Rumours and Whingers and Occasional Optimism XXIX

[Kornstar]

Why should an entire squad be disrupted for one person? You are playing a game that requires you to be available every day of the week, it's not like you didn't know that.

Just wants the best of both worlds.......

I wonder if this is what his court case is about, discrimination on religious basis or something similar.

Agreed, why does he expect any special treatment???

Do Mormons believe in good Friday anyone?

They don't observe Lent, Ash Wednesday or Good Friday.

Ok thx

What I find interesting is he comes out with it now but not when he is negotiating his contract. And I know Des is being very supportive but I'd put money on him being pissed privately

It was reported earlier that des knew. But the team was never informed.

Last time Hoppa played in a GF on a sunday, he was sent on a mission for 2 years

 

[Bigfella]

Surely they got him cheap because des knew about this

My religion means I have to rest all 7 days.

We have quite a number of footballers who are religious and could very well hold similar beliefs. I understand why they said no to his request. Bulldogs agreed to it. They have Morris to come back and it won't really make a lot of difference for them.

There used to be a Jewish racehorse (Stargazer? Shaftesbury Avenue?) that didn't want to race on Saturdays. Or maybe it was his owners.

If the horse was smart enough to know which day of the week was Saturday, no wonder it wasn't keen on racing.... No sensible being wants to run around a big track with a midget on his back whipping its backside....

 

[hineyrulz]

The horse I have a share in Isnt keen to run on any day.

Before the contract was negotiated?

Wonder if that can be used in our favour in the court case? Probably not but the lawyers might try it on.

 

[IFR33K]

Before the contract was negotiated?

Yes. Look for the one of the first articles posted. I'm sure it said des always knew.

I don't think hoppa would be stupid enough to mention it to his coach or club now.

Fair enough then but it may be smart not stupid to mention it after the fact but I think hoppa has better morals then to mention it after signing a contract

If it's not in the contract surely refusing to work on Sundays constitutes a breach and justifies immediate termination?
