What is Nerlingers?

A term used in Scottish soccer newsgroups to indicate unwarranted hyperbole attributing special skills or qualities, especially to soccer players, with little evidence to support them.

Formerly Nerlinger's Syndrome.
"This boy may only have played for half an hour but I've seen enough to suggest we have landed a future great."
"No, you are just afflicted with Nerlingers."
