    Interesting to read Morro's account of the Owls match, and the amount of verbal abuse he had to take throughout the game from Megson in his technical area. Shows that Megson is not just a rubbish manager he's a rubbish bloke as well.

    It makes me wonder how I'd react if we ever made a really terrible managerial appointment. If the manager advocated ghastly football or was an utter twat (or as in Megson's case, both) I wonder if I could bring myself to go. Parky, for all his shortcomings, was a decent guy who you knew was trying his best. I just could not bring myself to get behind a plonker like Megson. One wonders why the 4th official didn't do something about this? If Morro could hear it I assume the 4th official could too.

    He could hear it alright. "......after one challenge in the second half, he was going full flow at me. It was so loud that I couldn't hear everything, but that's the kind of guy he is......."

    My guess is that Megson feels a little stupid for letting possibly the best Centre Back in L1 join us (one of his biggest rivals) for only £250k in the summer.

    It was mentioned by Chris Powell after the game with Sheffield Wednesday,so came as no surprise.Michael Morrison can rise above that idiot by letting his football do the talking......

    Ye gods - from the initial match report and CP's comments afterwards, I thought this was a one-off remark, not a persistent sledging.

    You have to ask what the hell the referee and the lino were doing allowing it to continue.

    Disgraceful.

    I was expecting worse from the fans, so that was OK, but you can hear Gary Megson shouting all through the game," said the 23-year old. "I was an ex-player of his, and for whatever reason, I apparently never played well enough for him."

    "He was venting that, and after one challenge in the second half, he was going full flow at me. It was so loud that I couldnt hear everything, but thats the kind of guy he is."

    "It was nice to get back on the coach having won 1-0, and hopefully I wont have to go back there for a few good years."

    Have to admit after reading this last night I dont think I've ever heard such comments from a player towards any Manager or ex-manager in my life, no wonder the Bolton fans hated Megson.

    Wednesday really is a horrible club, sore losers the lot of them.

    Megson was heard shouting -

    "How is it that you are now the best central defender outside of the Premiership? You are making me look like a first-class prick for selling you! Anyone would think it's because you are being coached by a top young manager at a club that is really going places. I hate you, Morro, I bloody hate you, I detest you! Damn your eyes, Morro! And damn your beautiful red shirt, white shorts and red socks!"

    You get the idea.

    Do I detect some poetic licence here?

    You crack me up sometimes, Ponders. <laugh>
