WARNOCK'S IN THE WARS

Bluebird Morrison haunts his old boss

- Chris Dunlavy

NEIL Warnock was hoisted by his own petard as old favourite Sean Morrison earned Cardiff City a share of the spoils at the Riverside.

Morrison, 30, scored seven times when Warnock led the Bluebirds on a fairytale promotion to the Premier League in the 2017-18 season.

And it was the defender’s header from a Will Vaulks long throw – deservedly cancelled out by Paddy McNair’s late effort – that ultimately extended Cardiff ’s unbeaten run to nine matches.

“Warney had all of these lads in his team when my teams used to play against him, and they launched everything into the box,” laughed McCarthy.

“He said something to me about that the way we scored, and I said ‘Well, you bought them all, I’m just using them!’

“But you know Neil. He was just complaining because that’s what he does. We’re both the same, really. If we’re not complaining you may as well nail the lid down because we’ll have croaked it.”
