Morrison wants revenge for Frei's 'racist' jibe

Kone

racist jibe?

"Clinton Morrison added an extra edge to Ireland's already fraught World Cup qualifier in Switzerland tomorrow by claiming he had been racially abused during the two sides' meeting here last October.
The Birmingham striker insisted he had not forgotten an alleged racist remark made by the Swiss striker Alexander Frei during the 2-0 defeat last year. That match was conducted in a bitter atmosphere, with Frei's exuberant goal celebrations prompting Mark Kinsella to aim a water bottle at him from the touchline.

Frei will be unavailable for tomorrow's fixture since he is currently serving a ban for having spat at Steven Gerrard during Switzerland's Euro 2004 meeting with England.

"They did us last year in the European Championships," said Morrison, "and there were a lot of things going on in the game which weren't nice.

"Hopefully we can take the form we showed against Cyprus forward and get another win. I am a bit disappointed [Frei misses the game] because he made a remark to me in the game, which I owe him one for.

"It was like a racist remark. I don't really want to repeat it. He said it on the pitch which I went mad about. I will get him when he comes to Dublin." "

Between racist comments and spitting at people, Frei appears to be a right scumbag, he'll get a toasty warm reception at Lansdowne.

Aye, this is one of those times where it actually is OK2boo.

Bungalow Bill

What does by saying he will 'get him'???

Now that interview is unproffesionalism at its finest!

I wonder what - "it was like a racist remark" means?

I've no doubt though that Frei is a scumbag

p.pete

"I am a bit disappointed [Frei misses the game] because he made a remark to me in the game, which I owe him one for.

That's a bit foolish. This information should be used after the event for increasing book sales etc. Saying it before the event will make refs aware and if he does actually do something and he'll be in hot water, premeditation and all that. Alternatively he could do nothing and then he's just mouthing off for no reason (which I wouldn't put past him).

He is a bit of a mouth alright! should be more worried about tryin to finish all those chance he gets that if Frei is playin or not!! anyway cant see how he seen that much of Frei as both are forwards!! dont really see Frei tracking back for corners!

Yea and Kinsella could not even hit him with the bottle....we could not get anything wright that day.

Maybe if Kinsella gets in a good postion (in the front row,because he will not be playing) for the home game he will hit him this time.

Did anybody feel that Clint earned himself a yellow card last night because of his comments the other day? To me he didn't seem to have done anthing other than get into a slagging match with the keeper.

I think Roy Keane also earned a card purely on reputation because the Ref didn't give Yakin a card for what seem like handbags at ten paces. Either both of them or neither should of got a card!

I thought both Clinton and Roy's cards were harsh and don't get me started on the linesmens decisions!

I heard (from a reliable source) that the conversation went something like this

Frei : "Hey Morrison you IRISH n*****!"
Clint : "Who you callin' Irish?"
