I don't quite understand how Sissoko can fast and Juve be alright with it. The work done beforehand (training & preparation) is wasted if the diet regime is not in order. If you are employed to do a specific job and you can't do it for religious reasons...why are you still getting paid? It's unfair on the team and others that this happens every year...I would be rather annoyed if I was the coach that's for sure.

We've all been through this already. And after everyone called Sissoko unproffessional and what not, he came out and said that he did not fast for Ramadan.

even if he is fasting in ramadan isn't it the juve medical staff's job to find him a quit good diet to work things out? there are many fasting players all around th world and if lower level teams found a way to work it out with their players why can't we do the same ?

    if you read back quite a few pages there were several links with direct quotes from Mohammed himself.
    100 pages of mostly drivel...way too much...never heard of this before. I was under the impression he fasted..Does he mention whether he stopped this year or if he has ever in fact fasted during a season?

    I can't remember, but when journalists asked him if his fasting was affecting his performances on the pitch for Juve, he said that he was not fasting.

    No, he was. I am fairly certain he fasted last year for about 30 days. He even admitted he felt weary as a result.

    bitch peasant please. It's not your place to contradict my statements..
    I thought kings were supposed to be intelligent. Stop posing, the only thing you reside over is the Land of Misfit Toys.

    He fasted. Bottom line, I am right. Go seek one of your advisers King Tut

    No, that is not true. He did indeed fast during Ramadan, admittedly.

    Hustini got it right.

    Type 'ramadan' into the thread search thing and all shall be revealed.


    Some reports said he fasted, some said he didn't.

    Believe what you want to believe.
