The People's Chimp Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Players and directors of Hibernian FC last night expressed their shock as Chairman Rod Petrie continued on his downward spiral towards tragedy. Onlookers stared on in disbelief as Petrie sat at the foot of Leith Walk with a small McDonalds cup laid out in front of him, asking anyone who had the misfortune to pass to "spare some change." He had earlier been seen running amok in the kirkgate shopping centre uttering barely intelligible cries about "a big barn" "fiscal prudence" and "flair." Sources close to the club revealed that Petrie's descent began after his pet rabbit "romario" died after contracting killer disease mixumythtosis. After burying his stricken pet on a large and desolate piece of wasteland in East Lothian it would appear that something snapped deep inside him, causing the controller of hibs' purse strings to reveal several layers of hitherto unseen behaviour. Petrie, yesterday. Petrie had enjoyed high levels of popularity amongst the Hibs support after promising to "bring back the green book," a fabled Brazilian tome on which pele and socrates had modelled their playing styles. His position is now something of a mystery, as Hibs' hierarchy have refused to comment on whether there would still be a role for him at the football club, which prides itself on a number of firsts in Scottish football. His sudden fall from grace has been another hammerblow to the hibs faithful following the mass sale of anybody worth more than two bob, after being outclassed in the recent Edinburgh derby and following the shock defection of erstwhile favourite son and Easter Road poster boy, John 'Joan' Collins. Who knows where they will go from here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Maybe tomorrow he'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, he'll just keep moving on. Not the littlest hobo, but the tightest hobo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pants Shaton Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Good stuff. Maybe you could turn your skill for investigative journalism towards the 'Mystery of the disappearing Hibs fans' (March 14th 2004). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
