Scott Brown - Legend

[One Day Soon]

Sticks the ball in the net beautifully with his weaker left foot to equalise for Celtc at Ibrox and then celebrates by standing arms in the air staring Diouf straight in the eyes. No fear, no limits.

Always a joy to watch. How I wish he was still ours.

That was the Scott Brown i loved at easter road. :thumbsup::top marks

[Keith_M]

I'll always remember the 'Hartley is Gay' game at ER, when Broonie blew him a kiss.

That was something special. :greengrin

Kisses at Greyskull too when we won three nil.

I cant stand any player that plays for the Old Firm. He is a whinging wee get.

Why the yellow card though? Ungentlemanly conduct?

[Hibercelona]

Still a shadow of the player he once was. :agree:

[fishybeaver]

Class is one word I wouldnt use with any OF player, fan or club. just playing up to the moron's \ plastic paddies there.

Unlesshe's in the green & white of Hibernian or the blue of scotland then like all of vermin in the OF he can GTF!!!

Exactly, its embaressing that some people on this board are worshiping him. I hate all Old Firm players. Scott Brown is near the top of the pile aswell.

No, what's embarassing is your puerile view of the world.

Do you hate Pat Stanton too, because he left us to play for Celtc?

[Dunbar Hibee]

I don't hate all old firm players, I hate most of them, but players like Whitty and Brown I respect for staying with us to lift the cup instead of doing a Kevin Thomson and ****in off. Class from Broony today btw :aok:

[Sir David Gray]

Exactly, its embaressing that some people on this board are worshiping him. I hate all Old Firm players. Scott Brown is near the top of the pile aswell.

:agree: I also don't think we would be having these kind of comments if Scott Brown was a Rangers player.

I found Brown's behaviour towards Paul Hartley funny because he was a Hibs player doing it against a Hearts player.

Now he plays for someone else, I couldn't care less about him.

[Barney McGrew]

If a Hibs captain had done that, in a cup tie when we were already a man short, knowing fine well he's going to get a booking and there's still 20 minutes to go, I wouldn't have described it as 'class'

Totally and utterly stupid and pointless would be a better description.

[cabbageandribs1875]

would he still be a 'whinging wee git' if he was playing in a hibs jersey ?

is it more embarressing that people still 'worship' an ex hibs player or is it more embarressing that you can say you hate someone for the very same reasons you once loved him?

So, Murray doing it to Skacel after scoring in a derby cup tie at Tynecastle?

Well worth the booking.

[Barney McGrew]

So, Murray doing it to Skacel after scoring in a derby cup tie at Tynecastle?

If we were a man short and still had 20 mins to get through? Not worth it in my opinion, he'd be wary in every challenge from then on not to get a second yellow.

Probably would have been better with both feet together, head bowed shaking hands with the player who passed him the ball, straightening his cap and getting on with it. :wink:

Surely you are not saying this thread only exists because he plays for Celtc :wink:

Let me clarify since I started the thread. My views on the Ugly Sisters are well documented on other threads. I have no truck with either of them and in fact as the apologist Jack Regan could testify I probably take a harder line on their adherents since at least Rangers don't pretend to be something they are not whereas the plastic paddies most certainly do.

So I don't care whether Scott is playing for Celtc, Rangers or Easthouses. He's a joy to watch and in some respects I think we may have got the best of him. Lots of fans and players talked about Diouf coming to Scotland and the welcome he should get. It takes someone with the nuts of Scott Brown to give him the message where others are just full of talk.

I was too young to see Stanton but from what I here he was not the type of players who would go about winding up opposite players and fans. So to answer your question, No. Can you not remember the game at ER a few years ago he was winding up Zemmama the whole game trying to get him booked and so on. Was Scott Brown a legend then?

[One Day Soon]

So is that a no? :greengrin

I'm saying this thread exists because Scott Brown exists, regardless of who he now plays for.

No, that's not what you said.

You said "I cant stand any player that plays for the Old Firm. He is a whinging wee get." Pat Stanton played for Celtic and Riordan did too - so your 'logic' means that you hate them also. Your complaint was that they played for the Ugly Sisters, not how they played or what they did while playing.

You are trying to twist what you said to make it seem more reasonable.

[Cal 7-0]

Sorry don't get the love in, great when he was here now with the filth lets move on!

Yes I did hate Riordan when he played for Celtic. I was not born when Stanton was about. I support Hibs, not Scott Brown or Derek Riordan or any ex player that plays for the Old Firm or any other team for that matter.

[Aubenas]

A murder in Blantyre, high alert for post match violence in Glasgow and then that. Do we really need one overpumped nyaff doing that to another overpumped nyaff as an example to the low life that are out there?

God save football from the macho morons - it's supposed to be beautiful, and a game, not a platform for winding up idiots - on or off the pitch.

[One Day Soon]

A joy to watch. Are you mad. Most Celtic fans I know are raging that we robbed them off for 4.5 million.

First I would not take the judgment of fans of either of the Ugly Sisters to be worth much. These are the people who think Scottish football owes them a living, that they should be in the English Premiership and who have allowed their bigotry to suck Scottish football dry over decades.

Second, of course they don't think he was worth 4.5 million - they have been used for years to picking off the cream of our players for sweeties. (thank you Rod petrie for beginning to equalise that imbalance)

Third he is an outstanding player and his guts, movement and ability testify to that. Not only would he be the first pick on an Easter Road team sheet just now, but he would probably feature in an all time Hibs first eleven too. The fact that Celtc couldn't play him in the right position or formation for so long does not make him a lesser player.

[Removed]

What was the question again?

I'm saying this thread exists because Scott Brown exists, regardless of who he now plays for.

And that's fair enough. I actually agree. Others might not.

[lapsedhibee]

Blowing kisses is all very well, but for me the standout comedy moment of his Hibs time was when he motioned to the Greyskull Loyal that he had dived. The nearest dregs' eyes were bulging at that. Genuinely funny. :thumbsup:

[blackpoolhibs]

And that's fair enough. I actually agree. Others might not.

I agree too, he's a tosser at times when we play them, i hate what he did with Thomshun that perhaps contributed to us not getting to the final of the Scottish Cup, but today was funny. And when he did similar things for Hibs we loved it. Anything that winds either half of that ****, is fine by me.

[greenlex]

Message from Brown. Diouf is a pussy. :thumbsup:

He is an ok player in a rubbish league. His career has went back the way IMO. When he was with Hibs he would drive the team on, run at defences, put in great tackles and so on, exactly what Charlie Adam does for Blackpool.

Ill not disagree with you though that he could possibly be in our all time 11. He would certainly be in my all time 11 since I started watching Hibs in the 90s.

Taking your logic to its conclusion would mean not allowing these teams to play each other. There's something in that....

If you think that Scott Brown's behaviour is what drives this sectarian stuff then you are vastly underselling it. It is what idiots see the two clubs as standing for that provides the platform for their deadly behaviour. It happens week in and week out in matches all over the country but people don't generally get stabbed after those games. Why is that I wonder?

Your spot on. If Brown was a Rangers player, people on this board would not be creaming about him, which makes it all more cringeworthy that people think its ok to like him as he plays for Celtic.

The team I wanted to see him join was Liverpool. I dont particularly follow them but I just thought he would suit their style of play. Still do.

That, with respect, is just complete bollocks - at least as far as my own contributions are concerned. Did you not read my earlier post on this above?

And in fact my own perception following a few years of posting on here is that Hibs Netters generally have equal contempt for the Ugly Sisters. Perhaps you have evidence to the contrary?

Not from me you wouldn't? I actually dislike celtc more than the huns these days, and if he'd done the same thing for them i'd have laughed out loud just the same as i did when doing it for celtc.

[steviecarnie]

Dry yer eyes FFS, some of you need to get out your wee hibs bubbles, the OP is just expressing an opinion, on what I personally found funny!! Diouf is an odious little man and quite rightly is hated by many people north and south of the border. Winding opposition players up is part and parcel of the game, and it indeers him to his home fans,

if that was deek to skacel we'd all be loving it!! and anyone who says the would quite frankly is a LIAR

Oh sorry didn't you know? Scott used to play for Hibs. Helped us win a cup. 'Made his Bones' with us as it were and when he signed for Celtc I believe that he, like Gary O'Connor, donated his signing on fee to the Hibs youth academy. I could be wrong.

I haven't seen anyone in this thread supporting Celtc - have you?

It is a Hibs board for Hibs fans - and some of us have long and fond memories of those players who graced the green with exceptional ability.

[Reaper]

I think the saddest thing about Broony is he is playing well below the class we all know he is or could've been and has been since he went there. If I were him I would concentrate on playing football as the truly great players don't tend to do petty wind ups like that as there class allows them to do their talking on the pitch.:blah:

Then I referred to the Hibs, Celtic game a few years ago when he was squaring up to Zemmama grabbing his testicles trying to get Zemmama booked. Was he still a legend then?

What a great idea. Anyone else up for this?

[CB_NO3]

Spot on. Pat Stanton. UNQUESTIONABLY a legend. Shame he won the league and cup with someone else though.
Why does that bother you. You support Scott Brown.

[blackpoolhibs]

Of course you are quite right. No other player at Hibs has ever placed a transfer request. Deeks never wanted away did he?

I don't recall Scott bad mouthing the club - though I do remember Katie making quite an erchie of himself in that regard.

He came out when we wouldn't sell him to the huns, and told the papers he was that angry and he'd see his contract out and we wouldn't see a penny. He acted like a turd.

[Iggy Pope]

Why does that bother you. You support Scott Brown.

but not Hibs?

[Beefster]

We must be due another Scott Brown love-in by now, right enough.

A thread on the main Hibs fans website calling a current Celtic player a legend for his actions in a Celtic shirt. Mental.

[One Day Soon]

Did you support these guys when they played for Hibs or when they played for Celtic?. Do you support every ex hibs player?. I dont like Scott Brown as a player because he plays for Celtic, that is the third time I have written this. I dont like him even more because he is a whinging get who moans about everything when it doesn't go his way (typical Old Firm player). I just think its embaressing that people on here think he is a legend for scoring a goal for Celtic or winding a Rangers player up while playing for Celtic. Then I referred to the Hibs, Celtic game a few years ago when he was squaring up to Zemmama grabbing his testicles trying to get Zemmama booked. Was he still a legend then?

But am a Hun.

He's a Hibs legend because of his time at Hibs. What's so hard to understand about that?

What he did today is entirely incidental to that but also hugely entertaining for anyone who saw how he played when he was with us.

And as a matter of fact I do tend to look out for former Hibs players. Always keen to see if they are doing well elsewhere. That is, for example, why I hope that it isn't Danny Lennon's St Mirren who go down this season.

Not sure why any of it bothers you either since you seem to be more motivated by who you don't support - ie Celtc and Rangers.

[Sir David Gray]

That, with respect, is just complete bollocks - at least as far as my own contributions are concerned. Did you not read my earlier post on this above?

And in fact my own perception following a few years of posting on here is that Hibs Netters generally have equal contempt for the Ugly Sisters. Perhaps you have evidence to the contrary?

I don't dispute what you're saying and I'll take your word for it that you dislike the two of them in equal measures.

However, I think it's fairly obvious that there's a number of people on here who, deep down, quite admire Celtic, what they stand for and their traditions and wish that we were more like them in terms of the songs that we sing and the banners that we wave etc.

I stand by what I said earlier, this thread would not exist if Scott Brown had been playing for Rangers this afternoon.

You are being a bit harsh Beefster. He also did things like this in a Hibs shirt and it was in front of arguably the most despised player in the UK. If he had done it to anyone else in a Rangers shirt I doubt the legend status would have been commented on. I may have still reached umpteen pages tho because some folk cant let comments pass without wanting the last word.

[CB_NO3]

It bothers me because he called me a Hun. Am hardly throwing out personal insults am I, especially on an internet messageboard, its not my style, but calling someone a Hun is below the belt. :devil:

Well it would be if that was why Scott was being called a legend. But it isn't, so its not.

Next you will be saying there are threads here on Hibs.net telling us David Cameron and Nick Clegg are doing a good job. Now that would be mental.

Well I certainly dispute what you are saying Falkirk Hibee. If Scott had been in a Rangers shirt and Diouf in a Celtc shirt Iwould have enthusiastically posted the same thing. Since I am the OP I think I have the right to state that and for you to either accept it or call me a liar.

Check any thread where I have tangled with Jack Regan and you will see that I do not fit into the picture you paint. If you are referring to others I would be interested to know who because if you are right in any regard at all it can only be a very small handful of people judging by what I have read on here.

Don't turn it into something else. We are talking about Scott Brown, ex-Hibs player. Not centuries of mis-treatment, bigotry and opinion.

You did read the OP, right?

Well yes, seeing as I wrote the OP I think you can fairly assume I that I read it too.
And all of the following discussion. And if you had done the same you would have read that a) I regard him as a Hibs legend and b) I thought what he did today was both typical of him and nothing to do with which other team he now plays. I also said that I wished we still had him. And I do.

Oh aye- he was really going to do that eh?

He did plenty bad mouthing and dummy spitting- including having pops at the fans but folk have turned a blind eye to it.

The difference between Scott Brown and Kevin Thomson is that JC wouldn't let Brown go when he wanted to. If he'd been given the nod to follow his mate down the M8 he'd have been down it like a shot yet he's treated like some kind of loyal hero by Hibs fans.

No thats not what I'm saying and you know that? He spat his dummy out when he didn't get his own way, and said he'd make sure Hibs got nothing for him when he left. We all knew it was bollox, as he still had 2 and a half maybe 3 and a half years left on his contract, but he wanted away, and didnt give a toss about hibs the fans in fact anything about the club. He made as much trouble as thomshun

Well that's my theory about Hibs fans blown then.:greengrin

[clerriehibs]

First I would not take the judgment of fans of either of the Ugly Sisters to be worth much. These are the people who think Scottish football owes them a living, that they should be in the English Premiership and who have allowed their bigotry to suck Scottish football dry over decades.

Second, of course they don't think he was worth 4.5 million - they have been used for years to picking off the cream of our players for sweeties. (thank you Rod petrie for beginning to equalise that imbalance)

Third he is an outstanding player and his guts, movement and ability testify to that. Not only would he be the first pick on an Easter Road team sheet just now, but he would probably feature in an all time Hibs first eleven too. The fact that Celtc couldn't play him in the right position or formation for so long does not make him a lesser player.

I'm one of deek's fans, but the above? Probably not ...

[iwasthere1972]

Sticks the ball in the net beautifully with his weaker left foot to equalise for Celtc at Ibrox and then celebrates by standing arms in the air staring Diouf straight in the eyes. No fear, no limits.

Always a joy to watch. How I wish he was still ours.

The best outcome would have been for them to knock ten bells out of each other before being shown a red card. They both deserve each other.

In the first place all that is pretty much part and parcel of what happens in the modern game. Secondly I think you will find Scott pretty much kept his head down during all of that and the main culprit was his equally legendary (not for good reasons) agent. Thirdly he absolutely DID NOT make as much trouble as Katie (don't remember Scott having a newspaper column as a platform) and if you knew much about him you would know that the intellectual planning and execution of that sort of thing would be, shall we say, a challenge. So who's rewriting history now? Fourth, he would have had two choices - stay or go. If he had stayed and played out his contract then we would have got nowt for him. Are you saying we are not a selling club?

Agents and other clubs unsettle players as part of the process of prizing them away from their current clubs. Get over it.

Away and bile yer heid. Brown went in the huff when he couldnt get his own way. He went to the papers and used them to vent his displeasure, just like the hun. The only one rewriting history is you. And the bit i have highlighted was why he went to the papers? Of course we are a selling club, but when you have as long left as he did, we will sell when the times right, not when that little scrote wants. And as for being over it. lol

Helped us win the cup, was a good right back for us. He scored a great penalty today infront of the Celtic fans. He has won 7 trophies which is 4 more than Scott Brown. He has scored more goals for Rangers than Scott Brown has for Celtic. He scored a goal in a Uefa Cup Quarter Final and played in a Uefa Cup Final.

This guy has done more than Scott Brown, surely he deserves much more credit and much more posts on a Hibs forum than Scott Brown does. Mmmm he plays for Rangers though so not going to happen, you get my point.

Steven Whittaker and Scott Brown were both good Hibs players. They both play for the Old Firm now, for that reason I dont like them. Stop this embaressing love fanscination over Scott Brown, its cringeworthy that Hibs fans still think he is the man when is one of them. You see the irony in this post?

That's SEVEN midfield players with a far greater claim to a place than Brown. I'm sure that given time for a wee bit research, I could quote you a couple more - oops, just thought of one - Jimmy Dunn, inside-right in the 1928 Wembley Wizards team. And another - Willie Hamilton... :faf:

That's two complete midfield fours before I'd even think of Scotty Bhoy....

Where you gonnae play him? Water-boy?

Since when has anything that happens in an OF hate-fest warranted any former Hibs player being labelled a 'legend'? Brown, like his buddy Katie, made life as difficult as he possibly could for John Collins and quite possibly (make that probably) was a prime mover in the trouble that scunnered Collins of working at ER. Is anyone seriously going to tell me Brown wasn't involved in that rebellion? At a time when he knew he was leaving, when it really didn't matter to him how Collins wanted the players to train?

A fitting and appropriate captain for a Neil Lennon Celtic team. Two chips of the same rotten block.

Not everyone is your vintage though. I would imagine that Scott Brown makes a lot of all-time Hibs XI's from say, the Under-30s?
And to blame Brown for the players revolt is surely only speculation.

Edit - and I would doubt that even you could have witnessed Jimmy Dunn!

Not favourites. All-time Hibs team. That means best players, or players who made a significant mark in the history of the club and the sport. Dunn and Combe both achieved much more than Brown has, and anything he achieves in the future will be as a Celtic player.

He was brilliant IMO. I'm not saying that as a Scott Brown fan. I'm not saying that as a Celtic fan. I'm saying that as a football fan.

[weecounty hibby]

Have to agree with Doddie and Cropleywasgod. Brown was a decent player for us but to give him "Hibs legend" status is way, way too far. In the not too distant past, Sauzee, Latapy, Collins all world class and then we can get into the older players that these guys talk about. Brown did it for a couple of seasons for us and then disappeared as soon as the OF offered big cash. He did it in a more dignified way than Katie but he still did it.

[Iggy Pope]

Not favourites. All-time Hibs team. That means best players, or players who made a significant mark in the history of the club and the sport. Dunn and Combe both achieved much more than Brown has, and anything he achieves in the future will be as a Celtic player.


Interesting. What did Jimmy Dunn achieve for Hibs that Scott Brown has not? His claim to fame would appear to be a noted appearance at Wembly for Scotland.

I look forward to you enlightening me on that one.

I know that Scott Brown made his mark in his time with us and indelibly, March 07 at Hampden Park is a significant part of that history you refer to.

According to Wiki he moved to Everton IMMEDIATELY after that Wembley apppearance.......hmmmmm.

Always happy to oblige.

One thing at least - he stayed 8 years and didn't leave such a nasty taste behind him when he left.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Dunn_(Scottish_footballer)

I'm still trying to work out exactly why so may Hibs supporters are going all misty-eyed at something a Celtic player did in an OF game?

(Thinks) Is there more tio this than meets the eye? :devil:

8 years at the club before that.

And as I say, he didn't leave the nasty taste behind him that Brown did.

[SMAXXA]

Its funny how we all see things differently. My view was that Brown had a wee go at Diouf in the first half and Diouf went on to rip the p*ss out of Brown on 2 occasions that I can recall/ For me tho, your teams down to 10 men in an old firm scottish cup tie when youve just scored the equaliser and the first think the guy has in his head is to taunt an opposition player regardless of who he is, says more about Browns personality/attiitude than anything else.

The guys a tosser and he reeks of the same lack of class that is befitting any old firm player!.

Away and celebrate with your own and stop inciting trouble you idiot!

IMO that is!

[Iggy Pope]

You have yet to tell me what he achieved. Benny Brazil was with us for 8 seasons and more.

[weecounty hibby]

Discuss.
Collins stayed on for a further two years after Celtics first aproach, saying he still had much to learn. Staying with Hibs for two more years made him a better player. Brown has at best stayed as he was. When Collins went to Celtic he wasa far far better player than Brown, proved by his subsequent moves. Latapy ended his time similar to Brown by leaving a sour taste but I think his time was up anyway due to disciplinary issues.

[Mon Dieu4]

I liked Brown when he was at Hibs and his petulant streak, he had a real chance in my opinion to be one of the best Scottish players in a generation, if he had went to the likes of Reading he would have only been there a couple of season, enhanced his game and had lots of bigger clubs looking at him.

Instead he took the easy way out and joined Celtc, he is no better a player now than he was at Hibs, he acted like a total erky towards Hibs as much as Thomson did, fair enough in the end he knuckled down and won the cup but as far as im concerned he is an erse(Yep I now cheer Deek & Murray and im a two faced bassa but I dont care, they actually play for HIBERNIAN again).

In one of the games he played back at Easter Road I booed him like I do with any Old Firm player and someone was trying to give me pelters for it, Legend FFS aye right Franck & Russell to name two would never tire of nutmegging him for 90 mins solid

As I remember it Doddie, Brown was given a standing ovation by fans in his last game at ER so hardly a nasty taste. Did I just imagine that? Are are making things up to suit your point of view?

That make those two legends then? I've got it now.

And what do you know of the subsequent moves of Scott Brown?

Look at the rest of the forward line in that Scotland team.

Alex Jackson, James Dunn, Hughie Gallacher, Alex James, Alan Morton - genuine legends of the game.

No, IMO it makes them better players than Brown. People on here who think Brown is some sort of legend are seriously ****ed up. Decent player won a cup with us but does that make McNeil who played in goals that day a Hibs legend, I would say not. Des Bremner won nothing with Hibs but won the league and European cup with AV, more of a legend than Brown, and also a better player. I expect Brown to sit tight at Celtic for most of his career as it is easy for him, he had the option to go to EPL when he left us but took the easy option just as I think he will continue to do, all IMO of course.

[johnrebus]

Thought that Brown's attempt to wind up El Hadj Duoif after his goal this afternoon was really sad.

Brown and Celtic are the perfect match.

Hibs Legend my arse.

True. Maybe I'm being too subjective here, but I cannot imagine that Brown wasn't involved in the dressing-room trouble just before he left. He had had a major falling-out with Collins just a few months before, he had got what he wanted (a medal), and he had a chance to get back at Collins big-time, with no danger of anything coming back on himself.

He's never come over to ME as the forgiving sort. :rolleyes:

Nor can I quite understand why so many Hibs supporters forgot so easily the way he behaved for week after week in the first part of the season - until he got his way. Or that he was part of the team that failed so miserably in the Scottish Cup. Or the way his transfer and so many others are flung at us time after time by the Celtic support.

Maybe I just don't think Celtic players should be touted as HIBS legends - because make no mistake, when his career comes to be assessed after his retirement, he won't be thought of as a Hibs player. He'll be Celtic green all the way.

Not alone there though. All those other legends you spoke of failed in the Scottish at some time or another. Including Jimmy Dunn in a couple of finals if I've got it right.

And you continue to speculate about his role in the Dressing Room. Lacks substance I'm afraid.

[One Day Soon]

That is total rubbish.

All-time Hibs eleven?

He's better than Bobby Johnstone and Eddie Turnbull? DON'T think so.

Pat Stanton? Aye, right.

Alex Cropley. Not a chance.

Jim O'Rourke? You're having a laugh.

John Collins? Get real.

Bobby Combe? Nope.


That's SEVEN midfield players with a far greater claim to a place than Brown. I'm sure that given time for a wee bit research, I could quote you a couple more - oops, just thought of one - Jimmy Dunn, inside-right in the 1928 Wembley Wizards team. And another - Willie Hamilton... :faf:

That's two complete midfield fours before I'd even think of Scotty Bhoy....

Where you gonnae play him? Water-boy?

Since when has anything that happens in an OF hate-fest warranted any former Hibs player being labelled a 'legend'? Brown, like his buddy Katie, made life as difficult as he possibly could for John Collins and quite possibly (make that probably) was a prime mover in the trouble that scunnered Collins of working at ER. Is anyone seriously going to tell me Brown wasn't involved in that rebellion? At a time when he knew he was leaving, when it really didn't matter to him how Collins wanted the players to train?

A fitting and appropriate captain for a Neil Lennon Celtic team. Two chips of the same rotten block.

Did you read all of this debate or just the bits that you fancied? Scott is a Hibs legend for his time at Hibs - not for his time at Celtc. Today's incident merely served to remind me of what we are missing and then to post on it.

When it comes to an all time Hibs eleven it depends for starters on what formation you are going to play. I cannot comment on, for example, the worth of Jimmy Dunn from 1928 as - not surprisingly - I never saw him play. In my view Scott, at his best at Hibs, was one of the best players of his type I have seen at ER.

You seem to have a wee bit of an issue with Celtc.

:agree:

The term legend is used far too readily nowadays , not just in football but in all areas. Its all part of the sensationalising of language where people find the need to use over the top language to describe something quite ordinary ie someones had a busy day at work so they are "stressed". I blame the soaps and reality TV.

I wonder how folk would have viewed Browns antics if he hadnt played for Hibs ?
" Legend" or petulant weasel faced nyaff:devil:

Why didn't he head South then and prove it in a decent league rather than choose to be a big fish in a small pond?

Your argument falls squarely into the "if ma auntie had baws she would be ma uncle" camp.

[One Day Soon]

That's the pity of it. Of course he may yet do that. Good to see the likes of Fletcher managing it and cutting the mustard. Always a shame when someone sparkling with promise like Kevin Harper heads south and doesn't quite make it to the level you would have hoped.

But hush my mouth, he left us and therefore we must no longer speak of him.

[greenlex]

Why didn't he head South then and prove it in a decent league rather than choose to be a big fish in a small pond?
I imagine its because he could earn the same money and set himself up for life without leaving the area.
There is time with his next move to experiment on the bigger stage. All IMO of course. I reckon for a player like Brown the Premiership will afford hm far more space and is a lot slower than the SPL. If he could stay injury free he could be a big player there. Should he choose it of course.

[tanfield]

As someone said, people use the word "legend" too much these days, it's like the evening news using the word "star" to make a story more appealing.

Is scott brown a genuine hibs legend? I personally don't think so and I find it hard to consider anyone who is still playing to be a legend!

Yes, he was a good player and was instrumental in a side that won a major domestic honour. The kind of player who got you out of your seat.

I'm getting more amusement with people squabbling over their all time hibs midfield and and even HH's efforts of saying that 8 years at the club was not loyal for jimmy dunn, than with whatever a celtic player got up to today.

[hibee_nation]

This thread has taken so many directions i don't know where to start.
My take on it is Diouf came with the bad boy reputation from the biggest and best league in the world, he tried to play it up at the free kick showing i'm the man moving the ball back etc. When the time was right the wee Scotsman fae Fife got it right up him and looked him right in the eye basically sayin I'm the daddy. :aok:
Regardless who he plays for well done that man for showing that piece of **** he ain't gonna intimidate anyone up here. After today his gas is at a peep. :greengrin
As was mentioned earlier Scotties fake dive to the huns at Ipox earned him legend status in my eyes. He had them spewin, nuff said. :greengrin

[Cod Boy]

Had diouf scored and done what brown did he would be getting slated by folk

[Shrekko]

Scott Brown is a winner.

Unlike most at Easter Road!

You mean he runs about like a headless chicken when his teams losing? He's still not exactly disciplined is he?

If he's such a winner how come he's still playing SPL when some folk on here rate him as close to world class? How come until recently he wasn't even well liked by Celtic fans?

Although he's a good player I wouldn't really class him as a 'winner'. Big-head yes.

Cannae believe the man love the guy gets on here.

[Wotherspiniesta]

Had diouf scored and done what brown did he would be getting slated by folk

That's because Diouf is a disgusting human being

....And he never played for Hibs :greengrin

David Cameron is right.....multi culturism doesn't work.

El Haj Diouf wants to spit on people and laugh at people with broken legs.

British people want to get drunk.stab people, call their kids stupid names and take loads of drugs and benefits.

Bleak picture.

[Ed De Gramo]

He came out when we wouldn't sell him to the huns, and told the papers he was that angry and he'd see his contract out and we wouldn't see a penny. He acted like a turd.

Allegedly....

As much as I despise that worm Thomson....I think there was a lot of commetns being taken out of context

[essexhibee]

Well played scotty!
Diouf is a sewer rate....utterly despiciple creature. Loved the fact he was winding up that ****bag.

No he's not. He's just grubbing for Tory votes.

That's because of the person he is, it isn't because of where he comes from or because of his 'culture'.

British people want to get drunk.stab people, call their kids stupid names and take loads of drugs and benefits.
I'm British. I don't want to get drunk, stab people, call my kids stupid names and take loads of drugs and benefits. And neither do the vast majority of people living in this country.

I don't know whether posts on this thread would be at home on Kerrydale Street - I've never been there or indeed any other Celtc website. Frankly though I haven't seen anything on here that looks particularly pro-Celtc.

But anyway what, precisely, is your issue with Celtc?

[silverhibee]

Of course you are quite right. No other player at Hibs has ever placed a transfer request. Deeks never wanted away did he?

I don't recall Scott bad mouthing the club - though I do remember Katie making quite an erchie of himself in that regard.

Its not really about Deek, and he never stooped so low as to hand in a transfer request to leave Hibs, he seen his 5 year contract out that he signed at the time, and that was his right to do that.

I remember SB bad mouthing fans, saying him and katie got a hard time from Hibs fans in a restraunt and said they felt threatened by the situation and had to leave, and dont forget his agent how he made out that SB was a victim in all the carry on that went on with his agent and the idiot from the daily ****** who printed there stories.

I have no beef with Derek but was he happy enough to sit on the bench at Celtic till Hibs got nothing for him until he was of age where no payment needed to be made

Brown's transfer request was handed in straight after a defeat IIRC. Hardly the actions of a legend.
I don't really blame either player for wanting to chase the money. It's their careers. But I really don't understand why KT's behaviour has been considered worse than Broon's. It looked like they were working in tandem to me.

[silverhibee]

It was arrogant, dangerous and stupid..... however I will enjoy even more watching Palsson level him.


:tee hee:

[FranckSuzy]

I'm one of deek's fans, but the above? Probably not ...

Are they not talking about Broony? :confused:

[sesoim]

If a Hibs captain had done that, in a cup tie when we were already a man short, knowing fine well he's going to get a booking and there's still 20 minutes to go, I wouldn't have described it as 'class'

Totally and utterly stupid and pointless would be a better description.


:agree: Brown was a great player (at times) for us, but he has always came across as a dislikeable moron. There's no way normal fans would celebrate folk acting like antoganistic ****. But then again, looking around the East Stand:offski:.

But anyway what, precisely, is your issue with Celtc?


First, they're one of two clubs that have made serious (and almost successful) efforts to put Hibs completely out of business. For this reason they're hardly top of my 'most popular competitors' list.

Second, it wasn't so long ago that the South Stand was full of banners celebrating the fact that we had been thier 'feeder club' since 1888 - you must remember this - it was the banner where they mis-spelled 'Celtc'?

Third, the assumption by many of their supporters that somehow or other Hibs are Celtic's 'wee brothers' and that when we play them we have some sort of obligation to lie down to them - we're supposed to prefer THEM to win the League rather than Rangers. Personally, I couldn't care less which of the gruesome twosome win anything - they're joined at the hip, two sides of one totally unacceptable elemant of Scottish society.

Third, I never have, do not, and never will go all goo-goo and sentimental over any player who, like Brown, uses Hibs as a nothing more than a stepping-stone to a big contract with either of the OF. And who cares so little for the club that he's prepared to do damage to it, to hold it to ransom?

A player who behaves in the way Brown and Thomson did in engineering their move - Collins, also a fine midfielder with Hibs and new in the job, surely deserved a little better from players of the 'stature' and importance to the club of these two? Has everyone forgotten that the two of them were working together, with the same agent? I'm supposed to be grateful that Brown stayed six months longer than Katie - and was well-paid for doing so?

A player who caused months of strife and disruption at the club - disruption we could well have done without; and a player who I say again I am quite convinced was implicated in the dressing-room rebellion that spelled out the beginning of the end for JC?

We were told that 19 players arrived on RP's doorstep that night - no names have been mentioned, but do you seriously expect me to believe that Brown wasn't among them? Scotty stayed at home watching 'Desperate Housewives' while the others went off on the demo? I must be much, much more cynical than you, or perhaps you're much more naive than I am, but Brown doesn't come over to me as one who forgives easily or forgets, and Brown was the guy Collins showed up in the gym when he came in as manager.

If Whittaker had scored this afternoon, and got in Brown's face the way Brown got in Diouf's, would we have had this thread? I really don't think we would, and that bothers me, because it suggests that some of us are still hankering after hanging on Celtic's coat-tails. Bad enough that they despise us, but I don't have to like it.

Like I said - some of the posts on here would fit in on Kerrydale Street without breaking the pattern in the least. Actually, Kerrydale Street's a good site to go to to find out what the Celtic supporters really think of Hibs.

In total agreement up to this point and relieved to see there's no distinction being made between the Ugly Sisters. Actually I think those at Greyskull have the honesty to be and say what they are, whereas the plastics are worse because they are in denial and - like those of them who visit here - tend to be both evasive and dishonest about their own sectarian problem.

Third, I never have, do not, and never will go all goo-goo and sentimental over any player who, like Brown, uses Hibs as a nothing more than a stepping-stone to a big contract with either of the OF. And who cares so little for the club that he's prepared to do damage to it, to hold it to ransom?

All good players at hibs are using the club as a stepping stone to somewhere so I see this position as being a bit nonsensical.

A player who behaves in the way Brown and Thomson did in engineering their move - Collins, also a fine midfielder with Hibs and new in the job, surely deserved a little better from players of the 'stature' and importance to the club of these two? Has everyone forgotten that the two of them were working together, with the same agent? I'm supposed to be grateful that Brown stayed six months longer than Katie - and was well-paid for doing so?

Well there is at the very least a difference of aproach between the two. One stayed longer and the other didn't. But the truth is that both were being run by their agent were they not and that is where the majority of criticism ought to be directed.

A player who caused months of strife and disruption at the club - disruption we could well have done without; and a player who I say again I am quite convinced was implicated in the dressing-room rebellion that spelled out the beginning of the end for JC?

But when all is said and done this is just assertion. You have no idea who did and did not join this delegation.

If Whittaker had scored this afternoon, and got in Brown's face the way Brown got in Diouf's, would we have had this thread? I really don't think we would, and that bothers me, because it suggests that some of us are still hankering after hanging on Celtic's coat-tails. Bad enough that they despise us, but I don't have to like it.

No we wouldn't be having this discussion because a key part of it is the person in whose face he was getting. No Diouf, no story. Had Scott been a Rangers player and Diouf playing for Celtc then I would have posted exactly the same thing.

Like I said - some of the posts on here would fit in on Kerrydale Street without breaking the pattern in the least. Actually, Kerrydale Street's a good site to go to to find out what the Celtic supporters really think of Hibs.

Because of you I have now had a look at Kerrydale Street. My considered opinion is that you should not be wasting your time reading drivel like that.

It only takes a few keystrokes once in a long while. Don't think I'm a regular - my immune system isn't of the best and prolonged exposure to to KS or any other Celtic-dominated environment would certainly lead to severe health issues.

We used to have a missionary come over here from KS to convert us to right-thinking Plastic Oirish Paddies, but Jack hasn't been around for a while. Maybe they've killed and eaten him.

Truth is, while I've never doubted Brown's ability, he was never a player I liked. (I don't like Diouf either, tbh.)

I know good players at ER are looking for the big move, but not every player who leaves ER engineers that move in as nasty and cynical a manner as did KT and SB. And in my experience the player instructs the agent, not the other way round. They didn't have to treat the club or the manager as badly as they did. Lots of fine players have left ER in the years I've followed Hibs, but the Brown/Thomson saga was the worst I can remember for disruption, nastiness and venom.

I do not like either Celtic or Rangers, but I'm old enough to remember when a certain section of the Hibs support automatically supported Celtic in OF games on the basis that Hibs were an Irish club like Celtic. And we sang the songs they sang, too. I don't want to see it back. We aren't Celtic clones.


PS: You DID have all your inoculations before you went on K'dale St? I wouldn't like you to come down with anything nasty....

[steakbake]

:agree: Brown was a great player (at times) for us, but he has always came across as a dislikeable moron. There's no way normal fans would celebrate folk acting like antoganistic ****. But then again, looking around the East Stand:offski:.

This is the winning post. The diamond amid the horse sh*te.

Its the kind of ******** hard-man/halfwit behavior being 'celebrated' here that really sticks in my craw.

Brown gave the stand out performance as the ******** in chief which is some achievement when he's surrounded by 50,000 others to choose from.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Canny be bothered to read all of this thread.

My opinion of Scott Brown at Hibs ...... Bloody excellent :not worth

My opinion of Scott Brown at Celtic ......

[Captain Trips]

Brown and Diouf are a pair knobs, 8 pages on this clownshoe duo, dissapointed I felt I had to add my opinion but I have.

[Green_one]

I have no gripe against Brown and was pleased to see both him and Whittaker get goals.

I thought they were bright points in a poor game technically, full of 'fight ball' and lacking any flowing play.

How saying something like this should somehow be an Irish issue I have no idea. These guys played for Hibs for a number of years, are our product and won the cup with us. Sadly they moved on but that is part of our position as a club. We got very good money for these guys, without which Hibs would be in a much poorer state. Neither ever said they were Hibs supporters or would stay for life. No-one would have believed them had they said so.

Scotty and Whittaker have always been pretty strainght with us in games against Hibs. Brown was obviously going to be an irritating player for the opposition. He stood up to Diouf, who is a complete ******. Maybe he was a little OTT but so what. We were all saying how great is was to see Hibs midfield get physical, then how can we point at Brown? I think some people have too many issues with celtic to think objectively.

[Phil MaGlass]

This thread is already 8 pages long, so I reckon he actually adds to the Scottish game, Scottish fitba needs characters like Broonie and dare I say it lennon(:asshole:), we would be poorer without them. I wouldnt really say Broonie has gotten worse after leaving us, he was better than average with us and plays well at Celtic. Mibbe not class in some eyes but yi cannae please everyone.

[Steve20]

Handing in a transfer request right after a game. Legend? Not a chance.

If it had been the other way about yesterday, I am sure the same people praising Brown would have been calling Diouf a disgrace.

[Septimus]

I was too young to see Stanton but from what I here he was not the type of players who would go about winding up opposite players and fans. So to answer your question, No. Can you not remember the game at ER a few years ago he was winding up Zemmama the whole game trying to get him booked and so on. Was Scott Brown a legend then?

Stanton left Hibs under very different circumstances from Brown and was a classic style player whoes message was contained in the manner in which he played.

Watching yesterday I got the impression that the message was that we Scots are just as hard men as you will ever be. A sort of "These Colours Don't Run" in a gesture.

Childish in the extreme IMHO

[blackpoolhibs]

Allegedly....

As much as I despise that worm Thomson....I think there was a lot of commetns being taken out of context

Go on then, expand on that. What comments were taken out of context?

[Golden Bear]

First, they're one of two clubs that have made serious (and almost successful) efforts to put Hibs completely out of business. For this reason they're hardly top of my 'most popular competitors' list.

Second, it wasn't so long ago that the South Stand was full of banners celebrating the fact that we had been thier 'feeder club' since 1888 - you must remember this - it was the banner where they mis-spelled 'Celtc'?

Third, the assumption by many of their supporters that somehow or other Hibs are Celtic's 'wee brothers' and that when we play them we have some sort of obligation to lie down to them - we're supposed to prefer THEM to win the League rather than Rangers. Personally, I couldn't care less which of the gruesome twosome win anything - they're joined at the hip, two sides of one totally unacceptable elemant of Scottish society.

Third, I never have, do not, and never will go all goo-goo and sentimental over any player who, like Brown, uses Hibs as a nothing more than a stepping-stone to a big contract with either of the OF. And who cares so little for the club that he's prepared to do damage to it, to hold it to ransom?

A player who behaves in the way Brown and Thomson did in engineering their move - Collins, also a fine midfielder with Hibs and new in the job, surely deserved a little better from players of the 'stature' and importance to the club of these two? Has everyone forgotten that the two of them were working together, with the same agent? I'm supposed to be grateful that Brown stayed six months longer than Katie - and was well-paid for doing so?

A player who caused months of strife and disruption at the club - disruption we could well have done without; and a player who I say again I am quite convinced was implicated in the dressing-room rebellion that spelled out the beginning of the end for JC?

We were told that 19 players arrived on RP's doorstep that night - no names have been mentioned, but do you seriously expect me to believe that Brown wasn't among them? Scotty stayed at home watching 'Desperate Housewives' while the others went off on the demo? I must be much, much more cynical than you, or perhaps you're much more naive than I am, but Brown doesn't come over to me as one who forgives easily or forgets, and Brown was the guy Collins showed up in the gym when he came in as manager.

Absolutely excellent.

[jakedance]

I don't really care what a Celtic player does to a Rangers player but I can understand why Brown did this.

Diouf spat on the Celtic support and, as club captain, Brown probably felt he needed to even up the score a bit. It may not have been very classy but, well, this is the old firm we're talking about here. Fitba is always better when you've got these wee personal battles going on. I might even watch the replay now.

Was Brown even at Celtic at that time, although their captain, I'm sure his allegiance lies elsewhere does it not. :wink:

[hibiedude]

Scot Brown went OTT yesterday

He was a great player for us but watching him against Rangers he clearly trying to get El hadji Diouf sent off.

And before the critics start....... I have no time for Diouf for his spitting and telling a player to stop faking injury only to find out the guy had broken his leg.

What was the phrase used at the time....A Sewer Rat :agree:

[JimBHibees]

Scott Brown is certainly not a legend however he was an excellent player for Hibs and enjoyed watching him play. You always knew you were going to get 100% from him and no shortage of ability.

The way he and KT went about engineering their move out of the club was appalling of that there is no doubt. In saying that personally thought his celebration after the goal was very funny and would have said the same if it was the other way about.

Neil Warnock used that description then qualified it saying it was an insult to sewer rats. :greengrin

[Tricla]

Just had a scan through this thread because I'm not going to waste a longer part of my life reading it in detail.

Some of us seem to have a real affinity for Scott Brown/Celtc. :confused:

What I have deduced though is that anyone who thinks that Scott Brown or indeed Steven Whittaker were/are Hibs legends is having a laugh.

How anyone can hold these ambition-less twerps in the same regard as Pat Stanton, Derek Riordan, The Famous 5, Franck Sauzee etc is completely beyond me.

In regards to the players themselves, as I said earlier in the thread, I couldn't give a hoot about them as they no longer have anything to do with my club.

If everyone else felt th same this thread would have been less of a waste of server space!

Could not agree more..

can't believe sections of our support are sympathising with celtic and rangers players, comments on this board suggesting well done to brown and whittaker for scoring goals. i mean really why give a toss...:bitchy:

[Tricla]

I never said they were.

What I meant was that they are Hibs legends and Brown and Whittaker are not.

[J-C]

Just on SSN, Diouf said Brown was saying things about him and his family, then said, " who exactly is Scott brown, he's a nobody, I am bigger and stronger than he is. "

[StevieC]

Had diouf scored and done what brown did he would be getting slated by folk

Based on his history, that would hardly be surprising.

[blackpoolhibs]

I don't disagree, but both have won more and one in particular has done a lot more than Stanton and Riordan will ever do or have done in their careers.

One has had more ambition so far than both Stanton and Riordan, and the other could play in the EPL if he wants IN THE FUTURE.

I dislike Brown and Thomson with a passion, and neither are or even in the future will come anywhere near being a Hibs legend, but this whole thread has gone a long way away from what the original poster was meaning.

No way was it meant as Brown being a Hibs legend, just pointing out what he did was funny, and we loved him when he did it in our jersey.

[J-C]

Based on his history, that would hardly be surprising.


Apart from spitting, Brown has in his time been a dirty little ****** on the pitch just like Diouf, he's renowned for winding up opponents and putting in a few juicy challenges.

And therein lies the difference.
There are lots of players you love to hate, but it's a bit of a step to the level of Diouf who just seems to be an all round nasty piece of work.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

having actually met el hadji i have to say to hes a very nice guy. Absolutely bird daft and a genuinely good fun guy. Hes had his problems and done stupid things on the pitch but he does have a good side and is very generous off the field as well. He actually gives a lot to various different charities but you never seem to hear about that kid of stuff.

[Jim44]

A smile and a wink in Diouf's direction when he scored would have been miles more effective than the ridiculous posture he adopted.
