billco98 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 'Yesterday's Man' was interviewed by Nicky Campbell this morning about tonight's game at Hampden. Campbell mentioned that Scotland had a guy with dual Scottish/French qualification in the squad. "Oh,aye, Berra. His granny was French or something", says Broon. “No, his father is French and he was born in Edinburgh. He might get a game tonight from the start or come off the bench, Craig. What do you think?” asks Campbell “Nervous giggle. If he’s on the bench he should stay there” retorts Broon. And some folk wonder why Scottish International football sank to the level it did. He was one of the most vociferous critics of Berti Vogts, but at least Berti had the guts to play the untried youngsters and look where we are now.

loveofthegame Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Of course Brown laughed. Berra is a non OF player and is under the age of 30, he wouldnt have stood a chance under Broon. What a ****** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartscat Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I just listened on the BBCiplayer to Craig Brown.He clearly didn't have a clue who Nicky Campbell was talking about. I find that absolutely shocking. He's the Hearts captain for god's sake! Not that we should be surprised I guess, but that was just embarrassing. He seemed to think that Campbell was talking about some 'johnny foreigner' who had gotten into the squad by some tenuous link, and dismissed him as such by saying we should 'leave him on the bench' Unbelievable in so many ways.

Dave 1974 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I believe Nicky Campbell is a Jambo:) He is. Brown is clearly suffering from early signs of dementia. I've suspected this for sometime and it is now a priority that we wheel this little SFA/GFA arse barnacle off to the west coast retirement home for the frail. ******.

Drew Busby ! Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Just as Neil McCann was dubbed "a poor man's Ryan Giggs" by Brown around 10 years ago... I will probably dance a wee jig when Maggie Thatcher kicks the bucket, but if Craig Brown was flattened by some bizarre and unlucky space debris incident tomorrow then I'm sure I could conjure up a few steps just for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossi_1983 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I blame Brown just as much as Vogts for that debacle When Vogts came in, the only players with international experience were 85 year olds like Boyd, so he had to start from scratch, and play 25-30 year olds who has no experience at international level Granted, Vogts tried a lot of crap players (although a lot of that was down to Burns, who admitted he was recommending most of the unknown players as Vogts didn't know them, until Vogts got sacked and then Tommy claimed he had no input whatsoever ) but he also gave very early starts to Fletcher, McFadden and Gordon, which has helped turn them into the keystones of the current Scotland team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billco98 Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 Is that an actualy interview? If so Brown is more of a ***** than I thought. It is almost verbatim. Give or take the odd word it is how I remember that the interview went. I hope if Berra is capped tonight that it is the first of many - I'd love to see the lad get well over fifty and stick right up Pa' Broon's ****.
