Could be seen as that. In reality, probably not.

Fair play for wanting to give something back. At the top of his game, he'd never be back at Hibs.

[zlatan]

Brown, Fletcher & Whittaker are the three I'd happily welcome back. Always done their best on the pitch for us, left after giving us a a good period of service and still always talk us up. Even after the tiff with JC, Brown still played his arse off for us, helped us win a cup and dragged us through those horrendous Dunfermline cup games on his own. Even on his last game against his future employers he was a one man show for us.

Still feel he could have become a better player down south but he's Scotland captain and playing the top names in Europe on a near annual basis so I'd say he'd be quite content with that.

This. Can't believe how some folk have taken this not often a former player speaks well of us in public, hope he has a stinker today but would love to see him back at ER

[Matty_Jack04]

:agree: Yeah seems like a bit of double standards. Scott Brown has never done anything wrong and if he would genuinely improve our squad at the end of his career I would welcome him back. I don't think he intended to be patronising in his comments, though I understand why some people are taking it like that.

He sounded patronising because he is celtics captain, no matter what his feelings are for hibs he has to be loyal and positive towards them, it's patronising if your looking to pick holes, he loves hibs he's enjoying being at Celtic enough not to want to try the EPL happy winning trophies playing in Europe and being scotland captain and would like to repay hibs IF HE CAN nothing wrong with it at all

[Fergus52]

Scott Brown's current game at celtic doesn't utilize his pace much, he seems to look after himself well so having him here in his thirties would be pretty good IMO.

The comparisons to O'Connor Thomson and even Riordan are silly. None of them had been captaining a league winning side and playing in the champions league.

[OsloHibs]

This. Can't believe how some folk have taken this not often a former player speaks well of us in public, hope he has a stinker today but would love to see him back at ER

Agree.

[blackpoolhibs]

We have signed plenty players over the years whose best days have been well behind them, and some have had a few very good years at Hibs.

Who's to say Scott Brown couldn't do the same?

[easty]

Pace? When did anyone last refer to Scott's game being about pace?

Anyone saying they wouldn't want the Scotland captain, and one of the best players to have played for Hibs in the last decade, is an numpty. Don't agree? Well I literally couldn't care less, cos you're wrong.

Haha class.

[Jim44]

:yawn:

[bandylegs_jLeighton]

Favourite player from the golden generation. I bet even in his mid 30's he would be good enough to return and probably captain this club.

It would be completely different from Riordan or O'Connor walking through the door out of shape, on route to the lower divisions. I think Brown will continue to be a good player, and play to a good level until he hangs up his boots because he seems naturally fit and has a big desire to win.

Still want him to have a mare today tho!

[SouthamptonHibs]

Wrong thread haha hurry home Scottie Broooon

[One Day Soon]

Broonie is a machine and has genuine love for Hibs. I knew he had been saying this privately a few months back.

If he was still fit enough and good enough we should take him in a heartbeat. Trust me, it isn't patronising from him it is heartfelt. And it has nothing to do with a payday or pension at the end of his career, he is well sorted on that score already.

[weecounty hibby]

So ex player with genuine affection for the club says he wants to play for us again in the future is patronising???? I took it as "I'll have made enough cash by then so money wont be an issue and i'd like to give something back to Hibs". We would never be able to afford his wages even at 34 so if he wants to and is still playing well I'd have him in a minute

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Whitty has said the same. Off record though

[Beefster]

Brown doesn't want to end his career at Hibs. He wants to end his career at Celtic.

Never mentioned SB - OK ?

Oh dear just because someone doesn't agree with you they are first " A NUMPTY" and secondly " WRONG"
Posting on here is all about PERSONAL OPINIONS which makes it interesting and at times fun . Please just accept that rather than set yourself up as an expert .

I respect your right to your opinion and now move on

I thought he'd been saying it for a lot longer than a few months!

[paul_hfc3]

Scott Brown is my favourite ever player I've seen play in a Hibs shirt. (I'm 22) He's a Hibs hero and was a fantastic footballer. Don't understand why he gets stick on this forum by some. I'd Gladly take him back at Hibs

[Beefster]

That is incorrect Beefster unless you know something we don't?

I think folk are ignoring what he actually said. He basically said that he wants to stay at Celtic but, if he leaves (ie they don't offer a contract), he'd like to come back to Hibs.

You can't compare Scott Brown with Riordan or GO'C.....the latter two are idiots who were unprofessional and never fulfilled their potential. The former is a professional, captained the league champions on several occasions and has played at the highest level in the Champions league.

Any such deal would have to be beneficial for Hibs first and foremost but to compare it just now with these two plums is simply wrong.

I agree with your statement about yesterdays men but would have to rethink that with a guy like Scott Brown if he was in a position to really help out at hibs from a leadership and performance point of view

My point was we have gone down this route a number of times over the years - "bringing back ex Hibs players now in their 30's" and in the majority of cases it hasn't really worked .
Often been an emotive return which once the " honeymoon " was over they didn't really justify their wages .
IF Brown has ideas of a return he will be another who is 30+ - how much will he have to offer :confused:

[The Green Goblin]

How's it patronising? He wants to move back to hibs when he's no longer first choice at celtics. What's the problem with that? Would you rather have Scott Robertson?

Why the needless dig at a player currently playing for us?

[Gerard]

I see no problem with a former player who wants to give something back to the club that helped him in his career as a football player. I hope that when he does leave Celtic that he can still give something back to Hibs.

[cabbageandribs1875]

[Famous Fiver]

Two who came back 'finished' - Bobby Johnstone and Joe Baker. Need I say more? Must be loads of others. Scottie, you can play for Hibs in your pipe and slippers, I'll pay to watch you.

Patronising little rat. Well suited to Celtic. I won't welcome him back should he ever return.

[DaveF]

I think folk are ignoring what he actually said. He basically said that he wants to stay at Celtic but, if he leaves (ie they don't offer a contract), he'd like to come back to Hibs.

I'd be happy enough with that even though its unlikely to happen while he's still got some fitba left in him.

If he's 35 and finished then he can **** off to Cowdenbeath :greengrin

[Frogga]

If this was Steven Fletcher or Whitty then it wouldn't be an a issue.

[Sir David Gray]

Patronising BS. We're not a charity.

Agreed.

Not sure that's how he intended it to come across but that's how I took his comments as well.

Basically, he's said there that he wants to end his career with Celtic but if there ever comes a day when he's no longer good enough for them and they don't want him, he would be happy to come back to us for a year or two to see out the remainder of his career.

No thanks.

Just about to say something similar. I've seen legend posted in the thread which I think is a bit strong.

[Cameron1875]

If you leave Hibs to go along the M8 to chase £££ then that should be you finished with this club. Obviously others will disagree but just my views.

He was a great player for Hibs but I don't think you can call anyone who left Hibs to join Celtic for cash, a 'legend'.

The guy answers a question honestly and gets ripped for it. Jeeezus

I'd take him back even if he's 34 when he arrives. Sad that some folk would rather we had the likes of Jim Goodwin

Oh god. How utterly tiresome these claims are.

It's not as if he, as Celtic captain would say "aye I want to go back to hibs before I retire even if Celtic still want me". Which he personally does.

Boy loves hibs, wants to come back an play for us before he has to call it a day and gets criticised. Absolutely mental.

I love the fact that a boy from Fife came to our club, loved it, supports us I'm semis and finals when Celtic isn't involved, went on to captain the best side in the country and his country and wants to come back to us.

All of the golden generation are the same by the way, as was Ian Murray and as is Kenny Miller now. We should be happy they all view our club in this way, using it as an opportunity to rip into a player is outrageous.

Left hibs for a scottish record fee which built the training complex.

loves hibs and wants to give something back..
You need a reality check son

Yes please.

I really don't see what the problem is here. He goes to hibs games and supports us when we are in semis and finals which shows we are still his team at heart. I bet the Celtic fans don't moan about that as long as he is doing the biz for them. I can see him playing for us in a deeper role and would love to have his experience to help young players at the club. Gave us some great times playing for us. My mate knows his dad and believe me there is no more bigger hibby then him.

If he's good enough and wants to come, I don't see any problems.

The only player I'd really be averse toward coming back would be Matt Doherty.

[silverhibee]

If you leave Hibs to go along the M8 to chase £££ then that should be you finished with this club. Obviously others will disagree but just my views.

He was a great player for Hibs but I don't think you can call anyone who left Hibs to join Celtic for cash, a 'legend'.

Pat Stanton John Collins Derek Riordan all three are Hibs legends.

[Aldo]

You can't compare Scott Brown with Riordan or GO'C.....the latter two are idiots who were unprofessional and never fulfilled their potential. The former is a professional, captained the league champions on several occasions and has played at the highest level in the Champions league. Any such deal would have to be beneficial for Hibs first and foremost but to compare it just now with these two plums is simply wrong. I agree with your statement about yesterdays men but would have to rethink that with a guy like Scott Brown if he was in a position to really help out at hibs from a leadership and performance point of view

You really think Riordan was/is an idiot. Dear dear. In my eyes the guys a legend. 100 plus goals for us.

Probably one of the most natural and talented finishers I have seen at ER.

What he's done with his life is his business.

[judas]

Is that what he said like? He said if he needs to leave Celtic he will want to join us again.

It's not as if he, as Celtic captain would say "aye I want to go back to hibs before I retire even if Celtic still want me". Which he personally does.

Boy loves hibs, wants to come back an play for us before he has to call it a day and gets criticised. Absolutely mental.

I love the fact that a boy from Fife came to our club, loved it, supports us I'm semis and finals when Celtic isn't involved, went on to captain the best side in the country and his country and wants to come back to us.

All of the golden generation are the same by the way, as was Ian Murray and as is Kenny Miller now. We should be happy they all view our club in this way, using it as an opportunity to rip into a player is outrageous.

Sorry. Heard it all before.

Strachan wants to hang up his boots at hibs, miller wants to hang up his boots at hibs, brown wants to hang up his boots at hibs. Boring, cliched and worthless to hibs at the present time.

[silverhibee]

Why the lower leagues comment? Are you saying that will be his level and if so what do you base that on?

PS I'm away to watch Barca so may not react to your response for a while :greengrin

Bitter, he never made it as a football player so just slates them. :wink:

Me I'm touchy
Touchy you

Are you so shallow to think a very good young player is going to stay with us his whole career.

I would gladly welcome back Scott Brown to the club... As I did with Derek Riordan .... Who btw is a club legend... In my eyes anyway.

[Alfred E Newman]

Sorry. Heard it all before.

Strachan wants to hang up his boots at hibs, miller wants to hang up his boots at hibs, brown wants to hang up his boots at hibs. Boring, cliched and worthless to hibs at the present time.

I know what you are saying, and what we really want to hear is quality players wanting to play for Hibs Now!

[Aldo]

Pat Stanton John Collins Derek Riordan all three are Hibs legends.

Exactly. What he said

[Cabbage East]

No thanks Broon. Away and join your pals in the lower leagues.

This makes no sense at all. What are you slavering about?

Absolutely spot on.

Gives his all in every game he plays for Celtc as he did for us but somehow also manages to convey the extra joy he gets from beating Hearts - like he did in the 0-7 game. Why's that I wonder?

If even 10% of the journeymen we've had disgracing Hibs jerseys since Scott left had been able to show 10% of his passion when playing for Hibs I'd be pretty b100dy surprised.

If at any stage he is fit enough, better than what we've got and is willing to come back it would be a no-brainer on every level.

Imagine just for a start the example he would be to the kids: trains like a bear, plays with 100% commitment, stayed long enough to mature as a player before getting his money move and then got the club a fat transfer fee and handed over his signing on fee. If we had three players a year doing that we'd be in a much better place.

As someone else has posted, aim your bile at the Matt Dohertys of this world not the ones who have actually won us something.

We'll said that man. Take Brown back any time so long as he's fit and able

[sadtom]

A number of crazy comments on here. Some from folk who's opinion of SB appears to be coloured more by which club he left for than anything else.
Broon was immense for us, a joy to watch and I was always convinced he would be a success where ever he went. I would rather he had gone south but he seems to be a bit of a 'home bird' and he has been able to make himself and his family secure for life. He is winning trophies, playing for a huge club, getting handsomely rewarded for it an getting to play regularly in the champions league.
Others have rightly pointed out that he got us our largest ever fee for a player, voluntarily handed over a substantial chunk of cash to the youth development, helped us win our 1st trophy in more than a decade, never gave anything less than 100% and perhaps more importantly, has never been disrespectful about Hibs since he left.
All he has done on this occasion is show that he still retains affection for the club and suggest that if his time passes at celtc and we were interested that he would be happy to return. Where is the problem? Its always good to hear former players talk highly of the club after they have left (imho).
If Broony was still fit and able at say 32/33, he would be a fantastic signing. When have we ever had the luxury of turning down a regular international class player with that sort of ability and experience?

If it did happen, then we would have a wee debt of gratitude to G Strachan and a lesser extent N Lennon.
The Broony that left us was exciting and all action. Those sort of players start to lose their effectiveness once they hit their 30's. The fact that in the last 5 or so years, he has learnt the more disciplined holding role has possibly extended the effectiveness of his career by 4-5 years.
Would love to see him back. Any time you are ready Scott.

[Diclonius]

What?

[Kaiserclem]

Let's be honest here, we would all take him in a second. Compared to what we have at the moment, would still be streaks ahead in the last couple of years of his career. Would use his experience on any young player and do a great job for us.

[gorgie greens]

it would be a no brainer for me and i would welcome him back to Easter Road,as was said before he gave Hibs his signing on fee which im sure was about £100000,

what's his value ?? if it was free then a load of wages !! cant see him coming home anytime soon.. :agree:

The first part - what you on about? :confused:

The second.....naw we wouldnae. They've got nowt to do with his affection for our club.

[Bishop Hibee]

I like Broony. He'd be in my post Tornadoes best Hibs XI. Imagine him alongside Latapy :drool::boo hoo: He makes no attempt to hide his genuine affection for Hibs and had we been able to afford him he would have stayed. Celtc offered him better wages, regular trophies and titles and CL football which no player would refuse.

If he were to return though, he'd have to have something to offer rather than an affectionate last hurrah ala Roy Keane at Celtc.

[sadtom]

1st - perhaps I didn't word it so well.
Quite often its not overt so my choice of words is wrong but I do think that sometimes some posts betray anti irish, particularly irish republican, (hence the glib use of the word 'fenian') sentiments.
We are a broad church and will probably cover the range from being fervently republican to staunchly loyal. The ones closer to the later associate celtc with irish republicanism and their dislike of both means that their comments can come across as questionable. I've read 'tattie munchers' or 'potato bowl' etc on here before and I think its inappropriate given our history.
In this instance I reckon they are letting their hostility to celtc colour their opinion of SB.
However I didnt explain myself vey well, and to stop any further confusion/offense I i'll remove the line from the post.

2nd- I thought it was obvious given the topic. Nowt to do with his affection for Hibs but if SB was to return to us in his early 30's then i think will be grateful if we got a few years more out of him. He has learnt a role under those 2 managers that may increase the length of his effectiveness on the park if ever did. return

You didn't have to reword or edit your post at all. I know exactly what you meant.

It's actually a sad reflection on our country that so many youngsters choose this simple route when trying to forge a strong identity for themselves.

[Steve-O]

Why the lower leagues comment? Are you saying that will be his level and if so what do you base that on?

PS I'm away to watch Barca so may not react to your response for a while :greengrin

Since Brown left Hibs (nearly 7 years ago now, unbelievable!) some of the hero worshipping and legend comments on here have been a bit much.

He doesn't deserve criticism though and I have never seen any evidence of him patronising us since he left. Far from it. From what I understand, he is very much a Hibs fan and cares a lot for the club. That's fine by me and don't think he should get any flack from us.

If there is ever a time in the future when suits both parties for him to return i.e. he wants to come back and still has something to offer us at the right price, then I'd be delighted to seem him back at ER. He shouldn't be criticised for saying he wants to do this. I think it is good that the likes of him, Thomson, Riordan, Murray, Whittaker, G O'C, Fletcher and Miller have all held us in high regard after going elsewhere.

I do think he'll come back to Hibs. He doesn't seem interested in England thought that could change but even then, I don't seem him going down there to a big club and being a big star. He might have a season or so at a lower end Prem or a Championship team after he's done at Celtic and then come up to Hibs. I reckon he might just come to us direct from Celtic though.

[Diclonius]

You never read any? I have.

I only recall one explicitly anti-Celtic/Catholic poster on here, and I'm pretty sure we banned him. The rest of the "anti-Irish" sentiment you're on about is directed exclusively toward Celtic's exploitation of their Irish roots for profit rather than hatred of the Irish people themselves. We have a number of Irish/of Irish descent posters on here (myself included) and I don't think they've ever been made to feel unwelcome.

[Greenworld]

what's his value ?? if it was free then a load of wages !! cant see him coming home anytime soon.. :agree:

Dear god no value he will have earned around 10 mill in wages
in a year or so at celtic....he is saying thank tou very much
I will play for nowt ....hence giving something back..not that he
owes us anything...already gave us 4.4 mill and his signing
fee what more do people want..

just the one usual blether earlier :agree: and i pmsl at the thought of his veins enlarging on his neck whilst typing :faf:



come on home Broonaldo(in 3 years)...and bring sparky with you

[TRC]

I remember working in a snooker hall when I was younger. Just when broony KT and the rest where coming through, there was a couple of billy big baws among them, nothing you wouldn't see from some **** that goes to George street on a Friday, but remember Scott Brown standing at the back of the group quiet as a church mouse head down. once they had finished playing they came to pay for the table and Scott Brown coming to the desk and ever so politely saying thanks very much, not much I know but after that I always thought of the guy as gent. he would come in to the club from time to time and always chat and have time for anyone who wanted to talk him. then after the first time I met him went to the game at the weekend and saw the snarling aggressive Broony we all know. Nice guy and IMHO is welcome back at ER anytime.

[147lothian]

It's a no brainer! He has never hidden his affection for Hibs, going to games even when he's on the high wages at celtic, on the football side, he can drive the team on like no one we are likely to get, look at how celtic missed their captain when he got the 3 game ban in the champions league, from a football point of view, anyone who thinks we don't need a player like that in the middle of the park needs a reality check

[silverhibee]

Has he handed in a transfer request to Lennon yet. :wink:

[ahibby]

We really need to get over Celtic. They are the biggest club in Scotland, get over it.

[Judas Iscariot]

Has he handed in a transfer request to Lennon yet. :wink:

Can get him in this window for 150k

FACT

[MrRobot]

the guy was offered 20 odd grand a week , you canny seriously of expected him to knock that back and stay at hibs for 2 or 3 grand a week

pat stanton went to celtic , does that omit him from legendary status in your eyes ?

If he was even getting 2-3 grand a week at Hibs.
