Worse Tackle in Champions League.

**Dricky** · 07/11/2007, 12:23 PM

It's up there with Keane's, Brown was lucky.

Binya will always have a career should he wish to switch to rugby, he'd be great for raking the ball out with minimum damage

**see's it** · 07/11/2007, 2:31 PM

it was a dreadful tackle but not the worst ive seen that goes to John Wayne Bobbit

Awful tackle by the Benfica player, but this may be the worst ever -

Jaysus, I worry about you.

Seriously though, I don't know anyone in the world that would call Scott Brown "rubbish".

**NeilMcD** · 07/11/2007, 3:23 PM

Yeah he is a good player, but he needs to improve his left foot. Great engine and great passion and good speed and ball control.

**superfrank** · 07/11/2007, 3:25 PM

Pretty horrible tackle. He should get a long ban for it and a hefty fine. How about a new kind of punishment? If Scott Brown is injured, your man should pay his medical fees.

Still not as bad as Keane on Haaland all those years ago.

Eh, I don't think Phil Babb's tackle is appropriate for discussion here. It's probably banned from tottywatch even.

**Torn-Ado** · 07/11/2007, 4:50 PM

Binya was dirty all night and the ref should have yellow carded him earlier on for his constant fouling.

You're either avin a laugh or you're off your bleedin barnet mate! By any chance are you letting your anti-Celtic heart rule your more astute brain on this one? I'd be pretty confident in saying Brown will be a top-class player over the next ten years. Evidence Scotland's victory away to France with Brown in the team versus their defeat to Georgia in his absence as a subtle indicator that he drives a team with his, in my view blatantly apparent, energy, skill and determination.

Don't worry about me eirebhoy, I'm fine honest. I suggest you save some worry for that poor Ireland lad.

Me. I did. Right up there. Last post on first page.

Great engine and great passion .

Runs around way, way too quickly making stupid decisions

good speed and ball control

Now this fellas having a laugh

You're either avin a laugh or you're off your bleedin barnet mate!

Nope. Deadly serious. The lad is as limited as the day is long

By any chance are you letting your anti-Celtic heart

Even if I was anti-Celtic (No more than dozens of other clubs) he's only in the jaysus door for godsake.

Celtic have had oodles of players I admired down through.

I would never let dislike of a club cloud my judgement of a player.

Works both ways though........

I'd be pretty confident in saying Brown will be a top-class player over the next ten years.

And I would bet you all the tea in China he will never make it in any meaningful way beyond the Old Firm

in my view blatantly apparent, energy, skill and determination.

Runs around way, way too quickly making stupid decisions

The epitomie of the quick, brainless footballer.

Anyway while all the Celtic fans are hanging on my every word I'd also like to say that McGeady is a mediocrity, Nakamura will never make it at a higher level and overall it's one of the poorest Celtic sides in years

Funny, isn't that what they say about you on here.

Fair enough if you think he makes stupid decisions, I feel though that he is a pretty intelligent player and that the bit of headlessness he has will be coached out of him over the next couple of years, he's only 22 at the moment. Even now though I think given his attributes that he would be an invaluable member, like he is for Celtic and Scotland, in the majority of teams.

I don't know?? Who's they??

Also, much like Scott Brown I'd imagine, I don't care what people say on foot

Fair enough if you think he makes stupid decisions

Nope, that would be fact.

I feel though that he is a pretty intelligent player

You "feel" he's "pretty" intelligent?? Already we're starting to see a bit of a climbdown from the Brownites

and that the bit of headlessness he has will be coached out of him over the next couple of years

By Gordon fcukin Stratchan?!?!?!

he's only 22 at the moment.

What age is Rooney??
Or Ronaldo??
Or Messi??
Or Fabregas??
Or at least 100 more talented youngsters I could name off the top of my head FFS

Even now though I think given his attributes that he would be an invaluable member, like he is for Celtic and Scotland, in the majority of teams

OK, say for arguments sake replace Celtic with Milan and replace Scotland with Spain........no dice

Seriously, bring as much tea as you can muster to that foot.ie meet-up. I'll bring as much tea as I can muster. We will leave our respective loads of tea with a neutral party and in ten years time hen Scott is still pi$$ing about higher reaches of SPL/Lower reaches of Premiership I can go collect all our teas and be declared winner

I like it! I reckon he definitely has the potential to be a very good Premiership player, we'll c.

**feo123** · 07/11/2007, 10:05 PM

its the exact same as keanes on haaland

By which you mean appalling?

Edit: While I have much sympathy for Scott Brown at this moment in time I tend towards LTID's view. Scott Brown is a handy SPL player and little more than that in my (admitedly rather limited) exposure to him. He could be the new Sean Maloney for sure.

**eirebhoy** · 07/11/2007, 10:12 PM

Lim till i die - You don't have a clue about the guy, I'm sorry. It was the "speed and control" thing that confirmed that. Anyone that has seen a fair bit will know that one of his main strengths is running with the ball from midfield and his good speed and control is pretty obvious.

Runs around way, way too quickly making stupid decisions

For a 22 year old he's a very sensible chap. His energy is unbelievable, he hassles the opposition as much as anyone and is regularly getting booked. He has been sent off once in his career. That says it all. He knows exactly his limits.

Now this fellas having a laugh

This one isn't even up for debate. Brown certainly does have "good speed and ball control".

And I would bet you all the tea in China he will never make it in any meaningful way beyond the Old Firm

What's your limits? Make the criteria and I'll put a serious bet down if you want.

The epitomie of the quick, brainless footballer.

No, no, no. Thomas Gravesen is all energy brainless footballer. Brown is very, very intelligent.

By Gordon fcukin Stratchan?!?!?!

Well I can't really argue this with you because you don't like McGeady either but just look at the changes in McGeady's game to see Strachan's strengths. He's a fantastic coach. Robbie Keane reckons he's the best manager he worked under. He's not a world class manager but in terms of coaching he knows exactly what he's doing.

Or at least 100 more talented youngsters I could name off the top of my head FFS

I could name 1000 players more talented than Gattuso too.

Anyway, get back to me about this bet.

btw - While you're incredibly biased against Celtic this is purely about ability to judge a player. I think Celtic's defenders are absolutely rubbish. I'm not so biased that I can't see that. I don't think I let bias cloud my judgement. The reason I'm bringing up this talk of bias is because of your mention of Naka and McGeady.

**kingdom hoop** · 07/11/2007, 10:41 PM

Lim til I die, I don't see much point continuing when you feel the need to shift the goalposts and compare a 'rubbish' player to the most exceptional young talents in the game, and give Milan and Spain as examples of the majority of the teams this rubbish player wouldn't be an important member of. Sorry but it just seems a bit silly to me.
