Nookie Bear Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Cant agree with this. We were fortunate to get a 0-0 at parkhead after camping out on the 18 yard line and then shat it to attack them at home and lost. Our perfomances against them have been pish for years and I don't expect that to chance in Decemebr with Robbies approach to the big games. I hope I'm wrong. Unfortunately it isn;t games against celtic that will cost us, it is throwing away 4 points at home to Dundee and Killie that are the problem.

gorgie rd eh11 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Exactly. With or without Brown we're still a long way off from being able to even think about competing with Celtic on a consistent basis. Whether that's a mental thing or a physical/ability thing, who knows. It's a resource thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We_are_the_Hearts Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Is that myth still going! Brellier mistimed a tackle as he usually did and stood on his foot causing an injury. He never halved him. If you want to see someone being halved then google Neil Berry on Paul Wright, now that was a tackle, thing of beauty Boyack on O'Neil was also great viewing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmfc_liam06 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 It's a resource thing. An easy excuse. In my lifetime, for the most part, we've just bent over and took whatever Celtic are giving us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackney Hearts Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 This post kinda reminded me of Hibs celebrating 'only' losing 3-0 to them on the basis that 'at least it wasn't 5-1'. Our record against Celtic is appalling. Whether they're sticking 1, 2 or 7 past us - they remain a significant thorn in our side. I certainly wasn't celebrating! It's just a fact that the results this season (irrespective of performance or tactics) have been closer. Our record is still appalling, no argument there. And 'a significant thorn in our side' is something of an understatement. But when we had diminished resources and were losing 7-0 or 4-0 or whatever, the fact that Celtic might be losing a player would have been totally irrelevant - this season, it might - just might - have a bearing on the outcome. That was all I said, no celebrating. And I completely agree that we should take the game to Celtic - maybe we will this time. They DO concede goals.

hmfc1440 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 One of the most overrated players in the Scottish game. Has been since they all went daft about him 6, 7 years ago. Often found out against Euro minnows , not even top rate sides which you'd expect anyway. This is the correct answer to is "Scott Brown a good player". If Europe is the yardstick he ain't even a minnow!! Hugely overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generic Username Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I wonder if this will result in a now fit Scott Allan getting first team starts for Celtic, or if he'll continue to waste away in the background. If he doesn't get a look in tonight with the injuries and suspensions Celtic have, something ain't right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alva-Jambo Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I have a wedge on Ajax 6/4. They are my dutch pal's team and I've been over there. I believe the Celtic have four players out. Ajax have two players out, but they are replaced by two other internationalists. The fact of Brown not playing, is actually more a worry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
world_3 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Can't pass, can't dribble, can't cross, can't shoot, can't header, can't even tackle that well. But because of a combination of who he plays for and useless Scottish refs, he's seen as a good player, just for running around energetically but aimlessly, hacking people down, and snarling in their faces if they object to it. A good example of everything that's gone wrong with Scottish football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJGJ Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Scott Brown is/was a good player. He is not the force he once was and injuries are catching up on him but lets not pretend he was somehow a poor player in the past. I understand the chat but he has proved to be a good player in this league and would have walked into our team over the last 10 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With or without Brown we're still a long way off from being able to even think about competing with Celtic on a consistent basis. Whether that's a mental thing or a physical/ability thing, who knows. Every Scottish team is about 15-20m quid a year away from consistently competing with Celtic. There will always be one-offs but we need to beat them a couple of times in a row to lose the fear of them we seem to play with sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the $#!t he gets away with week in and out its really not difficult for an average midfielder ( which he is) to look slightly better than average.
