Arab 98H Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) Now you saintees know what we went through with Fran. Good player but attitude was out of step with most of the supporters. I hope he does well he has a talent... Edited May 13, 2012 by Arab 98H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soulfulsaint Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Now you saintees know what we went through with Fran. Good player but attitude was out of step with most of the supporters. I hope he does well he has a talent... Not sure I wholly agree with this. He made two errors in one week and they were both howlers but his attitude on the park was often outstanding and he is one of the hardest working forwards I've seen in the SPL. I will miss him. Numerous threads on this forum speak to his hard work including this one on Sandaza - the Grafter. http://www.weareperth.co.uk/vforum/showthread.php?t=17975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jad Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Glad to have had Fran at Saints, shame that it went a bit wrong at the end but he is aware that he let himself, club, team & fans down. Let's not forget the fact that the medie biased OF played a hand in upsetting the balance with all the stories of Rangers etc. He is leaving, going straight after todays game to catch flight & is not returning. Has offers including Dubai to consider. I wish him the best & am glad that he played in a Saints shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got passion He had enough passion to be the last Saintee off the pitch today, enough passion to score a disallowed goal and a shot cleared of the line.

THE LARK SAINT Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) Heaven knows , screwed if i do!I love a manager who is passionate ,gets fired up and acts like a fud.That said i i know that from a lower level of football to the highest there is little a gaffer can do come Kick Off to influence the game,Come on once the players have crossed the white line it is truly impossible to have a say in the game .Or is it? I sat in silence the day it was announced that Billy Stark was to be Saints boss instead of Tommy Burns, as it was announced he was to be our gaffer and, as-some would say was second choice i suppose i have to admit he would never have been my first choice, Saints were a lower League diddy team back then and to a point anything goes But one fine day in Inverness i blew a gasket, not because we lost(we did but hey ho)Hell i mean every Saints knows part of the teroitary involves losing more than our share of goals and games. but the turning point for me amongst other things was Starks body language and lack of fire in his belly I have to after today draw parallel with Mr Lomas and oor Billie. Shite you say but i watched him slumped beside the dugout today looking a beaten Man Whether you believe some of the tabloid stories or not and Mr Lomas's views on a Rangers newco the one thing i do demand is a remote interest in the job in hand I lost it with billy that day in Sneggy after months of arms folded lack of passion style of management Mr Lomas came to us and seemed fired up for games, but the last two games Hearts away, and Rangers home, he has looked like, dare i say it Billy Stark. I have met the man more than once and he is a great man, very helpful and a gent above all. But today is slumped against the dug for most of the second half, scared me and remind ed me of the STARK ERA!!!Brrrrr,Dont get me wrong as after all i bet Killie, Aberdeen and Hibs fans would love to be top 6, but we hold that position and i would have bitten yer hand off for that in January. So what do you make of a Manager who lacks passion? Answers on a post card to I hope im wrong. com Edited May 13, 2012 by THE LARK SAINT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenrothes saintee Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Lark, maybe Lomas knows the hard task ahead? I heard him on the radio saying we need 10 or 13 players for next season with a possible Euro cup game on 16 ( or 17) July. With losing a possible 10 players at the end of the season I don't envy his job. COYS.........and Hertz for the cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jad Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Fran has 3 offers on the table & is definately away. He was driven through to Edinburgh airport today & will not be back at Saints. Glad that he played for us, annoyed that OF media spin altered things so it disrupted what he was doing at Saints, then moment of madness cost us dear against Dundee Utd. But I do believe he had passion & desire, today he probably tried too hard to make amends. So to finish my post, Thanks Fran you gave us some good times & lit up our season by getting us into the top 6. Unfortunately the European light has dimmed but Fran I wish you well.

Edstar101 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 thought he was pish today....about on par with how he has played since the transfer window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st paddy Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Technically, he was easily our best player today, but yeah, he did try to hard, but for the right reasons i hope. 1st half of the season, I was smitten by the guy, but since the 'gers debacle, he has gone of the boil but continued to try. the United game gave me cause to want to slap his head for him, but reflection left me merely annoyed. i will accept the effort today as an unspoken apology, but Fran, you must realise you are a better player when you are a team player. If you do fancy another season in Perth, i for one will welcome you with open arms. If not, then good luck, and thanks for the memories. Hasta la vista, franny!

saint in exile Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Fran should have taken his chance in the transfer window when he was playing well and had plenty of interest from other clubs.His recent poor form and his ill indiscipline against Dundee Utd makes it a real possibility that he may be with us next season.I`d like to think so anyway!

CynicalSaintee Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 He's done almost nothing since January, whether that's just a loss of form or whether he just didn't want to play with us I don't know, but he ain't coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
