Ryotaro Meshino - Signs on loan

[Lord Beni of Gorgie]

No one has a clue. He could be brilliant or shite, just not enough evidence to tell us otherwise.

 

I obviously hope he is a smash hit, but the reality is, this will be a culture shock. It could simply depend on the personality of the boy and his mental strength, added to a desire to impress a new and critical audience.

 

Only time will tell

That's the way I see it.

 

Massive lifestyle changes for a young guy coming over here and has also just got married.

 

Hope she likes our city more than Mrs Lee.

 

Think he will either sink or swim tbh

So you are saying he might be good or he might not be good? Bold statement

You can shout any old abuse at this lad he won’t have a clue what you are saying.

No, I am saying that he will be a massive hit or he will be a big letdown.

 

As in sink or swim there will be no middle ground IMO.

 

How is that a bold statement ? Only saying what I think will probably happen with him.

 

Its a personal opinion which the last time I looked was allowed on the forum.

What do Scotsmen and the Japanese have in common? Well, they’re both island nations with large mountainous areas, a rich and varied warrior history that tends to be romanticised by pop culture, and they both love their fish. Perhaps this is a reason why Scotland’s sushi scene is doing so well - it’s basically aimed at the same demographic. Bonsai Bar Bistro in Edinburgh invites any Scottish Japanophile for some culinary tourism - this time half-price, thanks to this value voucher for two.

Found toward the Edinburgh Old Town’s eastern edge, this sushi deal allows Japanese cuisine enthusiasts to enjoy the entire menu, from the simple nigiri and sashimi to the elaborate multi-layered sushi rolls. Those of the Scots firmly believing that the fish needs to be cooked before eating needn’t fear: there are also dumplings, soups, agemono, and teppanyaki aplenty, as well as salad and pickles. Itadakimasu!

Yes, you have a UK passport. The UK has two distinct island parts making it up, hence why it says Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Just makes sense.

 

But also could be seen as a waste of money, like the light lamps for the pitch, the loans manager and Leveins 12 wages.

 

The way I see it, if a Japanese wants to read about Scottish things, they should learn to read Scottish.  Ryotaro Mechino was fair scunnert on the weekend, when the ref did heehaw aboot thon McKinnon blootering him up the erchie and gettin right up in his pus aw the time.  The wee man looked deid scared.  That walloper Madden is aboot as welcome at Tynie as a fart in a spacesuit.  A tanner baw player like wee Ryo needs protecshun.

Great Britain is the single land mass of Scotland, England and Wales. The British Isles is that plus all smaller islands but not Ireland or its islands. UK is the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland.

Not terms of whatever era, just geographic and national terms respectively. Scotland could easily be classified as a peninsula BTW. Spain and Portugal are one, as is Kintyre. I'm struggling to see how "peninsula" can be strongly argued against in this usage.

This confuses a lot of people (not having a go), but 

 The British Isles is a group of islands in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Continental Europe. It includes Ireland, Great Britain, the Isle of Man, Shetland, Orkney, and thousands of smaller islands.

It's a geographical term rather than a political one. 😉
