Best of luck with it Red and White.

A mate of mine was drafting a sit com recently. The premise was that an International Football Association appoint a complete novice to manage the team.

In each episode, the team and management find themselves in zany, Keystone Cops style scenarios with hilarious results.

I told him, no offence, but it seemed a bit too far fetched.

Hey, I've seen that. I've gotta say, the acting is superb. Very convincing.
