Told you so! lol

Said it at the time and I’m still saying it now, we missed out on getting a a right quality player with bags and bags of experience.

He might not have the legs but he’s got the football brain and more importantly that leadership alongside a winning mentality.

Why oh why are we signing the likes of Gogic when we could have had Broony?
I’m away for a greet. 😪😪😪

We missed out on Brown, we missed out on Griffiths, we missed out of Cumming’s all former players that would have helped us (1st team and squad)

We also missed out of McCart, McKay and McGrath.

I watch others teams attacking threat and see pace and movement. We have one fit striker who contributes next to nothing.

Sorry but that is garbage.

Until a week ago, Aberdeen fans I know were saying that he has been just about ok, but he doesnt have the legs plus they are paying a pile of cash which could be better spent elsewhere.

He was also pretty much responsible for the Hearts pen yesterday but played well after that.

What Brown says publicly and what happened privately might not necessarily be the same thing.

He's hardly going to come out and say I'd have preferred to join Hibs but they weren't interested. That's not going to go down well with Aberdeen fans.

The fact he has a young family and stays in Edinburgh my gut instinct, without claiming to be in the know, is that if a similar player /coach role at Hibs was offered he'd have been here.

He's doing his usual, the odd good game in amongst lots of very average to poor ones. Celtic struggled with him in their side, as he couldn't get near players younger and fitter in his last couple of seasons.

I was one who would have liked him back a few seasons back when there were rumours he might be leaving, but after watching him quite a lot last season i quickly realised those days where he would dominate midfield had gone.

hibee-boys
01-11-2021, 07:53 AM
Don’t think Brown was the answer at his age but we could do with an experienced, aggressive, leadership type in our team. Appreciate our signing policy seems to be buy young with potential sell on value but that shouldn’t be to the detriment of the current team.

Smartie
01-11-2021, 08:05 AM
With chaps like Brown I think it depends on who you pick to play around him. If you've got runners everywhere I think you can cope with one player who isn't that mobile.

If you've got a few who are getting on a bit and have mobility issues you're in a world of trouble.

Falkirk did a decent job for a while of having one Darren Dods or David McCracken type player to organise and then runners everywhere around them.

I wouldn't necessarily want Brown to play with Gogic, Allan, Mallan or latter day Whittaker but I could see him doing a good job alongside any number of more mobile players we've had over the years - the Scott Brown of 15 years ago for one.

Weegreenman

If I were JR, I’d have moved heaven and earth to bring him back. This has absolutely nothing to do with sentimentality and everything to do with how Broony could help us climb the table by adding much needed leadership as well as his playing ability.

Whether what Broony was allegedly have said regards not wanting to come back was true or not, there’s no doubt in my mind we’re missing a trick by not having him back.

The age old Hibs.net obsession with re-signing former players is alive & well.

Former Hibs' player has a good game and/or scores a goal and it's inevitable that there will be a thread on how we should have signed him/should sign him. Meanwhile, any time a current player has a bad game there will be calls to get rid. It's never not tiresome.

This summer is going to be horrendous when Griffiths, Cummings, McNulty, McGeough are all out of contract. Heck, we might even see more calls for the return of Simon Murray like we did before he signed for a team in League Two.

A few years ago he did say he wanted to finish his career at ER. After seeing what happened to Whits he must have changed his mind. I can only remember Pat McGinaly and Deeks doing well in their second spells at Hibs and they far from finished when they came for their second stint.

In 2018 he said he wasn't going to go back to Hibs because he would never leave Celtic. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/celtic-star-scott-brown-ends-12267981

This year he said Hibs were interested but he decided against coming back.

"A return to Hibs was another. "I could have went back to where it all started for me, but a lot of people there remember what you were like when you were 17, 18, 19," he explains. "I was hyperactive, I had a red mohawk. Could bomb up and down the pitch. Fit as a fiddle."

In his head, going back would have put him at risk of being compared to his first incarnation at Easter Road and he wanted something different. Something very different as it turned out."

I have been following the thread - well as much as I can cope with - and it’s just folk posting selective quotes as a substitution for any genuine knowledge at all. It’s a total nonsense.

EDIT: the OP says they wish Scott had returned to Hibs in the summer. That’s a reasonable discussion point.

There are 2 legitimate discussions to be had, though.

One is whether he would have improved us or not. Fwiw, I think he would have.

The second is around the criticism of Hibs for allegedly not approaching him when the only evidence, the interview I quoted, is that it was Scott's decision not to come.

I’m making nothing up D, it’s not my style. Anything I ever post is because I heard it from people I trust. I was told in the summer that he was keen to return to us. My comments on this thread are based on that information, nothing to do with making up a dialogue to suit any view. Which in this case I’m unsure if I would have wanted him to return, although his past few performances have been impressive. I’m certainly not having a go at the club for not signing him.

I’d go back to Ross’ comments regarding Leigh Griffiths, where he said if he became available we would be interested. I don’t for a minute believe we were…..

Edit the comments above, my memory is failing. It was in fact January I heard he was keen to return and had reached out, not the summer as I thought. I even pm’d another member on here at the time to say I’d heard that.

The second is around the criticism of Hibs for allegedly not approaching him when the only evidence, the interview I quoted, is that it was Scott's decision not to come.


And you are putting way too much on that.

It’s almost as if people use interviews to put across the story they want people to hear.

I’m making nothing up D, it’s not my style. Anything I ever post is because I heard it from people I trust. I was told in the summer that he was keen to return to us. My comments on this thread are based on that information, nothing to do with making up a dialogue to suit any view. Which in this case I’m unsure if I would have wanted him to return, although his past few performances have been impressive. I’m certainly not having a go at the club for not signing him.

I’d go back to Ross’ comments regarding Leigh Griffiths, where he said if he became available we would be interested. I don’t for a minute believe we were…..

Edit the comments above, my memory is failing. It was in fact January I heard he was keen to return and had reached out, not the summer as I thought. I even pm’d another member on here at the time to say I’d heard that.


This is probably why Scott could then sign a pre-contract with Aberdeen.

As far as I know, nothing has been written or said to counter what Brown said in March so what's the point even reading players' and managers' comments if we're just going to make up another dialogue to suit our preferred view? :dunno:

I would have been happy for him to come back, but he went elsewhere and I'm happy to believe the reasons he gave.

If he didn't have the chance to rejoin Hibs because we weren't interested, why say anything about us at all?


He’d be asked about Hibs. He needed some kind of answer.

I should have made it clear that I wasn't refering to your post when I talked about making dialogue up.

You had replied to a post which said "maybe Scott was only saying it for effect" or something along those lines.

I do pay attention to what you say because I know you have connections, but on this occasion, I prefer to believe the player. If we hadn't made an approach, there was no good reason to say that we had.

He'd risk Hibs refuting his remarks if he lied.

I believe what Scott said. Not much else to say about it now.

Slivka looked head and shoulders above brown in our 2-0 win 2 years ago, to the point brown tried to maim him. Almost like 1 match doesn't decide everything.

I did say when I posted my opinion on his performance for Aberdeen against us, that it was the only time I’d seen him this season. I can’t add to that. Maybe he’s been crap every other game, I’m not aware.
How anyone who witnessed the game though, couldn’t see that:

A) He is far from done
Or
B) He is better than anything we had on the pitch in either position he played...

....is beyond me.

And I’m not advocating his signing or questioning why we didn’t, I couldn’t care less about that part of the debate either.

I really don't, so take your personal jibe and shove it, clown. Pathetic I can't make one post in this thread without daft off topic pish like this.

The guy gave me one of the best days of my life in 2007. Not rating him as a player 14 years later is fine. I have nothing against him. I struggle to fawn over a Celtic legend who now plays for Aberdeen and has tried to injure multiple Hibs players. That's all.

Told you so! lol

Said it at the time and I’m still saying it now, we missed out on getting a a right quality player with bags and bags of experience.

He might not have the legs but he’s got the football brain and more importantly that leadership alongside a winning mentality.

Why oh why are we signing the likes of Gogic when we could have had Broony?
I’m away for a greet. 😪😪😪

Eh I don’t think you told me anything 😂, had a couple of good games last couple but was as bad as most in their 10 game winless run. I’m happy we never got him look forward not bad and he’s in the swan song stage of his career

Why would he not want to come back to Hibs? !

Maybe he’s read hibs.net and learned that every one of our players are *****, Jack Ross is clueless, recruitment is awful, the sound system is too loud, the pies are cauld, the ticket office are unhelpful, our sponsors put score updates for other teams they sponsor, we’re nae good at throw-ins, we were lucky to finish third and were pish in Europe, Ron the Con is going to turn us into an NFL team, our ticket system and turnstiles are lacking, our covid protocols are too loose, our covid protocols are too strict, no enough people have signed up to HSL, HSL isnae as good as hearts equivalent, people go for pishes before half time, the singing section is in the wrong place,

And although the seagull situation has improved, he thought f*** it I’ll give it a go at a sh*te team in Aberdeen.

I don’t think league position really dictates how good individual players in that team are. They’re behind us in the league cos Glass hasn’t managed to get a group of decent players playing well.

Lewis Ferguson, Ross McCrorie, Ryan Hedges are also in that Aberdeen team, that are behind us despite playing 2 games more. Good players.
