Thread: Scott Brown out until February

Robson stoats about the pitch like a headless chicken, he cant pass, he can't run and he gives the ball away all the time. All he can do is take set-peices like a Rugby penalty taker.

Brown and N'Guemo are better "battlers" than Robson.

People say Brown doesn't score enough goals but he's the best goalscorer from the middle we've had since Petrov or even Gravesen if he counts lol.

Hartley never scored, Crosas doesn't, Robson doesn't. Donati and Jarosik scored a few but they never became first choice players.

He is a much better passer than Brown.
He is not as mobile as Brown, I'll give you that.
He does not give the ball away as much as Brown.
He can do a lot more than just take set pieces.

There is not a chance that they are better "battlers" than Robbo, absolutely no chance. N'guemo is a good wee battler but Robbo does it in the big games as well E.g. The huns game where Jan scored in the last minute, Robbo hits Dailly early on to set the tone of the match. He then goes on to win that battle for the rest of the match. I don't think Brown would have done that.

What about Brown in the Cup final, he had a great game against R*ngers and dominated there.

Robson is shite I think and he loses the ball much more than anybody in the Celtic team, he's as slow as fuck and can only use his left-foot, it's laughable the amount of times he gets the ball took off him after a bad first touch. Robson can cross a ball or shoot from a set-peice but in open play he can't because he's too slow to make space for himself and when people shut him down he struggles to do anything and loses the ball.

N'Guemo is a lot better, he can pass just as well, is a lot quicker, can win the ball back, can go past a player and get about the pitch.

None of them are brilliant, but N'Guemo, Brown and Crosas are all better than Robson.

Whats Robson done this season? last season? not a thing. I would describe Robson as the Naylor of midfield.

Suppose he did but he ain't consistent enough at doing that.

He certainly is not shite. Brown loses the ball more than him, a lot more. The over reliance on his left foot is a bit annoying I agree.

N'guemo's passing is a lot worse than Robbo's, however I quite like him anyway. He's been pretty poor but I think he could turn into a good player for us. In possession he is atrocious though.

Not a chance that Crosas is better than him, absolutely no way. I would rather have him in the team before Brown as well.

Scott Brown has never bossed any game never mind an Old F**m game. He was decent in the CF but I wouldn’t exactly call his performance, bossing.

Barry Robson bossed both Old F**m games in April 2008. Had Brown not been suspended, we would never have won 3IAR.

Robson won us those last 7 games. He was MOTM in 5 of them. He has probably played far less games than Brown during his Celtic career, yet in the little time he has played, he has had a much greater impact. I reiterate, No Robson = no 3IAR.

We also need to get a bit of perspective on these player of the year awards. Brown was the best of a bad bunch last year. Was there really any outstanding candidate?

I rate Robson as the worst of the lot in the middle i'd rather have any of Zheng, Brown, Crosas or N'Guemo playing than him in any match.

Robson add's nothing to the team. Brown and N'Guemo add pace and movement, Zheng can get forward well and pass the ball and Crosas keeps possession and can make long passes. Robson is average at everything except set-peices.

I know what people mean with Brown and N'Guemo they attempt long passes quite a bit and some don't make it but i'd rather that than someone like Robson who doesn't do anything. N'Guemo or Brown only make bad passes about twice a game but people always remember them and seem to talk as if they can't pass but their not that bad. Robson or Hartley gave the ball away all the time aswell with bad passing but nobody remembers it because they see those players as guys who can take corners and freekicks and must have decent passing ability even though they dont.

Nobody loses the ball more than Robson watch closely the next time he plays, he gets robbed of the ball half a dozen times a game, he passes the ball out the park aswell(like Naylor).

I find it bemusing hearing people say things like "McGeay has no end product", but McGeady over the last few season gives us more end product than anybody. "Brown doesn't score enough", Brown has scored the most goals from centre-midfield for Celtic since Petrov left. These players arent and have never been world-class so why do people single them out or want to sell them for money when they are still the best players in the team. McGinn and Robson are not McGeady and Brown.

Donati has scored more goals than Brown this year despite the slight disadvantage of leaving Parkhead 3 months ago.

R*ngers won us 3 in a row they only won 2 of their last 7 games or thereabouts at the end of that season. It was 1 and a half years ago, we're talking about now aswell.

Robson has played 8 games for us this season and we've won TWO against Hamilton and Falkirk. With Brown in the team we beat Aberdeen, Hibs and Hearts.

R*ngers’ capitulation most certainly contributed to us winning 3IAR. We needed them to drop points and they did.

We still needed to win our last 7 games though.

This included two games against the Huns.

3IAR seemed pretty much improbable given that we had gone 4 games in a row without scoring against the Huns and had just suffered a home defeat to Motherwell.

Brown goes out of the team, we pair up Hartley and Robson in the middle... by some bizarre coincidence we then win all 7 games. Robson is MOTM in 5.

Absolute rubbish. Yes the huns demise played a part in us winning the league however we still had to win 7 games in a row and Robbo played an absolutely vital part in those 7 games. As RK said, he was MOTM in a number of those games.

Without Robbo we would not have won 3IAR. With Brown for those 7 games I doubt we would have won 3IAR. It was an absolute blessing that he got suspended, otherwise Strachan may not have changed things.

Brown is shite how can anyone see this as being a loss
he can't pass he can't shoot & can't tackle.
I have never understood the fuss about him.

Brown is a decent player when he is playing and he is still pretty young (i think?). Still time to improve his overall game and become a better overall player.

Again, just shows who miraculously fortunate Strachan was!

Brown and Donati had not been working for the best part of 6 months, yet he persisted with the two dumplings until he was coerced into change.

tbh, the very fact the league went down to the last day disgusted me. We should have won that championship with ease.

yeah, i'm the RK and ryan on this, Robbo won us the league in 2008. He's alot better than brown imo, also WGS is one jammy manager,

I also think brown was a waste of money, i kills me to say it but R*ngers got the best deal with 2 million for Thompson.

Thats why I said what I just said there.....

With Brown in the team we beat Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen this season. 3 of the better teams. With Robson in the team we didn't beat Motherwell or Dundee Utd the other two better teans but we did beat Falkirk and Hamilton with Robson

Just the same as 3 in a row, Brown played 34 games out the 38 and we won the League doesn't mean it was because 1 player. Just like we never couldnt beat Motherwell and Dundee Utd because Robson and we never beat Hibs, Aberdeen and Hearts because of Brown.

This season Brown played in 8 SPL games, we won 5, drew 2 and lost 1. Robson has played in 4 SPL games we won 1 drew 2 and lost 1. The only European game we won was the game Brown came on and made a great impact. Does this mean Brown is our best player this year since we won more when he was playing? I dont think it does

brown getting suspended won us 3 in a row. hartley and robsons partnership in the middle was far more balanced
