P45 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Kinda disappointed about Craigen tbh. He wasn't fantastic but he gave his all. If we release Craigen and keep Welsh I'll be pissed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Meh the only real concern is the lack of Welsh in the list of those released. Archie's ruthless decisions in the past such as Craig, Dowie and Mair have been largely justified and turned out for the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie's ruthless decisions in the past such as Craig, Dowie and Mair have been largely justified and turned out for the best. This. The list is shorter than expected. That suggests that the manager has offered deals to the other players, including Welsh and those in the development squad, who are out of contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Surprised that Craigen's away but not too disappointed. Although, he wasn't the greatest player, he was a wee cutie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Surprised but not heavily disappointed to see Craigen on the list. Bit like Balatoni he came onto a game last 1/3 of this season but wouldn't want him as more than back up at this level and can't cover the same number of positions as Elliott. The Hibs pre-contract rumour might be true, and known internally for ages hence no deal ever offered but if so why no Higgy, Fox etc on that list if they've also intimated they're off? I'm hoping it means we have a replacement already coming in (not Welsh). Craigen seems reasonably intelligent for a footballer (faint praise etc) so I think he'll have something agreed elsewhere. BRE was a low-risk gamble who never quite made it, and the others are just youths that didn't make the grade. Surprised Welsh hasn't been taken out and shot though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 'N Yellow Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 The fact Welsh isn't listed is surprising. With all this talk of lower crowds and tight budget I didn't think we could hold on to a guy that's made a couple sub appearances in a season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Briggs Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 it might be that craigen has been released because he made it clear he was going to hibs Fox, O'Donnell, BRE, Craigen, Higginbotham and Lawless are all free agents after Saturday and don't need to be "released". Craigen's and BRE's inclusion on the list just confirms that they have not been offered deals. They won't be in the squad on Saturday and can leave a few days early. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably you are using the American version of 'pissed', otherwise it sounds like you'll be celebrating. Or is the correct usage for that, 'pished'? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like him to stay if he gets new legs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cilitbang Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 If Craigen is off to Hibs, we'll just swap them for Scott Allan, s'fine! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Jag Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 If Craigen is off to Hibs, we'll just swap them for Scott Allan, s'fine! After watching him last night - no thanks. He was woeful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cilitbang Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) After watching him last night - no thanks. He was woeful. I thought he was one of the few positives in the Hibs team, rarely lost possession and spread the ball around well + really good delivery from corners whilst being pelted with paper etc. Would take him over Fraser, Fraser's performances as of late merit being branded woeful.

Slacker Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 So Higgy probably has been offered a new deal then? After his reaction on Saturday I don't think he's accepting it, but at least we tried? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednyella Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Definitely disappointed in Craigen being released, especially if Welsh is staying on. Agree with previous comments along same lines. Craigen may lack that extra quality of one or two players we have but he's a top quality professional who worked his arse off for us the last three years. I wish him the very best. Plus that goal V Morton will never be forgotten! :-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
