Paatelainen revealed the opportunity to sign the Japan stopper came about "just through my contacts"."It's not everyday that that calibre of player is out of contract at this time of year but, luckily for us, that's the situation," added the Finn.

Fingers crossed MIXU has more contacts of this calibre and this boy lives up to his billing.

 

According to Japan Arab who posts on Mad the new goalies name is pronounced,
"A-G Ka-wa-shee-ma".
If so the only song I can think of for a deserved chant  is to the tune of ohhhh ohh ohh oohhh
Dundee United.


Ohhhh ohhh ohh ohhhhh
A-G Ka-wa-shee-maaaaaa
A-G Ka-wa-shee-ma
A-G Ka-wa-shee-ma
A-G Ka-wa-shee-maaaaaa

Ohhhh ohhh ohh ohhhhh

And repeat...

"He got some stick in Belgium before".

For poor performances?

Not stick for performance--some opposition fans were going on about the nuclear disaster while he was playing. He's no shrinking violet so should be exactly what we're needing. Glad to find out his English is decent too(unlike nakamura at Celtic), would be a nightmare if not I reckon. All good though.

First name Eiji is pronounced as "A.G " or "Eh jee ". Basically it rhymes with cagey. Second is just as it looks , "ka-wa-shee-ma"
Not sure of a chant--I'll leave that to more talented people than me. One worry would be him getting released for international duty for stuff like the Asian championship etc. I guess he's done it before though.

Kawashima was a shed boy from the beginning. The team he first played for...

We need a Shed flag with black background and the rising sun with rays extending to the edges in tangerine!

Oi Bowers, as if I was not traumatised enough by us getting the complete run around last night, the picture I have in my head of you as Boy George singing

Edgy Edgy Edgy Edgy Edgy Ka-wah-shee-ma
(Karma karma karma karma karma Cameleon)
He's Japanese, he's Japanese
(You come and go You come and go)

Is priceless.  Dunno of that was what you intended, but it was what came to my warped mind when I saw yer post!!! 




The flag idea is quality with tangerine replacing red and black replacing white.  YOU COULD ALSO PUT THE OLD SCHOOL UNITED LION IN BLACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TANGERINE SUN?



Suggest we run this past the flag committee (Hunted and Pat!!!) 


 

Aberdeen tried ti use that flag as a display in league cup final and police refused it saying it was political.

They got to do it at pittodrie though.

It's been a nice diversion after the game last night right enough:



Mind you, if my grandpa was still alive, he'd have something to say about this. He'd be about 125 years old now.
