and he got a piece of Messi, Scholes got taken completely out of the game left standing on the spot done. Brown's looks clumsier is all.

Browns supposed to be a defensive midfielder. Whereas Scholes is renowned as one of the worlds worst tacklers.

Clumsier = worse

Lionel Messi is one of the greatest players - if not the greatest player - ever to play the game.  He has left many, many better players than Scott Brown on their arses and/or eating his dust over the years.
Has Brown achieved as much from his career as he could have done?  No, probably not.  But it's not all down to ambition, someone said upthread there were difficult family circumstances that had a bearing on his decision, and if that's the case then fair play to him.  It's a job.  Nobody would think the worse of someone in any other line of work staying near their family in similar circumstances even if better career progression was on offer elsewhere.  It's a job, some things are more important than that.  He's obviously settled at a club that suits him, he's made bags of money and has a heap of medals to tell his grandkids about.  Hard to blame him too much for that.

I'm all for players heading elsewhere where they can learn more and develop into better players - we've seen with Tierney over the last year how good it can be for them.  But at the end of the day these are guys with a job, and like everyone in every job the choice to move or stay put has a lot of factors to consider.

Totally agree, though in most cases would implore all players to play at the highest level they are capable of for as long as they can. Its how you become the best player you can be, and what players from other countries do.

Brown lost his sister to I think skin cancer when she was 21. So apparently he wanted to remain close to his parents. Fair enough.

A friend of mine's daughter plays for Celtic ladies team. Two years ago he told me they had a Scottish cup game away from home in Dingwall or Wick or wherever. Anyway they are leaving Parkhead or Lennoxtown can't remember at like 7 on a Sunday morning.

And he says to me, 'and you'll never guess who was there to wish them luck at 7 on a Sunday morning, Scott Brown'.  As club captain he thought it was his responsibility.  So fair play to the guy, he's obviously a decent lad.
