    Were the goalkeepers fit for purpose
    Was Shane Duffy
    Was griff
    Was Jj
    Was Diego
    Was Ajeti
    Was Eddie
    Was Rogichasmagictoes
    Was Christie
    Was Klimala

    Who out of the above is less to blame?

    I think the lack of character in the squad is the main reason Brown has played such a big part this season. What I mean is you look back to the O'Neill team, the amount of big men who had big characters (obviously along with the talent) meant that Lambert was able to phase out in a way that suited him and the team.

    Compare that with now, apart from Brown who has got that competitive, take no * attitude? As lacking as Brown is now, that side of him is a major asset to a team. It's just that it's no longer effective because of the weak * * he had round about him.

    Imo there's no point putting out a talented team with zero fight in them, especially in Scotland. And as much as Soro has potential, he ain't ready to replace that type of character on the pitch, not when there is literally no * else capable of taking the reigns.

    I've been a critic of Brown as much as the next person, but I'll tell you what, if half the players on that pitch today had his desire and effort, we'd be in a better place. To watch Celtic players in a game against that mob pull out of tackles and jog about the park as though playing a pre season friendly, is just unacceptable.

    True.
    Probably said what I wanted to, but more eloquently

    Brown plays in a position that affects all three areas of the pitch simultaneously, defence, midfield & attack, ergo, the whole dynamic of the team.

    Due to his legs leaving him, it meant he was unable to provide adequate protection for the defence, meaning the opposition were able to create far more chances for themselves, with players like CalMac also feeling the pressure to cover for Brown, Browns MF presence then affects the MF negatively as a whole, added to that, he's so slow to get the ball moving forward, which more often results in sideways or backward passes, which again affects our chance creation stats per game.

    Add all that up, conceding more shots at goal and creating less chances up front, mainly down to the presence of one player in the middle messing everything up, then without doubt Brown is the biggest on field reason as to why the entire season has been the shambles it has, obviously he's not been the only reason, but he's had by far the biggest negative influence on the entire team from defence to attack

    It's easy to get distracted and get bogged down in all sorts of other * mate, we all do it.

    Depressing to see an absolute hero be ripped apart and the * taken out of him by wee hun wanks.

    I can't watch anymore man, * breaks my heart. I'm glad Brown is leaving this summer because we would just keep playing the * guy until his legs fell off.

    I just gave you a detailed explanation as to why he was the biggest negative influence on the team as a whole all season and all you can answer back with is saying it's bollocks? Sums your argument up, of which you have none.

    Juco James already confirmed Brown had the biggest negative influence on the team anyway and he has the data to back that up

    Also no food was sold this season so there weren't any cold pies to be concerned about

    Said before it’s a season too far, he should be retiring because he’s done.

    Juco James is a Celtic fan on Twitter and also a data analyst

    His data confirmed that with Brown in the team this season we concede more chances and create less chances versus without Brown in the team we concede less chances and create more chances, that's how much of a negative impact he was having on the team as a whole

    Should never have been offered a new deal when he was thinking about going to Australia.

    He knew himself he was done then or he wouldn’t have been in talks to go there.


    But nah. 2 year deal and we’ve tried to offer him another year :56:

    It says so much about the ambitions of our club that he was actually offered a new deal.

    Would’ve played every minute next year as well no doubt, despite being bitched by almost everycunt he comes up against on the regular.

    So regardless of the manager he would have played every minute next season you're saying? I suggest that speaks more to Browns remarkable staying power than it does about a future manger. Well done, you've just talked Brown up a beauty

    Nah it’s because he’s such a exemplary leader and amazing behind the scenes, whatever that actually entails, means he’s guaranteed a start for some bizarre reason.

    Unfortunately, the game is played on the pitch and he’s been utter * at it for a considerable time.

    If getting dominated by the majority of SPL central midfielders is the result of his ‘remarkable staying power’, then I suggest we’re better off without said trait.
