Hibs

I’ve just been and renewed my season ticket for the (once and soon to be again, I hope) mighty Hibernian football club of Edinburgh. We’ve just got a new manager (Tony Mowbray) and although it is his first managerial role, he is a highly respected coach and I believe it is a fairly insightful and innovative appointment by the club. That’s not to say that it could all still go wrong, but it has certainly fired the imagination of the support moreso than most of the other alleged candidates did.

In other news, Hibs now also have an RSS feed of their official news stories (updated daily during the season, and every couple of days at the moment). Possibly one of the first official football feeds anywhere?

Final football related note: Euro 2004 starts this weekend, and I’m looking forward to it. Although this marks the end of the season for most people, it will actually overlap with the beginning of the new Hibs season! The reason for this is that Hibs have entered the Intertoto Cup, and will play their first game on July 3, the day before the Euro 2004 final.
