**Colbert Report** · 10/12/2007, 6:10 PM

Clinton Morrison's days as an Irish internation player are long since over. Gone too are the days of throwing Gary Doherty up front an pumping the long ball up to him.

Stephen Elliott looked to be the part, but injuries got in his way. Since then, the emergence of Kevin Doyle and Shane Long have removed him from international consideration.

"So Roy, what do you think of Venables getting the Ireland job?"

"uhh, well I think he's a great manager & other diplomatic platitudes"

"Thanks Roy"

We aren't so rich with strikers that we can dismiss Morrison so readily. We only have two who have proven anything to be ahead of him and I'd say he's worth sticking on the bench.

Gary Doherty on the other hand......

is a true hero

this is already in the venables thread.

All that can be said is thank God you're not going to be our next manager. Clinton Morrison has achieved more in the last two months that Shane Long has achieved in his career. As much as Long may have potential, few could say he has truly 'emerged'. Clint has something like 6 goals in his last 5 games and has rarely failed to perform for Ireland. I would like to see, and believe, that he will return to the squad when the new manager comes in if he can maintain his current performances.

I don't begrudge that, but I'm just suggesting that the question was probably loaded & specifically about Venables getting the job (rather than "who would you want as the new manager?"); and of course no professional is going to be publicly disparaging about a peer.

his record before he was dropped was as good as if not better than keanes no?

**eekers** · 11/12/2007, 8:44 AM

as i said in the other thread:

keane wanted o'leary for the job three weeks ago.

so roy, what do you think of the favourite?
"yes, the favourite could definately do a good job. why not like?"

i'd actually be happy to see Clint back in the reckoning...think Long should be sent back to the u21's and Clinton would deffo be an option to come off the bench for Doyle. he's always worked well with Robbie imho....

**citizenerased** · 11/12/2007, 10:16 AM

clint should be in the squad anyway...he has earned a recall
