With my apologies and thanks to Abdel who posted this on the bounce and I nicked it to put it here because I hadn't seen it posted and it is well worth a read:
Benji was interviwed by a Moroccan newspaper, he talked about a few matters but I would only mention what he said about fasting.
Q : how do you spend Ramadan in Scottland?
Benji : a bit hard as Zouma and I are the ones who keep fasting during
games. there is another Muslim plyaer ( Sol Bamba) but he wont be fasting during games.
Q : Were you fasting in Falkirk game?
Benji : yes, so Yogi wanted me not to start. I told him If I start the game I will surely break it because time to break fasting is at 9.00 pm here.
Q : What does Yogi thinks about both of you fasting?
Benji : the coach is welknown by his great attitude, imagine he told us he wants to go with us to the Mosque to meet the Imam (preacher) to know how he could help us to perform this religious duty. In addition of that he gave orders to our team cooker to make special meals so we take it with us after trainings.
Q : what about trainings?
Benji : we are going to start a new program, it may be night trainings and once a day.
Thats all concerning Ramadan issue.
