The Eye of Patrick

I was reading japanprobe.com and I noticed this article on Shunsuke Nakamaura. He is a Japanese player who is playing in Scotland for Celtic. The reason I found it was interesting, was because when I was in Russia on vacation I met him in the hotel I was staying at. Though just a brief encounter, it was my first time meeting someone famous. But from the article, it seems that Rangers was not so welcoming of their crosstown rivals star.

Celtic fans have been getting agitated about a banner brandished by Ran

gers fans bearing the legend ‘Nakamura Ate My Dog’.

Such faux outrage might have been more credible had the Japanese midfielder not been greeted on his early appearances at Celtic Park by the chorus: ‘He eats Chow Mein and he votes Sinn Fein’.

Dog, of course, is a Korean staple - at least, it was in more impoverished times - and the consequence of poor agricultural soil, although a recent survey revealed that seven per cent of Japanese respondents admitted to eating dog food, albeit a top-end brand associated with the British Royal Family.
