Duffer up front it is then!Quote:
From FAI.ie
Republic of Ireland striker Clinton Morrison is a doubt for the forthcoming World Cup qualification double header with Cyprus and Switzerland after suffering a knee injury in last week’s 1-1 draw with Bulgaria.
I never thought I'd be disappionted to see Morrison injured, but there you go.Quote:

No harm. I don't think Kerr was ever going to drop him no matter how many chances he misses.
I think a rest will do him good. He's still young and needs a chance to get his confidence back.
Question: Do you think Kerr consults Robbie over who his preferred partner is?
I certainly hope so as thats Connolly and Duff out of the question. :)Quote:

Morrisson is usefless anyway, as long as Robbie fit not too much of a loss.

got there before me
went to london for a weekend in april so thought id try out this thing the call the best league in the world
went to fulham vs birmingham and he was useless
constantly kicking air
I think it's the loss of Duff from the left wing that concerns people, not the loss of Morrison up front.Quote:

so clint is injureed... not exactly cornerstone of the team but he does try. Why everyone starts jumping on the "duff up front" bandwagon is beyond me. Its not like he plays any better than clint.
Heres a crazy idea, how about putting one of our best players in his best position and getting someone else like another striker up front. there are a few options, that new english guy might do the job
Not hard enough Jolly I'd have my little sister ahead of him. she'd be more committed to the irish cause rather than bling bling. For "BB" win, lose or draw he doesnt care once he's home in time to watch the saxon game. If you haven't noticed im not a fan of Clint.Quote:

Utter rubbish i'm afraid Murph, i've not seen many other footballers in the last few seasons put in as much effort match by match as Morrison does for Birmingham and Ireland. He is low on confidence at the moment granted, but pulling on the green jersey gives him a tremendous boost (as it should, of course).Quote:
