With all the hullabaloo around Cisse refusing to wear the shirt on religious grounds, it seems he has caved in and now will wear the shirt.
Could this be because he was caught in a casino?
Was the casino bit planned?
Seems a bit stupid now to kick up a fuss. What do you think was spoken behind closed doors to get him to agree?
(Why is this on the Manchester United board? Because there is only Andy Carrot on the Newcastle board)
Cisse will wear Wonga shirt

What's the point in him going in to a casino and not gambling? It's like taking your own sandwiches into KFC - makes no sense!

He didn't have a leg to stand on really after being pictured in a casino.

Remember when Andy Carrol was injured cause he fell off a stool in a casino? He really didn't have a leg to stand on.

As we've seen in the past and will no doubt see again in the future football is no place for morals.
As for non-United based articles on the United page, i consider myself to be a football fan and will hapilly discuss all aspects of the game with anyone. People who only care about United and nothing else concerning football i find strange, why limit your intrest to just one team?

I think everyone has the right to practice their religion as they see fit and Cisse could quite easily have had a moral objection to Wonga, however not felt as strongly about gambling in a casino.
=================================
But he didn't state it that way did he? He made a big deal out of it being because of his religious beliefs, not just a 'moral objection'.
He then proceeded to do something that very much contradicts his religious beliefs.
Okay, he's done nothing illegal but it makes him look a hypocritical moron.
There is also a pretty strong argument that Casinos are just as harmful to society as a short term loan deal.
In the majority of cases short term loans probably help people using them. In the majority of casino visits, the house wins. It could be be argued that Casinos prey on an addiction as well.

I'm sorry but did I miss something, but don't ALL religious people pick and choose the tenets of their religions based on their individual morality?
If a Catholic has intercourse before does that mean he/she forfeits the right to condemn adultery and prostitution?
If a Jew eats pork does that mean he cannot campaign against the causes of obesity?
If a Muslim drinks has he no right to work against the proliferation of heroine?
Frankly those that say Cisse's gambling makes him a hypocrite are bigoted, whether they realise it or not, because he's only as hypocritical as everyone else.
Gamboling ans usury are completely different; one seeks to separate a fool and his money, whereas the other makes financial slaves or forces homelessness on the already poor and desperate. I know which I think is the greater evil.
I support Cisse in his objection to Wonga and frankly the media that have condemned him are in the latter's pocket. Furthermore I fear that they have turned the public against Cisse so easily is a portrayal of the latent Islamophobia so prevalent throughout our society x

^EDIT should read "If a Catholic has intercourse before MARRIAGE does that mean he/she forfeits the right to condemn adultery and prostitution?"
ALSO should read "heroin" the drug not a female super hero x
