As it stands broony has made more passes and has the best pass completion stats then any other British player in the CL you couldny have said that last year what a turnaround.

Agree1 Disagree2

That is because he was injured lol.

Anyway, I actually pointed this out the season before last season, when people were saying how crap Brown was at passing but most don't want to accept facts I noticed.

02 Nov 2016 10:49:08
Aye rab to be fair he was struggling with injury but there's always been a player there.

02 Nov 2016 10:49:25
They didn't Rab. Somebody even tried to belittle him comparing his passing to a CBs lol. Season before last RD came out with the stats on his forward passing but it didn't sink in with some. I'm glad the dozens on here calling for Brown to be sold weren't listened to. He's fit, and at the age now where he's experienced enough to be a real general, and this is one of his best seasons so far. He's played plenty of delightful balls through this season. But passing is just a small aspect of his game. Celtic Legend.

An important note as well mally, I read the other day of the 30 something players who have tried more passes, only 4 have a better success rate.

Seen that Jim, personally av always liked him even through the bad times but this is the best av seen him it's like having a new player, some credit got to go to the manager who seems to have put an arm round him and he's responded.

Jim Tim, I have to hold my hands up. For ages I supported Brown and recognised how important he was to the team. I backed him up on here when lots of people were having a dig.

All that being said, after we got beat by Rangers in the cup I was outraged by his lack of effort (now know he was injured) and he was not the only guilty party. It was at this point I wanted him gone because lack of effort is a big no no for me and I thought many of our players let the fans down that day. However, I am delighted that he has recaptured his form as he has proven himself to be a great captain since Lennon took the reigns and apart from last season, he has set a high standard.

Hail Hail Rab.

02 Nov 2016 17:54:04
I've always been a fan, but last year I felt his time was up.

That's why m not a manager!

Great to see this level of performance from our club captain.

Glad to be wrong.

Another thing about Brown I love is he's a Celtic man through and through irrespective of Republican Joey the Budgie Barton posting photos of him in Rangers top as a young boy. As Mr Stein said 'Celtic weren't my first love-But they'll be my last'. Jock was our greatest manager and Scott has earned the right to be considered a great captain 🍀.

Have to agree lads, always liked n rated broony and I think he has added more to his game, in terms of temperament n driving us on, when he doesn't play he is a big miss n i like the dig n passion he shows 4 the cause, n he is an underrated player n better than a lot give credit. The stats show it but unlike some he does his talking n the park where it matters.
He was great under Rd when it, those who know Celtic will realise during rd's tenure that broony played well n drove the team on (it wasn't all doom n gloom like some will try n make out) and I think brendan coming in has had a big impact on him but also others, correct me if I'm wrong Ed but I had it in my head u or possibly Norwegian red posted that brendan was similar coach to Rd but a few years more developed n that the emphasis was on attacking football, high pressing, that style.
Have to say great performance last night n despite the fact we deserved to win, was still so happy n proud St the end of the game, felt sorry for wee McGregor but these things happen. As for Roberts, I've said it on here repeatedly we are more of a threat with him n the team n the ball to McGregor was sublime.
A lot to be positive about as Celtic fans n the team, as most have said, if given the right backing n type of player we r 2 or 3 away from a quality team to start looking for any in Europe, not saying we will win anything but the results show we aren't too far away despite not spending too much but bringing the right quality of player in. Ed007 was spot on about wages if u need to extend it or pay a bit more for that e tea quality then it's worth it, add our youth n i thought Henderson did well when he came on, their player should have saw red for the boot this head, McGregor did alright too when he came on n thought Emilio was great too, dembele n sinclairs quality has just lifted everybody n it is great compeyition, a goalkeeper of that quality as well as a central mid in beside brown n that's a strong team.
Hail hail.

{Ed007's Note - I don't think even I would compare Ronny to Rodgers - Rodgers has given me some of my biggest laughs from football in recent years at Liverpool.}

Sometimes people who don't understand laugh the most .
I cannot believe how any supporter can laugh when things are not right at their club.

{Ed007's Note - And sometimes people are just too thick to understand what they've read and they then make themselves look even more foolish by commenting on it - it can become a habit and obviously already has for some.}

03 Nov 2016 14:36:11
Yes, I have been surprised by some, but then EPL supporters are very special.

{Ed007's Note - They must be but I've never met someone who supports a league, most people choose a team to support.}

03 Nov 2016 17:53:34
Haha like it Ed, just glad that brendan is doing well for us and it's early days but maybe he has learned from mistakes at liverpool. either way whoever the manager or players I'll back and it's always great to be a Tim.
Hail hail.

Supporting a member of the league that has been corrupted by money is given a level of support to that league . Of course there are life long supporters of their local club who can be excused from folowing the money .
People like that usually support club through good times and bad.

{Ed007's Note - Why don't you follow your local club? Are you and SPFL supporter then?}

04 Nov 2016 13:59:23
There is no local professional league where I live . I support a team from the nearest professional league from my home . In my teens and early twenties I lived in Glasgow .
Maybe I can have your permission to support Celtic?

{Ed007's Note - Isn't it the rest of us who should be asking for your permission? It's you that sees themselves as some kind of super-fan who can preach to everybody else about how to support the Club.
You need my permission to post on here though, remember that.}
