    like many footballers .. spoilt brats with too much time and money on their hands .. Whelan should know better, Jones needs to calm down .. if he showed that much passion on the field, Stoke could be a few places further up the table

    Glenn Whelan against Kenwyne Jones? Oh dear Glenn, you'd best not think Kenwyne is paying for Autoglass for that!

    From the name of his girlfriend, it appears that Kenwyn is a Muslim, so its more serious than just a prank...

    Reminds me of a school trip to Wales a couple years back.

    What with my school being religious by name, but definitely not by nature, we had been taught a fair bit about other faiths.
    Few kids in my year found out that the other school staying on the site with us was Muslim.
    They raided the kitchen late at night for pork related items, and the next day launched sausages, rations of bacon, packets of ham etc through the open windows and into their rooms, with the other school off site at the time.

    They simply went absolutely mental when they returned to their rooms, they genuinely looked like they wanted catholic blood, and most of us hadn't even found out why at the time.
    Then within about an hour of the discover we'd been told to leave because the staff their couldn't guarantee our security.

    Yep but silent addick is suggesting that jones is a Muslim cos his bird is. I'm just trying to point out that a practical joke doesn't have to have a racist undertone.

    His missus talks about being "sensitive to beliefs" and "religious beliefs" which would suggest he is a Muslim. If so them Whealan and co can count themselves lucky it was only a car window that got caved in.

    Sounds like a dodgy prank to me. Whelan must have some idea that Jone's missus is a Muslim and so would be sensitive even if he is not of that faith. Some footballers are bloody stupid.

    My personal stance on religion is live and let live, if someone's views don't lead them to harming or discriminating against others then they are welcome to those views. You don't do something as needlessly stupid and antagonistic as Whelan did.

    LOL, and timely as this thread was getting a bit heavy...

    She moves in mysterious ways. Tell him to brush his teeth ten times on his knees and send a donation out of his pocket money to the toothless of Bermondsey. ;-)

    I think that Whelan should thank his lucky stars that he is not going to have several visits from the tooth fairy this week.

    Press charges for criminal damage...or is it ok to act like tht if someone offends your made up make believe fairy tale beliefs?

    Whelan shouldn't have done it but religion is no excuse to act like a vandal

    If Jones is a Muslim, then the 'prank' is disgusting.

    Everyone should be able take a joke, but to disrespect somebody's religious beliefs is well over the top.

    Maybe Whelan (if it was him) is just a bit naive, but he should be diciplined and maybe given some lessons in different faiths and religions!

    Before we all get too sympathetic with 'the muslims' remember that recently someone in Saudi was flogged and jailed for converting a muslim to Christianity.

    my point .. Islamists generally do not give a fuck about anyone else's beliefs and creeds .. why all the sympathy because a supposed muslim is hurt by a practical joke ... spare some thought for the thousands of Christians who are being persecuted in 'islamic states' ... that mush IS MY POINT .. GOT IT?
