With the international break over the Premier League resumes this weekend and there’s already a problem without a ball being kicked, because tomorrow QPR host Chelsea, I’m sure you all remember the eventful nature of last year’s encounter.
Which is the cause of the problem, because the players have to line-up and shake hands at the start of each match in a very orderly fashion, the QPR players have decided that they don’t fancy shaking hands with John Terry or Ashley Cole for that matter, in light of Terry and Ferdinand’s recent court case.
There is one simple and easy way to put an end to this, stop forcing the players to shake hands at the start of a game, it’s a stupid idea and while some have said it’s designed to highlight and demonstrate respect in the game, from my point of view all it seems to have done is give the players another opportunity to fall-out.
Take the Suarez, Evra incident as exhibit A, is that the kind of example the FA were hoping for, and what’s the point of players shaking hands if 30 seconds into the game they’ve already resorted to swearing and squaring up to one another.
Just make the simple easy decision to scrap this stupid idea, it isn’t working and all its doing is straining already fractured relations between certain players, just go back to the old method where players came out took their positions started the game and shook hands at the end if they wanted to, forcing them to shake hands clearly isn’t helping anyone or anything.
