But the guy called him a Black C**T where is the respect in that? I beleive the best solution is to scrap pre match hand shakes to eliminate a 3rd high profile repeat of this in the premier league. After the match if you have shown respect for each other during the 90mins or had a competetive battle on the pitch then YES give your opponent(s) a respectful gesture afterwards.

It was a pretty daft rule in the first place. Footballers are only human, and also bear grudges. I can remember back to when the likes of Billy Bremner and Nobby Styles would probably have preferred to throttle each other rather than shake hands. You can also count others in that same category like Jackie Charlton, Alan Ball, Dave MacKay, Norman Hunter, Ron Harris etc etc.
