Ben Jervis ?@jervisben 7m @theestockbomb KJ is Rastafarian they don't eat meat especially pork #racism Presuming that Glenn knew that. Would he know he's a Rastafarian? He probably should but I wouldn't put it past him if he didn't. I didn't know but then I aren't his team mate. And then would Whelan know that Rastafarians aren't fans of pork? Again I suspect not. And again I didn't. Things like this are why I've learnt to keep my trap shut because too many people have there own beliefs that I know nothing about. It's a fucking minefield out there. I think Whelan would have known - that's why he did it ....

It happens.

I couldn't give less of a shit about this to be honest. Footballers are thick. Always have been and always will be.
Give them all a pair of boxing gloves and lock them in a room for a few hours.

The players must spend a lot of time cooped up together, dressing rooms, trains, coaches etc. It's a bit hard to imagine that at some point Jones hasn't been asked about his beliefs.

I repeat kj is one of the most placid men u could meet, this is either a deliberate attack on his beliefs or a culmination of some pent up frustration with someone. To make him react like that he must have suffered grave offence because that's just not kj. KJ is a miserable bellend. He's a complete twat. Should have stuffed it down his throat the self important cock.

For 3 seasons Whelan & KJ have been part of a tightly knit group of people, they'll have spent loads of time in each other's company, eaten together, worked together. If KJ is a devout Rastafari and would find eating or touching meat deeply offensive, it is inconceivable that the other members of the squad wouldn't know this.

It happens. If he didnt know then it shows a lack of cohesion on the teams behalf. I believe he did know, because as an intelligent human being if I believed someone in my team was of a different belief then I would at least find out if anything was obviously offensive, and not do anything to obviously upset someone. Anyone who thinks its purely accidental is living in a self centred bubble. Team=more than one person. Not a group of individuals. See QPR for that.

Has it been confirmed that KJ is a Rastafarian?

This is brilliant. On the eve eve of our manager leaving we're discussing whether Kenwyne Jones is a Rastafarian.
Only on the Oatcake.

In a team of 20 odd players and then maybe that again in backroom staff I don't think You're going to know the ins and outs about every person. And if him and KJ aren't pally then it can easily happen. KJ strikes me being as TonysplanB describes and I wouldn't want anything to do with him other than saying hello and shouting at him when he doesn't run and patting him on the back when he scores. Maybe he just thought he was a Christian? It could easily happen if You didn't dig. I agree about the offending people bit though, like I said earlier it's a minefield out there and most people aren't as thick skinned as I am so I keep my trap shut. I do think this is a mountain out of a molehill though.

I can't imagine many Stoke players know owt about Rastafarianism or Kenwyne's culture unfortunately, this is surely a case of a few dense fuckers thinking they're funny. Look at Brek Shea, that lad doesn't appear to posses the brains he was born with, then there's Glen Whelan... Remind me what country he's from again?!

I doubt very much that many Stoke players know owt about Rastafarianism or Kenwyne's culture really. Surely this is just a case of a few dense fuckers thinking they're being very funny. I mean look at Brek Shea, bless him. That lad doesn't appear to posses the brains he was born with! And then there's Glen Whelan... Remind me what country he's from again?!

I do think this is a mountain out of a molehill though. Theyve worked together now for a few years tho now. Yea it wouldnt bother me but if he is devout then he would see if differntly. I just think that with all the tripe ablut whelan being 'the glue' and out close knit team this shows perhaps all is not well at the cottage!
