i can agree to disagree with you, brown has good leadership skills and does bring quite a bit to both Wellington and NZ, but based on football skills alone I believe he is readily interchangable with someone like Chris James from the hulking might of a club that is Barnet. Sadly, some clown from the NZFC is going instead.

Lol an ordinary run of the mill a-league player is probably better than half your squad, you are an idiot saying he deserved it, I really like Brown, he adds alot to the Nix squad and is a good player for your NT.

Good. Brown deserved it, as he did it during an unnecessary foul. He is a donkey with the touch of an elephant, and gives away fouls like candy at a lolly scramble.

Hopefully this will see Clapham move closer to the bench, as I believe Brown is an ordinary run-of-the-mill A-League player somewhat lacking in self discipline.

Rant finished.

you got to feel for Timmy...

imagine how the poor bugger must feel....

Get stuffed. That's an insult to NZers (no I'm not one).

What NZ are is a good friend, and as such I'm sure we would all like to see them do well (so long as we're not playing them :D).

Good luck NZ!

Hopefully he makes a full recovery in time.. I'm not sure he will gathering from that info but I rate tim brown for the all whites and he was definitely one of the better players on the field that day.

SC03... New zealands was apparently governed at sydney at one point in time but regardless of that they can do fine by themselves and I'll be supporting them just as I did when they competed at the confeds cup last year (though it wasn't the best showing e.g their first game :P)

Good luck boys!!! Browns attacking potential was evident in the a-league this year, they'll need him in the WC for sure.

It's good that 442 are running these stories. NZ is Australia's little brother (should be a state of Australia in my opinion) and hopefully people in Australia will take joy from watching the All Whites as well as Socceroos at the World Cup.

Not exactly one of the world's top players in terms of natural skill, but you won't find a more dedicated player anywhere, for club or country. Hope he makes it.


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Injured Brown To Get His Chances?
INJURED All Whites midfielder Tim Brown will be given all the time possible to recover from surgery and to take his place at the World Cup, coach Ricki Herbert promised today.

Have your say.
