Bugger!
Despite various claims of Clint's non-Irishness & mercenary tendencies & other nasty vibes posted elswhere on the forums, theres no doubt that we'll miss the bling-merchant on wednesday.
I couldn't have happened at a better time.Quote:

what a pity cause the lad seems to be full of confidence when playing for us and i cant believe Bruce is not picking him for brum when heskey and the has been yorke get in ahead of him. Confidence is a huge thing for a striker and client was full of it on sat and had the schillaci or whatever is his pocket
It couldn't have happened at a worse time for him personally with Heskey and Forsell out injured and Stern John recently sold. :(Quote:

Cant belive he isnt getting regular games at birmingham. :confused:
That's a big shame he would have gotten a run in the team.
The brummies will have to play 4-5-1 for the next few weeks with Yorke up front on his own :eek:
argh!
Feel sorry for him as well as for as for us :(
Know maself how painful knee cartlidge damage is-unfrotunatley i'm 2 years on and still 'recovering'.
Get well soon Clinton! :ball:
Get well soon Clint!
he almost always gives his best and i'd still say him and robbie are our best strikeforce hope he gets well soon
Clinton's been charged by the FA re: the Bolton, Nick Hunt incident.
(from http://www.premierleague.com/fapl.ra...egoryCode=News)
MORRISON CHARGED BY FA
Birmingham City striker Clinton Morrison has been charged with improper conduct by the Football Association following an incident during Tuesday's Barclays Premiership clash with Bolton Wanderers.
Morrison was clearly seen to push Bolton defender Nicky Hunt to the ground inside the visitors’ penalty area in the aftermath of a flare-up involving Emile Heskey and Bruno N’Gotty.
Referee Uriah Rennie did not see the incident as it occurred but the FA have taken action and charged the Republic of Ireland international.
Rennie has since studied video footage of the Morrison outburst and confirmed to the FA that he would only have given the player a caution rather than send him off.
The FA have the power to impose a one-match ban, or could issue a fine and a warning to Morrison about his future conduct.
i was just reading the earlier parts to that thread from october. look how things have changed for morrison in around 6weeks. he looked a poor player for birmingham rarely doing anything and now him and heskey compliment each other superbly and has something like 3 goals in his last 5 with another 2 assists. football is a funny game!
