[cite]Posted By: paulbaconsarnie[/cite]for me all that matters is we have to back pardew.
if he thinks that morris fits in with his plans and will move the squad to being nearer what he wishes it to be (hopefully short term in morris's case) then so be it.
lots of modern day footballers come with 'baggage', although agreed some more than most.
it's what they do on the pitch that i'm intrested in.
if we ummed and aarghed over other players off field antics we may not have signed or may have got rid of a lot of other players such as;
lee bowyer - no explanation needed
peter shirtliff - anyone remember the wife beating story
sir clive - spent his afternoons (and a fair % of his wages) in the bookies
eddie youds - ditto
darren bent - shot a 12 year old kid
all above i consider performed brilliantly for charlton on the pitch, yet each has a reason to not sign or get shot.
as for marcus bent, if he bangs in 20 goals next year i couldn't care whether he is shagging dannielle lloyd or harold lloyd.
PBS- great post IMHO
As i've posted before- offer Morris a paid as you play contract and see what happens.
BTW- the Harold/Dannielle Lloyd line-very true and very funny!

Well when you put it like that he sounds like a right arsehole ...
although weve all been found topless lying in the street havnt we??? ; )
Now, first of all let me nail my colours to the mast - even assuming he can play a bit, little Judy Morris ain't really my cup of tea.
Pint-sized physique with massive inflated ego - typical 'small man/big chip on shoulder' syndrome.
Reputation as binge drinking, brawling, wildly undisciplined, provocative, uncouth thug of a character.
Even sacked by Millwall, where you'd think he would at least have found a spiritual home.
Well, I guess any manager worth his salt would do his homework on a player first, so Pards must be well aware of Morris' CV so far. And sufficiently impressed by his training to offer him a shirt at Welling last night.
Despite the bloke's baggage and the hate campaign already fully underway, we've got to realise that Pards is watching his every move with an eagle eye. Give someone enough rope and they'll hang themself......or not.
On this one, I think we'll have to just trust in Pards..........
Sorry.
My trust & faith in Pard's will evaporate at a rate of knots if he signs this total C*** (& anyone who knows me, knows I NEVER use that word).
Everything that AFKA has said is spot on. This man is only interested in one thing. Getting his money & spending it fast on all the wrong things.
He is NOT a Charlton player.
And seeing him in a Charlton shirt yesterday made me feel physically sick. Thank Christ Dad wasn't there!
I was stood in the reception with a mate at the New Den. Jody Morris walks in, my mate (who in truth knows very little about football) says.......'what's that jockey doing here?'
In short (tee hee, like it?) the geezer has small mans syndrome & will always carry that where ever he goes.
Thatcher i accepted - a mistake he made, bit of a thug but i like that in a man.
Judy (i like that) is a completely different kettle of fish. i will be mortified if we sign him and i hope the board are watching this. this loser IS NOT CHARLTON!!! NOW F**K HIM OFF.
My view is that as Pardew is the only one that has spoken to him and seen him train, then I'm happy to trust Pards judgment as to whether he will do a job for us.
If he can convince Pardew that he has cleaned up his act and is worth a gamble then I'm willing to go with that.

Or had everyone lost interest in him by then?
but if he's a good player for us , which i very much doubt , it would hurt having to cheer him on
Could be worse, we could have a squad of players like Blackburns. Probably only a Lee Bowyer away from a prison team

Yes but what has this got to do with Morris
little monkies.
Al, its got absolute jack all with him being an ex-Millwall player, not bothered about that in the slightest.

Morris is a despicable spoiled cock because of what he has done (and is likely to do again), not because he was born a shorty.
