Is he the one with the turban?

 

[C'mon you Blues]

All Singh's are Sikh. It means Lion. Their wives are all called Kaur which means princess.

 

[pickledseal]

I always find it best to use 'most' not 'all'.........

 

[pickledseal]

..... and not all Sikh's wear turbans......

.... and wearing a turban doesn't make you a Sikh.....

 

[C'mon you Blues]

no but if you're a Sikh you usually wear a turban.

Look here, I give you this (almost) exclusive information on refereeing appointments even before the referees themselves know (or care) and it's trivialised into a debate on Sikh names.
Well if that's what you prefer, the habit of calling all the male Sikhs "Singh" and female "Kaur" started as an initiative in the late 17th century to break down the caste system, social stratification and much of the apparatus of Hindu ritual. The individual's name in those days revealed his or her caste; this was seriously undermined by everyone having the same name.


Anyway, he certainly used to be quite decent, but he's on a bit of a roll at the moment showing a kettlesque NINETEEN cards in his last two games.

From memory he is a very good ref, by our standards of appointment.

On the Sikh front, we should more accurately term Mr Singh's turban as a dastaar, as it is a Sikh turban.

No not more accurately, perhaps more precisely.

 

[pickledseal]

I'm glad there is a fair bit of knowledge on here about sikhs
far more than in my year9 class...... ;)

Gotta love Trevor Kettle. Sending off a Canvey player for a 2nd booking, when he hadn't been booked in the first place.

Saw him on MOTD the other week, as he was the 4th official and got Mark Hughes sent to the stands.
