Of course not, it's not as if the tradition of Muslim Rosary beads was established six centuries ago or anything....

anyhow...
Prayer beads for all faiths are ancient. Rosary beads are Christian. He is a Muslim, he wouldn't pray on a rosary.
"The number of beads also vary depending on the different religions. Islamic prayer beads, called "Misbaha", "Tasbih" or "Tesbih", usually have either 99 or 33 beads. Buddhists and Hindus use the Japa MalaBaha'i... The Sikh Mala also has 108 beads. The secular Greek "komboloi" has an odd number of beads— Roman Catholics use the "Rosary" (Latin "rosarium", meaning "rose garden")"

Let's just agree they are anal beads, maybe Al's
Away from all the beads, Tom Carroll had another decent performance tonight. Really like this lad, has a good brain and seems pretty cool on the ball. He looks so bloody bloody young though.
Bet them beads weighed more than Tom Carrol, he looks about nine.

I thought he looked twelve with the head of an 8 year old.
Great strike by Pav, I was more entertained watching the away end, 30 of them, couple had cheerleader poms.
Also Jeff Brazier & Sheridan Smith was a few rows infront of me. Didn't know they were yido's
Just got back, thinking Gomes only gave us a good reminder of why we're better off with Friedel, and then see loads of people loving Gomes off. Did I miss something special? I thought he did the basics but even then not very convincingly.
Apart from that I was fairly happy with most of them though.
