True story this:

 

Roberto Clemente, who played for the Pittsburgh Pirates, used to cross himself before stepping up to bat. One game he was facing Al Hrabosky, who was known as the Mad Hungarian.

 

Clemente crossed himself and stepped in. Hrabosky stomped down off the mound, glared at Clemente, crossed himself twice, and stomped back to the pitchers mound.

 

So I would do one of two things:

 

a) toss garlic at him

b) have Dirk perform a haka

 

Naah you want Suarez, Bellamy & Carroll doing it !

 

Mad, bad & dangerous to know !

Nothing. Not about his praying anyway. I did when I first saw it a year ago but the only thing I've said about him this season is he shouldn't be allowed to have his shitty nickname on his shirt and it makes him a twat.

 

Odd thread.

 

Thought the same la. Remembered that match round up, not heard anything since tho.

Lay off Chicarito Dave.

Who knows what his problems are back home and, let's face it, he's far from a Rooney, Giggs or Ferdinand (or Bury face Neville).

 

Who knows what he's praying for back home. Until he shows himself to be a proper cunt and scores against us then I can accept Chicarito and his prayers.

 

Are you suggesting that his family are involved in a Mexican drug cartel and he is praying for their safety? That's some racial profiling ability you got going on.

 

PS Bury Face? That is the most dismal insult ever typed on a keyboard

If prayer is between a man and his God, then by all means pray as much, and as often as you feel to do so. But why would you get on your knees in the middle of a football pitch in front of thousands of people, (who haven't come to pray), and millions more on TV and the internet, and start doing it?

 

It seems to be a bit more of a "look at me everyone, I'm praying!!!" moment, than a humble, quiet, reflective moment between a man and his Creator. It would also seem to be no coincidence then, that same player would have a non-regulation nickname on the the back of his shirt, even though none of the other players in the division are allowed to do so.

 

In summary. He is a complete "attention whore", and it's only because he plays for the scum that he can get away with it.
