You are obviously Rod Petrie and so I claim my £5. :rolleyes:Quote:

He certainly appears to have the confidence to go to the very top. The way he took the pis$ out of Miranda in the last ten mins! :eek:
I see Alan O Brien was on the bench for Hibs and got a few mins towards the end. Any idea why he pulled out of the Ireland squad?
Picked up an ankle injury after coming onQuote:

As I'm sure you well know Celtic turned down a £9m cash offer for Brown from an EPL club, believed to be Everton, on transfer deadline day last week. He could well therefore have been a Premier League player by now but the club turned the offer down without hesitation. Any other offers in the next couple of years will no doubt be treated in the same way.Quote:

Brown is on a five-year deal so it might be a couple of years longer than you think before he is tempted to look elsewhere. He'll learn his trade at Celtic and the potential the club bought at the start of the summer will be turned into class and craft by the superior coaching, facilities and football available to him at his new club. When he goes (finally) it won't be for a penny less than £15m NPV.
Anyway, thanks very much for Brown. See you next summer for Stevenson and Benjelloun... ;)
:ball: PP
Stevenson looks like he'll be a top player
Benji definitely has potential, but is a very frustrating player to watch, can be a greedy fooker with the ball. I'd rate Fletcher ahead of him
I don't really follow the SPL so I'm not surprised I've never heard of him. Could anyone tell me a bit more about him?Quote:

ahem. ;) Stevenson looks a fantastic prospect.Quote:

He mainly played the holding role against Spartak.Quote:

In terms of fitness and energy he's up there with Keane too. Nothing fazes him. There have been times in games where he has been quiet, you'd never forget Keane was on the pitch and that's really the only thing that really seperates the two. I watched a Man City v Man Utd match from '93 on ESPN Classic last night and most of the play went through Keane, even then.
brown doesnt exhort the other players to perform better or indeed cane them in the way that roy did , perhaps he will once he fully finds his feet, couldnt ask for more from him at the moment though.Quote:

Whats the point in showing that quote :confused: I said there wasn't a hope of him getting Murphys place at left back, I still think that. Doesn't mean he won't be a top playerQuote:

Murphy is a class defender, and currently he is a much better option than Lewis Stevenson, Stevenson will eventually take Murphys place, but bringing up a quote from me from last season when Stevenson had just come into the senior team from the youth team is a bit pointless.
Here's some more for you DDD. This is a thread from the best Celtic fans' forum on the net. (Our very own eirebhoy appears to be a season ticket holder there. :) )Quote:

It just seemed to me then that you didn't believe Stevenson would be that great a player. Either that or you didn't believe Hibs could produce a player as good as Murphy. Anyway, I like the look of Stevenson so lets leave it at that. :)
What, not even Lee "Weasel" Naylor? ;)Quote:

Slightly off topic but that forum is ajoke, and not a patch on .
www.celticminded.com or www.thehuddleboard.com imho
The HB is just like an off topic forum where you can discuss what you like where you like. Not my cup of tea. Although I do have over 4,000 posts on there, don't ask me how. It's just so easy to run up posts on that forum.
CM is simply rubbish. You post a thread and it's on the 2nd page within minutes. Someone disagrees with you and you're called a hun. It's terrible place.
It can be a bit childish at times, but still better thatn KDS. Anyway we'll agree to disagree.;)Quote:

Thanks for the run down on Scott Brown EB.Suprised he has only a few caps for Scotland.I know he is young but I thought they would be crying out for a player of his calibre.I remember reading a quote from somebody at Rangers(think it was David Murray) that they could not afford his wages which I thought was a strange thing to admit.Is Rangers budget really that much lower than Celtics or was it some kind of attempt to put pressure on the lad?
You're taking the p.iss, yes? Either that or you're under eighteen (which I must point out is no crime in itself :) ). Both the sites you mention are full of neds and armchair hardmen. No thanks.Quote:

Has Stevenson not played in midfield this season or am I totally off the mark? I know that JC thinks the world of him.Quote:

What a muppet :D
Can't slate him too much. He's proved himself to be absolutely top class so I doubt anyone's going to be calling for him to be dropped after one poor game. Everybody has them.

He was caught on camera on more than one occasion giving Hibs fans the wa*ker gesture too. He seems to be easy to wind upQuote:

It's a strange one. If it was a Hibs player you'd be loving him mate, no doubt about it.
