Wellfan1984 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Surely we could have got a better team than Thistle. Two Cup Semis and a top 6 finish, a decent EPL team might have fancied a go. All in all what a waste of time and money that game will be.. No one is forcing you to go. The match is about Craigan, not some chance to see some club from whereever who's fans have no idea who Craigan is. At least Thistle mean something to Craigan and his career as a footballer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postiejim Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Does anyone actually know how many OG,s the Craggs has scored I reckon he it must be double figures by now ,maybe 11 or 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually looking forward to seeing a testimonial that would appear to be about more than just being a moneyspinner. I'm sure he could have chosen a bigger side to play against than Thistle, but obviously chose them for a reason. I know personally that if I had played for two clubs in my sixteen year career, I'd jump at the chance of having both of them, and their supporters, play a part in my testimonial. A classy move by Craigan, and I'm sure it'll be a night to remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Fair play to Craigan. It says a lot about the man, choosing us as your opposition when he could have chased the big bucks. With regards to the people moaning about us being poor opposition, we could say the same if the roles were reversed and Craigan was still our player. But it's worth remembering that this isn't about Motherwell or Partick Thistle, it's about Steven Craigan. I'm sure we'll bring a decent enough crowd through, taking into account the fact that a lot of people are on holiday. Competitive games between the clubs have usually been high scoring, so hopefully we'll get a decent game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 it's against a team that are happy to turn up and don't need hotel and travel expenses covered. the NI select is a nice idea but it would be difficult to schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maplewell Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Has anybody kept a count on how many OG’s the big man has scored over the years? Way more than his actual goal count surely Whats the bet that he'll score an OG on Wednesday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_P Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I suppose in the mirth about his numerous oggies there is a question about how this game is going to shape up. I'm assuming that seeing as he's still playing - and arguably now playing for his place - it's going to be a serious friendly (if you can have such a thing) with no 45 minutes each team, scoring own goals for fun tomfoolery is it?

I'd imagine it'll be viewed as the next game in our pre-season schedule, and will be treated as such. We want to see our players continue to prepare for the start of the SPL season by playing well and beating Thistle. I don't expect that McCall will see it any differently. Of course it is a chance to thank Crags for his great service for Motherwell, and I don't anticipate many thunderous challenges! However it will be a normal friendly match in every way.

EightSixteen Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Has there been any word on concessions for kids and so forth? It's been confirmed as £5 for concessions (Under 16s and Over 60s). £10 for adults as previously posted by Finlay. It's a shame the club didn't post the confirmed pricing up as "News" on the fishal site (or update FB or Twitter). I hope that Craggs gets a good turnout despite the lack of PR the match has recieved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
