Today in the Scotsman Mixu is discussing the pros and cons of entering the InterToto if we don't reach 4th, but on the Beeb, Uefa have refused the SFA proposal that losing Cup Finalists DONT qualify!! So now we need to get 3rd, or the cup final. And Motherwell aree on their way to beating Gretna.
I'm a fan of the InterToto. First two games are usually a doddle, and the second two come right before the League starts, so better than meaningless friendlies

Mmm, interesting. Hibs have never done nowt in the Intertattie, a waste of money trying to compete with unknown clubs, that are actually better, way better than us. Sad, but true. If we are not good enough to merit at least a UEFA Cup slot, through our league performance, WTF gives us the right to try and come in the back door, through the Intertattie? Leave that competition to the desperado yams. Rant over, and Mon the Hibs

Aye, knowing our luck, we would play somewhere in the UK, and dash the hopes of an extra sun tan for the year  |

Intertattie will do for me also.. but only after the Scottish Cup dream is over for another year... Until then we will enter Europe the as Scottish Cup winners... so stop all the negativity about the back door. We are Hibernian FC.  |

Quite right USA, I'm soooooooooooooo tempted to just "click" on that airfare for May 24th Cup final. Surely if I spent all that money, the Hibs would never let me down??

You could, and if they (blasphemy ahead, warning) lose  then at least you could go and commiserate in the Iona, surely? Not a wasted ticket at all. I'm not encouraging you, mind. Think how completely and utterly satisfying it will be to click on "purchase ticket" knowing full well why you're going BECAUSE THEY'RE IN THE CUP FINAL!!!! Mon Mon Mon the Hibs! |

Aye, but you end up spending more than can be potentially made, not good marketing. Still, who knows, maybe the makings of another blog, should we go into Europe |
