Football pet hates

I dont think it's pointless at all. It's an important show of sportsmanship imo.

 

It's a forced show of sportsmanship and as such has no worth whatsoever.

 

Should never have been brought in (in a large part as another sop to the sponsors) a few years back, and should be consigned to the scrapheap, the sooner, the better.

I just think it's an appropriate benchmark for respect across the game. Each to his own I suppose - I can't see it being binned either way.

 

It's a token gesture and doesn't stop people from being their usual selves during a match.

It must have been brought in 5-10 years ago.  Has it led to an improvement in sportsmanship?  No, it just looks nice for UEFA and the cameras.  Honestly think it's pointless.

 

pretty much agree with this, although i'm sure most of the time matches on tv seem to go to advert when they're shaking hands :lol:

Ah nah, I love that.

It's bullshit man, you've just scored a goal, it's the best feeling you can have in football and you're being all 'respectful'. Just celebrate and enjoy the moment, instead of being all dramatic and trying to make a point.

Shearer was spot on about the handshakes on MOTD last night. If during the course of a game you feel the opponent has earnt your respect then you shake their hand after the final whistle. Anything else is forced and meaningless.

Imagine scoring against Newcastle.

Even worse when a player talks up about scoring against the team they support. What kind of bullshit is that?

He done a bit of a Usain Bolt celebration and a Klinnsman when he returned to Blackburn.
