FUCKING hell. That’s all I can say. Who’d have thunk the off season would be this deadly dull. Seriously, I had more fun the last time I cut my toenails. There is nothing happening. Not a dicky bird.
Lennon becoming Celtic manager finally brings to an end the most unbearably dull and totally predictable search for a new manager. The usual comments spout forth from his mouth, the ones about it being a wonderful moment in his life, and how he wants to bring back the days of thunder at Paradise, and how war will feature heavily in the upcoming season. Blah, blah, blah.
Rangers meanwhile are being taken over by Arabs. No, not the Dundee variety, the Middle Eastern “minted as fuck” variety. At least, that was the story, if the deadline of noon yesterday was not met, which judging by the lack of ‘Rangers have been taken over’ articles around the web has quite possibly passed by in complete silence, interrupted only by the thunderous sound of a fly farting somewhere in the distance.
Kilmarnock, still managerless after the Tanned One decided that the budget available to him would result in a one-way ticket to Division One next season are courting Alex Rae, former Rangers midfielder and occasional Dundee manager. Rae, the man with a face that wouldn’t look out of place as a hard-man in a Taggart episode, was last seen in amongst the plastic cows in Milton Keynes where he did something vague with the local football club.
What else. Oh yeah. How could I forget. Aberdeen‘s glorious summer signing bonanza continues unabated as another player leaves the club. Mark Kerr, the popular and inspirational club captain has decided to take the hint and feck off to some outfit named “The Galacticos”. No, not that one, rather the one in Tripoli, Greece that narrowly avoided relegation last season. Clearly a step up then for Mr Kerr, of whom it is rumoured that the supporters paid for the taxi to nearest trawler.
Anyhow, with the lack of anything much happening, Inside Left is going into ‘holiday mode’. We’ve stripped down the site and will be updating only sporadically while we carry on with life, paying the bills, watching the paint grow and waiting for Kris Boyd to finally leave Rangers for some rubbish side (UPDATE: Turkish midtablers Trabzonspor and Kayserspor are both thought to be willing to pay around £1.5m for Boyd, along with £50,000 a week. Nice!)
We’ll be back full-time after the horror of the World Cup has passed us by and the preparations for next season get under way. In the meantime, The Scottish Football Blog takes a break from – as they put it – writing consumer guides to developments in the golf GPS device market (whatever that means -ed) to take a look back over Scotland’s escapades in the World Cup, while both Scotzine and WeKnowSFA can keep you up to date with the latest and greatest news about Scottish football.
Where do you want us to send the postcards?
