Anton Ferdinand

[Dare]

Hope big Anton does well for us - think it may be a big ask tonight given he hasn’t had much game time. Hopefully it will be OK !

Fair to say it was an ‘OK’ decision.

Could try the match day thread.

Oi!!! I'm an old geezer, give me a break.

All I do five days a week is sit in front of two Computer screens...and I still can't do the link

Done well tonight. Kept it simple and safe.

Strolled it. And Baird looked really good alongside him. Early days, and easy to be motivated for a game like that, but could be a fantastic addition.

[aldo_j]

He never once went to ground. Quality.

[TediousTom]

Big fellah strolled the game.  Great performance from oor Anton, already he is one of our own.

Welcome Anton Ferdinand, welcome indeed.

[scrappy coco]

Can you imagine how good he'll be when he's fully match fit...........Superb signing..

[SaintGlenburn]

Literally strolled tonight. Like codfish mentioned. Bairdy was much better along side him.

[Danny]

My fears were unfounded Pure class Anton

[shull]

Anton was immense.

[ged62]

He was in charge at the back, could see he was knackered when he went off, Baird needs someone like him beside him.

[Isle Of Bute Saint]

Brilliant big man looked as if he has been with us a while. 

[Hendo]

He was great, have to admit I feared the worst when he went off and we had a makeshift defence for the last 20 minutes, but they stood up well to the challenge. It's amazing what a bit of organisation can do.

This^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I feared the worst as it looked like Anton was marshalling and filling in the gaps when they appeared. Well done to the lads for finishing his good work.

Finally replaced Harry Davis. Excellent performance.

Indeed.

Even better is that The Green Bigot Hordes attendance last night will have contributed to his wages for the year.

There was one moment just before he went off where Celtic cut through our defence with a nice through ball and I think everyone held their breath. Ferdinand just barrelled in from seemingly nowhere to get rid. Brilliant reading of the game.

He was superb last night and we've managed a real coup to get him here for the rest of the season. From minute one, he was talking to Jack Baird and as we saw Davis do so often, proved a calming influence on Baird who did not have a single brain freeze moment or put a foot out of place last night. Even when Anton went off, Jack was cool as a cucumber.

[Kemp]

No doubt about it, we would never have got a point last night without Ferdinand.

Great that Kearney identified the lack of "calming influence" at the back and acted so quickly.

Paul McGinn was great last night as well I thought.

Hodson and Cammy Smith were superb as well.

Fantastic attitude and very sincere. Can’t ask for more and he feels that he can get better. This might be the best bit of business we have done for a long time. No billy big time attitude and a work ethic very much in line with what we want to see as supporters. Welcome home big man!

Yep, nice to finally get the marquee signing!

It would be easier and quicker to say who wasn't.
