    Thats the only symptom I have ever had, in bed at night, at work when no one would be talking to me, wondering should I try him up front, should I sell him off. Sad really.

    When your bored and conduct press conferences in your head where you are the manager and the interviewer.

    When you tell your mates about Irish players who you think are decent prospects even though you don't know what they look like, never mind seen them play.

    And to take it further again, when you think about what you would do if the BBC offered you a special guest role on the couch on match of the day. Would you take it or say no as your a pure football man who needs to concentrate on his team and not get involved in the circus of tv.
