Allan Heron Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Seems craigan has chosen us for his testimonial. Fir Park Wed 13th July Hereeeeeeee! Not a great crowd-puller, it has to be acknowledged. Won't be able to manage as I'll be on holiday. I'm sure others will be in the same boat. Not me, though - I'll be in a plane.

jaggy Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 well done to Stephen, he could have gone for a big crowd puller but instead chose his only other senior side. I hope the Jags support get out & support him as he was a great player during his time for us :clapping: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Well done to him. I'd certainly have gone to that, but I'll be far, far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Dave Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 i loved big stevie at firhill i will go along and show my support and show that we jags never forget Yes, good for him! I'll go to this too. He seems to be quite fond of us. Worth a trip to Well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I hope enough of us can make it along. Of all the players that have left us in recent years I think we missed Stephen the most. He should never have gone into that first SPL season on a single year contract. All water under the bridge but he could and should have been a Jags legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vom Itorium Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Looks like this game has been badly timed with many folk being away on holidays. Will try and head through for this one I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Being as far away as I am will not stop me making a contribution to one of the finest Jags of the new century. Paypal works well where I am, and I'll certainly be gladly contributing towards a fine footballer, a fine professional, an exemplary person, and a superb Jags man. By now, I've even forgiven him his penalty miss at the tattiedome........................... This is a one of those rare testimonials that is thoroughly merited. Just look at which club he has chosen to support him!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodMcDonaldJag Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Ill be there to thank Stevie for his contribution to the best Jags defence ive seen in my life. Was broken hearted the day he left. Archibald Shaggy Craigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 John Lambie Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Nice of him to want to play us, but I doubt we'll take many fans & doubt that Motherwell will have many fans their either. A nice gesture as he's unlikely to make much out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice gesture as he's unlikely to make much out of it. Agreed, but I think that if there's a fairly low crowd it'll be due to the timing. A lot of people away on holiday then. If I was here I'd definitely have gone along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archibald Shaggy Craigan I once heard McCall say that had it not been that Collins was going to take over from Lambie, the likes of Craigan, Burns, Hardie and Archie would never have left.

Tom Stronach Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 I once heard McCall say that had it not been that Collins was going to take over from Lambie, the likes of Craigan, Burns, Hardie and Archie would never have left. I've heard that a few times and I tend to believe it. Appointing Collins was the biggest mistake our board made in my time as fan in my opinion. We have never really recovered from that season. Back on topic, I'll try and make it along to this game. Craigan was one my favourite Thistle players ever. Two of my best memories of him playing for us were: - When he scored in the last minute of the game we recieved the 2nd Division trophy and he ran off like a lunatic towards the stand where all his family were. - Making a fool of an SPL referee who penalised him for jumping for a ball with his arms outstretched. Craigan lept up and down with his arms by his side a few times directly in front of him. He couldn't hide his delight live on radio when we scored a last minute penalty against Livingston to keep our title challenge with St Johnstone going which showed how much the club means to him. I hope he makes a few quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't explain why Craigan, Burns, Hardie and Archie were all out of contract. The Collins appointment was just a side issue. Had Lambie/the Board put them on even two year contracts at the start of their last season they would undoubtedly have been Jags players during the Collins/Britton/Whyte season.

honved Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I think I'll be going to Fir Park for this. Along with Paul Deas, one of my favourite Jags defenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
