The Chelsea fans who booed him are too thick to understand that they were booing a guy for being racially abused. For being provocatively black. They're as thick as the Scouse vermin who booed Evra. I don't understand how grown men can have so much blind loyalty to an ignorant, overpaid, overrated twat simply because he plays for their club. Love the club not the player.
I agree with everything you said there, i was watching the game and i was like '' they are booing a player who was (allegedly ) being rasically abused''.
Dude from what i read in the papers Antons lawyers had told him (a few weeks beforehand) not to shake hands. Maybe it was out of his hands so to speak.
How dare he not shake his hand. Why on Earth would he not want to shake the hand of such a man? He should have hugged him too. Imbecile.
I know he has reasons not to like Terry but after the Bridge and Suarez incidents every man and his dog said that players should shake hands regardless. Seems people have forgotten everything they said at the time. The whole country said the refusing a handshake is outrageous behaviour so it should still be that, regardless of the reasons I'll quote Richard Scudamore: "It's not a handshake that says everybody loves everybody else. It's a handshake that says 'whatever's gone on before now and whatever will go on after this game is over, for the next 90 minutes, let's just play a game of football'. It's nothing more symbolic than that, which is why in our view, they should continue - period."
They're very different cases. Ferdinand's solicitor is right when he says that it could prejudice the case to be seen shaking Terry's hand, regardless of what he thinks of him. Scudamore is an idiot. 'Let's just play a game of football' would be excellent in a hypothetical world where players aren't spending 90 minutes trying to con referees and feigning injury. Shake hands at the end of the game, by all means, but before the game is futile. The handshake is nothing more than an excuse to play that **** 'everything is marvellous' Premier League music.
