A fine innings though, in the end from him. Against some long odds, that late in the day sojourn at the top of his trade and fair play to him.

Pity they sacked McDermott, he would have played out the season otherwise.
Still a decent enough player. Always had a sweet left foot. He would still be a great addition to a championship team
Harte in demand!

Well he won't lose much pace as he ages as there was not a lot there to start with. and he can no doubt still strike the balls as well as anyone.
Just promoted up from League 1 to the Championship, they might be good. Fair play to Ian for finding a Championship club to continue his career.
Goal for Doesn't Even Know I'm Irish to put Bournemouth 4-0 up at Darren Randolph's Birmingham.
Why the passive aggressiveness?
Is the guy supposed to do the Jitterbug because the manager doesn't know who he is?
I just think he made a bit of an idiot of himself over the whole thing. Even if the manager didn't know he was Irish, he acted like a baby.
He did what??
He gave away a peno, tets :p
Sorry, iPad autocorrect! He conceded a needless penalty kick.
Harte's goal was a good'un: http://balls.ie/football/gif-ian-har...rgeous-curler/

nice reflection from the screen of someone holding a phone too
Lovely curtains.
I thought it was the shroud of Trapattoni scouting from his penthouse in Milan. *Faint* "We watch Harte. Carsley too. We remember. We remember. *Fainter* We remember.."
Certainly knows how to put his foot through the ball, he has dynamite in his boots!

Harte signs on for another season.

Bournemouth could move into the Championship play-off positions if they beat Sheffield Wednesday today and both Reading and Brighton lose. Eddie Howe's side are six games unbeaten. Ian Harte, their 36-year-old left-back, seems to be piling up the supplements in the home dressing room. Maybe that is the secret to a 17-year career.
You have to remind me, who's Ian Harte?
Ah? Ah? In Italian we have saying, non destare il can che dorme. Harta need let sleeping dog lie. We remember, me and Marco. Also Carsley. I manage many team. Many trophy. How many trophy Ireland win? Ah? Ah? Many teams interest. Me and Marco leave tomorrow. Ciao! We do good job. Must remember. Before Giovanni, Ireland no tournament. Bottom qualification. *Explosion noise* Con niente non si fa niente. You can't ah make something from ah nothing.

Nice little tribute to Ian Harte here.
Bournemouth could use some of that experience now. He sits on the bench as they've gone down 3-0 in 25 minutes to Blackburn.
Howe doesn't even know he's on the bench!
Harte released: http://www.afcb.co.uk/news/article/a...t-2444107.aspx
He's 37, 38 in August, so he'll probably retire

Great career overall. Semi finals of the Champions League, played in a World Cup, a decent spell in La Liga, Wembley and top scorer with Carlisle and promotion with Bournemouth. He said his highlight was the free kick against Deportivo in the CL quarter final, hard to argue with that but perhaps Korea/Japan might have outranked it if his own personal performances had been closer to his usual level.

For me Harte suffered most from the Keane/McCarthy fall out. His confidence seemed absolutely shot in Japan/Korea
I am half joking here ! ! but can you imagine how good he would have been if he had a right foot and and a bit of pace ! !
Anyway he has had a very good career.

Anyway he has had a very good career.
He was also a brilliant Freetaker and a good penalty taker as well.
I read a few of the books post Saipan, notably Quinn's where I think I remember him saying some of the lads were shattered and very low in confidence after Keane's exit. He galvanised certain players. I think Harte was one of them.
Others, of course, upped their game
