I definitely do not remember this being the case, because Ferdinand was not made aware of the situation til after the game, or do you mean the game yesterday? If so, fair enough, a bit late, but I think Anton should listen to what he's got to say. To me, I think Terry should have made the first move, because of what he did and what he is supposed to be, but I obviously was meant to nod towards (with my last comment) Anton reciprocating with an apology when the topic was brought up The situation between the two players (and clubs as consequence) is resolvable, but I think that the respective fans need to shut up as part of the process. Some of the Chelsea still boo Anton because they think he brought the charges against Terry in the first place, or because he's Rio's brother... If the two get down and sort it, then everyone should respect that and grow-up.
I don't like Anton for the sole reason he snubbed Ashley Cole , i don't care less about him snubbing Terry and all that crap fiasco. It's the Ash snub that pisses me off, what the **** has Ash done wrong apart from telling a court what he heard and then getting called a choc ice by Rio for it? If anything Rio should be saying sorry to him, not along with Anton refusing to shake his hand. Cole is the only one that can come out of this crap with his head held high, you didn't even see him making a fuss about the Rio thing he simply shrugged and laughed it off and moved on, yet Anton and Rio just want to keep holding grudges, one where they're actually in the wrong.
A sad state of affairs really, you can clearly see JT attempting to shake hands only for one of the officials pull his hand away. Anton in my view had the chance to man up and put the whole stupid affair to bed once and for all. It would seem that he listens to the twittering twerp too much. For what its worth I think that only the captains should shake hands before the game this at least would stop children from using it as a vehicle to carry on their pointless vendetta's.
Totally agree with this post. Ferdinand's attention seeking behaviour truly is embarrassing. The question is Saints, why are you singing from a totally different hymn-sheet over on our Board?
The whole handshake snubbing is juvenile and asinine. And it makes English footballers look even more stupid than they are
Ash spitting afterwards pretty childish. And luiz and park joining in too. Bunch of girls. Embarrassing
What's wrong with spitting? He spat in the opposite direction and it was probably to avoid eye contact. Luiz shook Anton's hand, that rumour is bollocks.
Absolutely. None of these guys have anything to be proud of in this circus. Drogs, don't start making excuses for one or other of these clowns because it drags you down to their level. They're all a total and utter disgrace to the sport.
It's pathetic and I am pleased I saved £50 and spent it taking my daughter shopping. She is three and more grown up than rio ash Anton etc
Listen I think they're all arseholes/childish/pathetic but I'm just saying Ash didn't deserve what he got.
Don't you see what you're doing though? Once you start defending "Ash", R's fans start defending Ferdinand, then you start defending Terry and on it goes round and round. There can't be any ifs or buts whether the player plays for your team or not. It must be a blanket condemnation like EC winners gave above. Respect your opinion though Drogs mate.
why the managers didn't speak to each other before the game and abandon the handshakes, god knows I felt a bit sorry for the players concerned from both teams being put in an embarrassing situation yesterday
Ash didn't deserve what he got but he still acted like the petulant pampered overpaid Pratt he is by sinking to others' levels. All of them are as bad as each other.
I agree wholeheartedly. Ferdinand's snubbing of him was a disgrace in my eyes. And then Cole lowers himself even lower by spitting in the manner that he did. I really don't like the modern professional footballer!
Yes you are. And you're undermining our whole point. As soon as you stick up for "one of your own", the other side does the same and you're then at an impasse. Did you bang your head or summat when you was young?
