Jamie Clarke could be set for a move to Major League Soccer

[T Fearon]

I cannot imagine him saying that about any other club.He should remember its not that long ago that TNN beat Crossmaglen in a league fixture.

[Brick Tamlin]

It probably still keeps him awake at night in fairness.

[T Fearon]

I can just picture the Bulls manager and supporters commenting when Jamie misses a big game to go travelling that "Ah sure he owes us nothing" It's his life" "Fair play to the lad,he's only young once" etc🙄

He couldn't do that Tony, that would be a breach of contract.
The RB's would just stop his money.

Jamie could learn a thing or two about dedication and commitment from Robbie Keane if he does get involved in US soccer

Correct, although I hope you are not suggesting that Jamie would not honour a contract ??

What bullshit. How committed would robbie have been for all those years had he been amateur. Commitment is easy if your earning 50000 a week.

Correct. Jamie Clarke , if he signs for the RB's can be held to the same standards that Robbie Keane etc is held to, as a paid professional athlete.

Jamie Clarke as an amateur footballer, amateur chess player, amateur anything can do whatever the f**k he wants to do.

[Tyrone Dreamer]

Can't believe some of you are taking this seriously. The clue to this story is in my name on here.

If Robbie Keane was motivated by money and contracts he would have retired years ago.He certainly didn't traipse over from LA for the last few years to play for Ireland for money.He is motivated by the love of the game, acknowledging his privileged position and determination to make it last for as long as possible.

[Rossfan]

He'll be next for canonisation I presume

You are saying that "if Robbie Keane was motivated by money and contracts he would have retired years ago" and not pursued more money and contracts like he has done?? 

I don't doubt he loves the game, as I'd imagine the vast majority of footballers do. However, he's extending his earning years by being a big fish in the tiny pond of MLS and earning several magnitudes more than some of his LA Galaxy teammates. Out of a total of 16 million in total base wages split among 27 players, Keane takes 3.5.

Poor "Cashley" Cole has had to accept less than 10% of Keane's salary due to Gerrard and Keane hogging all the cash!

Comparing Keane to Jamie Clarke is just ludicrous and I suspect, as most do, that this is just another of your attention whore threads. Gives us something to talk about, I suppose.

If Robbie Keane was so 'commited' he wouldn't have jumped from one club to the next as soon as they flashed their knickers at him!  He went off to make easy money in the MSL when he still had plenty left in the tank to challenge himself at the highest level. Shows him up a bit as someone who loves the easy life!!

Robbie left at the right time. Well done to him. Our mistake was carrying him on the senior squad the last two campaigns.

[Orior]

I am not impressed with Oisin Mc Conville's disparaging comments about my home club Tir Na Nog who Crossmaglen meet in the next round of the Championship.😠😠😠

They weren't disparaging they were on the money and respectful, any way O'Hanlons are your home club.

Nope, he failed the interview. And as he lives in County Down, then Glen or Ballyvarley are welcome to him!
