「我離港前到過一間精神科醫院。當時有位病人禮貌地問,一個以作為世上最悠久民主政體而自傲的國家,如何能夠將此地交給一個政治制度非常不同的國家,且既沒諮詢當地公民,又沒給予他們民主的前景,好讓他們捍衞自己的將來。一個隨行同事說,奇怪,香港提出最理智問題的人,竟在精神科醫院。」彭定康 金融時報

“During a visit to a mental hospital before I left Hong Kong, a patient politely asked me how a country that prided itself on being the oldest democracy in the world had come to be handing over his city to another country with a very different system of government, without either consulting the citizens or giving them the prospect of democracy to safeguard their future. Strange, said one of my aides, that the man with the sanest question in Hong Kong is in a mental hospital.”Chris Patten Financial Times

落手落腳

落手落腳



連日來睇 NBA 籃球總決賽,又睇 Euro 08足球決賽週,兩個賽事,
一邊用手~交手,一面用腳~較腳。


以現今體壇最多人睇的兩種球類,最普偏,最多人參與,用手的首推 籃球 basket ball,用腳的首推 足球 football/ soccer,而最高水準的比賽,有時並不是國家隊對國家隊對賽,而是個別球會單位的對賽。


籃球的最高水準比賽,我個人認為應是美國的 NBA籃聯 playoff 季後賽,可能有人認為 奧運籃球,籃球世界錦標賽,兩個賽事的水準也不差,但無謂爭拗,我只是認為 NBA球隊集齊世界籃球精英,互補不足,而且長期一齊比賽,球員間默契會比代表國家隊比賽時,拉集成軍的合作更佳。


同樣理由,拉集成軍的足球員,組成國家隊參加,世界杯足球錦標賽,歐洲國家杯,南美國家杯,都可能不及歐聯 Champion League高水準。需要補充的還有,全世界的足球精英都到歐洲搵食,大都參加歐洲四大聯賽,球隊多有幾個外援,有來自東歐的,來自南美的,比比皆是。


足球是由雙方各十一個球員,在一個長110–120碼,闊70–80碼的足球場 比賽,球門的內框是 8碼闊 8呎高。

維基百科: The length of the pitch for international adult matches is in the range 100–110 m (110–120 yd) and the width is in the range 64–75 m (70–80 yd). Fields for non-international matches may be 91–120 m (100–130 yd) length and 45–91 m (50–101 yd) in width, provided that the pitch does not become square.


The longer boundary lines are touchlines or sidelines, while the shorter boundaries (on which the goals are placed) are goal lines. A rectangular goal is positioned at the middle of each goal line.The inner edges of the vertical goal posts must be 7.3 m (8 yd) apart, and the lower edge of the horizontal crossbar supported by the goal posts must be 2.44 m (8 ft) above the ground. Nets are usually placed behind the goal, but are not required by the Laws.

In front of each goal is an area known as the penalty area. This area is marked by the goal line, two lines starting on the goal line 16.5 m (18 yd) from the goalposts and extending 16.5 m (18 yd) into the pitch perpendicular to the goal line, and a line joining them. This area has a number of functions, the most prominent being to mark where the goalkeeper may handle the ball and where a penalty foul by a member of the defending team becomes punishable by a penalty kick. Other markings define the position of the ball or players at kick-offs, goal kicks, penalty kicks and corner kicks.


籃球是雙方各五個球員在一個 92呎 x 50 呎的籃球場比賽,籃框是十呎高,圓週比一個標準比賽用的籃球略大小許。


維基百科:A regulation basketball court in international games is 28 by 15 meters (approx. 92 by 49 ft) and in the NBA is 94 by 50 feet (29 by 15 m). Most courts are made of wood. A steel basket with net and backboard hang over each end of the court. At almost all levels of competition, the top of the rim is exactly 10 feet (3.05 m) above the court and 4 feet (1.2 m) inside the baseline. While variation is possible in the dimensions of the court and backboard, it is considered important for the basket to be of the correct height; a rim that is off by but a few inches can have an adverse effect on shooting.

There are also regulations on the size a basketball should be. If women are playing, the official basketball size is 28.5" in circumference (size 6) and a weight of 20 oz. For men, the official ball is 29.5" in circumference (size 7) and weighs 22 oz.


好明顯足球的球門比籃球的框,大了很多陪,但一場足球入球的頻率,比籃球的入球頻率,卻差了很多陪。足球如果雙方夾埋有五球進門,已經是大上落,但籃球的得分是一百幾十分,即是雙方夾埋,射入成百球,用手比用腳好很多,成功率是相差那麼大的,令我想一想後,落手是否真的好過落腳。

無疑 西班牙打出了漂亮一仗
可惜 善唷一向都是虎頭蛇尾
暫時 未敢預測邊一隊最有機
還是 不做擁躉欣賞每場好波
