Cantley 0 Posted April 21, 2006 ..that Earnie''s going to do with the Cardiff fans tomorrow. What''s that all about? Is it the same thing those Shiites do when they''re not lacerating their backs with those little whips? If so, how on earth did that get to be a tradition at Ninian Park?Thinking about it though, the Worthy-Outers have taken self flagellation to new levels of inventiveness...

Cantley 0 Posted April 21, 2006 On reflection, does he really want to upset the Moslems? What if they say he''s mocking their deeply held beliefs? What does Mr Safri think? (not that he''s a Shiite of course...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 271 Posted April 21, 2006 From the scrimmage on thursday a cardiff supporter said no one reallys knows why it happens but his fave explanation was it was the spill over from a heavy drinken night where it started and simply carried on to the terrace on match day. This was in the late 80s and has since become a tradition for returning ex players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with Alan Brazil that one day he''s going to do himself a right mischief doing that goal celebration, and now he''s risking a Fatwah. Maybe Worthy should have a quiet word with him.

Huddy 0 Posted April 21, 2006 I found these webpages and information on the Ayatollah (and cardiffs involvment)http://www.urban75.org/cardiff/chums.htmlIt is a religious leader in iran.http://www.footballchants.org/index.htmhttp://www.footballchants.org/viewChants.phpdivs=D1&teams=56&let=A&clubname=CardiffThis website gives the song they sing about it and where it derived form (cue the religious leader)Apparently Swimmer David davies did the "ayatollah"on the podium while collecting an olympic medal.This is what i could find how, its about patting your head and dancing or something like that. .
