Rio: I Didn’t Shake Suarez’s Hand Because I Don’t Respect Him - Republik Of Mancunia: A Manchester United Blog

Rio Ferdinand refused to shake Luis Suarez’s hand today after seeing that the Uruguayan snubbed Patrice Evra’s offer to shake his hand. Despite being found guilty of racially abusing Evra, our captain was the bigger man in agreeing to shake his hand, but bizarrely, Suarez chose not to.

“Bad decision making from their guy,” Rio told MUTV. “It’s a touchy subject at the minute. Things could have been put to bed if the handshake was done. But after seeing what I did I decided not to shake his hand. If you’ve not got the respect you need to have in these situations and acknowledge that you’ve made a mistake and say sorry, well, I lost all respect for the guy after that. It could have been resolved today but after this, it’s not great. It’s disappointing. I expected more from the guy.”

we all should also give evra credit. why?? becoz he is multilingual, i think if he wasnt able to understand spannish then i do have a doubt to believe that this former amsterdam cannibal wudve got away with it in october. so i think it really helps to speak another lingo.

that cunt suarez thot he cud say anything in spanish to french speaker and get away with it. shudve been banned for more.

kenny dalglishit, he is the one pulling all the shots

correction: i meant to say, i do have no doubt

People better Dont waste your time for some dickhead daft cunts lfc scums. They wouldnt listen, wouldnt understand these issues. Just hope suarez do a Torres, fuck off to richer clubs & we'll see their hypocrities fans might call him racist too that time.

Weldone Rio but you should have finished him with a clean sheet. The goal you game him,made him full of himself. Anyway is three point for us.

Suarez guy only regards the name at the back of his shirt and not the name at the front, what a shame he should better think of living in the summer, funky little brager.

The dippers (unfortunately know some on FB) are claiming that it was our Pat who pulled away to start with thus allowing their racist not being able to shake his hand but Pat's reaction says otherwise!!

As we sang yesterday!

IT'S NEVER YOUR FAULT, IT'S NEVER YOUR FAULT, ALWAYS THE VICTIMS.....IT'S NEVER YOUR FAULT!

Theres no point even getting in to it with liverpool fans. Look at them i mean fucking hell, fuck fourth these fuckers will struggle to get a europa league spot. The whole system there is laughable, from when you spend 35 million on a donkey you cant expect to be taken seriously. The funniest thing is theyre being loyal to a convicted racist, and do u honestly think that ugly racist scumbag will return the favour...bollocks, give it two years and while these scouse numptys are struggling to finish 6th the racist will be gone in a flash.

Despite the above being bollocks ( It looks like the dirties have exhausted all 911/JFK conspiracies and are dredging the barrell)

It was Evra as the victim who had the choice whether to shake hands or not, he never got a chance to accept the offer from Suarez. He might be small be Evra is twice the man that suarez is just for offering his hand in the first place.

Suarez should be grateful it wasn't Remi Moses he racially abused, he might just be missing more than 8 games this season.

You have to accept it Scouce cunts, YOU ARE FINISHED,plain and simple!!!!!
Just look at your performances on and of the field, winning almost nothing for these last 10 years or so and above all the handling of the Suarez affair from your top brass in your so called f'ball club was utter disgrace. You have turned into the laughing stock of world f'ball.
Just enjoy it you stupid assholes all of you !!!!!!
