Fat Control!

Big Davey Jeffreys was a worried man, here he was the manager of the most successful Irish league club, Linfield, but how was he to attract the best talent to Windsor Park. Linfield, contrary to popular belief, are not the biggest payers in our wee province, plus despite a lot of effort (well they try to make you think they're making an effort), they are still a 'bigoted' sectarian club. He went crying to his bosses at Linfield (sorry the I.F.A., one and the same after all) and they came up with the ludicrous idea of an under-23 Irish league select team under the management of the 'fat controller himself'. With three away games and three home games Davey was confident of getting the best possible chance to 'run the rule' over developing talent and convincing the 'cream' that Windsor was the best place to develop their talent. This is the only logical conclusion I can come to as why else would he include our keeper Paul Murphy on his panel of players. I somehow don't think that Murphy will opt to play for Norn Iron if the chance arises, so why bother with him at all. The reason once more is the fact that Big Davey is short of goalkeeping cover at Windsor Park and Murphy would fit the bill very nicely. United Captain Albert Watson has been under the Linfield microscope for some time now and he is due out of contract in August next year. That means the United board will have to be careful in their dealings with their team Captain, one slip by them and the 'Belfast Blues' will be ready to pounce. Or will they I wonder, if they had wanted Albert, I believe they'd have taken him already, he may in fact be the 'lure' to catch an even bigger fish and may be left 'high and dry' come the summer, either way one can be sure, Linfield will not miss out!
