Kevin Thomson defends his mate Scott Brown

[Bonnyloyal]

Speaking on BBC Sportsound, he said: "Anyone can knock him but the reason he’s done so well is the reason there is so much animosity towards him from other fans.


"If you’re not big enough and brave enough handle Scott Brown winding you up then that’s on you.

"He does what he does and has had a brilliant career and continues to do and if ever you wanted a chance to knock him off his pedestal then this would be it and some of them still struggle.


"It’s not the way I was or what I would do but Scotty is his own person and gets to do what he wants to do.

"He’s had an unbelievable career that anyone in Scotland could only dream of.

"You need to be big enough and hard enough to deal with it. If you can’t deal with Scott Brown winding you up then that’s your problem.

"I played with and against Scott and he’s one of my good mates – I’d go to the gutter for him any day of the week and vice versa.

"I love him to bits and I’ve had to say that in front of 500 Rangers fans in a social club before and get booed but I won’t change for anyone and it’s the same for Scott.


"When we played in Old Firms against each other there was no banter - we want to war. When I played with him we went to war together.

"You would want him in the trenches with you and Aberdeen have landed on their feet getting Scott Brown.

"He’s been on one side of the Old Firm and one side doesn’t like him and the other love him."

 

[douzpwa]

Ffs he has had a protected career no wonder Brown gets away with so much?

 

[BWO]

Scott Brown isn’t the problem, Clancy is.

 

[BobbyShearer]

KT has never hidden his friendship with Brown which is fair enough and I agree to the extent of players shouldn’t buy his pish.

But diving to get a fellow professional sent off and then waving at him is the mark of a cun.t and something I think KT would have plenty to say about if his own side were on the receiving end of.

 

[si72]

Sorry Kevin but yer talking shite once again.

 

[Numans_Left_Peg]

Kent nutmegs Brown, beats him with skill and guile and just excellent footballing ability.

Brown, barges, pushes, sly kicks, blatant kicks, basically everything that anyone at any level can do.

At his peak he ran about a lot. He won things in a team that should be winning things given the disparity of resources and no Rangers for the bulk of it.

I know which type of player I prefer to watch.

 

[barneythebear]

Taking numerous dives to get players booked and influence the ref what has that got to do with anyone but the shithouse Lego muncher? Thomson letting himself down there backing his mate!

 

[Potnbear]

Winding up is fine, give it out, take it back but there's no denying that he's got through his career as a thug, he wasn't a hard man, just a cheating animal but he was a protected species and ppl like Thompson shouldn't forget that

 

[Hurleyreyes]

Future Rangers manager.

Apparantly!

 

[benfica65]

You must have loved his antics at Kents sending off.

You’re as bad as him!

 

[Rubyhardie]

Sometimes it’s better to say nothing

 

[wee_bear]

Would’ve had more respect for him if he pleaded the the 5th with that one. No excuse for that no Mark scumbags behaviour. We’ll have the last laugh on the clown again though this season.

 

[SW Bear]

I have not heard any rangers fans complaining about scott brown acting like Scott brown - they are complaining about clancy ignoring and facilitating it.

 

[monkey magic]

I've said it before. If Broon had signed for us, he would have spent most of the season in the stands after numerous red cards, then transferred to a low League division in England. He only had a " career " up here because he was at the Piggery. Over the top challenges, two-footed lunges were his calling card, and he got away with it for almost a decade.

 

[remembertheepoch]

The only thing that brown has got left is cheating and Scottish refs seem blind to it

 

[T WATP]

Scott Brown could have been a proper footballer, he had all the talent at Hibs but chose to become a thug. If he signed for us under Smith he would have been disciplined and his talent would’ve done his talking on the pitch instead of his elbows.

He’ll be remembered as the captain of the side who failed to get 10 in a row in the most advantageous circumstances ever awarded to either us or them.

%^*& him.

 

[seturdaysanny]

"It’s not the way I was or what I would do but Scotty is his own person and gets to do what he wants to do.

The only bit he got right

 

[wgodfrey]

So 'big and brave' that he can't drive the Sheep on from their position of mid-table mediocrity.

The Tims' weakest link as we eventually exposed.

Enough of the gushing tributes to him.

 

[Tino_Col]

Brown being a wee fanny is not unusual, unexpected or what anyone is irate about. A tremendous c*nt of a referee facilitating it all and being visibly giddy about it is what we are pissed off with.

 

[Pirlo]

“He does what he does”. And sails above the laws everyone else has to abide by because of who he is. Like KT and not at all surprised he’s again backing his mate, after all he backed that hatchet man at Hibs too, either way he’s talking bollocks.

 

[Bear_Bones]

I'd love to see Brown up against Souness in his prime. He'd have annihilated the prick.

Mate or not Kevin, his antics are an embarrassment and should be called out, along with the cheat Clancy who allows it.

 

[snoopyboymason]

Should have kept quiet

 

[Orange Peel]

Just %^*& up Kevin

 

[Lovenkrands]

Thomson gets on my nerves to be honest.

If it’s not Porteous he’s defending, it’s his cretin mate Brown.

Added to his cliche riddled co-commentary, I can do without him.

 

[IbroxForever]

Something about judge a person by the company they keep...

 

[Buffalobluebear]

Scott Brown is a Lego eating lady's front bottom

That’s the real truth about your pal, Kev

 

[chilebear]

Hes allowed to wind people up, thats the difference,

 

[Jjbscotty]

Aye nae bother Thomson.

 

[Pentasa]

If KT harbours any ambition to manage Rangers then he should maybe stop defending his mate in the media and just say nothing

 

[DoubleWhopper]

Thomson gets on my nerves to be honest.

If it’s not Porteous he’s defending, it’s his cretin mate Brown.

Added to his cliche riddled co-commentary, I can do without him.

Find him a tough listen on commentary

Constant sharp intakes of breath and shouts “goal!” whenever Rangers have an attempt that invariably doesn’t end up a goal

 

[Scrubs UK]

Kevin Thomson has been getting increasingly annoying recently.

Back your pal up all you want. Don't expect your opinion to be worth shit when it comes to Rangers going forward though.

 

[Sticky Fingers]

What can you say about that? That’s his pal and has been for a long time. I don’t have an issue with Thomson sticking up for his pal, it’s just that his pal is a rabid scumbag that we all hate!!

 

[Thasunke Witko]

Really respected KT before that pile of shite

 

[Prestwick_ Bear]

Broon is a prick.

End of.

 

[bLuE PirAtE]

Don't ever come back to Ibrox Kevin. Your comments are ridiculous.

 

[Funkhouser]

Thomson gets on my nerves to be honest.

If it’s not Porteous he’s defending, it’s his cretin mate Brown.

Added to his cliche riddled co-commentary, I can do without him.

Poakin' and proddan', weather at Harthull services et cetera.

 

[ChildOfGoth]

I’m more n more convinced KT is not for Rangers there is a clear cultural gap between this mentality and a Rangers mentality

 

[Carson1912]

Thomson gets on my nerves to be honest.

If it’s not Porteous he’s defending, it’s his cretin mate Brown.

Added to his cliche riddled co-commentary, I can do without him.

100 percent mate,I don't dislike him but he's not like us the fans who rangers means everything to us,ask yourself if Kevin didn't play for rangers would he really care much about rangers probably not same goes for many other ex players there views can be so out of touch with us the fans who live and breath rangers everyday

 

[John MacKenzie]

KT has gone down considerably in my come back to Gers thoughts.

 

[chosen few]

Loyalty towards an old friend is an admirable trait, but your friend is c##t Kevin.

 

[imager]

Sorry Kevin but yer talking shite once again.

no hes not, Brown does what he does because players fall for it, he targets those who he knows he can wind up, have you ever seen him try it on with Davis or Arfield?

 

[OohAhHuistra]

Meh, best pal sticks up for wanker best pal. Expected, he targets the players he knows will react also which is no surprise

 

[andy17x]

Thomson gets on my nerves to be honest.

If it’s not Porteous he’s defending, it’s his cretin mate Brown.

Added to his cliche riddled co-commentary, I can do without him.

I feel he says a lot sometimes, without actually saying anything.

Plus I can't read any quotes from him unless it's in his voice!

 

[trueblue77]

Trying way too hard to be liked by his "Hibees", their fans and ex players. Can't take to him at all.

 

[Cooper 11]

I've said it before. If Broon had signed for us, he would have spent most of the season in the stands after numerous red cards, then transferred to a low League division in England. He only had a " career " up here because he was at the Piggery. Over the top challenges, two-footed lunges were his calling card, and he got away with it for almost a decade.

If Brown had signed for us, Walter would not have stood for those classless antics and would have coached him into a better player.

Instead he signs for the Tims and Lennon moulds him into a version of himself.

We’ve had wind-up merchants play for us in the past and will have in the future. The difference with Brown is he lacks the intelligence to do it subtlety and plays to his gallery to make up for his lack of footballing talent.

He’s just a Lennon mark ii.

He gets to do what he wants to do.


Therein lies the problem.

 

[Carson1912]

Also why does he need to tell us this again He must mention it about 20 times a season on commentary how much s out brown is his mate and a great guy bla bla bla

 

[sofakineazy]

That's your opinion KT and you are welcome to it but not a single Rangers supporter will back you.

 

[Yer da]

Thomson is bang on the money here. The problem lies with the referees, not Scott Brown. He's been doing it for years and we absolutely lap it up when Alfie slaps him off the ball etc.

Far too many Rangers fans are obsessed with that clown and go into a fit of rage at the mention of his name or seeing his face. He's a pantomime villain with very average footballing capability.

 

[moondance]

That pish should stop any talk of Thomson being a future Rangers manager.
