santaponsasaint Posted September 17, 2018 Report Posted September 17, 2018 Thought he was excellent Fri night. Def had a calming effect on Bairdy as did Harry Davis last year. Could be a great signing. Quote
The Original 59er Posted September 17, 2018 Report Posted September 17, 2018 I will add my tuppence worth. I remember Jim Clunie coming back to the club and whilst he wasn't as good as his first stint he added that bit of dependable stability at the back Anton did the same on Friday. If he stays fit, then a great addition to the squad Quote
David Mc Posted September 17, 2018 Report Posted September 17, 2018 Agreed. Let’s hope that Anton is ok to play on plastic pitches,Manager’s interview would suggest he will be playing on Saturday. Quote
Drew Posted September 17, 2018 Report Posted September 17, 2018 An interview with Ferdinand at the weekend confirms that it was OK who made the initial approach, and seems to have utilised a few contacts. All good. Quote

Eric Arthur Blair Posted September 17, 2018 Report Posted September 17, 2018 Anton makes Cunto's Team of the Week. Quote
Buddie-Boy Posted September 17, 2018 Report Posted September 17, 2018 Surprised he picked a St. Mirren player - what will his best mate Stubbsy have to say about that ?! Quote
Wendy Saintss Posted September 17, 2018 Report Posted September 17, 2018 An interview with Ferdinand at the weekend confirms that it was OK who made the initial approach, and seems to have utilised a few contacts. All good.Does it matter who made the initial approach? Quote
Drew Posted September 17, 2018 Report Posted September 17, 2018 28 minutes ago, Wendy Saintss said: Does it matter who made the initial approach? Yes. It does. It demonstrates that our new manager was very quick off the mark to strengthen in a key area. Stop trying to shit-stir, Andy. I wasn't. Quote

Thought he just ok , did what he's there to do. Thought there were a good few Saints players who had a better game than Brown, but I'm biased i suppose. Quote

Magic Monkey Posted September 17, 2018 Report Posted September 17, 2018 Yep, Brown was excellent on Friday night, sadly. He was rattled by Mullen's running, and raised his spoilery game accordingly. I'd take him, or similar, in my team every day of the week. Quote

I'm sure that those who abuse him secretly like him. Brown held them together. As full of energy as I've seen him of late. Great positioning. excellent short passing and a great ball winner. Watch his little nudges, within the law but so well timed to give him an advantage. Playing against him must have been an education. Panto Villain. He is that and more, A very good player. Quote
linwood buddie Posted September 17, 2018 Report Posted September 17, 2018 Brown is a great domestic player , and a good leader , tend to agree with other posters that he's not as effective in the European games now . In saying that I would also want him at my club in a heartbeat. Quote
W6Saint Posted September 17, 2018 Report Posted September 17, 2018 Agree with the above sentiments. If you were to pick the £8M man on the park it most likely wouldn’t have been Edouard, or any of Celtic’s other players - all their mob except Brown looked bang average, it really is hard to believe Boyata played in a World Cup Semi this summer! I really think we’d have nicked all 3 points if not for Brown - who seemed to be everywhere, unfortunately. I’ve still not gotten over how well disciplined and energetic our performance was. Quote

He never stopped and covered every blade of grass. Even got in the way of a goal bound shot at one point. Quote

Thought Baird had his best game this season, as did McGinn, Hodson with Cammy Smith and the rest all showing up well. Quote

Eric Arthur Blair Posted September 18, 2018 Report Posted September 18, 2018 Anton also makes the SPFL Team of the Week. Quote
Magic Monkey Posted September 18, 2018 Report Posted September 18, 2018 I still can't believe we've signed him, tbh. It all happened so fast ahead of the game, it really hadn't sunk in. Then I spent a while thinking it was too good to be true and his legs would have gone or something. But here he is. What an impact he's made already. Here's hoping we can add a bit more quality at the other end of the park and we could be onto something here. Quote
