Glasgow Rangers Manager flies to Baghdad to watch a young Iraqi play
football, and is suitably impressed and arranges for him to come over
to Scotland..
Two weeks later the Rangers are 4-0 down to Aberdeen with only 20
minutes left.
The Manager gives the young Iraqi striker the nod, and on he goes.
The lad is a sensation and scores 5 goals in 20 minutes and wins the
game for Rangers.
The fans are delighted, the players and coaches are delighted and the
media love the new star.
When the player comes off the pitch, he phones his Mum to tell her
about his first day in Scottish football.
'Hello Mum, guess what?' he says in an Iraqi accent.
'I played for 20 minutes today, we were 4-0 down but I scored 5 and we
won. Everybody loves me, the fans, the media they all love me'.
'Wonderful', says his Mum, 'let me tell you about my day. Your father
got shot in the street and robbed, your sister and I were ambushed,
gang raped and beaten, and your brother has joined a gang of looters
and all while you were having such a great time'.
The young lad is very upset.
'What can I say Mum, except that I am very sorry?'
Sorry?!!!' says his Mum. 'It's your F**king fault we moved to
Glasgow in the first place'!!
