Galway United have terminated the contract, with immediate effect, of striker Eric Lavine following an internal disciplinary process.... www.galwayunitedfc.ie
well it was coming from what ive been reading on the posts here - and from what ive seen of him so far this season - we are probably better off without him, if hes not up to it
what happened there lads?
he thinks everyone is to blame except for himself. He should take a long hard look at himself as people within the club have bent over backwards for him but he just kept on looking after no 1. Anyone got damos number could be a place for him after the window.
Come on home LOOPING !!!
A highly strung individual, who has a inflated sense of his own self-worth, and has issues with being told what to do by management ?
Who, Eric or Damo? or both?Quote:

Damo is French and can accordingly be excused such traits. I don't know what happened with Eric, but he's no loss as regards playing ability at this stage of his career anyway. Lost what pace he had and can't score.
score goals I take it you mean JW?;)
PD/ He might join up with the niteowls now, not much training involved and no travelling, well only to mervue!!:D
As for Damo, when he was here we didnt train enough for the guy and we were almost guaranteed goals in every match he played in wether he was scoring or setting them up, great player.
Damo's a great finisher, very intelligent player, easily a good addition if we could get him. As for Eric, yeah: I believe that while his scoring rate on the pitch was akin to Chelsea's Jeremy, his scoring rate off it was more like that of Ron Jeremy :)
10/10 Jw:d
The Niteowls only want committed players, like we have in our current squad.
There is no room for chancers and wasters who are unreliable and let their teammates down.
I see that Eric has had a go at GUFC today in the Sentinel. He says that the way he was treated was "a disgrace" and that he was "pleased to be gone from the club if that is the way they are going to run things".
The article omitted to include the fact that this is the second club in less than a year that the named player has been booted out an EL club for disciplinary reasons.
Cheerio, Eric. Your time is up.
after all that was done for him someone should ask him what is a disgrace "organising a secure job for him" plus a hell of a lot more i could put down here but wont. Who does he think he is fooling he was going to be included in the squad last saturday and would have started if he didnt behave like a 3 year old at training tuesday night.
Any respect for him is gone nowas a player and i hope all gufcfans let him know that and PD its actually the third club as he had a bust up along the same lines with Don in Longford wher he abused all and sundry.
it s not completlywrong what u said but i dont get it about the " has issues with being told what to do by management ? " what do u mean i only had pbs in this club with tony mannion s views of soccer wish were radicaly opposite mine but that s it , i never had any issues with anybody being part of the galway managementQuote:

Its about time eric has gone(he has burnt to may bridges in my view)
No loss to us as he hasnt played a decent game for the club in a while
Just imagine if we held onto Damo.
Damo and Murphy up front what a partnership that would be
Well unforunately trainee i wouldn't say Murphy will be up front again for a while.IMO that is still his best posiition but we'll see how we fare.Eric's a clown and gufct i for one won't be long letting him know it should he cross GUFC's path again.Good to see we're getting rid of the players with no pride or interest in UTD.
So Damo are you on your way back?:)
I agree with you both barry and David O D should be kept upfront the both played well last saturdayQuote:

Considering we had won once in 7 games and were abismal against Athlone i wouldn't bother changing the team tbh.
Mixie will probably struggle to get into central midfield and im not too sure about Billy.
I think i'd just leave it.
best team performance of the season last saturday so barring injuries it would be madness to drop anyone.
so where's Eric off to now?

I'll bet he's wishing he sat out his fat contract at Longford right about now.....
Looks unlikely with the coveted number 9 jersey secured!Quote:

Any names being talked about for a striker in the transfer window
In fairness to O'Dowd, his attitude has always been excellent and he has always given 100% for GUFC, even though he is not a prolific scorer.

Mr Njitap doesn't have a bad scoring record all the same.... :rolleyes:
Eric isn't a great loss really, passed it at this stage - I always thought Luther was the best of our Carribbean friends, closely followe by Sue-Ellen :p
Don't think he had much choice in the end.Quote:

what is he saying? Is it the same rant that was on the sentinel yesterday?
Guff about not going to training because he had to mind his son. Bizarrely, this doesn't affect Alan Gough, who also has children, nor has it affected any other player in the history of the club.
Also complains about having training the morning after the ball, because everyone would be locked (according to Eric) and therefore it would be pointless. Eric didn't bother going.
Loads of other laughable rubbish about texts from Lal, etc.
Fair play to Keith Finnegan, who gave him a grilling about not attending training and the five-step disciplinary process which the club adhered to.
sad he brought his son into it as anyone that knows the true story will know that they are loads of people who would mind him. I missed the interview but what was the point of Eric spouting all this rubbish as everyone knows he has no one to blame only himself.
didnt hear the interview but have been told he has let himself down with it - and turned a lot of indifferent people against him on the radio
Apparently he contacted us (ATFC, not the Cootes :p ) andQuote:

We definately need someone who can put the ball in the net.
Some of the open goal misses against Monaghan were shocking!
God help both yer club and women !!:D
I suppose Eric and Robert Forde will be training hard together back in Galway.
