Bouncers should have no doubts this is about Barcelona not Hibs - like our maroon chums last year we are the daft wee nuisance team from a diddy league put there to be swept aside - nothing more. Barca enjoyed the training facilities at St Andrews and their players, officials and manager enjoyed the golf - that is whay they are in Scotland.

We may agree to play them but once Rod Petrie signs the deal the whole thing will be taken out of his hands by Barcelona's management company Platinum One. They will run the whole thing and market it lock stock and barrell and they'll take the bulk of the profit.

Platinum One will say the game is at Murrayfield, they want 50k not 18k - and they will negotiate to broadcast it thru Sky or Setanta - we will have no say whatsoever in this and there is no chance of the game being at Easter Road. Our job is to turn up at Murrayfield and play.

This is about marketing the Barca brand and selling the new Barca home and away shirts which naturally will be on sale at the stadium. I doubt Hibs will even be allowed to sell our new kits at Murrayfield from the same stalls as the Barca shirts will be sold from - we'll be relegated to some wee side stall.

Hardcore Hibs ST Holders will be given NO consideration here as its not about us - its more about the once a year attenders who watch their football on Sky..


Thank f**k I'm a Valencia fan!!
