“Rape of Nanjing” of 1937-38 – a slaughter of up to 300,000 people

I researched this attrocity after watching 'The Flowers Of War'. This was a harrowing war with some of the most beastly creatures to ever grace the planet. You can't even call them human.

I saw Simon Donnelly buying Ryvita in Morrisons in East Kilbride this evening

Sounds like a right fan dan. Everyone knows yer meant to binge on fats and salts in close season. And this guy isn't even playing. Sounds like a Gerry Britton wannabe. What next? A law degree and trying to get Garry O'Connor off the hook for being a brain dead, powder snortin, honey monster in a sharp suit. f*ckin ryvita.
Sorry, I didn't actually see him buy them but he was browsing them.

And to be fair, they're on special just now.
Oh hud me back, Emirates are doing a special to the UK right now.

And who the fcuk is Carl Finnegan?
Grew whiskers on his chinnegan. etc.

Carlton f*cking Finnegan, beginagain.

(Talk elsewhere of Liverpool failure Danny Wilson. Dunno if that solves the problem, unless he can play centre forward.)

There's a Members Only group on Facebook. I could say they are all definitely members, but wouldn't stoop so low.

Ah, so I'd have to out myself as a Utd fan on Facebook to get involved.

I take it the level of commentary is on a par with the erudite thoughts posted on the official club's posts then?

You have to out yourself as a United fan and join ArabTrust.

They're all mental, there's a level of optimism not seen since David Murray mooted that floating pitch at Snake Mountain. So far they have us signing not only Goodwillie but Christophe Berra, Stephen McManus, Danny Wilson, Morgaro Gomis and Prince Buaben, even though we refused to pay a living wage to Willo Flood.

They also reckon "In Jackie We Trust" even though his two signings we've seen so far have been Rory Boulding and that Swedish bloke. Doesn't fill me with hope that the our Partick Thistle mid-20s journey or the wee boys from Queens Park are going to thrust us top six and beyond personally. But apparently that only shows I'm "depressed".

For me, In Jackie The Jury's Oot.

I think we need to back him- there's not much money - only us.

We have to, of course. But do we have to believe he's the Messiah after he signed Pavel Mihajduks II?

Anyway, the zoomers over at ArabTrust are convinced Goodwillie returns today. Note of caution, they were also convinced Stephen McManus was signing on June 6th.

Aw well, sometimes you can't blame supporters for being optimistic, though I share their 'glass half-full' attitude to new Managers (and certainly one that says a lot of the tight things, had a great career himself, and is only now able to work with a group of players he's chosen himself and have his own pre-season etc) I'm realistic enough to know we ain't going to be signing many players from that wishlist.

Would perhaps say it's a bit unfair to judge Jackie on the 'out of contract' scraps he signed while the season was going on, so will be interested to see how the Partick Thistle and Queens Park players he's signed do this season, as they'll give a better indication of his ability to identify talent and train and motivate a player?

There's not much we can do but wait for now, and see what shape we're in start of season. I don't expect we'll be much improved from current, but the addition of a couple of players is clearly needed.

Until we can see how the new players compare, hard to tell if McNamara's eye is any good or not for us when he's buying in the planning stage rather than the emergency mentality.
