Ever get the feelin' you have been cheated?
Stop banging on about Sean Francis- the first games he played, he was crap, we paid 10000 for him and got none of it back(indirectly yes by him scoring goals), get a grip yee are like auld men nostalging over the good old days, whenever the hell they were, hes gone and yes he was good but to listen to yee ye would think he was De Stefano himself!
Just to point out that Baker got as many goals this past season as Francis got the season before. He did a job for us and fair play to him but he wasn't/isn't irreplaceable
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
lads
get a grip sean francis despite how many goals he got did not recoup the 10000 yoyos we paid for him.he may have scored more goals then any1 else but then again wasnt that his job
Copperknob!!!
Enda M what are you talking about. Sean Francis was a great player..all de vital goals he scored
we are going up
Compared to how many starts that Seanie got? I don't want to make it a bigger issue than it is, but people writing him off is just ridiculous. We would've had a far better goals for record last season with him in the team (especially playing off someone like baker). Seanie was a goal scorer, just the same as Myler, but goal scorers can't score if they're not bloody played.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
If right was right, Eric Lavine should have either walked before Francis or with him. Lavine didn't get first team football for ages, and he sat on his arse collecting his wages. Francis asked for a transfer. I wouldn't consider Baker's scoring run as a reason for Francis bashers to justify Francis' move because Baker and Francis could have been the rightful partnership up front. credit to an honest man who did an honest job unlike that pretender Lavine who is up the town supporters ass. Have we recouped the wages we paid Lavine?
Whats that guys net contribution to LTFC.

further to that. Baker scored 14 odd goals.
would have been nice if we didn't witness the countless acts of petulance, the care Matthews has to take of him and the fact he went missing in the latter of the season.
Take his form after his hattrick... poor...

In a season where we didnt score goals at all, Bakers 14 was fairly impressive, added to the fact that he is a constant threat and is one of the few who likes to run at defences. I would love to have seen baker and Francis together, Seanie was fantastic but hes gone and get over it. People love t knock Dessie, but for my money, hes oodles of talent and as for petulence if its only with opposing fans then Im happy. givehim a break he was a great addition to the squad, take away that hattrick and you are still left with 11 goals and if anybody else had scored them we'd be raving about them.
Xlex lets face it your talking through the longford town supporters ass.Maybe you werent in Ballybofey a couple of years ago when he scored possibly the best and certainly the most important goal ever that kept us in the league.We have more than recouped the wages for him he is a provider of goals and his workrate is phenominal.Baker should stick to crusting that bread and sean FANcis was the benefactor of such excellent service by Eric.
Yes Harry you are right as usual

what's the point. You either believe he's doing enough or you don't. This season was probably his most consistant so I'm hardly justifying my comments. What I meant about his net contribution was that since he joined us, how much of that time has he been ill prepared to play ball, how much time did he spend acting the git as oppossed to giving it the best for LTFC. His goal in Ballybofey was probably during one of those periods. That's all. Do you think it's unfair to remember that as a striker he wouldn't hit a barndoor with a shovel?
Baker going forward is a gem, its the baker, who doesn't workhard when things aren't going his way. He could have had 20 goals had he had a good full season but he lived of the hattrick and his end of season was very poor.

Exactly, no player is irreplaceable(bar Dillo), but he did well. It sounds to me that Eric's committment is now being called into question. I'm a big Eric fan based solely on the effort he gives every game, hes past his best but was still one of our most important players last season giving it his all. I have however, doubts about Baker's long term commitment, jumping around like your off your head for the club after winning the cup isn't commitment. As for Sean Francis personally for himself he was right to transfer, but did no one ever tell him when you are not getting playing you fight even harder for your place and eventually it will come up and then you can easily prove your worth. The bottom line is that is easy to knock Eric cos Francis is gone, and Baker scored goals. P.s Eric is not a striker he is a forward, which is different altogether. Even years ago when he was at his peak he was still in single digit figures.As already stated we would not have premier division status let alone two cups without him.
Exactly my point Flea.
LOL, so eric deserves the credit for the two cup wins and Seanie deserves nothing. I think Keegan should get a 5 year contract so he can fleece the club on the basis of one goal - who cares about how shíte he is for all but a few weeks of the season...
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Stop and read the line again. If eric hadn't scored in Ballybofey we would have been relegated thereby the 'good' team disbanding, i.e a crap team we thus would have thereby incapable of winning two cups. P.S Yes I'd give Seanie credit, his goal in the first one
Or his goal in the semi to get us to the final. Good on eric for scoring in Ballybofey, but ffs that was 3 seasons ago. Are we going to keep him at the club forever even though he doesn't perform on the basis on that goal? Suppose we should never have got rid of Coleman or McNally either?P.S Yes I'd give Seanie credit, his goal in the first one
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
yes 3 seasons ago but seanies goals were 2 seasons ago what is your point.they both as important as each other for entirely different reasons.

yo yo have a cup of coco
