Why was he in New York?

**max power** · 15/12/2007, 3:22 PM

if he didn't perform his duties as a contracted player, why was he paid ???

**Longfordian** · 15/12/2007, 3:37 PM

Paid all year because the club were decent to him.He never told anybody he was going to America if that's where he was. Alan Mathews told the club after the cup final that Freeman went AWOL. He never heard from him at all

**max power** · 15/12/2007, 3:38 PM

can this be reported to the FAi or players union.

**Rocky77** · 15/12/2007, 3:43 PM

Not sure that can be done. It's common practice to release a player form his contract but Freeman's contract is up so it'll be a case of everyone move on and forget it, I'd say.

It just shows you the mans lack of decency towards his fellow players fans and club aside you would think he would be there to give his teamates support. Anyway we will move on we dont need to be bothered with that sort of sh1te more important things to worry about!

Yup nothing can be done but we shouldnt forget it completely

I heard one of Mathews epithets was "all players are *****", and with every year that passes I see how right he is about that.

Me feiners, all of them.

**Rocky77** · 15/12/2007, 4:37 PM

No you're absolutely right, we won't be forgetting it any time soon. I meant to forget it professionally and not waste time and money following it up.

He'll know we haven't forgotten if he's back as an away player at the Flansiro next season.

**Martinho II** · 15/12/2007, 5:42 PM

absolutely disgusted with freemans conduct.. explains why there was no sign of freeman at the cup final... after what the club did for him last season... the mans a gob****e for whats hes done.. he deserves stick of the highest order next season...you would think the man would have the decency to stick around for the cup final...

**spaceghost** · 16/12/2007, 9:48 AM

its not as if he's any good anyway.i wouldn't waste time thinking about him.

**Keen2win** · 16/12/2007, 10:13 AM

Can't wait to give him some abuse next time hes at the Flansiro.

Precisely never rated him. Our small squad was the ONLY reason he was a loss for us last season not because he was a good player!

Agree totally Sonic.Back in 03/04 Freeman wouldn't have even made the bench!
Good luck to him finding a club with that sort of conduct.One of the fundamental attributes that any good manager should look for in a player is loyalty.Alright Paisley loyalty wasn't exactly to the fore but @ least he is a decent player and was snapped up but Freeman has neither loyalty or much talent.

When he returns to Flancare (prob as a leinster senior player in the 2nd round cup tie) The language will be colorful for sure!
