He’s our captain as he was at Middlesbrough last season. For me he shouldn’t be getting sent off whether frustrated or not.

Morse at Boro had 4 goes at AB after the 4th he reacted(who wouldn't) North End appealed and despite Sky,Quest and the BBC defending him the faceless clowns at the EFL backed the feckless referee who failed to do his job on several counts.

Yeah the Middlesbrough one was schoolboy stuff as well. Of course the Boro player was a disgrace but you just don't get played like that.

Yesterday I found really strange that he got in the melee, just pull Seany away from the trouble, particularly when you are a) on a yellow and b) not an automatic starter any more.

He is a player with talent and can be really good on his day but it's been a torrid few years for him now. I'm just a bit sick of him to be honest and wonder if he isn't an option to cash in on.

He would have but got ragged around his neck from behind.Would you not react?

It was stupidity from Browne yesterday, not for the first time as captain when his manager is up against it.

However, there were bigger problems on the pitch than him.

As a side note, the criticism of DJ on this thread sums up this season for me. A few weeks ago everyone was raving about him and talking about our midfield as an embarrassment of riches.

Now DJ is garbage. The difference? He was playing more advanced when he was playing well. Now he has been pushed further back. Who’s fault is that? The manager.

How do you know that's what he is being told? Players play on instinct not instruction.

He ran 20 yards from the edge of our box to be involved in something that weren’t that bad! Your telling me that’s split second? Calculated decision absolute stupid from him!

He ran over to stick up for his team mate as a captain should.

There’s your answer.

He’s made a split second decision to get involved rightly or wrongly.

If you seriously think he’s done that to use your phrase “con” the fans to think he gives a toss you need to give your head a wobble.

I will. Anybody who gets triggered when they see a footballer post a picture of a meal on social media need to get a grip and basically need to grow the fuck up. There are a lot more things to be angry about in life than that. Seriously.

Point taken sorry for any offence caused .

You’re right.. in retrospect , his anger wasn’t mad

The anger was real .. just totally not needed .. at that point.. his lack of self control has cost him and the club dearly especially with Liverpool coming up on Wednesday. He will be suspended for dragging back a player when the run was covered by SVB and for jumping in in the 97th minute melee. I’ll apologise for saying it was ‘faux’ but not for calling him out as ‘silly’

Yeah, but he kicked out. As soon as you do that, you lose the moral high ground. I know the player was playing for him to get sent off, you just have to be smarter.

I thought he was fine yesterday.

1st booking was completely clueless & 2nd (without seeing it back) I thought he was unlucky to be picked out from a mass melee.

Their No 2 wasn’t even booked, Maguire was only booked for moaning & they were the 2 that started it.

We had a lot of issues yesterday but Browne wasn’t really one of them.

Maguire and their fellow were having a tussle and then Browne came charging in at their lad and the melee followed. Without Browne’s brainless intervention, there would have been no melee and no cards.
 
Browne wouldn't be anywhere near the starting XI for me, he's bang average and have been saying such for many a year, but he wasn't actually that bad on Saturday... Which probably shows how bad the others were.

As for being captain? Never should have been and never would be again if I was in charge. Neil seemed to give it him to almost make a point when he'd suffered some abuse a few years back and it was a 'red flag' to me about Frankie that he didn't appoint his own captain after taking over.

The 2 main culprits in the aftermath of the initial challenge where Husband who had hold of Browne around the throat and Browne himself so probably right they both got yellows. You could say Husband knew what he was doing....

Also Browne was the first one to get involved other than Maguire and whoever was involved in the initial incident.

He was yesterday with Earl

With Earl ?
Can’t agree, granted it’s all about opinions.

Earl was targeted for his lack of defending ability. Add to that he is slow on the turn and rarely goes on the outside of his man means , in my opinion , he’s no left wing back. He can’t defend meaning he’s no full back and suggestions that he’s a centre half are ludicrous. I get that he’s a local lad and it would be great for him to shine but he’s a mediocre player at this level.
 
Think Browney has been playing slightly better and is the only player who actually looked to play forward and make something happen on Saturday.

Think he is suffering as many players are from the system, can't play forward if there's no one to give it to.

Captain he is not.

He for me was the only one on Saturday who showed any passion.
