Morias

Does anyone else think he is built like a Black Mariah(s), for anyone old enough to remember you mum or gran saying,' You'll get carried away in a black mariah

No, but i think he can do a limbo under the door....

I think it's clear why he was signed. I reckon we will go with two up front this year, Langstaff and McGoldrick with Scott and Morias replacing them almost like for like. Keeps everyone fresh as Langstaff tailed off when having to play 90 mins week in week out

I think in the end he'll do reasonably well here if he can stay fit.

In my book, a few of these posts are becoming racial!

Yes, agreed Banjo. I'm sure, not intentionally, but it's 2023

Intentional or not doesn't matter.

Probably best not to take this any further!

Banjo, if serious, I think one, you do some research, and two, you get a sense of humour. Let me explain. Junior Morias is black, well built and very sturdy looking. 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 ) 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.
