Lennon is loser baby all but for Mulgrew

The Diary wonders if the Irish would have been just as farcical as the French.

Not only did the middle earning British public lose out today but Neil Lennon could be forgiven if he was looking like Danny Alexander – who looked as if he was being poked up the arse with a bog brush held by David Cameron during the budget – tonight after we learned that “Lenny loses out” and he was “hit by double set back in transfer deals“.

He won’t look that bad. No-one else looks like the the Irn Bru kid, after a month eating only Greggs and a lifetime of Ritalin.

We learn that Mohammed ‘Gedo’ Nagy has “slipped through their signing net” after Al Alhy “put up £800,000 plus players to thwart their plans.”

In what will turn this into this Diary into something resembling a load of gingers fighting in a muddy paddling pool, dressed only in slinky bikinis, over tins of Spam, the news that Charltons Nicky Bailey “has been given permission to talk to Gordon Strachan” and that “Scunthrope star” Gary Hooper is “close to agreeing a 4 year deal” with Middlesbrough will be made to feel more welcome than a Lib Dem activist on your doorstep.

The strange notion that Cillian Sheridan could be wandering around Sofia aimlessly, complete with translation book, digital camera and looking for an ATM to use his Passport card has been cast. “Early negotiations have begun and we hope something concrete will come from them” Emil Kostadinov, Sporting Director of CSKA Sofia, thus proving that they don’t watch St Johnstone games in Bulgaria.

I’ve felt more loss when I dropped a Wine Gum down the back of a couch.

Still, I have the thought of another left back to ridicule arriving to numb that feeling of loss and to make up for lack of black Wine Gums. Mark McGhee told the Aberdeen Press and Journal – before the busy agricultural show season – that “I really want to wish Charlie all the best at Celtic.” letting the cat out of the bag.

“You don’t often get a second chance at a club like that” Dingus continued. Well, you do at a club that signs Mo Camara, Lee Naylor, Danny Fox and Edson Braafheid.
