In fairness I don't remember seeing Morrisson have a complete nightmare for Ireland and he is playing well at the moment.
the difference between clinton morrison and alan lee/connolly is that clinton has previously played quite well for ireland so has already proved that he can do the job

Clinton also has personality. Personality goes a long way.
I think I should the parachute, because I'm great.
In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.
You may laugh but from what I hear of the squad dynamic Clinton's personality would be very welcome.
Its your above reason I have a problem with ..the slightly racist reason you are refering tooOriginally Posted by seanfhear View Post
if clinton morrison was a nice white boy and born in ireland and scoring this amount of goals he would definitely be in the squad
I agree he should be in the squad but I don't think the reason you are stating is why he is not

Bring back the plank
Crystal Palace striker Clinton Morrison has revealed his frustration after being snubbed by Republic Of Ireland caretaker boss Don Givens for their showcase friendly with Brazil, writes Simon Fitzjohn.
Morrison, who sits second in the Championship scoring charts with 13 goals this season, had hoped his excellent form may push him back into the reckoning.
But the forward, who has struck nine goals in 34 appearances for the national side, once again found himself out in the cold.
Morrison said: "I'm 100 per cent disappointed not to be involved.
"It's always great to be involved with Ireland and I love going away with the boys.
"It would have been a fantastic game to be involved in.
"But the manager makes a decision and you have to respect that.
"I'm absolutely gutted".
fair play morrisson, at least he gets on with it, not saying i should definitely be in there etc etc, and good to see he enjoys playing for Ireland!!!
Always liked the clint!! I think he deserves to be in there alright!
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
I'd be very surprised if he wasn't part of any new managers plans.
I think Clinton deserves a place in the squad anyway. Hold up the ball well and gets the odd goal. Surely worth a place on the bench anyway.
he will never displace the other two while they are fit and in form but he is a great option and a proven one
Was he crazy!! Yeah , in a very special way , an Irishman.
I slept, and dreamed that life was Beauty;
I woke, and found that life was Duty.
I'm going to try and go to Palace vs Ipswich tomorrow. Plenty of Irish on view hopefully.
Is it on the box? I'll record it if it is
<EDIT>
No, it's not on according to this: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12942,00.html
Actually there's only one live game for the rest of this week, which is strange enough
Palace vs Bristol City is on tomorrow though.
