2018/19 Nikola Vlasic

[Darth Toffeeman]

He will return here a much better player or will be sold for a healthy profit, if he is considered ineffective or uncommitted to us.

I am at ease with either outcome.

I don’t think the issue is that he wouldn’t wear the armband. I think it’s his citing of Christianity as the reason. Not sure the logic made sense, thus he comes across as ignorant.

Not sure of the logic in your post mate. Most religions, including the majority of Christian denominations, take a dim view on same sex relationships, and even in our country you wouldn't be able to get married in a C of E or RC church.

I'm not condoning that stance and personally have a very relaxed view on the matter. But you can understand a person who is deeply religious citing that as a reason for not wearing an armband supporting LGBT.

I'd like to think Silva will have a look at him in the summer before making a decision. The loan spell certainly seems to be working out for him which is good.

He's not ignorant he's just a Christian.

Of all the players we sent out on loan this one seems to be working out the best.
However it could just be that he is the most talented and needed to get games under his belt.

 

[Nymzee]

Scored for U21’s tonight. Not sure on any assists.

 

[andy4efc]

Just scored again.

For anyone interested:

 

[CSKA]

CSKA is a new young team and Nikola was given big leader roll here. The management, teamates, fans all believe him. Such trust make him fly and take right desicions on the pitch. We just enjoy Vlasic game right here now)

 

[Frang]

For anyone interested:

Dog and duck football that.

Deary me

Thought it was a good finish myself. Passed into the net Siggy style.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

He scored again?

Regardless of whether or not I understand or agree with him, some people were angry because he came across as ignorant. His statement was that it’s a symbol of something that his Christian world view is opposed to or something to the effect. Many would say that there isn’t any Christian doctrine or teaching that would oppose wearing the armband. If the thinks there is, I think the general intelligent Christian population might think he’s ignorant. Now I’m not disagreeing with what is the prevalent attitudes of the church, but not sure it has anything to do with the actual religion. I think there are also many people out there that think those attitudes are ignorant. I’m simply addressing the perception.

That being said, I’ve got no problem with not wearing the armband. Even if it’s a club policy to support the rights of some group. If all he said was that I’m not comfortable with the club compelling us to wear the armband because of a variety of reasons, messaging, individuality, etc., no problem. But he didn’t, he blamed it on his religion.

Not trying to start a holy war here, just explaining why I think some reacted the way they did. Him then citing his phone malfunctioned was also not exactly a stroke of genius.

Croatian's are as a majority Roman Catholic mate. That's really all you need to know.

So where is his best position?
