“Maybe.”

“That's good, because I've always fancied you.”

“Really?”

“Sure. Lovely little thing like you shouldn't be wasted on a young pup like Jimmy.”

He moved towards her and tried to slip an arm around her waist but she wriggled away.

“Tom! Not here!”

“Where then?”

“Nowhere, I’m Jimmy's WAG.”

“Jimmy's gone.”

“Well, you can't come over to my place, Jimmy might come back.”

“No, he won't.”

“How do you know?”

“Oh, I just think Jimmy's found the older woman he’s always been looking for.”

But unknown to Cynthia their tryst had been spotted by the manager, Fergus Alexander, who now challenged his player.

“Ah saw ye, sunshine, sniffin' roon' Jimmy's burd,” he barked.

“She was sniffing round me,” Balfour snivelled.

“A broken doon auld fullback like you? When she's got the club captain in her mitts.”

“Ah, but the club captain's not here.”

“An' she cannae keep her knickers on till he gets back?
