Hypocrisy? Papiss Cisse spotted Gambling after refusing to wear 'Money Lending' shirt

Cisse on an Individual war with Newcastle
Papiss Cisse has been on the headlines of every Newcastle news paper this summer, He is on an individual protest with the football club for refusing to wear the Wonga.com branding on Newcastle United’s shirts because of his beliefs as a Muslim.(HERE).

The Senegalese has been forced to train alone ever since and he even pulled out of Newcastle's preseason tour to Portugal after giving the red light to the new sponsors of the Club.

Under Sharia law, Muslims must not benefit from either lending money or receiving money from another person - meaning that interest is prohibited.

Cisse is ready to follow this law to the letter even though fellow muslims - Cheick Tiote, Hatem Ben Arfa and Mousa Sissoko have all endorsed the kits.

Inconsistency! Cisse endorsing Virgin money but not Wonga
Abu Tayeb, founder of the Islamic Diversity Centre, accused Cisse of hypocrisy by claiming that he should have made the exact same protest when asked to wear the shirt bearing the Virgin Money logo last season.

"Islam considers interest in all its forms impermissible. Whether it’s Virgin Money, Northern Rock, Barclays Bank, Lloyds TSB, Wonga – whoever it might be, interest is completely prohibited," he told Sky Tyne & Wear.

"Even though I support Papiss Cisse over this decision not to promote Wonga the issue for me is the inconsistency."

Hypocritical one? Cisse spotted at the Cassino 
Well Cisse has taken Hypocrisy to a whole different level, as an image has emerged on Twitter that claims to show the Senegalese forward gambling in a casino!!!!!

Supporter Andrew McNally, who claims to have taken the photograph at a blackjack table in Aspers casino, said the striker spoke about upcoming Newcastle games as he placed £10 and £20 stakes.

Neither the club nor the player's agent were available for comment when approached by the media.

‘Cisse was just placing small bets, £10 or £20 with £5 chips,’ McNally told the Daily Mirror.

‘A number of fans have said that they have seen him in there. You have to say it does undermine his stance on Wonga.

‘It seems to me that he wants a move away because a moneybags club have come in for him in Russia, Anzhi, and he now feels he can make more money there. That is certainly what many of the fans think.


Well i'm not going to judge anybody... I can as well say i don't take alcohol but i cant do without Vodka. Double standards?
