Poke the Blog is back

Well the rugby season begins in earnest again tomorrow with the Accies 1st and 2nd XV's heading up to Aberdeen to play AGSFPRFC.

I fucking love acronyms so without further ado, it gives me great pleasure to announce GTF IAB.

His coaching days were over at the Accies but over the course of the time he spent down at Raeburn Place, there is no doubting that he did a fantastic job and definitely saved the club from falling into the lower, national leagues. So still GTF but well done on saving and resurrecting our great club.

That's right we have a new coach and what a good feeling he and his team have built up in preseason.  Still, all the good feeling in the world won't mean jack unless we do the business tomorrow so here is hoping for two fine victories.

New coaches - Simon Cross, Andrew Easson, Bob Easson, Andrew Kelly, Chris Flockhart.
New players - plenty

Major media upheaval here also - http://www.edinburghaccies.com/

The new season means Poke the Blog is back so please keep following for regular nonsense about rugby and life in general.

So what has happened since my last post? Basically, loads. Barcelona 7's, wedding preparation, business start ups, breaking records at work, preseason, a few raucous nights out and the Edinburgh Festival. That is what I do.

So that is about it so as my old pal Fentoni used to say;

Bye for now!
