Current Player #3 Ciaron Brown

I know we are collectively playing terrible at the moment, but Brown's form appears to have fallen off a cliff in recent weeks. He was the best of a bad bunch last season, but now is just one of the bunch!!
 
He'll probably play outstandingly for NI, as he has done in the past.
Which tells its own story.

Why you all hating on brown ur acting like he caused 5 goals against Bolton not one of them goals he caused
 
This is why White won’t play for England. Who wants to go through all the rigmarole of getting together, training when you know you’ll be getting 10 minutes - or in Browns case, not at all - a likely flight somewhere, risking an injury that will scupper your participation in the most exciting part of your clubs season etc.

I’m not a fan of international football qualification or friendles, never have been. I’ll watch the tournaments but that’s about it. These last two games for England, I’ve been in, sat at home but have watched a combined 10 minutes and that was the last 10 minutes of the Brazil game. Didn’t even turn the TV on last night. It’s no more than a pre season kick about when you very often get 10 changes by the hour.

I don’t blame White one bit, I’d much rather be sat on a beach in Dubai with my wife than sat on a bench in London. If I was Brown I’d retire last night too, thanks but no thanks when he’s next called up. Des should be fuming at NI too, sending his man on a wild goose chase like that. Can you imagine Ferguson if that happened - but it’s good management and proper care and welfare for your player.

A lot of Man U fans like yourself don't like international football.

I’m not sure if Ferguson would be too bothered considering he has been retired for years now Baldy.

Good change of training scenery. Didn't get tired or injured. Will probably come back invigorated. Alternative view...
 
Having watched both games, I’m sure he can’t wait to get back.
 
If you are Ciaron Brown, a lower league footballer who came from non league, the chance to play international football must be quite a buzz? He isn't going to get back in the team by throwing a strop, if he gets his head down then maybe he does. Not everyone is a soulless money grabbing robot like Baldy and Ben White, for a lot of us playing for our national teams would be something to cherish and be proud of, something you dream of as a kid, so why turn it down? White has also only turned down being in the England squad because he had a falling out with Steve Holland.

I’m no fan of Manchester United but it’s understandable why their fans dislike England. Especially in that supposed golden era their players were figures of hate - Beckham hanging from a noose, Neville’s etc. England were near to winning absolutely nothing yet the best player in the country at the time, Scholes, was shoe horned in around Gerrard and Lampard. Carrick, the best forward passer of a football England had at the time, didn’t get a kick.

It’s got a bit better since but I suppose their fans don’t forget and I think that’s why there’s this perception they hate England. Me ? I don’t hate England but I find it difficult to have any real affinity with the national team. You hope they win a tournament but I won’t be losing any sleep if we don’t in my lifetime.
