    Oh there's plenty of answers:


    He can't pass
    He tackles like an idiot
    He creates nothing
    He can't shoot
    He can't control a football


    All we get is circa para-phrases like 'dig', 'aggression', 'energy'.

    Give me a hooped jersey if that's the criteria, I'll give you plenty of that!

    As for taking a hike, thankfully captain clown will be hiking it into the stand tomorrow. :bbpd:

    with a fully fit squad he wouldn't make my starting line-up, he has his uses but in general he just doesn't bring enough to the table either attacking or defensively to be in ahead of others..

    Criticism his passing is a bit of a myth. He occasionally over hits passes but it's no way as bad as is being made out.

    I agree but there is just something about him that our midfield hasn't got and we have missed over the games he hasn't played and alot of people have noticed that.

    He functioned in a midfield which was built around him. He came to Celtic and he was asked to play a different role. For £4.4 mio not too much to ask imo. Somehow I get the impression no one really knows what he is supposed to do at CP. Expectations from fans range from attacking midfielder through to sweeper.

    I can understand why some people admire him (have stated it recently in another thread, if anybody wants to read it just use the search function). However I prefer modern footballers.

    I agree, it was an over inflated price to begin with, this isn't Browns fault of course but he came with a big reputation and has failed to live up to it.

    Im by no means a fan of his but the fact we are unbeaten with him show he is a valuable player. A good team needs a " hard man" who may not be technically gifted eg, Carragher at Liverpool, Puyol at Barca & id even say Terry at Chelsea. Darren Fletcher is another example. Im not comparing Brown to them but he has a similar job in grafting & winning balls.

    Totally agree,

    I just don't see ANY quality in this guy and never have. He thoroughly deserved his red the other night and for me he should never be anywhere near a Celtic shirt and the fact that he is our captain is an utter embarassment. :38:

    I sometimes wonder if I watch different games to other people.

    He plays the same role as Lennon did for Celtic? Are you serious? Lennon sat in front of a back 3 and never moved outwith a radius of about 20 yards, full stop. Never once tried to dribble past people or try world cup * passes. He won the ball, plugged the gaps and then passed it 5 yards to the proper footballers.

    Brown clatters into people then knocks the ball into touch because his passing, for a centre mid, is absolutely woeful.

    He has been billed as a box to box midfielder and that's what we're told he is. You can dismiss the stats until you are blue in the face but Scott Brown playing tomorrow would make no difference to the outcome because he isn't going to score or create a goal and he isn't going to stop one either - the 2 key components to winning a football match.
