The LOI is far from the Hollywood lifestyle. Browne has a young family, and is reportedly building a house and got a full time job. And it's been noted that he hates the travelling. Personally think Browne is making a very sensible decision. Gets to play closer to home, next to no traveling and has got several additional hours free weekly that he could spend with he's family. The chap is clearly looking at life beyond football. Which you can't blame him for as the LOI most certainly does not set you up for life after football and he isn't getting any younger.
Always been known that Fletch has been a home bird. Just look at the 2011 season where he dropped down to the first division when Waterford looked like they may go somewhere. But didn't and haven't since. Don't think it's lack of ambition at all. Purely a case of wanting to be at home.
And on top of that when Cork fans are making up rumours about him and spouting all sorts about him. Throughout the web, you can't blame the chap for not wanting to there. Fletch has denied he refused to play for Cork tonight.
Paddy McCourt to Harps. Not sure what to make of it.
Delighted hes back in the league. Wouldn't want him here. (He'll definitely score next week now...)
Appreciate the potential!! I dont know how Harps are set up for training but with McCourt saying that he couldnt adjust to part-time training in the Irish League I hope Harps, like other clubs in the league, although train in the evenings nearly put in F-T training hours in the evening. Obviously he has had a bit of a preseason with Dundalk, I think he would have been signed if his fitness had been up to it. If that is the case that he is a busted flush it would be a pity as there are few players that were such a joy to watch play as Paddy McCourt! I really hope it works out for both player and club!
Great to see him back , hopefully he gets fit and pushes on.
Justin Hoyte to Bray??

What's the update on the Kenny Brown story? Heard lots of rumours. Actually difficult to get full story on any gossip out of CCFC.
Robbie Keane is training with Shamrock Rovers at the minute.
According to Dan McDonnell, Rovers have confirmed it's just to maintain his fitness levels and a permanent move to Tallaght isn't on the cards: http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...-35511940.html

It's a pity the likes of Duff and Fahey ended up retiring early.
Having Keane, Duff, Fahey and even McPhail in the one team would have been some novelty for the league.
I'd be amazed if he doesn't end up at Rovers at some stage even if it is in a year or so.
