    Didn't Connolly and de Valera fight for the right to be Irish?

    Whereas Morrison prostituted himself to Sven's English team, was rejected, and so exercised his right to an Irish passport while showing his knowledge of all things Irish by saying things at press conferences like "I've never seen that game before" as the Irish team played GAA at training or "the Blarney Stone is made of emerald".

    In my book that makes him a c*"t.

    When did he play a good game of football either it be a club or International level? Opps I forgot, a carling cup game against Liverpool five years ago and then thought he should be in the English team before Michael Owen.Now lowly Palace don’t even want him.

    Two matches that stand out are Cyprus (1st Leg WCQ) and China. Not only did he score in both, but also played pretty well. Though I could just be mixing Cyprus with just the whole team playing well

    To be fair to Clint he scored some goals for us in the last campaign and him and Keane looked a good partnership for a while, he has got an attitude problem but some managers can manage him. Dowie got results out of him at Palalce even when he was used as a sub a lot of the time. Him and Taylor had a big bust up during the last Palace game and Taylor has said he'll never play for him again which probably meant he wasn't in the best frame of mind

    Clinton decided he was "Oirish" when he realised he wasn't going to get a game for England!

    He's an arseh*le and a very poor footballer!

    i dont know why Morrison is coming in for all this criticism after last nights performance. The only passes he got were lumped up to him. The only thing he could do was try and win free kicks because even if he had won the headers there was no support for him.

    There were far worse players that Morrison and its unfair to criticise the man for last nights performance.

    I don't think Clinton was fit - he always tries for us and runs around a lot so I don't mind him to be honest.

    You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!

    Sure, why not? Honorary doctorates are two a penny. Means nothing.

    He's the original Great Pretender. He'd give you the impression that he works really hard for the team while all he's doing is just running about with no real confiction and jumping for headers with no real intention of winning the ball.

    He reminds me of a kid that would mime in a school choir just to get off lessons.
