Das Rave Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Chris Millar has rejected the offer of a 2 year extension to his contract, and plans to further his career in Australia. I would like to wish him all the best and thank him for the past 4 years. I think has came on vastly in the time he has been with us, and although not the most skillful player, always gave 100% when he played Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstar101 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 I am always quick enough to discuss what I see as Millar's shortcomings, but have also highlighted what I like about him. He has been a good player for us and I wish him well in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 He'll be impossible to replace. All the best Midge - he's been a brilliant player, and quite a character, for us over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, hopefully, Croft stays, then that statement is a bit much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Maybe he rejected the two year deal because he knew he'd be second string to Croft... Let's hope so! All the best Midge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 If, hopefully, Croft stays, then that statement is a bit much He will be though. You need more than one person for each position and, for our budget, I don't see too many better out there at the moment. He's also versatile and well liked in the changing room. I don't think I've ever seen a player work quite as hard as what he's done for us either. Each to their own, but I think we'll see how much we do miss him next season.

Broon Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Wish him well. He's been a good player for us. Never quite reached his potential as I firmly believe he's got enough ability to play at the highest level but his contribution in the final third never matched his desire and ability.

541ntees Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 i love wee midgie but if everyone is fit then i struggle to find a place for him, trouble is we never have everyone fit and with his versatility he always gets in the team and does a great job wherever he is asked to play. think mymrs will miss him more than me tho. is this news definite?

SingaporeSaint Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Was a great signing for us. Spoke to him in the 208 after the 1st Divison Championship celebrations against Morton, a really sound guy. All the best in his new pursuits. Greenock to Australia, sounds like days of old but at least going on his own terms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop being difficult for the sake of being difficult :-P I'm not...I agree with what you have said. We need a midfielder that will contribute more goals though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Bar Toilet Attendant Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Will be a big loss. You don't really notice him when he plays but you always notice when he doesn't play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt Col Kojak Slaphead III Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Be interesting to see his opinion if we do happen to qualify for Europe, but regardless he will be missed by me if he goes, never anything short of 100% from him every time he stepped onto the pitch over the last 4 years, never the most skillful player and his delivery for a wide player at times left a little to be desired but I never once had a problem with him in the team. If he chooses to move on, then I for one will wish him good luck. Genuinely nice guy and very well liked in the dressing room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garydavidson Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Is this a cost cutting exercise by the wee guy? Will save a fortune on sun beds. Great player, great work ethic just often let down with his final product. Was never one to shy away though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilgour Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Never a huge fan although I have always stuck up for him.Gets about the park really well,his crossing is average and goals a collectors item.At least twice I have been at McD and heard him being booed ON,which is patently wrong.Thanks for your time wee man and all the best "down under" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

templeofsaints Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Best of luck to him - always been a reliable unsung player. Although if he does a grainger and suddenly signs for another SPL club I reserve the right to withdraw my good wishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
