irnbruman Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Funny how Scotland's decent results tended to coincide with when Broon was in the team . Look at last campaign - excellent start when he returned to the team , then he was sorely missed in Slovenia. I was chatting to Stephen Crainey a while back and he was bigging up Broon as a great player to play with - never liked playing against him but he pointed out what a great player he was when his team were in possession. You just have to watch how he's always the man available for a pass and then combative in defence (albeit sometimes a wee bit too combative). I think he will be sorely missed - especially alongside Armstrong in the middle . My best memory of him was passing the Scotland squad at baggage reclaim in Dublin Airport - I asked Broon if he'd smile for a photo - then comes a wee pyscopathic grin.

Mox Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Brown has done ok for Scotland, but as with most of the players of his generation, he failed to get us to a major tournament and that will be his and his generations legacy. It's time to move on from him and a number of other players and try to build a new team that can achieve something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrisandmoo Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Will be sorely missed, struggled last campaign when he wasnt playing. Performances lifted massively when he was back in. Lets use it as an opportunity to bring fresh players into the centre. Please not Darren Fletcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a bizarre statement. That’s mind reading stuff! Unless you know otherwise of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, just assuming based on the fact he has never been called up by England and has only ever accepted a hand full of call up's to us over the years (I am sure he was called up to a youth squad a good 2/3 years ago) and from what MacKay said before the Dutch game about how he knocked back a international call up because he wants to concentrate on his club career at the moment. Who know's what his reason's are, but the simple answer could simply be that (if he wanted to play for England, I am sure he would have been in their set up long by now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think prior to this he wasn’t raising any eyebrows which will more likely explain why he’s not been called up to anyone in the past.
