Yep, agree, would you buy a car if it didn’t run I guess

We bought Izale McLeod. Pretty sure I've never seen such a capable player try so little!!

Morias doesn't seem to have a history of being injury-prone, and given the amount of games he played for D&G last season, he only seems to have been injured just prior to signing for us and ever since. So it looks like bad luck, although you'd hope a medical would spot this stuff.

I hope he gets himself fit as I think he could add something different.

Like Baldwin, he's training on the grass so hopefully not too long before he's fully fit again.

From his own description, I think his main attribute is closing down players and being something of a workhorse.

Cult player in the making I think. Also he's quick, strong and powerful. Not many defenders would like him bearing down on you in a counter attack. If he can stay fit he'll be good for us.

Definitely. He works tirelessly, and his goalscoring record isn't bad either. If you can get 1 in 3 for Daggers, you can get 1 in 2 for Notts.

A Black Mariah was a police van used to carry undesirables to and from prisons/courts, which was well built and sturdy looking. Do you see the connection in both words and appearances, no racism there.
Junior Morias is relatively small for a footballer too, and is black, some black people are very good at limbo,(other coloured people can also be good at this too ;D) so could be amusing to think of him limbo-ing under a door, oh the times I wish I could have done that lol.
BJPIE, yes sorry, I forgot to have my humour gene removed.

The jokes not very funny and based on some pretty obvious wordplay.
I don't think Magpies1959 is making a racist comment, however, there are a couple of lazy stereotypes. I.E. "some black people are very good at limbo" Also, black guys were often wrongly targeted by the police in the street in previous decades (and maybe still are) so it's a dodgy area for humour.
I just question why the focus is on his skin colour? He's a new player who wants to do well at his new club and should be welcomed by the supporters. Common sense gene required.

I think we have dropped this - in no one's interest to keep it going.
