Joey Barton rules out move to League of Ireland

FREE agent Joey Barton has ruled out any suggestions that a move to the League of Ireland could be on the cards. 

The former Manchester City and Newcastle United midfielder said in a Twitter Q&A that he would rather retire than head across the Irish Sea.

Barton, 32, was released by Queens Park Rangers at the end of last season, but said that he wouldn’t follow in the footsteps of ex-Newcastle teammate Damien Duff.

Ouch!. Irish soccer fans surely won't be too impressed with his response.
