  1. Sigesige, you must also realise that Japan basically unilaterally declared war on the US and its allies in 1941, while we (the UK) were trying to stop the spread of Hitler's nazis. The Japanese saw the possibility of expanding their influence in Asia.

     

    You frequently claim to be against Japanese imperialism, so don't you think that people who died trying to stop that are worth 1 minute of respect each year?

     

    Well, you should understand the nature of the 2nd World imperialist war. I am not a left communist who see the USSR as an imperialist power, and I support Trotsky's position of the unconditional defense of the USSR. However, apart from the question of the USSR, the 2nd World War was an inter-imperialist war from which the international working class could get nothing. The claim of the "war against fascism" is a pure myth; in fact the "democratic" imperialist governments were accomplices of fascism. For example, Churchill, Roosevelt et al, who knew very well about what was happening in the Nazi death camps, did nothing to stop the Holocaust, and even refused all the German government's proposals to free them by the hundred thousand, because the transporting the Jews would hinder their war effort. There is no enough room for writing about the crimes of "democracy". As Trotsky clearly stated, the only policy towards the 2nd World War was revolutionary defeatism -- turn the imperialist war into civil war against the bourgeoisie.

  2. When I attended Firhill on Saturday and Murrayfield on Sunday, I was irritated by the silent prayer, because I have absolutely no sympathy for those who died for British imperialism.

    I remember that an African-American basketball player, who refused to attach the sign of mourning in the NBA game while the Gulf War, was sacked by political pressure.

    When 2 Japanese diplomats were executed in Iraq by the resistance force, I applauded the Iraqi resistance, but the so-called "anti-war" demonstration organisers refused my participation because of my placard applauding the execution.

    The same thing happened in South Korea. The anti-imperialists who applauded the execution of a Korean working for the US military as an Araibic translator were attacked in public.

    Several years ago, Hearts supporters did booing while the silent prayer for the Pope at Hampden. If I were there, I would have done the same thing.

    I support the "Show Racism the Red Card" campaign. However I cannot support any sort of ceremony supporting imperialism. Please tell me your opinion.

  3. The front few rows of the JH were covered over, right the way along the stand. So there's a few empty seats right away. Then bear in mind the segregation between the two sets of fans, thats another few seats. And as Twinny says, there were a few empty seats dotted about here and there.

     

    Kids for free are counted in the attendance, this has been stated many times.

     

    Questioning the attendance simply because you reckon it looked more than that, doesn't really cut it I'm afraid. Neither does backing up your point by saying "Derek Ferguson reckoned it was 7,000". He was in the gantry, looking down across the full stand. Not exactly the best position to gauge the attendance.

     

    By the way, are you Club Secretary?

  4. Finally, The 12th man. The supporters today were magnificent. The North stand sang all game and the JH were joining in too. Best atmosphere I have witnessed at Firhill for many a year. That performance from players and fans is the best advert you could wish for to bring back the lapsed fans. It will certainly get me back up the road again.

     

    I do not know game chants. Is there any music and lyrics site?

  5. And the GK jersey should be changed. The colours of GK and FPs were not different enough. Since the FP colour is almost yellow, the GK colour should be all red (red shirt, red short, red socks, and red head-gear if necessary).

    If that is not possible, GK could wear FP's purple away kits.

  6. But every silver lining has a cloud and Scott Fox’s injury is probably that cloud. Looked like a hamstring so he could be out for a few weeks.

     

    Yes, I hope his early return. I did not see much of the performance of the sub GK (there was no shot on target), but his long-licks were seen a bit short and inaccurate.

  7. Now the 7th Futsal World Cup in Thailand is going on. But I can find no information on Scottish/English papers. Probably Futsal is not very popular in the Anglo-Celtic Isles?

    The Japanese FA has tried to make this tournament popular by a legend Kazu, 45 years old, playing for the 2nd Division side Yokohama FC. He was the first FW of Japan's national team in the early 1990s, but Japan failed to qualify for the 1994 World Cup in the USA by Iraq's last minute goal from corner. This is called the "Agony of Doha".

    In 1997, Japan succeeded in qualifying for the 1998 World Cup in France by beating Iran after extra time in the final Asian play-off. Kazu played most of qualifiers, but finally was not chosen for Japan's squad for the World Cup tournament.

    Have Scotland ever qualified for the Futsal World Cup?

  8. Unfortunately I could not attend today's game for cough. Did the manager field the best players?

    The result 2-1 against the Highland League side is not very good; but we must concentrate on the must-win game next Saturday against the Pars.

  9. My request for strips:

     

    Sublimation print (washing machine and drying machine are OK)

    Player number on the front (below the logo) -- number on the shorts is hard to see

    Better supplier than Puma (I do not know the content of the contract with Puma, but there are many other good suppliers. For example, Asics is my hometown company. Or how about Rugby companies like Kukri and Samurai? They may welcome the chance of widening their business into Association Football.)

  10. According to the BBC website, Hearts are in a serious financial problem, although "administration is not on the agenda".

    Of course, "administration is not on the agenda" cannot be taken seriously.

    I was thinking that Dundee's relegation is almost certain, but the situation may change if Hearts are penalised for financial problem.

    I think that any club in administration must be automatically relegated to the lowest division.

    And in the case of "NewCo Hearts", there may be 2 promotions from the SFL1, like the last season.

     

    I think that the "Club 12" should have been Dunfermline, because the rule was "1 relegation from the SPL". Dundee would have been a much easier side for us.

  11. Are the Asian Games necessary?

     

    Well, I think that most of the Asian games are unnecessary, but some games (such as Karate) are necessary because they are not in the Olympics.

    However, I do not like the WKF Karate (light-contact) and am in favour of full-contact Karate.

  12. No, it's the Abbey.

     

     

     

     

    Sorry, I'll get my jaekit...

     

    In Japan I had over 100 accounts, but I stopped opening many accounts because that is useless and tiring.

    Now I have accounts at RBS and BoS. I am wondering about opening other accounts at Leeds Building Society, Dunfermline Building Society, Yorkshire Building Society, Scottish Building Society, Nationwide Building Society, TESCO Bank, Clysdale etc.
