[CL] Champions League 2010/11 (27 Viewers)

[Delle Alpi]

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson will give Javier Hernandez a religious head's up before their Champions League visit to Rangers.

The People says Chicharito could be forced to abandon his pre-match Catholic prayer when Manchester United face Rangers in Glasgow on Wednesday week.

Deeply religious Hernandez – nicknamed Chico – kneels on the centre spot and prays *before kick-off in every game he starts. But it is believed United boss Ferguson – a former Rangers player – will advise the 22-year-old to ditch his ritual at Ibrox.

Rangers fans have already vowed on websites to target Hernandez if he goes through his normal routine and that will worry Ferguson who is anxious for United’s visit to pass peacefully.

Rangers officials say there is no question of them banning Hernandez from his usual pre-match routine, which he started in his native Mexico.

But he runs the risk of antagonising anti-Catholic Rangers supporters if he is included in boss Ferguson’s line-up when the teams meet at Ibrox.

If the news are right, then this is really sad. Can't people just accept each other religions and get rid of this hate

He would be stupid to do that though. I'm sure Ferguson will advise him which action to take.

 

[Martin]

Someone should tell them Santa doesn't exist.

 

[JuveJay]

A Catholic prayer in the centre circle at Ibrox?

 

[JBF]

He has every right to do what he believes in and he shouldn't be stopped because some idiots think their beloved club's identity revolves around a religious war.

Then he should not be suprised if a fan runs onto the pitch and beats him to death.

Which would be really disgusting thing to do, because idiots like those don't deserve to exist.

 

[JBF]

Then he should not be suprised if a fan runs onto the pitch and beats him to death.

Such a fan should be stabbed to death for simply being the retarded he is.

 

[Nicholas]

The simple thing to do would be to avoid the ritual.

 

[JBF]

It's not the right thing though.

 

[Nicholas]

I'm not saying it's right but under the circumstances that could follow it would be for the best.

 

[JBF]

Well we're gonna see for ourselves whether he's gonna let it go or rebel and actually do it. It's gonna be interesting to say the least

 

[Delle Alpi]

It's not like Hernandez is Scottish catholic and doing it to piss of those stupid incompetent rangers fans. A little common sense in those tiny brains would definitely help

Hey Chicarito, the Pope lives in Italy just so you know

He has every right to do what he believes in and he shouldn't be stopped because some idiots think their beloved club's identity revolves around a religious war.

If he wants to then he should go ahead with it, fuck what the Ranger's fans think.

 

[Fred]

I hope he does his prayer.

 

[Delle Alpi]

Then having a picture of the Pope under his shirt, and just reveal it once he scores

 

[JBF]

A celtic jersey would be even better.

I'm so annoyed over this ceremonial praying on a football pitch, be it catholic or muslim it's freaking annoying. Can't they do it inside the dressing room, on their own time? What's the point of doing the whole ceremony on the pitch in front of everybody? Does it have a better effect or something?

I don't mind people doing a quick trinity cross(or how you say it in English), bow for a second or something, for good luck or so, but this whole ceremonial ritual of getting on the ground and praying, bowing, etc. is just too much.

Now I was born and raised Catholic, am not much religious though, and from what I know, you practice religion for yourself, not for 50,000 people at a stadium.

 

[JBF]

I think they do it for psychological purposes, it may relief him from stress and actually comfort him. Whatever maybe the reason, anyone should be entitled to do whatever prayer he wants as long as it's harmless to everyone else and by that I mean physically not emotionally.
