D C wrote:Obviously this could be true. But my guess would be Nolan trying to engage in some 'Banter' and Morrison not being amused in the slightest. Like a builder taking the piss out of the current generation of apprentices and them just going into one.

That was my take on the likely scenario

Nolan is old school, and I'd imagine is well up for the banter. I'd imagine some of it can be fairly cutting, in a jokey kind of way. See a weakness or some character trait, and take the piss. Expecting piss-taking in return

Ravel strikes me as one of those young wannabe gangsta's, too cool to smile, who sees anyone mocking any aspect of him, as disrespect

So it may well have gone something like:-
Nolan - "you should get down the East End mate, they have proper gansters there"
Ravel - "you disrespecting me blud? You disrespecting my crew? You don't wanna disrespect me, my crew will cut you up..."

Something like that...maybe... :lol:

Nolan probably made a joke to try to get Morrison involved with the team, Morrison reacts in the complete wrong way and takes offence when the captain was just trying to get the team together. Kind of like when Nolan was named man of the match against Barnsley as a practical joke? Nolan fixed Carroll, and probably thought he could do something similar with Ravel but he's a tougher nut to crack. And in response to Scratchy #teamnolan

If Ravel isn't careful he will be forced to live with Nolan like Andy Carroll was when he was being a bit wayward at Newcastle, so it would probably be a good idea to stay the right side of him!

Can't help but think the whole Morrison situation has been handled in completely the wrong way. I accept that missing training and having rows with other players is not acceptable but i wonder what would have happened had he been put into the first team straight away. I would be pissed off too if a joker like Taylor, Faubert, O'neil was picked to play over me when a few sweeks agao talent wiase he was considered good enough for the first team of the defending champions of the premeir league. I mean making him wait on the sidelines was always asking for trouble. If that was Rednapp managing him he would have been on the subs bench from the beginning, given cameos and chances to show what he could do.

Redknapp's one of the most vindictive managers there is. Ask Dani for starters...

Any updates on the boy. With six games to go we don't have a lot to lose, as we will probably baring a huge collapse be in the playoffs. We are lacking any creativity from the midfield why not give him a shot. Especially as noble might be injured.

To be fair, I think he retired about 26 didn't he. Went to run a nightclub or am I imagining it.?

Or he might just have told a full press-conference that his missus could do a better job than Ravel Morrison and ignore him for the next 6 months.

Redknapp is great man-manager is one of the biggest myths in football.

Is this serious? After a 6-0 win?

He's probably sitting at home banging his girlfriend playing fifa and going for casual drives in his BM or Merc.

Or he's training, settling in to a new atmosphere before being rushed in at the first instance and being boo'ed because he can't cruyff turn past Jay McEveley or someone equally as ****. :lol:
