Morrison’s exclusion has left him bitter

CLINTON MORRISON admitted last night that his omission from the Republic of Ireland squad has left him bitter.

“It’s up to Steve Staunton, he’s got my phone number and knows where I am at,” Morrison said in the wake of his exclusion from the Republic’s squad for next week’s key Euro 2008 double header in Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

“He knows I can play up front because I’ve done it numerous times for Ireland,” said Morrison.
