Not as long a shot as you might think.
Irish people are in a very privileged position when it comes to footballing knowledge. There is no other set of football fans in the world, for example, who know of Richard Dunne’s ability to stop the entire Russian army with a well-timed block, for example.
We are also the only ones who know that Clinton Morrison is arguably the greatest striker to have played the modern game.
Morrison has been playing at Exeter since 2014, and in that time he’s managed one league goal in 42 appearances. We can only assume he’s been biding his time for tonight, where he might get a run out against a Liverpool team that has no centre-halves fit.
He’s 14-1 to be the first goalscorer tonight on Ladbrokes.
Still more likely than Joe Allen.
JOE called Ladbrokes in order to find out the odds on a Morrison hat-trick, and we were told that was being priced at 300-1. Worth a flutter?
