Club statement

Galway United have terminated the contract, with immediate effect, of striker Eric Lavine following an internal disciplinary process.... www.galwayunitedfc.ie

**corbyeire** · 25/04/2006, 9:14 AM

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

**The Stars** · 25/04/2006, 9:25 AM

what happened there lads?

**gufct** · 25/04/2006, 10:15 AM

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?

**Patrick Dunne** · 25/04/2006, 10:55 AM

But in his defence, Damien doesn't have difficulties with attending training or away matches.

**JW.** · 25/04/2006, 11:12 AM

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.

**Terry** · 25/04/2006, 11:18 AM

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!!

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.

**JW.** · 25/04/2006, 11:33 AM

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

**Patrick Dunne** · 25/04/2006, 12:16 PM

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.

**gufct** · 25/04/2006, 2:08 PM

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.

damo

Sorry to go off topic Galway lads. Damo, how is it going for you in Switzerland?

**gufct** · 25/04/2006, 2:43 PM

your adoring public awaits you. I think people are slagging off eric and your name came up because you were a committed super hero fo the tribal army.

**Trainee** · 25/04/2006, 3:10 PM

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

**Conor H** · 25/04/2006, 3:15 PM

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 saturday

Conor would u make any changes to the team that played in Kildare for the trip to cobh? (bear in mind mixie & Billy along with a couple of others were missing)
