    The Maroon Unit.

    After about five minutes of solid laughing I've only now just composed myself enough to post.

    http://www.hmfckickback.co.uk/index....e-maroon-unit/

    I've always stayed on the right side of the law because I was told that this is what would happen to you if you found yourself in Saughton with the wrong cell-mate.


    Come on, own up

    Edit: link not working too well.

    Surely there isn't an atmosphere problem at the world famous Tynecatle? The most intimidating, atmospheric and downright loud stadium in the universe.

    I have to say I'm shocked.

    Even if there is a problem I'm surprised they are going about it this way.

    After all, this is the group of supporters who have been ridiculing "ultras" and trying to convince themselves that they don't need anything like this...all because we have had successful groups who have enhanced atmospheres.

    Sorry guys, you're a little bit too late lol

    They also have another excellent thread arguing the merits (or otherwise) of the Hello Hello song..............

    Too much time on their hands

    When I seen the thread title I thought the NHS were finally opening a unit to treat the many victims of the nasty condition known as maroon, a horrible turd brown / red mix which afflicts a huge number of victims.

    The true numbers, often referred to as the hidden famous, could be anywhere between 11,000 and up to 400,000 though statistics are distorted by inability to truly add up.

    A further distorting factor is that however large the afflicted population, they are all descended from the same two siblings thus making it difficult to tell if the bloated purple appearance and irrational tendency to be in complete denial of everything is a product of inbreeding or the condition. Many are simply victims of skin affliction due to wearing too much nylon / polyester as a result of being in the same trackies and jaundice / pink coloured away top for months.

    However it comes about and whatever it's for it's a great idea to have them all in one place for fumigation and easier identification to claim rewards from crimestoppers.

    Would have been so much simpler if they'd just stuck with the maroon balloons.

    Still on the Yam theme, I see Igor Rossi is off to warmer climates.

    Is this all part of the lap-top man's restructuring or more to do with Mrs Budge re-budgetting .

    I'm sure I read that Rossi was a cult-hero at the PBS.

    I think he was one of those that wore thick woolen gloves to keep his hands warm. Couldn't take our winter cold any more. Didn't want to man up. Probably suits baby face IC who will look to bring in more Northern Irish or Newcastle bums.

    Let's face it, Hearts season is now just three words: The Scottish Cup

    Cathro will be visiting Starks Park, rusty after a 3 week break, on a cold January day, with his whole season relying on a defence that have never played before.

    I really think it'll be another 110 years til hearts win the Cup again. Karma.

    'Anyone who thinks there's no problem with the atmosphere at Tynecastle over the past 3 seasons hasn't been'

    Happy 3rd Birthday to 'Playing-within-your-means' !

    And it's only going to get better ....................... for every single Hibee and all the rest of the 'Smaller clubs' and their fans who the Maroon-muppets once looked down upon with scorn and ridicule, from their throne built upon 'Other people's - and Charities - money' !!


    But sadly, NOT for them

    Is it just me or does Maroon Unit not sound like a parody of Green Brigade or something?

    They must be desperate for some kind of atmosphere in Gorgie.

    😁

    What else might you call a gathering of yams all in one place?

    Oddly shaped maroon vegetables unit.

    Makes it sound like a specialist wing for the more challenged residents of the Royal Edinburgh.
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

    Inevitably it will be "big" ones but you're right

    Mothers of invention? Could have been written for the pre administration yams but looking at dear frank below he's got to be a hibby

    Let's face it he's no Ronnie Corbett

    In all fairness, plenty on that thread are worried it would collapse into a sectarian/racist mess, as the lunatic fringe would be drawn to it likes flies to s***. Their mini hun element would have control of it within two minutes.
