Abstract

THE term deja vu — first coined by French philosopher Emile Boirac in 1876 — describes the rather bizarre sensation of recalling an event or moment in the present, when logic dictates it simply can't be possible. According to the general consensus among experts, around two thirds of us will experience the phenomenon at some point in our lives. For anyone associated with Hibernian Football Club, however, that figure probably seems a little low. After all, deja vu seems like a weekly occurrence for fans of the Easter Road club these days. During a wide-ranging interview with Sky Sports in midweek, executive director Ian Gordon admitted that he and the club had made several errors in recent years, from manager sackings to transfer disasters. The 34-year-old certainly talked a good game, and he deserves a fair amount of credit for refusing to assign blame elsewhere and for shouldering the sizeable burden of responsibility. Yet while his refreshing selfreflection should be commended, his promises regarding a better future had an air of familiarity about them. In other words, it's all been said before.
