Fictitious football conversation

Hi,

Hope some of you get a laugh out of the below.....now I know a lot of people may not know much about football (and particularly Scottish) but for those of you who do, maybe you'll get a chuckle!

Apparently relations between Aberdeen and Glasgow Celtic became strained during the run-up to the 2012/13 season after the following conversation between the then managers Craig Brown and Neil Lennon!

CB: Hello there Neil, it's Craig Brown from Aberdeen here.
NL: Hi Craig, what can I do for you?
CB: I want to offer you Jack for Watt.
NL: Excuse me? You want to offer me jack for what exactly?
CB: Exactly. You give us Watt and we'll give you Jack.
NL: What do you want me to give you for jack?
CB: I said we'll give you Jack for Watt.
NL: What?
CB: That's right. You give us Watt and we'll offer you Jack for him.
NL: Oh, you mean Tony Watt, right?
CB: Yeah, and we're going to give you Jack for him.
NL: You can feck off Craig. If you think we are going to give you one of our hottest young properties for jack sh*t you're seriously mistaken.
CB: For Jack's sh*t. That's not a very professional thing to say about a fine prospect.

At this stage both managers decide that it would be best if they just hung up!

Cheers pals!

I like the idea but that kind of thing has been done a lot before so it might need an extra unique kick to it - you also would have to have an indepth knowledge of football to realise what is going on - it could work on something like the Friday Football Special though

having said that Craig Brown has retired now so that would need updating
