8th June and we are in the annual interregnum between the end of the season and the opening of the transfer window on Tuesday. Already the football withdrawal symptoms seem severe. Symptoms include checking MSM and online media for rumours , whispers and innuendo every 90 seconds. Waking in the wee sma hours as alerts come in on your phone. (eg 23yr old Barnsley wonder kid could be the new Scott Brown) If we don't get a player we are cheap bastards. If we do get a player we must have paid too much.Terrified that our talent scouts miss the next Messi. Listening for rumours of the Loan Rangers signing Tonto or Ronaldo for 15 million from the magical money tree of Edmiston Rd. (do not mock) Symptoms are expected to intensify and could reach critical if we do something unthinkable like losing the first qualifying leg to Lincoln Red Imps from Gibraltar. Symptoms should abate when we qualify for the group stages and win the first Glasgow Derby. Sedation with Laphroig is indicated.
