A Rovers Tale..

[Colin C No.3]

Wednesday 31st a.m. A telephone rings..

JR. Hello, Jim Rowan.
BS. Ay up Jim it's Barry, Barry Shape.
JR. Now then Barry son. Go on, tell me you're coming to play for me for nowt?!
BS. You always were a dreamer Jim!
JR. Aye son so they tell me, so they tell me.
BS. Big meeting t'neet then Jim. Is this where the 'celtic consortium' empty a sack o' money out ont' table?
JR. I wish son. Truth is we don't have a pot to piss in. Fans won't be happy. They're expecting me to stand up & say "I can confirm we have signed Billy Shape, Shay Govan & Wayne ruddy Mooney!".
BS. Bloody 'ell. Tha must 'ave summat to spend though Jim surely?
JR. Truth is son, promotion straight back up caught me & the rest of us with our pant's down! I mean, who'd a thought it? Duane Sanders & his 'Expendables'. "The Dirty Dozen"! Eh! Then Duane off to obscurity in the Black Country & the 'little fella' taking over the reigns & all on two bob! Then blow me, we only go & win the ruddy league with the last kick of the season & with the whole Nation watching on telly I mean, you couldn't mek it up! I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
BS. Bugger. I fancied playing in red & white an' all, even if it were hoops not stripes. Got t' be better than warming me backside on a bench on t' South Coast.
JR. Chin up son. Somebody's bound to come in for you, last minute like.
BS. Somebody back up north I 'ope. You've got 'Duckpool' opening game 'ant yer?
JR. We 'ave. I just hope they turn up with eleven donkeys!
BS. D'unt manager's son play int' side. I 'eard he turned down an £8 million move to a Premiership side. 'E must be soft in 'is 'ead.
JR. Aye, £8 million. What I could do with that sort of money 'ere.
BS. Buy a 'Fat lad from Scuffeeled' for starter's eh?
JR. I would that son, I would that. Good luck for the season Barry. I hope all work's out well for you. Keep in touch.
BS. Aye, same to you Jim. "Up the Rovers"!
JR. (Laughing)..Til I die son, til I die.
