ian1964 10,720 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 SCOTT BROWN slammed the ruling that will keep him out of next monthââ?¬â?¢s Old Firm title decider and insisted: Iââ?¬â?¢m being picked on. Bookings from LAST season mean the Celtic midfielder will miss the May 9 crunch. Thatââ?¬â?¢s left the Player of the Year nominee seething at the SFAââ?¬â?¢s disciplinary rules. Brown rapped: ââ?¬Å?Iââ?¬â?¢m being punished for last season. I feel thatââ?¬â?¢s wrong. If you look down in England if you go three or four months your record is wiped. ââ?¬Å?Some of the players in the Premiership have 11 yellow cards but they are suspended for just one game. ââ?¬Å?I knew I was close to a suspension so I was trying to take things a bit easier. ââ?¬Å?But I feel as though Iââ?¬â?¢ve cleaned up my act this season. ââ?¬Å?Iââ?¬â?¢ve not been banned before and for the position I play that is good going. Iââ?¬â?¢m getting punished worse than a lot of players. You calm down and youââ?¬â?¢re still getting punished. ââ?¬Å?Itââ?¬â?¢s not the fairest thing in the world at this stage of the season ââ?¬â? six bookings and a two match ban. Itââ?¬â?¢s a nightmare. ââ?¬Å?Itââ?¬â?¢s such a massive game as well. I donââ?¬â?¢t know if it will be a title decider but it will certainly go a long way to determining who wins the league. These are the games you want to be involved in.ââ?¬Â Brownââ?¬â?¢s two-game ban kicks in after Saturdayââ?¬â?¢s clash with Aberdeen at Parkhead. The 23-year-old was cautioned 14 times last season, compared with just the eight bookings heââ?¬â?¢s collected this year. Now he fears he will lose his place for the title run-in ââ?¬â? just like last year. Brown groaned: ââ?¬Å?If Iââ?¬â?¢m out of the team I might not get back in because Barry Robson or whoever might come in and do a great job. ââ?¬Å?It can be a double whammy because you can lose your place in the team.ââ?¬Â But Brown reckons Gordon Strachanââ?¬â?¢s squad is strong enough to cope without him. The former Hibs kid said: ââ?¬Å?The manager has some big players like Barry, Paul Hartley and Marc Crosas so we certainly have a big enough squad to cope. ââ?¬Å?Maybe Gary Caldwell can play there as well. ââ?¬Å?Well, Gary could go there I suppose! ââ?¬Å?Seriously, these are the games you want to play in.ââ?¬Â http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/article2381148.ece 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,601 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I actually believe he's correct. To get a 2 game ban for picking up 6 bookings in a season is ridiculous. Prior seasons shouldn't be carried forward. Time for a rule change. However perhaps Brown should have asked his team to try and implement this at the start of the season, and start complaining about the rules during it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, time for a rule change, however.....................GIRUY 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 A very strange rule to say the least. I don't even know if the SFA/SPL know how it works. That said, he's a right wee moaning cunt! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Ally 0 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Knew the rules at the start of the season. Did someone not mention we lost KT in similar circumstances before or is my memory playing tricks. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,720 Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 I'm sure he has something like 22 bookings in his last two seasons, and I have witnessed a lot of the time he gets away with some very crude challenges still 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,670 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Knew the rules at the start of the season. Did someone not mention we lost KT in similar circumstances before or is my memory playing tricks. We lost KT for BOTH OF games last season at the Piggery through suspension. Everyone knows the rules so Broon gets absolutely nae sympathy as far as I'm concerned 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
