*We join the lads a little down about not capitalising and edging away from relegation*
Gabby: Damn it! Another 0-0, any minute now the boss is going to come in and…
*the door bursts open to a grinning McLeish*
McLeish: Celebrate!
Gabby: … Yeah … That.
McLeish: Come on everybody. #Celebrate good times! Come on!#
*the lads all still look disgruntled except for Heskey who is getting into the swing of things*
Heskey (With very low voice): #It’s a celebration#
*McLeish and Heskey sway, arms around each other’s shoulders and sing on, Hutton is giving goalkeeping tips to Given.*
Hutton:…Strong wrists, that’s the key, an’ positioning, it’s all about tha’ positioning.
Given (Scribbling on his notepad): Positioning….. and…… wrists, got yer man cheers.
Hutton: Sure, no problem. Always there to lend ‘A HAND’.
Given: Yeah. Thanks.
Hutton: Tha’ was a joke there, aboot tha’ hand, because I handled tha’ ball.
Given: Yeah. I got it.
Hutton: You didnae laugh though. It was a joke.
Given: Yeah. It wasn’t funny. Perhaps you should stick to your day job.
Hutton: Yeah, maybe I’ll just stick to the goalkeepin’.
Given: You’re a full back.
Hutton: Oh! Yeah, of course, a full back, I’ll stick to that.
Given: Well I say full back, you’re not all that good at….
Hutton: Alright! Alright!
*McLeish is brandishing a claret and blue leaflet*
McLeish: Check this oot guys, ‘McLeish Out Day’! How nice of tha’ fans to take time oot to show some appreciation for all I’ve done this season.
Albrighton: Um…. Boss…. I think….
McLeish: I wonder what they’re going to do? Says before AND after the match, do you think they’re gonna take me out on a day trip to Bath or maybe Brighton? That’d be grand!
Albrighton: I don’t think what that’s what they’re planning boss, I think….
McLeish: Oh… Really? You think maybe they’re going to take me to dinner maybe, a nice meal, some wining and dining?
Albrighton: Oh there’ll definitely be whining….
McLeish: Aye. Brillian’!
