This really is a disgrace. I absolutely hate the mofos who run the game in this country. Spineless cunts.

[Liverpel]

Big surprise there.

How can everyone around the country seemingly be so blind to this?

[ChesterDave]

Because most people in the country, and this goes for all matters not just football, only seem to know what to care/get angry about what the newspapers tell them to.

Its beyond ridiculous how ****ing lion heart gets this kind of treatment compared to Suarez. Luis is booed up and down the country while Terry has AVB sacked, does team talks and gets reinstated in the England side AGAIN while Bridge has to basically give up hope of playing. Granted he's not good enough, but he was thereabout at one point.

This is total bull****, that said it's not unexpected, I think alot of us on here probably called it. It's blatantly the FA looking after their own

Heard on the radio that this was initially an option but the PL insisted on the handshake, so it wouldnt be cancelled.

Funny how they cancel it for brave JT, but didnt cancel it when we went to Old Trafford.

When we went to OT, there was no request to cancel it, and everybody including Louis agreed to do it. Of course, it didn't go as planned.

Why are you guys so bothered about this? Am I missing something? Is it important?

Can MrM do a word filter for John Terry. Replacing it every-time with 'England's Brave John Terry'

I read that Ferdinand had been advised by his legal team that shaking Terry's hand could prejudice the court decision or something. I don't know.

I think there are differences between this and the Luis/Evra scenario. In that case it seemed both teams were happy for it to go ahead, in this case it doesn't, ergo it's cancelled.

Im not really bothered, but it does seem that they are protecting him from any abuse. Which too be honest I think is probably a good thing given the situation. I just wish they would be consistent.

He has a different name in our house

The two situations are not the same.
