literally cannot make this stuff up

Papiss Cisse has been refusing to wear the loan company Wonga-branded strip.

However, it has now emerged that the Senegal striker was spotted at Aspers Casino in the city in November.

His agent said that he was not a gambler, but a Muslim councillor said Cisse would be letting Muslims down just by visiting a casino.

Newcastle United is currently on a pre-season trip to Portugal, but Cisse pulled out, saying he was not prepared to promote the pay-day loans company, citing his religion, and instead offered to wear an unbranded strip.

Both charging interest on loans and gambling are considered unethical by Muslims.

'Wrong message'
A spokesperson for Aspers Casino described Cisse as "an occasional visitor" who was "very well behaved and very welcome", but would not confirm whether or not he placed any bets.

Madou Diene, the player's agent, said: "Papiss Cisse is not a gambler."

Newcastle city councillor Dipu Ahad has previously defended Cisse's stance on Wonga.

He said: "I feel absolutely ashamed of what he's done, there's not just me there's been other people who've been supporting him.

"But what he's done now, seeing him in the casino, even if he wasn't gambling, I think this gives a wrong message.

"People will say, 'look, this is Islam they can pick and choose whatever they want', and Islam isn't about picking and choosing."

Kopites of the north east.

The gift that keeps on giving
 
Surprise surprise, it was a ruse all along to initiate a transfer. :lol:
 

I fell in love with the barmaid in there 2 weeks ago. If he laid one finger on her...
 
He's only been twice.

First time to put a bet on that Párdéw wouldn't see out his contract.

Second time to put one on that Joe Pigsear wouldn't last 12 months.

He flatly refused the treble of finishing above Everton though saying "I'm Papiss not Djibrill ffs."
 

Lol @ EFCNIK wetting himself with the excitement over being given another chance to moan about a muslim, bet this will get dragged into your next muslim bashing exercise somehow.

If what I say is somehow meaningless 'muslim bashing' to you then there really isn't much more to say. Anyway modz have warned us all so let's not have another locked thread.

Papiss cisse- all the morals in the world when it suits him.
