The “shi-shi” chant of Scottish supporters is relatively new and started
as a result of some hardcore supporters getting excited about appearing
on the stadium’s jumbotron. This particular group of fans, when
noticing someone from their group being shown on the screen would try to
quickly alert him so that he could also see. Unfortunately by the time
they looked around and spotted him and informed him it would normally be
too late and the screen would be showing the game again. So in an
effort to receive immediate and full attention of all members of their
group, they decided that every time one of them appeared on the screen
to chant “shi-shi”, an inside code for them all to look at the screen.
In one of the games following this particular arrangement as chance had

“shi-shi” in unison. Fans sitting around them, either as a way of
ridiculing them or simply for amusements purposes, joined in and would
also chant “shi-shi”, whether or not any of the fans were being shown on
the screen. This gradually spread out to the whole stadium as most fans
simply assumed this was a way of cheering on the Scottish national
team. It is thus that today throughout Scotland’s games, the “shi-shi”
chant can be heard repeatedly and for long stretches of the game and has
developed into an irreplaceable bit of Scottish soccer fan culture.

On the other hand her knowledge of medical jargon could make her words seem foreign to Kurt. “He’s sustained two injuries. The first one was right on impact, his brain was shaken around pretty badly. It might have even rotated and perhaps nerve fibers were stretched and veins and arteries might have torn too. The second one is an open wound where the skull broke. The brain is exposed in that area. He was probably hit by some kind of sharp object during the collision.” Stacey unsuccessfully tried to disguise a horrifying yelp that she let out. “It's possible the area around the wound is undamaged. He might be facing long-term disabilities. He’s lost a lot of blood and his blood pressure has really dropped from the trauma. He’s really weakened by the blood loss. Plus there’s the loss of oxygen to the brain. The damage may be catastrophic. And then there’s infection…” “When w...
